Disappointing if true. No price cut in the US (and I presume Europe as well):

Dunno if it's true but -
He's going to say no price drop until theya nnounve or else people won't buy, just wait for the price drop
A lot of people are already doing that, though...

Holy crap my spellcheck - sorry!
And yeah but I dunno, saying yeah we will drop the price in a couple of months will basically kill all sales till then.
if it's not getting one now it will get one later this year... maybe in march at the GDC when it's close to soul sacrifice.
I would be AAAAAAAAAAAALL over this babeh, what little I have played of Dustforce on PC I loved it and would love it on portable form.

Im trying to get into HS golf but im so bad at it its frustrating... Cant put for the life of me
Are you enjoying it though? It's not that surprising, I always have problems with putting, it's pretty difficult at anything beyond a certain range. Sometimes it feels like putt luck.

Next Vita game I'm going to buy is LittleBigPlanet. I got the demo and really liked it.
Well the Vita referral program is almost over. If anyone has bought a new Vita recently or is planning on buying one before the 28th and wants to get a $20 PSN credit, go here psvita.amplifinity.com/offer enter my referral number: 14224003
It's only open to U.S. and the Vita has to be new.

If the exchange rate didn't suck I'd import these just to test out the Vita/PSP/Android app: http://www.confitelia.com/epages/ea...jectPath=/Shops/ea3441/Products/8424248910679

Did you already figure out how to spin?
Problem with HS Golf is that a lot isn't even explained and some things are just explained in the loading screens which you easily miss (but can review somewhere in the options). I would advise you to just google for some tips.

Even with tips, putting remains an exercise in pure frustration; nobody has been able to explain that to me properly yet.
Oh yes, even knowing the tricks HS Golf definately remains a very tough game especially at the later levels but I for one definately felt a jump in my performance when I read about some stuff that otherwhise I maybe never would have figured out.

Just a week away~!
Ahhh, nonono ^^
I didn't refer to putting in particular but just to the gameplay in general.
I want but can't force myself to order this alone.
For a second I thought you had it early and got jealous.
Then all the handheld games would be a piece of shit. Just because the games are on a handheld doesn't mean they're supposed to be inferior.
I just registered mine. Seems to have worked.
Yeah, I feel ya. I love the game but I struggle with the putting no end. I found this guide quite useful, though a lot of it really does come down to practice.
I'd stick with it though, it's a cracking little game.
Stoppppp, I'm tempted enough as it is. Who are you ordering through again?
Ah, I see.
but they are inferior,look at Sly,COD or NFSMW.
we are getting gimped versions and late ports for $40/$50 right now.
These are just bad games. But you have a point with ports.
But handheld exclusive games shouldn't be cheap games. We have smart phones for insignificant games nobody cares of.

The ports of Marvel VS. and Street Fighter are fantastic...
so not all ports are created inequal

But Sly and NFSMW are fantastic on the Vita, and cheaper than the main console versions. Sly is only 27.99 on the PSN store.

Man, AC Liberation looks wwaaaayy better in person than in screenshots.
Dat classic Assasin's Creed framerate, though. It'll be hilarious if Ubisoft still can't make a stable AC game next-gen.

Keep it.
or just add another $5 on it and get Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure(which is pretty freaking fantastic)

Absolutely not, especially when comparing it to the DS3.
I just looked at my DS3, it's not really comparable for what i'm talking about I think. DS3 has a large gap and smoothed widgets, whereas the vita has a small gap and the widgets have a sharp edge where they meet in the center of the dpad so that when my thumb is in the center and moving around, the middle of my thumb gets sore.

You must use the d-pad differently than I do. I tend to use the outside of the d-pad with rolling motions. This type of use is murder on my thumb if I'm using a DS3.
Sounds like your thumb is being pressed too hard around the middle and going down into that small crack.

Ok, I'm still hung up on this PSN purchases not transferring to PS4.
Here's why:
PSVita currently uses PSN for purchases and online and works with PS3 to do game downloads and transfers from PSN.
If the Vita is supposed to be such a "core" device for the PS4 where I will be able to link it up and stream everything to it and play on it... it's supposed to be the PS4's "BFF" according to the graphic in the presentation last night... then how is it going to work if they don't use the same online service?
The way Yoshida spoke, it was a blanket statement... almost as if the PS4's online service is something new, something not PSN.
So will I not be able to download games to my PS4 and transfer them to my Vita?
I find this very concerning at the moment.

I think my thumb is typically in the middle and moves around from there, always coming back to the middle and then to another direction.
I think you're misreading it. Vita will be able to handle transfers from it to PS3 and it to PS4, but PS3 content is not transferable to PS4. The only real exception would be stuff like PS1 classics, which pretty much have their own emulator per system.

Well I learned a expensive lesson this gen. I will def be more cautious when I purchase digital if I even do on the PS4.
He was just talking about Backward compatibility. and it's the same service it is just that PS4 will not play PS3 PSN games since the hardware is completely different.
I'm pretty sure PS4 will get a Content manager assistant for Vita since they even bothered to make Gaikai tech for Vita already.
