Am I the only one who's not very interested in this? I was all PSP over DS at first back in the day but I think the DS ended up being the better handheld and personally the 3DS looks better than this to me. None of the games that were announced really interested me or really impress me either. Idk, I guess I will see as more things are announced.
 
Has there been any news on what might be bundled with the PS Vita out of the box? (ie like the psp value pack with the head phones, case, etc.)
---EDIT---
Just found this on Kotaku right after I posted this:
http://kotaku.com/5840955/say-welcome-to-the-ps-vitas-welcome-pack

But still wondering if there is news on mainly any extra hardware that will be packed with the Vita, I think I may have heard somewhere that AR cards might come with the system?

I would say I'm in the same boat as you. It's not that I am not interested but I'm a little unsure on whether or not this is for me. I had fun fooling around with the PSP homebrew stuff but I can't really justify buying a vita for that. If the games are amazing then I will buy one down the line but I don't think I'll be there at launch. That isn't to say that i haven't enjoyed spending time reading about it though.

I'm actually really excited for the Vita, I actually pre-ordered Uncharted: Golden Abyss last weekend, when I have the money I'll be pre-ordering the Vita, I don't want to get the bundle because I'm not all that excited about Little Deviants, but I'm going to need a memory card (thought 4GB is too small), the most attractive thing for me is the case that comes with it.

Anyway really excited about this, Golden Abyss looks great, and I really can't wait to hear more information on the Assassin's Creed and Bioshock games what were announced for it.

HMV.com.hk will open Vita pre-orders later today (11 am Hong Kong time). They will be selling a value pack which includes Uncharted and a 4GB Memory Stick. And, as far as I know, the Asian version of Uncharted includes an English language option.

Don't know what the shipping rates are like, but I'll probably be ordering one. Pricing should be more reasonable than Play-Asia.

Wasn't able to get in on the HMV value pack deal but I've got my Japanese Vita preordered, along with a 4GB memory stick. I plan on getting Uncharted and Katamari from the PS Store. Can't wait, only about 3 weeks left till launch. Will do a write-up and probably some video impressions when I get it.

I've got a $15 coupon for Play-Asia that came via email this morning if you want it. You probably have the same though of you've used them in the past.

I ended up getting one through a guy that reserved a bunch of units on Amazon Japan, thanks though. Cost me $454 shipped, still about $100 less than Play-Asia.
 
Getting mine of amazon. Had it pre ordered since June (Only paying $100 flat, not tax or shipping + gift cards and promotions). No games or memory cards just yet. I'll be waiting for Unit 13 to come out.

Not that I planned on using it, but the Vita browser is garbage. I was watching a stream and it couldn't even render YouTube correctly - no Flash or HTML5 support. I was hoping it'd at least be a step up from PS3, but no.

Why can't Sony just use a decent open source solution, rather than hacking together a proprietary alternative that functions like it's from ten years ago.

PS Vita just arrived :D Haven't spent much time with it yet, just updated firmware and it took less than a minute to install - much faster than PS3. And I just booted up Uncharted, which looks gorgeous on the OLED screen. It's also noticeably lighter than the 3DS.

I dont undersants why everyone so hung up on these Memory cards, I dont plan on makeing this a media powerhouse, my phone alreadly makes a way better mp3 player. Also with netflix support coming I dont think I be loading any movies on it. All that leaves is game saves( I sure they add cloud support later on)and DLC and looking at the size of my XBl games I dont think I use more then 4gb on everything.

Is that PS Logo always orange or does it change on certain status (messages, battery level, standby ect)?
And is that version of Uncharted in English?
