No LBP Vita or Sound Shapes in sight, but still, there's more interesting games than I have money to buy (Escape Plan, Uncharted and Gravity Rush are three games on my must-buy list but I also want Blazblue, Luminees and Rayman) so I can't complain.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma on a handheld? Not bad.
Ninja Gaiden DS was good, but it doesn't compare to the console games.

U.S Prices for Memory Cards are confirmed. Not too expensive for the cheapest option so thats something, but for Sony to push DD with his model and then ship a portable with no internal storage to download these DD games is an assinine move.
4GB - $19.99
8GB - $39.99
16 GB - $59.99
32 GB - $99.99- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Dec 22, 2011 5:14 pm GMT
Rayman Origins, Uncharted, and Escape Plan are mine.
Will wait for Gravity Rush. I might also get the PS plus membership to get discounts on Vita games.

32 GB - $99.99I'm probably going to pick up the 32 GB memory card out of the gate just because I have a lot of PSP games (on a 32 GB card).
Moving on, going through the thread, I realize this thread is sadly lacking in Escape Plan info.
Escape Plan is a puzzler from the makers of Fat Princess, and it continues that game's tradition of gory death and cartoon characters, though everything else is different. Its a touchscreen based puzzler in which two guys (seen in picture below) try to escape a trap filled lab. When they mess up, they die in spectacular fashion (the whole thing is more than a little reminiscent of Limbo).

Yes, they are overpriced, but the entry fee to start playng and saving your games is $20 which puts the Vita cost at $270. Still lower than the $300-$350 i was expecting with all the amazing tech in there.

Not to mention microsd cards were used for external memory with PSP games. Speaking of that, I wonder if 3rd party cards can be used for the Vita.

Im guessing you havent seen my b***ing and moaning about these vita memory cards in practicallly every Vita thread in GGD in the last few weeks.
I agree, the prices are ridiculous.... but compared to the ones that leaked earlier this year, the cheapest one is actually not that bad.We wont see any third party SD cards for a while. I would say give it a year or two.

Glad you like the news!
As for me, since I have a ton of console games to look forward to in early 2012, I may have to pass on the Vita. However, I'm hoping that Gamestop or other retail stores will allow people to preview the system. I got that chance before the Nintendo 3DS came out.- Please wait.
