Over the next week, Ubisoft will be profiling our upcoming portfolio of launch titles for the PlayStation Vita. All these titles will be available a week prior to launch, giving gamers the opportunity to build up their library prior to the launch of this highly anticipated PlayStation handheld or experience the games early if you are picking up the First Edition bundle on February 15th.

I'm gonna say their games will bomb first week....

This isn't unprecedented. I bought Kameo: Elements of Power and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz about a week before the 360 and Wii launched, respectively.

What the hell?

Maybe they're targeting all those people who will be buying the Vita First Edition Bundle that releases a week early?

Yeah, I had bought Rayman Raving Rabbids, Red Steel, and DragonBall Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 a week before Wii launched.

for anyone thinking this is a stupid idea -- playstation vita first edition bundle.    <--- "Receive your PS Vita one week before the official release date"

Genius. They'll dominate the market.

I'm pretty sure there were PS3 games on store shelves a week or so before the PS3 released.

Smart move. Pent up demand to for overpriced versions of iOS games could have reached dangerous levels, but this should hopefully head off any Dungeon Hunter related violence.
