Ordered this game. My little bro plays Rugby for Texas A&M (club team) and has gotten me watching videos on Youtube. Most people like the game and if it is good, I'm going to order the 360 version (cheaper and has NTSC version with patches included).

They just need to lower the price by $50 or at the very least slash the ridiculous prices of the memory cards.

[*]Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD 86 - dont even know what this is (old xbox exlcusive?)

I'm waiting for this one to go on sale or become free with PS+.

[Twigg4075]

I thought it had been on sale before? I didn't know it was playable on Vita though.

[Twigg4075]

Ok,with the impending release of GoW Ascension it made me realize they need a GoW game for the Vita. They also need to announce an inFamous game.

So far they've had Uncharted, LBP and Killzone on the way. Let's get these other big franchises on this handheld Sony.

When the PlayStation Home Arcade app hits the Vita today it won't drop players into open-world PlayStation Network social space of Home, but it will let them play some of the arcade games found in that virtual world.

The free app will initially give gamers access to nearly a half dozen retro and original arcade games including the likes of Asteroids, Time Pilot and Scribble Shooter. Two of the ten games, Icebreaker and Wipeout 2D, will be free and Scribble Shooter will have a free demo. The rest of the titles will sell for $1.49 each and once purchased will be playable on both the Vita and in PlayStation Home on the PS3.

Here's the full list of games: Icebreaker, WipeOut 2D, Scribble Shooter, Frogger, Time Pilot, Asteroids, Centipede, Astrosmash Gen2, Shark! Shark! Gen2 and Mad Blocker.

A less robust version of the app hit Europe late last year.

Don Mesa, director of product planning and platform software innovation, said the games will be fairly straight forward emulations that can be played in full-screen mode.

He said that the arcade is just one of many things that his group is working on for the Vita.

"We've been kind of working on a lot of things," he said. "With Vita we look at ourselves as an emerging platform. The Vita is a very versatile."

The new app will also test out the Vita's ability to handle what are essentially smartphone-like micro-transactions, Mesa said.

"There are so many things we can be doing and will be doing," Mesa said. "All of these great things are happening."

So I'm watching the Vita stream right now. I don't know Japanese, but from what I can see on the screen and following Twitter, there is going to be a Vita price drop. Not real sure what it'll be in here, but I'd imagine a $50 drop.

Now some shit about Phantasy Star 2 Online?

EDIT: Here's the stream link...

Same.

Looks like they're going to release Phantasy Star Online 2 and some game called Toukiden (fighting giant monsters? I'm in) in bundles with the Vita.

Also, they're talking to one of the guys behind Soul Sacrifice.
