I have tried connecting my Vita to Skype and have not been able to. According to this article it was supposed to be available at launch (2/22/12). Wassup?

I think that the vita will need alot of rpg games. Elder Scrolls 5 would be amazing and if the grafics are all what they are hyped up to be than this system should have no problem running it. RPG’s are pretty much all i play and if they make them for Vita i am going to be a definate buyer.

So here’s what I’m getting: The reason that the discounts on digital games are somewhat skimpy (probably reflecting merely the cost of packaging alone) and that the proprietary memory cards are so darned expensive are most likely to offset the advantage of digital distribution so that Sony can keep its retail partners happy and friendly?

“PSB: With that in mind, how will pricing react to the customer expectation that digital versions should be cheaper than physical copies?

AH: We are aiming to recognize that expectation and have a lower price point for downloadable versions of games; we will need to evaluate exactly what difference that will be.

We have fantastic relationships with retail partners who have a large stake in the success of PlayStation Vita and we want that to continue, but we recognize the need to have a lower price point for digital games taking into account that you don’t have packaging costs and other extra considerations associated with physical copies.”

What the… ARE YOU FRIGGIN’ KIDDING ME?!?!? It should have been ten dollars less than retail price! Not at three, four or five dollars for God’s sake. Don’t let this up to the publishers so that way, they are the ones who will decide the pricing point for digital goodies. YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE TO MAKE THAT DECISION! But oh well, since after all, IT IS YOU SONY… “Shrugs”…

Can we have the ability to gift PSN games? You know, buy a game for a friend via PSN instead of sending them a PSN card because that takes forever.

@22
Sorry for the double post.
Any questions you have can be answered in the FAQ on the Vita in the blog. Search for it for any future questions and you can ask and get questions answered there.

1.is there or will there be an oovoo application for the psvita? Not at launch, maybe in the future
2.do i have to buy the ps vita memory card or can i use a micro sd card? PS Vita specific only
3.is the 3G card diferent from a phone 3G card? It uses a Sim card.(so in essence no)
4.what 2 or 3 games should i buy in launch day?Depends on your taste( Racing games have Wipeout 2048 and Motorstorm RC, Action games have Ninja Gaiden, Uncharted, and Rayman, Quirky games have Tales from Space, Escape Plan, and SuperStarDust, Sports has Fifa and Hot Shots Golf.) The choice is yours. You have Unit 13 and Gravity Rush coming got soon after launch that are AMAZING.
5.how much memory does a game card (for example uncharted) take? Varies per game. Uncharted is 80mb for save from game card
6.can i put videos,music,pictures like in the psp? Yes via content manager on pc or ps3
7.how does the 3G work? Just like a cell phone. Once you activate it you have access to it. It is a month to month plan and if you go over they charge you another 14.99 for another 250mb.

@32, been saying it since ps3 launched, ps2 was popular because it has a slew of exclusive rpg’s and great third party support. Somewhere sony lost some of that, Sony’s rpg’s are non existent except cross platform rpg’s. RPG’s are more popular then ever with Skyrim selling better then every game except call of duty last year. Sony also needs a big third party exclusive.

Here is a question I have been mauling around for a while and so far I haven’t seen an answer to.

About games that are only released in Japan though PSN, will those games be available to NA or EU gamers though PSN though some import section on the PSN Store, or will the only way for us to play Japanese only games on PSN by making a separate Japanese PSN account?

I ask this because there still hasn’t been any word on localization of FF Type O and I really want to see that game over state side, lol. If not, then I was hoping to play it on the Vita, if possible that is.
