What do you think are the chances of it selling out is it worth per ordering or just turning up on the day. At least that way you have a choice of store incase there are any offers.

I wouldn't say it would sell out. But its always worth it, just in case.

Id be worried that if I preordered in say game then GameStop would have abetter deal and I'd be stuck with game

Is there any full list of launch games yet or even reviews from the JPN launch? I'm going to get Uncharted anyway (despite never playing the others as I don't have a PS3) as it seems to be the one. I have a couple of PSN games already from where I purchased the ill advised PSP Go, but I want to get one or two others as well. I'm not sure if Ninja Gaiden is going to be at launch, nor do I want Rayman Origins (which is fantastic but I can't imagine playing it on a device I can easily throw at a wall!).

I think there's Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Everybodys Golf but I can't really find a definitive list if one exists so any help would be appreciated, especially reviews.

Q: I've read that the 32GB memory card is not going to be available in Europe at launch. 1. Is this true? 2. If I bought one from the US, would it work on a European PSV?

Anyone have any details on launch bundles yet, HMV or otherwise?

cloud493 · 19-01-2012 7:37pm

Why will a 32gb stick be necessary?

cloud493 · 19-01-2012 8:15pm

Wait, this is out on the 15th, not the 22nd

DarkDusk · 19-01-2012 8:59pm

Guess it depends on how big games are that you download.

Have to say, being able to look at your Wipeout ship through AR looks really good!

Game are now doing a bundle which consists of a Wi-fi only Vita with a game and a free 4Gb memory card for either £259.98 or £269.98 depending on which game you choose.
So in euro terms... 280, or 290 I'd reckon. Probably jack it up to 300.

I'll probably just import the card. 32gig is 100$ which will be about 80€ in real terms but probably 120€ in store!

I was going to buy a PSP but looking at this thread has made me think I'm better of waiting.

I'm interested in finding out more about the full range of games available for the VITA, does anyone have link to a list?

Also, I don't want to pay through the nose for this console, so would it be better to wait a few months before picking it up? Is a drop in price very likely, after the luke warm take up in other countries?

I found this

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/12/22/playstation-vita-launch-lineup-and-details/

Seems to show the launch titles and those that will launch within a month. Bear in mind that most PSP Games (PSP and Mini, no PSOne classic yet) will work on the PSP Vita so there's a massive range to choose from already (God of War, GTA: Chinatown Wars are but three)

I wouldn't get a PSP now unless money is an issue. You will definitely get a PSP new for less than 100€ and games (physical copies) in stores are dirt cheap. With the Vita, you are paying a premium for the latest and greatest, and it will be a while before you start seeing games cheaper.

cloud493 · 20-01-2012 9:16pm

I'd say if you were looking for a PSP now, go for the 1000, dirt cheap, as are the games.

the price of a 2000 or 3000 would not be much more and you'll be better off with that.

I would wait.

Not if you saw the prices people try to get for them on adverts

cloud493 · 21-01-2012 4:56pm

60e trade in for PSP 3000 in Game when trading in towards a PS Vita.

Why am I getting a Gran Turismo vibe, all of a sudden?

And here's the same intro, but with the directors commentary.

I put down €50 for the WiFi only version. So yeah, I don't really see much point of the 3G version.
