Vita-only owner here, and I have been since launch day. Recently I've been contemplating whether to get PS+, so I'll ask GAF if it's worth the $50 for 15 months.
I used to own Gravity Rush but sold it before I finished the game, and this is what I have:
Persona 4 Golden - PSN
Hot Shots Golf - card
Super Stardust Delta
Sound Shapes
Motorstorm RC
Mutant Blobs
I hear we get 1 or 2 new Vita games every month, but I'm afraid that those free games might become HSG, SSD, or any game I have. I also don't know what else I'm interested in on top of my head that got released in 2012 other than LBP, Ragnarok, and Virtue's Last Reward. For 2013 so far only Soul Sacrifice is the Vita game I'm considering a purchase, and the rest are 3DS games.
So there is somewhat of a great risk in investing in this service. Is the risk worth it for the long term?
To make it a simpler question, I guess, should I get PS+ or Soul Sacrifice if I can only get one?

I think I was underestimating myself, I just beat the boss of the third level in Ninja Gaiden on my first try, on normal difficulty. On the PS3 version, I was stuck on him for a long time, although I kept trying to spam the flying swallow technique but still he seemed way easier on this playthrough. I was actually kind of shocked that I beat him so easily.
Also I really wish I could stay up for the event.. work tomorrow in the AM so I have to get to bed soon

(There isn't really that much of a risk IMO. Judging from your list, you don't own either Ninja Gaiden Sigma+, Gravity Rush, Wipeout, or Uncharted, and those three games combined would be worth about $140 alone. The cloud saving and PS+ exclusives/discounts are just icing on the cake. If you're interested in the games currently at offer, go for PS+ first.
I'd go with PS+. I've only had my Vita a month and so far I've got for free Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Knytt, Wipeout 2048 (Aus PSN store) and I've got discounts on nearly everything else I've bought.
Yeah,pretty much.
They needed to do something, this "out of no where" Vita event maybe it's Vita last chance of saving itself.
They lost even Digimon, that put the official end of PSP as a platform that worth anything in Japan, Vita is already "too late" to be another PSP but it's not too late to be a "decent" platform in Japan, not PSP2 but something that not abysmal, they need start from scratch with the Japanese handheld market now.
and I really hope they don't screw it.
Alright I'll probably wait a little bit more by March 4th before deciding to get PS+ or not.
The current list looks OK, but it doesn't make me run to get a PS+ asap. Hopefully the game that replaces Retro City Rampage will be interesting, and if PS Meeting has a part dedicated for Vita something interesting is shown for PS+ as well.
Well thanks for the input everyone.

In Japan they pretty much ceased shipment of new Vita.
It may indicate the price cut, but we'll see.
(I called it a month ago, btw
tell me about mah future.
well hopefully they do that ,they needed a price cut like in last summer.

That's my plan. Get to work hungover, drink some coffee, hate life... then all of a sudden Vita goodness will brighten my otherwise spirit crushing day!

I want a 128gb card so badly. I don't think I'd buy a 64gb card at release... it wouldn't be enough... needs to be at least 90+.
You've had a Vita since day 1 and that's all you have?
I'm a university student, and people like me don't have much money.
Also, I've been switching from 3DS and Vita from time to time. For example, the first third of 2012 was mostly 3DS (MK, SM3DL, eShop games, KI), then the rest of the year was Vita (P3P, P4G, HSG, Gravity Rush mainly).
2013 so far I finished P4G right before I got FE:A. I guess I'll finish FE then move back to Vita with Soul Sacrifice and NG+ for P4G before the rest of the year which is Animal Crossing and Pokemon.
Being a handheld gamer complements the conditions of a college student very well.

Flop presentation, I want my 3AM back -_-
They announced a 20% price drop plus new trailers for games. Fine by me.
Edit: Finally shown and confirmed the still existing FFX HD.
But yeah, overall a bit weak. Although it might server nicely as trailer/ad thing for JP.

Generation of Chaos 6 & Haku-oki 2.
Went in expecting atleast one of the following:
- Mem size increase/ Mem card price drop
- New firmware (with folders)
- at least one new game with high possibility of coming to the west.
Got some new footage for Dragon's Crown, SS, GE2 and some confirmation that FFX exists.
I would say I'm 10/10 totos :/

You might not like the games shown, but they seem to have a pretty solid line-up for the next quarter if you saw the ending montage.
What was in there? Stream bugged out for me.

Their problem is not the amount of games, it's new game announcements. Lot's of these were already mentioned in Vita Heaven 1...
Remember, this were also tailored toward the Japanese audience. I don't believe Soul Sacrifice, God Eater 2, Gundam, Valkyria Knights 3, Phantasy Star Online 2 or Final Fantasy X HD are small games. They aren't for me (FFX is!) but I think they might have done alright with this PS Heaven, besides no new games.
Don't know about him, but won't start caring until some form of confirmation of the games coming to the west
In all honesty though, the SS game looked insane and would love if Sony pushes some mad DLC for the game.

Soul Sacrifice
Something that looked like a chibi dungeon crawler
Muramasa
NGS2+
DOA5
Atelier Meruru+
Baseball Game
+ a few more I can't remember
Half of these have been confirmed for the west.

Do the Japanese really want all those Monster Hunter clones? Wouldn't they rather have Monster Hunter?

It doesn't help that only one of those is exclusive to Vita.

Console exclusivity is overrated. I really love the double releases of Vita + PS3 games, it's the only way to target both the east and west markets.
Well they kinda hinted new game at the end, but I'm sure that's not for Western Audience so..
Edit: Alright, so it's pretty much confirmed, but I'm sure it'll never come out at Western region so it's just me I guess..

You forgot toukiden, and I think it's a little far fetched to call every single multiplayer action-rpg game a MH clone. DC a MH clone? Now that's stretching it as hell.
When the perception that 3DS and Wii U were failing, Nintendo held events that brought out their heavy hitters and attempted to bring confidence to the systems. Sony gives us a price cut and nothing else. Does anybody have confidence in a Vita turnaround in JAPAN with an event like that? Cause I sure as hell don't.

Toukiden's on the list. And I'm just poking fun at Dragon's Crown since some people in the Vita Heaven Thread were calling it that.

They showed a lot of games for the systems but they get the ditch just because they are not new and MP centric?
