Mistype! Few publishers. But it's certainly not "all your PSP games".
Wouldn't that be laggy? Remote Play I always thought an amazing concept but was a lag filled, near unplayable experience.
Got a tip for us?

That programme hasn't been announced for outside Japan and very likely won't be. At the very least there is no guarantee of that.
Anyone else put down an online pre-order? I was going to order mine through GAME, they usually have a good track record of delivering on time, or in rare cases a day early.
I'm thinking of their WiFi Vita + 4GB memory card + Uncharted bundle, then adding in a 16GB memory card. With their pricing structure, it's the same as buying the Vita + Game + 16GB memory card individually, i.e. you get a free 4GB memory card
edit: Amazon UK had a better offer. If you pre-order you get a free 8GB memory card and a selected game for £15. Lumines would be my pick of the lot, then if I add in Uncharted that still works out less then GAME. You lose the pre-order gift that GAME offer though, but I can live without

User accounts are tied to memory sticks and systems though. So you can't use that 4gb card as you would a spare PSP memory card. Hopefully they address that!
Word of warning about Game. They take more preorders than stock so even if you preorder you'll need to get there early to pick it up (or have preordered online earlier).

I've pre-ordered though Amazon - I've had it down ever since the listing appeared, and crossed my fingers that they'd put together a decent bundle...which they have. I don't trust Game with any pre-orders any more, and their recent financial woes certainly won't convince me to go back.
I've got ordered:
Vita WiFi, Uncharted, Lumines, Wipeout, 16GB & 8GB card. I'll probably sell the 8GB card.
Yep, I settled on Amazon too. Pre-ordered a wifi Vita /8GB memory card, Lumines, and Uncharted. I really hope it comes on release date, the 22nd falls on one of my days off Probably will have to wait till past midday for delivery though...I was thinking about adding another game, but I'll see how it goes.
Ah didn't know that. I was thinking about adding another memory card to my Amazon bundle, but guess it won't be necessary. I might trade in my 8GB towards a 16GB then.

I've gone overboard and now my PS Vita day will consist of
PS Vita 3G
16gb mem card
Uncharted
Army Corps of Hell
Ridge Racer (was only 15)
Wipeout 2048
Lumines
Little Deviants
Rayman Origins
Ultimate Marvel v Capcom
BazBlue standard edition
PS Vita 3G
16gb mem card
Uncharted
Army Corps of Hell

Wipeout 2048
Lumines
Little Deviants
Rayman Origins

I 've preordered several consoles from them in store and never had a problem. I always end up going at the end of the day after work and they always have them set aside in the back stock room.

I had originally preordered with GAME and put down a £25 deposit. I got the preorder pack from which I've already redeemed the code. I've decided however to switch my preorder to Amazon as they have much better bundle deals and the fact that GAME doesn't even have bundle with the 3G model yet. I'll probably use the £25 deposit towards a game in store.
I've actually got preorder stuff from four different retailers.
Amazon:
3G Vita
8GB memory card
Virtua Tennis
Lumines.
Videogamesplus.ca ( in Canada ):
Modnation Racers
Hot Shots Golf
32GB memory card
Play-Asia:
Gravity Rush ( Asian version )
GAME in store:
Uncharted with £25 initial deposit and payment on top.
I'll pick one up in a year or two when the price has dropped and there are games out for it that I'm interested in. Nothing ever launches with some kind of medieval fantasy RPG or puzzle game to accompany it

It is launching with puzzle games. There is Lumines and Escape Plan. There is also a fantasy RPG in the form of Dungeon Alliance. Admittedly Dungeon Alliance is not that great but the other two should be. Warriors Lair which is another RPG is out in 2-3 months. That one looks really good. It's only a matter of time and I'm sure before the end of the year there will be more.
Dungeon Alliance is an ok game, but very very overpriced. On PSN (or should that be SEN now) its 8.99 for PS3. The exact same game as on the Vita and yet they want me to pay 39.99 for it on a vita cart? It's silly. It should have been a $20/20 game tops.
AAaaaand the US will be getting none of them.

SCEE, your move.
Ugh, predictable. SCEE will do the same. This is exactly why I'm keeping my launch PSP kicking around for when I do want to play some older titles - including PSone which doesn't work on Vita either.
^Are you sure about that...I've seen people remote playing PS1 games so I'm guessing PS1 games will be avail. on PSN/SEN or I might be wrong.
I'm seeing a lot of bitching on blogs about the UMD program not being offered in the U.S....is it really that important? I'm getting the vita for new games and the PSN/SEN gems so I care not.

I think it's more an annoyance that a useful sounding system isn't being offered worldwide. In the age of handheld consoles being disposable (thanks a lot, mobile phones) it's probably a good idea to be as welcoming as possible. Look at the frosty reception the 3DS had until they bent over backwards for gamers.
I've no doubt PS1 games will eventually be playable on Vita. It makes no sense to not offer them.
Infact I recon they'll go further and release cheap, downloadable PS2 games in the same way.
Wait, what?!
What about via Remote Play? The PSP handled it just fine, so surely the Vita can I've got Final Fantasy 7,8 & 9 on my PS3 which I was hoping to run through again.edit: youtube confirmed remote play should be fine
I've noticed videos of the Vita running PS3 games via remote play, I'm thinking CFW? That would be awesome, one of the best things about the original PSP was running CFW

Remote play works on the Vita with PS One games. They don't work directly on the Vita at the moment but the general consensus is that Sony will offer an update that will enable that in the future. I'm not sure if Sony themselves have actually confirmed this to be the case.

The problem is lag.
Sony is promising in future to offer a new firmware making more PS3 titles compatible (they did once say all ps3 games) and what this will do is allow you to scale down the image quality and resolution so that they will stream to the vita with less lag.
It's the same problem that affects iPad 2 mirroring to Apple TV's. There is often a lag or stuttering which ruins the whole point. The iPhone 4S when doing same is less stuttery, I assume because of the lower resolution being streamed to the device.
You guys beat me to it, but yes, direct play of PSone games currently doesn't work on the Vita - remote play will, but we all know that's a hassle and not exactly something you can do on the bus. So basically, I count it as not being able to play PSone games...
I almost hesitate to ask this but did anyone (in the US) happen to pre-order at Best Buy? I pre-ordered a month or so ago. It's for the First Edition Bundle which, admittedly, has a lot of cruft I'm not particularly interested in. (4GB mem card? Seriously? And I'm not particularly needy of the 3G model since I have a MiFi at my disposal.) However it does come out a week early...
I don't know about here but on the Official US Playstation forum there are a lot of people who pre-ordered the first edition bundle some from Best Buy.
Anyone find any info about battery life of both models ?
It would be interesting to see if the Cellular 3G/GPS has different battery life to the Wifi version.

And now it turns out that not all PSP/PSN games will run on the Vita.
This is most annoying. The start of the consoles life is exactly when you do need legacy support. When you have 1-2 new games and 12,000 old ones. I really hope they sort this out. Every modern console machine should support all its most recent predecessors games.

That is typical for an early adopter, most of us are used to it. If you don't like it then maybe wait a bit to get it once its more established. Being a early adopter isn't cheap and sometimes has its drawbacks.
As far as legacy support, I never have cared either way if it had it. I buy a new system for the new games. I still have my PSP I can fall back on. I would bet its a matter of time before all those PSP/PS2/PS1 games are compatible, there is too much money to lose via PSN purchases if they don't.
I did order this, I'll likely have it early next week. It's basically 3 days from shipping to my door. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VLJS-4
