There's still 26 days so I'd expect big advertising to start closer to release. Also IIRC move promotional spots in tv started after release date (in Poland at least)

BTW I was yesterday and cinema and they had Vita in Sony motion pictures trailer for resident evil movie :)

Im waiting the price here too, but we will probably end importing the PSV... I will not pay US$800 for the console and another(pobably) US$100 for the fucking cards. Srsly, i hate these fucking taxes... The price of PS Vita here will be DAMN TOO HIGH!

Yep... this is so annoying! At least I will try it on some store (Saraiva?) or I hope so. Where do you usually import from?

@MUGEN and Wagram
Very good to hear both answers. Hope the Vita sells like hotcakes. Especially hope that everyone looks past all the attempts many critics have been making to set the vita up for failure (i.e. blowing things out of proportion and being excessively/unfairly critical). Vita is probably the coolest, slickest, most feature-packed, and yet most reasonably priced device I've seen. Yet many critics still have ripped it apart. Not saying its a perfect device, but it has a crapton of positives and only select few negatives.

Moving on...that gravity rush live action trailer was sic

Well, i will wait and see the price in the gray market, i usually buy my stuff in Mercado Livre, but a friend of mine always import things from ebay, so im considering this too.

Sério, não vou pagar mais do que R$1500 pelo Vita aqui, é muito injusto! O 3DS uns 2 meses depois do lançamento era encontrado por uns R$ 900 no Mercado Livre, então vou ver o que acontece com o Vita também!

Urgh I know! Mercado Livre will probably be the best option, but I also like to import from BigBoyGames, they are great.

Acho que conseguiremos rapidinho o Vita por R$900,00 no ML, não vejo razão para que isso não aconteça. E os jogos, vais comprar um cartão ou pela PSN? Jogo na PSN Brasil deve ser lançado por uma fortuna, sorte que minha conta é americana.

Guys! I just spent almost 2 hours playing VITA at my local GameStop lol. Demos available were: Welcome Park, Uncharted, Little Deviants, FIFA Soccer, Virtua Tennis, Gravity Rush, ModNation Racers, WipeOut 2048 and Escape Plan.

My first choice was Uncharted. So, I played the whole DEMO, the visuals are truly amazing! but the demo was really short as if only covered the Burning Building area and nothing more.

Then, I played Gravity Rush. The art style is impressive and the controls are easy and well implemented. The Demo had a good amount of content but I wanted to try and see everything, so, I stopped.

Third, I launched Little Deviants. It's a really fun game but the back touch controls could take a bit getting used to, but I got the hang pretty quickly.

I played short sections of Virtua tennis, ModNation and WipeOut but then I had to leave and there were a few people wanting to play. I will probably return next week and play a bit more :) It's AWESOME

On MercadoLibre Venezuela the Vita is priced from 3000bs.. that's arround 500$ at 6bs per $ that's how I pay "grey" market dollar...above official currency...

A friend will travel on April-May And he will get me the Vita without paying taxes... so only 1500bs I'll save the half.. ^^

I am SOOO JELOUS! how is the screen? which games were the best looking of the bunch visual wise? how was Virtua Tennis controls?
