That makes sense, but can't really compare those cases. You should also look who the publisher is.

I didn't buy Smart As because is overpriced by SONY (they could easily drop the price and nothing changes for them).

But AKSYS is a small company with a much narrower audience and need to charge those prices. They take real risks with every title they localize and we have to support them in order to keep getting unique Japanese games. Spike-Chunsoft isn't exactly big either. Also, I don't think that games with lots of text like Virtue's Last Reward are so easy to localize...

For $34.99, I think is worth it. Maybe not in relation to its production values, but I enjoyed this more than Golden Abyss.

When you're looking at the price, you must also consider the fact that youll be playing  at the game around 40h.

So if a very excellent game like Zero Escape doesnt worth  the asking price ( and m sure you can find it for 30 with all the promo), a 8-9h basic good game with less content doesnt worth more.

If game like One Piece PW 2 arent coming to vita for us , its for the same reasons which make you think Zero Ecape doesnt worth his price.

Show them that they're wrong about Vita owners to change things ;)

I don't understand....I thought VLR would be a very cheap (relatively) game to make? I have yet to play it so maybe I have the wrong impression of the game

hey just want to say wow on the god of war beta, so good, hope vita gets a god of war game as chains of Olympus will always be my top psp game.

For anyone interested, New Little Kings Story (excellent game btw! I've pumped a lot of hours into it) has been reduced at Shop To

£21.85 is a good price, most places are trying to charge £40 now as it's a less common Vita title as it had a small production run and is digital only in the US.

So let me get this straight. I genre not popular outside JPN, a game from small publishers, a game with no english translation in EU, a game that had no advertisement in a culture that isn't hyped about that style of game. What the hell are their expectations? I'm sure selling even 50k including vita, DDL and 3DS would be about my expectations. Plus I never seen a physical version for vita in Canada to date, but I see 3ds ones, and lets face it, this early on 3ds, that ain't grabbing attention. I think sometimes these devs have some serious mental issues

SHUT UP MIKEROX.

I literally just ordered this off Shopto 10 minutes ago and was coming here to post about the deal.  Lol :D

Haha it was you I had in mind when I saw it. How come the games I buy drop in price? But the ones I wait to drop in price never do!?

Still waiting for Unit 13 to drop, I picked NFS over Assassin's Creed etc. haha It's like they know!

Ahaha, sorry to hear that man.  

Yeah, Assassin's Creed has held it's value surprisingly well.  Still ~ £30 everywhere I look.  Haven't been following Unit 13 this year but it's pretty pricey at the minute!

Gonna pick up NFS after Christmas I think.  Hoping it's gonna be around £20 by then.  So I can give you some autologs to be chasing after :D

Thanks for the heads up anyway.  Really looking forward to playing NLKS now :)

Oooooh. The Flying Hamster HD is released on the EU PSN on Wednesday.

It's a HD port of the awesome PS Mini title with added online leaderboards, trophies, extra control schemes. I utterly loved the Mini, can't wait to see how it looks in Vita's native resolution. The game was gorgeous anyway. For those who haven't played it, it's a very big nod towards Parodius with some outrageous enemies, awesome catchy music and surprisingly challenging levels.

Vita is getting so much awesomeness right now they need to slow down!!! Stranger's Wrath and a few other titles hit on the same day too! My poor 16gb Memory card may require upgrading!

Here's a trailer:
