At this rate (doesn't seem like Ami-Ami will stock it), I might just have to wait for the official release and import it from the states or something like that *shrugs*

Or... you could come to Japan and line up with me!

Well actually I got my cousin to get me a couple via pre-orders, so at the very least I definitely have mine.

but will still need to do the line up to get a few more extra units.

Hahahahahahaha, awfully tempting, but my parents would skin me alive if I skipped the country, right before my graduation ceremony

I would have preordered if not for the button swap on the JAP models. Will wait for US launch.

Is that... is that serious? Are they seriously going to charge us nearly $150 more for the 3G model than the US is paying?

A useless thing just got even more useless.

Well that's not so bad, about 2 and half months after Japan. It's good to see that the time difference between the different region launch window is narrowing.

The pricing difference is to be expect, and so will be the expected bitching, but there is no law against anyone importing at a cheaper price so there is always that choice.

Indeed, unlike the 3DS, there's no penalty for importing the console. Personally though, I'll be waiting for the Aussie release since I'll probably end up buying the 3G version. It's a little pricey, but a U.S one wouldn't exactly be much use.

I was just reading the hands on with the Vita that Sony published on their website yesterday, and thought that the GPS section was particularly interesting:

Playstation Blog recently put up this video on how the Vita came about from the views of the software developers. As if you need any more reason to get yourself a Vita.

It totally is the PSP 2. PSP was PS2 on a handheld, Vita is PS3 on a handheld.

I'm still not convinced there is a market for ports/full blown AV games on handhelds.

I think there's a market, as long as you keep your audience in mind, and modify the games a little to suit the portability of the console. Having the ability to save often, in order to accomodate short bursts of play is essential. Having the option of putting the handheld into sleep mode is also handy, since you can pause and resume a game at any time, even if you haven't saved. As long as you have these things, as well as a healthy variety of games, there will be a market.

The majority of my favourite PSP & DS games are ones that offer a similar experience to the games that I enjoy on my consoles. This includes having the familiar dedicated gaming buttons on the handheld. Being able to take that kind of quality wherever you go is great, and will always hold my attention much more than any mobile phone game.
