[PhantomOfTheKnight]

I have some hope for this game... but memories of this PSP launch title give me shivers:

...it's Activision, so yeah...

 

[Twinduct]

There's nothing there that's not already pretty obvious. I'm picking up the 3G model on the strength of what might come in the future.

Same boat. Still undecided ;<

Posted this in the other thread but here is Wipeout demo gameplay:

[theBishop]

Ruin is one of my most anticipated titles, but I really hate the new name.

Online coop is confirmed, right? That could push me firmly into buy territory.

 

[yurinka]

I won't pay $40 for Lumines but i'll bite for $30. Guess I'll have to wait for a sale.

Same here. Let's wait for PSN prices, maybe it's cheaper there.
But I want a 29.99 (or lower) retail game.

 

[Number45]

Online coop is confirmed, right? That could push me firmly into buy territory.

Not sure if I'm honest. I know it's a title that you can play on both the Vita and PS3 (sharing a save) and there's a base attacking/defending component, that's about it.

 

[yurinka]

Nor does it have awesome tracks like these: (Yes these are two tracks from Lumines Vita)

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35KLBpSpIfg

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J71FLwVNps8

Lumines Vita also includes this one:

[CloakedPuppet]

Did BestBuy US have a similar deal to what we got in Canada? They were giving a free copy of Uncharted with the bundle pre-order.

Not that I've seen. I'm still a little shocked at how great of a promo that was. Very glad that I was able to get in on it.

Song number 2 above is awesome. I can just imagine playing that in Lumines. I can't wait!

 

[03sho]

Are all games gonna be available on the PSN same time as its released n the shops?

Thinking of going all digital. Can't see myself carrying carts around. How big are the games?

 

[Toki767]

That's what they're advertising. All games day and date released on PSN and retail. The biggest game so far (Uncharted) is like 2.7gb or something.

 

[JWong]

That's what they're advertising. All games day and date released on PSN and retail. The biggest game so far (Uncharted) is like 2.7gb or something.

It's a great thing. Logically, could expect almost up to 4gb until they decide to get bigger carts.

 

[Kerub]

Wipeout looks amazing! It's getting harder and harder not to pre order Vita. :<

 

[pooptacular]

If I buy a physical copy of a game can I register it on psn and download whenever I want like a steamworks game?

 

[Toki767]

It's a great thing. Logically, could expect almost up to 4gb until they decide to get bigger carts.

The only issue is in the US I really doubt the games will be cheaper on PSN when compared to retail. In Japan games are around $10 or so cheaper on PSN than MSRP retail, though some stores still undercut PSN pricing on games. I expect in the US that Vita games on PSN will be strictly MSRP which means retail stores having sales will still put the physical copies cheaper than digital.

If I buy a physical copy of a game can I register it on psn and download whenever I want like a steamworks game?

Nope. That would be a great idea though. But I'm sure people would just end up buying a game, registering, and then selling the retail game.

 

[BeEatNU]

If I buy a physical copy of a game can I register it on psn and download whenever I want like a steamworks game?

No, physical and downloadable is separate

 

[Figboy79]

I'm getting so insanely pumped for February. I keep expecting the shoe to drop, and me not being able to pick it up on the 22nd.

It's going to be nerve-wracking this last month.

 

[Apath]

I won't pay $40 for Lumines but i'll bite for $30. Guess I'll have to wait for a sale.

I think I'm just going to settle with playing Lumines Supernova on the Vita from my PS3. I'm sure it'll drop to $20ish after a few months.

 

[Deadstar]

I think I'm just going to settle with playing Lumines Supernova on the Vita from my PS3. I'm sure it'll drop to $20ish after a few months.

It looks really good and I'm super excited but $40 just seems to steep to me. I wonder how much it will be on psn as a direct download. That may be a good option.

 

[mhayze]

So if I buy a 3G model and pull the SIM card out of an AT&T phone with a data plan and just stick it in the Vita, would that work, or is that not possible?

 

[Takao]

...it's Activision, so yeah...

That was back when SOE was an independent member of SCE.

 

[MikeE21286]

I think I'm just going to settle with playing Lumines Supernova on the Vita from my PS3. I'm sure it'll drop to $20ish after a few months.

Is this actually confirmed we can do that?

 

[Zep]

Interested in seeing what kind of bundle Costco will offer.

 

[Wario64]

Q Entertainment twitter said Amazon will have a preorder exclusive for Lumines. 3 MP3 tracks from Q.


Also, I'm sure Lumines Supernova doesnt have remote play, unless remote play is enabled on Vita for PSN games...which would be news to me

I'm interested in the soft pouch. The one that was included with PSP too and that is sold in the Starter Kit above. Does it mean that Sony is not going to sell this pouch separately?

Would you suggest me a pouch as little as possible?
Thanks.

Thanks.

good. glad i preordered on amazon. i hope it's some adele or raft punk remixes.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I can't imagine why Vita would have a need for a SIM card, so I doubt it. Of course if it did work, AT&T would probably nail you with an upgrade fee.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Confirmed on the WipEout 2048 Facebook page...JPN version, like Uncharted, is bilingual and indeed has English included.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

I do not know if it is already covered but.... the 3G Vita works even without a simcard, right? I know that the 3G US units will be simcard-locked, but it is the only model I will be able to buy, so I will left the 3G function without use, but all the rest will be fine, right?

And why the Japanese launch thread was closed?

 

[mattiewheels]

Going to try to go to the Vita club in Miami tonight, are they open the same hours as the opening night? Hard to find information about it.

 

[e_i]

Gah...is Gravity Rush coming on 2/15 or not? GS says 2/15, AMZ says 5/29.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Gah...is Gravity Rush coming on 2/15 or not? GS says 2/15, AMZ says 5/29.

It's been classified as "Launch Window" by SCEA. So it'll release in the weeks or months after 2/22. GameStop hasn't updated their listings.

 

[The Elite]

I don't think it's launch. My theory is April.

Damn. Besides Uncharted it's my most wanted game.

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

Not that I've seen. I'm still a little shocked at how great of a promo that was. Very glad that I was able to get in on it.

Ya, I surprised a couple EB managers showing them that certificate... I had to cancel my (long-paid-off) EB pre-order to take advantage of it, but I wasn't going to ignore a free copy of Uncharted.

Damn. Besides Uncharted it's my most wanted game.

I was so excited by it that I paid off the pre-order back in December... Oh well, with interest rates so low, it's not like I could make the $40 work for me any other way...

 

[Carl]

My mum said she might give me some money towards, or even fully pay for my Vita as an early 21st birthday present Which would be awesome, as i can then buy a 16GB card instead of the 8GB i planned to get, and maybe pick up an extra game too. Good times.

 

[e_i]

Going to buy a 16 GB card at GS today. Was going to buy from Amazon, but they're offering no discounts.

Wipeout is going to be available on PSN, right?

 

[Carl]

how was in size WO on PS3?

I wonder how big are 'psn' games like stardust and such. I think sony needs to push those games even more than retail titles, vita should be the portable XBLA machine.

 

[dallow_bg]

That can't be right.

How can they have games that aren't released?
And I'm sure Uncharted was like 2.7GB.

And I'm sure Uncharted was like 2.7GB.

Maybe they've got review copies/downloads?

I would expect PAL games to be larger, unfortunately. More language options = more data, especially where full voiceovers are used (as I'd guess is the case in Uncharted).

Another inventive to go with a foreign account as your primary on Vita for downloads, I guess... (if English is your language)
