Jan We’re at the halfway point of what is (for most of us) a long holiday weekend. Early tomorrow, I’ll be on a jet to Chicago for one of five PlayStation Vita meet-ups to take place this week. We’ve never done social events in Atlanta, Chicago, or Miami, so I’m quite looking forward to meeting new PlayStation fans – even if it means I’m going to have to buy some gloves.
If you can make it to one of the events, be sure to RSVP here so we know much food to bring!

Jeff is there a reason why dungeon hunter alliance is $39.99 on vita but $12.99 on ps3. why would you guys have us pay $28 more just cause its on the vita. also i think its stupid you guys are charging $10 more to get Uncharted on vita. you guys want your sales for vita to be good yet your charging almost ps3 game prices.

Has the price been announced for Dungeon Hunter Alliance? I hadn’t seen it. It’s an Ubisoft published game; you can make your opinion heard on their forums: http://forums.ubi.com/forum.php

Ok, I only clicked on the first one, Skyrim but had to stop and say thank you. That was hilarious. And completely accurate. I can vouch for that, having now played Skyrim for about 360 plus hours. I’ve been in that shop in Whiterun so many times & I’ve been wanting to punch Belethor in the face for about 355 of those hours.
Have fun @ your meetups. I probably won’t attend any here in Los Angeles since I’ll be getting my pre-ordered Vita in about a month anyway.

Yeah, Belethor’s lines were getting thrown about during my family’s christmas present exchange. “Some may call this junk…”

The 21 Things about the Vita article was pretty informative. Can’t wait to get my hands on one of those on Wednesday, and I’m looking forward to meeting Sid too!
