yes I saw that, I am actually half tempted to buy the PS3 re-release coming out in japan for TITS 2, but I doubt I will. Keep in mind whatever system I dont get now, I will probably get the other at tax time, I kind of want to get the more expensive system out of the way now. Also keep in mind, I barely touched my original DS, and I spent most of my time on my PSP, its just more traditional and I know a Vita would be seeing more action, still want a 3DS though. Right now Persona 4 takes presidence over Tales of the Abyss, P4 is my main squeeze. Both the systems are lacking tremendously in my eyes (atleast here in america), but both have a few things out now and a few things up and coming that I am intersted in.

Oh yeah, forgot about FF10 HD, well that settles it then.

Case and Box.



Its alive, and its sexy as hell!



Was disappointed with this. It didnt even come with a game case or anything, that other little slot was where the 4 gig stick was before I put it in the Vita. No instruction manual for the game, no nothing. They almost may as well have just gave me a voucher to download the game off PSN, anyway im not keeping it.

So what are some good apps? I got the Gravity Rush demo but havent played it yet. The screen is great, just as I remembered it when I played the demo last fall in the mall just it wasnt hooked into a display thing and all the input slots are exposed. Loving the white version, I think it looks better than the black.

As far as the limited edition goes, the PS Vita being white is about as limited as this package really is. There is nothing to it really, Vita, USB cord, wall charger adapter, 4GB memory card, game with no case and thats it. But what can you expect really? They are throwing a game and memory card for the price of a stand alone Vita without those 2 items that sits right next to this bundle on the shelf, still worth it.

Grats on the vita AG. You're gonna love it. Im sure you are already. That white looks great. I remember when I first moved to Japan and got the white PSP when it wasnt out in the U.S yet. I was hyped on it.

As for apps you gotta get youtube. The screen looks so impressive playing HD video's off it. Just saw some of the Halo 4 reviews on it and was like wow, I should be watching more youtube on this thing. Because of the resolution and screen size it looks better then my iPad 2 sometimes!
Then theirs Nico Nico.. if you wanna perv out on some Japanese girls doing live public video chats then.. ya do that. Kinda suspect but eh, sometimes ill tune into someone and mess with them as ill understand their japanese and then reply in broken english for fun. Went into some room with a Metal Gear Solid fan discussion the other day. That kinda stuff. Some people play their instruments. Guitars, DJ's. Pretty cool. Alot of people broadcast their screens while they play games.

Just left GameStop, I went ahead and traded in AC3 for Lumines and got Yakuza 3 for $10 in decent shape used. Also the manager at gamestop switched out the banged up original case for this red one and we both agreed it complimented the game packaging well, im happy with it.

Pretty Vita. I prefer black but that thing is nice. For soem reason with the grey nubs reminds me of DC. My god I fucking love my Vita and know you will to. IMO the best handheld of the two

I didn't know Yakuza 3 was released on HD-DVD..

^Good man. Great!

Folklore looks pretty cool.

They always have great art on the cover

Sorry boys, but I pre-ordered Black Ops 2: Hardened Edition for PS3. I love zombies, and the new zombies is gonna be awesome. Also, launch day is my birthday! I've no idea what comes in the Hardened box, but I thought "Fuck it, it's my birthday". It's been a long time since I had a 'Special Edition' in a tin box and all that. I think the last one was Halo Reach. Came with a bunch of useless stuff. I imagine this one will, too. Useless, but cool!
