Thought it might be nice to have a central place to talk about Vita instead of spread all over the forum.

Really cant wait till 22nd, I preordered my Vita weeks ago and I think I have nailed down what games and accessories I want for day one:
Vita Wifi Version
16Gb Memory Card
Uncharted Golden Abyss (natch)
Everybodys Golf
Unit 13

Who else is getting one, and what are they going to buy with it?

[DirtyLarry]

Also very excited as well. 23 days left...
I am definitely getting
Vita WiFi Version
32 GB Memory Card
Wipeout 2048

I also have Uncharted, Rayman Origins and Hot Shots Golf on my Gamefly Queue.
The next couple of months I am upping my Gamefly subscription from 3 games to 4 games just for the Vita. I literally manage my Gamefly sub from month to month, and go anywhere from 1 game to 4 games out at a time. All depends on what is being released and how much. Anyway they have an option to keep games now, so if I like the game, will just purchase it, but I see the games I am renting, Uncharted and Rayman, as games once I beat them I am done. Hot Shots Golf I very well may keep. So I see Gamefly being very integral to my Vita enjoyment.

I still actually have $40 credit at Amazon which will also go towards the Vita (everything I have gotten so far has been from Gift Certificates from XMas specifically given to me for the Vita. That is all I asked for). So with that $40, I may get a case. Will see how it goes once I have it. I may just get a PSN card, as I know I am going to get a decent amount for the Vita off the PSN.

I'm still unsure of getting the Vita, as much as I would love one, right now I do have a few more serious monetary commitments (mortgage) that need sorting before dropping £400 on a gaming system (and games/card) Annoying because I feel I will be missing out, but I guess it's time to grow up and prioritise.

I've no doubt I will have one before the year is out though.

Preordered the 3G version and I'm going to get Uncharted and probably Wipeout and LittleBigPlanet but later. Can't wait.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

My friend is getting one from Japan. Tommorow.
Should be interesting.

Any games you guys recommend, that goes well with Vita

[+Jdawg683]

anticipating the Vita launch last year, i just asked for a bunch of gift cards for Christmas. Easiest gifts to buy for people!

pre-ordered the Vita Wifi on Amazon - had $150 Visa GC, $50 Amazon GC. $50 out-of-pocket

I have $45 in GCs for Best Buy. going to pick up Golden Abyss - that'll be only $8 out-of-pocket after tax

I have $19 in Gamestop credit and a $25 GC - going to pick up a 32GB card. That'll be $64 out-of-pocket.

Total initial Vita investment will be $122

+1, same here. I'm having other things to do with my money at the moment.

I hope they add support for PSOne Classic soon. You can play them on the PSP why not on the Vita?

Hmm didnt even think about renting games out, I could sign up for Lovefilm (Netflix equivalent) and rent out Everybodys Golf, Unit 13 and any other games I want. £5.99 a month and I can get 2 games out a month.

I do want some PSP games I missed first time round especially with the fact that you can map the second analogue stick to emulate the face buttons for camera. But id rather wait till launch day and see what is available/compatible with the Vita than buy a load now and then not be able to play them.

PSOne support is 'coming soon', they wanted to get PSP emulation working for launch from what ive been reading around the net.

Yeah I remember when I had a PSP and I saw one could rent games for it through Gamefly I thought to myself I would have never expected to be able to rent games for a handheld, so luckily there are options that allow one to do just that. Can save an awful lot of money and also check out many more games than you would have otherwise. So does pay for itself even if it is a bit costly as Gamefly is.

And yeah, just so many games one can go an revisit once they get the PSOne support and just the fact PSP emulation works. I highly recommend God of War Chains Of Olypmus to anyone who has not played the PSP version yet, it was a great game period, never-mind the fact it was on a handheld. Truly was an impressive feat.

I am also really looking forward to Unit 13. I think it has a lot of potential to be a sleeper hit on the Vita, and I like the idea of doing little missions here and there.

I couldn't help but notice the op didn't bother to post japanese sales later than xmas. I wonder why that'd be...

Because i was too busy just trying to format the page before i collated all the information. There is no agenda here.

Can't wait till its hacked

[TheLegendOfMart]

I don't think it ever will. You can't mount it as USB Storage you have to use Sony's Content Manager software to copy anything to the Vita.

Plus if the PS3 is anything to go by and any lessons learned I don't think the Vita will be hacked to the same scale as the PSP did. I think it runs everything sandboxed anyway.
