If they're listing BioShock Vita for pre-order then I really wouldn't take their inclusion of Ninja Gaiden on the list to indicate it's a launch window title.

I'm expecting game prices to vary from £25 to £35 online.


http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/29/ninja-gaiden-sigma-comes-to-vita-in-japan-this-february/

well it's coming to Japan in february so I don't think western release will be far too off

and important things to note of the game

"he "plus" in Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is for a new mission mode called The Way of the Ninja. Missions will have more varied gameplay and it sounds like one of the levels is all about projectiles.

 

Another addition is hero mode, which is designed for newcomers to play so they can enjoy the game’s story. Ryu automatically guard against attacks in this mode. Team Ninja also made use of Vita’s rear touch panel which you can use to power up ninpo. Players can also aim by tilting the system."

Looks like my theory about the memory cards prices were wrong...

"The previously provided PlayStation Vita memory card prices weren’t entirely accurate, turns out.

Sony’s given an update, saying the lower-end 4GB and 8GB cards will, instead of $29.99 and $44.99, hit retail for $24.99 and $39.99. So a fiver cheaper each than initially expected.

The 16GB will still be $69.99 though, and the 32GB $119.99."

UK Preorders Begin, Best Deal Is £199.99

PS Vita preorders have gone live across retaillers such as Play.com, Amazon and Zavvi. Most stores are selling Sony's handheld at £229.99 (Wi-Fi only model) and £279.99 (Wi-Fi and 3G model).

However, NowGamer has searched the internet for the best PS Vita deals and has found that Zavvi comes out on top with £199.99 (Wi-Fi only model), and £244.99 (Wi-Fi and 3G model).

You can preorder the PS Vita Wi-Fi only model at Zavvi here.

Or the PS Vita Wi-Fi and 3G only model here.

Zavvi is also taking preorders on PS Vita games, such as Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Little Deviants and surprisingly, Bioshock Vita. All of these games are preordered at £34.95.

I think this also confirms that Ninja Gaiden Sigma PSV is a launch line up game..at least launch window

and here is a VERY good read addressing many questions us consumers may have about the psv..memory cards, etc etc

"
Here's a bit of what Sony Computer Entertainment Senior VP Yoshio Matsumoto, Division 2 Software Development Head Muneki Shimada, and Product Division Chief Hiromi Wakai had to say about the system's multimedia capabilities.

Flash Support

Adobe has announced that it won't be continuing further development on its Mobile Flash Player. What does this mean for Flash support on Vita? Shimada said that they're continuing negotiations with Adobe and have not given up.

Video Support

Vita will support 720p video. It won't support 1080p, but Shimada stressed that this is just at present. It's possible that future updates could bring updated functionality, said Shimada. However, he noted that the Vita display only supports 544 pixels vertical resolution, so anything above that will be scaled down anyway, so 720p is a reasonable value.

Remote Play

This appears to be with regards to a future feature, but Shimada said that the system's Remote Play will upconvert video to higher resolution. They're able to do this because the Vita supports a higher spec wireless LAN compared to PSP (802.11n or g as opposed to PSP's b). He noted, however, that the video encoding for remote play is done on the PS3 end, so it all depends on what they can do on the PS3.

Wakai added when using Remote Play on the PS3's XMB or the Torne DVR player, you'll get the experience in high resolution.

Custom Soundtracks

When using the system's Media Player to play music, and you switch back to a game, the music playback can be kept playing in the background. While there are some limitations, the game's sound effects should be able to overlay directly over the custom sound. All this is done without the game doing anything special, and the feature should work with all games.

PSP Backwards Compatibility

PSP backwards compatibility is achieved through a combination of both software and hardware. There are some assist functions on the hardware, Shimada explained without sharing details.

The system has an extremely high level of backwards compatibility with PSP software, Shimada said, adding that with future firmware updates the compatibility can be made even better.

On Custom Memory Cards

Explained Shimada, The reason Sony didn't use general memory cards like SD Cards and instead opted for a custom memory card is because they wanted to make sure they could have something with an equal condition for everyone. Additionally, they were concerned with security.

Shimada also drew distinction about describing the cards as merely a device for saving games. They're "storage" for the Vita, and are used for patches, game data, download content and more.

No Mac Support Initially

Vita will not be recognized as a mass storage device on your computer. You'll need to use a separate utility device. PS3 already has this utility built in as of the latest firmware update. A PC utility will be released before the system's release date.

Wakai promised a Mac version of the utility in the not-so-distant feature. She noted that the it's easy make the utility compatible with a variety of devices, as the UI and actual management is done on the Vita's side. You can do data transfers without even looking at your PC or PS3."

Thanks for posting the new details! :D

Waiting for the Vita is getting perpetually slower as the Japan release gets nearer (even though I pre-ordered mine here in the United States for February 22nd, all the info is going to flood in just 14 days from now!).

One thing I am curious about is, if the Vita can live stream gameplay over the internet (Via Nico Nico app), then can it live stream gameplay to my PS3 (Via Remote play) to play Vita on my T.V.?

Yeah that's unfortunate, and since I already have 12GB of digital PSP games and will have even more when I rebuy my old games + would want space to buy some Vita games it's basically 32GB or nothing, and I just can't afford that right now.

Then don't sell your PSP?

Wipeout 2048 looks pretty cool, and the multitasking capabilities of the Vita are awesome... in fact, it's way better for multitasking than the PS3 :P it's so fast...

I wonder why most developers don't seem to take advantage of the true power of the Vita, you look at stuff like Uncharted: Golden Abyss or Gravity Daze/Rush, and the graphics look almost like a PS3 game... but other games just look like PSP or 3DS games. I guess it must be because these are launch titles and many developers just ported their PSP games to Vita, but as time goes by, more and more will develop with the PSVita in mind and take advantage of it... or that's what I hope.

Imagine if Square-Enix released FF Type-0 on the Vita but instead of being a port of the PSP version at a higher resolution, it was remade with better graphics, better textures, more effects, etc, and looked almost like a PS3 game :O.

High quality graphics aren't cheap to make, and a lot of the teams showing their games for Vita are small developers. Chances are they don't have an insanely big budget.

I guess so, but developers like Square enix should have the budget to make Lord of Apocalypse and the evil-pikmin-like game look almost like PS3 games instead of PSP ones :P that's the main reason why I think many may be just porting stuff from PSP to Vita... and hope that changes with time.

 

By the way, does anyone know if the Devil May Cry collection is coming to the Vita too?, I know MGS collection is, but I don't know about DMC.
