I got Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

If you change the system language to english, the game is in English.
Also, on the Playstation Store, you can purchase all of the launch titles.

Right now I am downloading a free Game called みんなといっしょ (Minnatoisyo)

Uncharted is fun, but aiming seems a little difficult so far. I just made it to chapter one.

I wish other titles would be like that, but i'm sure that's the only one since it has an American dev behind it, thus it was simply localized to japanese for the japanese launch, QQ.
I'd love to import the Vita, but none of the launch titles I want would be fun in japanese.

Anyways, only unboxing video i'll ever watch. It looks nice, can't wait to buy my own.



I think I am gonna wait until 3rd party like sandisk or kingston release cheaper memory card and that are the same quality as Sony. They really shot themself in the foot with those.

Good luck waiting forever, unless you can stand lesser quality, cheaper memory cards.
But even then i'm somewhat doubting they'll come into existence since the only reason they're specific mem cards, is for anti-piracy measures. if everyone and their pet monkey could make a memory card for the vita, there'd be no point to it.

Life always finds a way. There wasn't a single game console with memory cards that were not produced by 3rd party, even consoles with proprietary formats had the pleasure of having knock-offs of those.

Given Sandisk Pro Duo's are better quality than Sony's own Pro Duo's where does that reasoning stem from?

PSP games are downloadable through PSN. If you own a hard copy (UMD) of a game, you get a discount for that game on PSN.

As for me, I'll wait till the US launch for the hardware + memory stick. For games and accessories (mainly HORI products), I'll be importing them soon, once I settle an agreement with my father...

OT:
How does the analog sticks feel?
Is the Vita comfortable to hold?
How's the battery life so far?
How sensitive is the touch screen/rear pad?

Yeah but the PS Vita isn't fully compatible with PSP games. The ones that weren't released on PSN such as KH Birth By Sleep you can't download it on the PS vita.

I was going to ask for this for Christmas. I had it all planned out. Buy a 3DS myself. Get a PS Vita for Christmas. Unfortunately, I live in America :(

Most PSP games are playable but not all, even games that are not on the compatibility list might be workable. It's using a software emulator for psp games

PSP games are downloadable through PSN. If you own a hard copy (UMD) of a game, you get a discount for that game on PSN.

not all games majority of the games aren't umd passportable

Are the speakers loud/soft/just right/whatever? I don't really use headphones while playing so I just wanna know. :)

Also, the Vita setup looks really cool and incredibly easy. Looks similar to the DSi setup style but with full touch capability, great music and a nice video.

Multitasking is also really cool! :D The OS somewhat resembles Android though. :O

I'm really eager to get one. :lol:
