I'm on the case! :p

Though damn, most places are either sold our or charging more for it than it cost at launch! (£37 on Zavvi, £33 on Play)

Grainger is the cheapest, it's £24.99 new or £21.99 pre owned there (there is no online pass or anything so if you're not bothered about someone having played through it before you, that's as close as you can get at the moment.

35k Long Live the Vita!

But it was meant to drop to 15k this week now the excitement of new Vita had died down! :p

I actually meant 35k posts not long now and Vita weekly numbers will be lower than our post count :D

But yeah I'm really pleased by this weeks Vita numbers btw. it looks like a decent bump in both NA and EU. Here's just hoping that vgchartz are right about it.

ooops :p I thought Vita had received a boost in the land of the rising sun for a minute.

Yeah, it's inflated everywhere at the moment.  Dunno why.  Should've just bought it for £22 when amazon were doing it before launch.

Think I'll wait now till closer to Christmas.  I'm getting Tearaway as the Vita game for my birthday and Killzone as the Vita game for Christmas, so I've got a while for it to drop a little further.

ShopTo have added some provisional release dates for some Japanese ports for EU.

Demon Gaze - 21st February 2014
Danganronpa - 21st February 2014
YS Memories of Celceta - 28th February 2014
Hyper Dimension Neptunia PP - 28th March 2014

Normally if they add a release date, it's getting a physical release, so that's some good news for those of us in Vita's biggest market with the fewest physical releases :p

I see November is looking like a pretty big month for releases here too:

Invizimals - 15th November
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes - 15th November
Tearaway - 22nd November
Injustice - 29th November
Putty Squad - 29th November

No release for Spiderman yet either, hopefuly that'll be confirmed for an EU release. Though I hope there'll be some impressions of how good the port it.

Look like placeholders to me.  That'd be rubbish too; they need to space them out a bit more (especially since all 4 are courtesy of NISA).

I'm planning on buying 3 of the games on that list and they all release within a week of each other.  No way I'd be able to afford that!

They don't normally put release dates on unless they've been given them. Football Manager 2014, Dragon Ball Z and Final Fantasy X/X2 are still TBA. So they could actually be the official dates.

It might make sense for them with distribution as they can ship them all out together.

Btw, that PocketStation thing is meant to be unveiled tomorrow.

Something that could be awesome, as I always liked the idea of taking your game on the go with you. What if (yeah, big if, but nice to dream) the PocketStation thing is that, PS4 games will feature Vita games that you can transfer from the PS4 to Vita, to carry on doing game related things on the move, but they're far better than the really limited stuff that was on the VMU and original pocketstation.

As some gaffers mentioned, PSV is due to go from 2.61 to 3.00 with a new update. Are they going to turn Vita into the modern Pocket Station? It's meant to be the ultimate companion for it. If they actually get decent games for it which you transfer from the PS4 version, that'd be a pretty big incentive for PS4 owners to grab a Vita.

It might also explain what Bend etc have been doing (could have been developing the "portable companion" games for PS4 titles) and why there are no Western first party titles at all confirmed for the Vita.
