According to USPS tracking, my Vita should arrive tomorrow. Pretty good considering that I was very suspicious of that site.

Best Buy removed preorders from their B2G1F deal (though they still show up on the page), which saved me some money considering I was debating getting even more launch titles because of the sale.
While I like Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom and I'm impressed that they got it on there, I'm not exactly sure why I bought it on Vita... the control scheme is not the easiest to translate to a portable, especially when you consider the money I spent on arcade sticks for my console. I would think the same goes for BlazBlue and other fighters...
I am impressed with the hardware, though the only two games I've opened so far, Wipeout and UMvC, don't use any of the new control schemes or the dual stick. I still think the software is clunky. And I can't imagine the disappointment if someone bought this without a memory card. The one other gripe I have is the game card slot... that seems like something that will break off eventually, and while that kind of slot is fine for things like memory cards that will be replaced sparingly, I don't think it's a great idea for something that is used frequently.

SNIP... I haven't played Escape Plan, Lumines, or Wipeout enough to really form any kind of opinion, but I love Tales from Space. One of the best platformers I've played in a long time, and I'd have happily paid more than $7.99 for it. Highly recommended to anyone else that picked up a Vita.

Did you track it? My tracking number shows expected delivery tomorrow.

Did not play the original (or Super Meat Boy). IGN said that the newer one is faster paced though, but sorry, I can't compare the two.

Work address, home Zip. I can't be the first person in history to make that typo, can I? Unfortunate once they had that wrong address, it went and populated all my orders. Anyway, it's a real cluster-fuck and will put me way behind as all my stuff travels coast-to-coast, gets marked "Undeliverable" and gets sent back and refunded. I think I'd just like to buy a Wifi from Amazon now, but can't until I'm sure the Butt Plug one doesn't actually find its way to my work. It's pretty depressing, actually.

My butt plug is being shipped to GA, so I won't be able to get it until early March when my brother comes to visit. So in the meantime, I just got a 3G Launch Bundle in a beat up box from Amazon Warehouse Deals for (drumroll) $179.99 and it'll be here Monday!

I think I'm going to pick a Vita up tomorrow. I'm probably getting Uncharted and Ninja Gaiden but am undecided on a third game. Suggestions anyone? I'm sort of leaning towards Marvel vs. Capcom as I do enjoy fighters from time to time but not completely sure.

Has anybody tried putting on the Sony branded screen protector? If so, does it look good when put on? Is it easy to get on without bubbles?

Decker is still Vitaless. 
But on a positive front, all my other misaddressed items from Butt Plug (Uncharted, Ultimate MvC3, Travel pouch) arrived today at work with the Zip corrected.
to the U.S. Postal Service! Now watch them screw up the Vita...

USPS says my Vita is out for delivery. Hurry up, postman!
Edit: It has arrived! How much lube should I use to put it up my butt?

Are you into sports games or soccer at all? If so, FIFA is really good. If not, as already mentioned, Lumines is a great puzzle game.

So can someone here who knows tell me how this version of Lumines differs significantly from the five other versions I currently own?

The screen on this is gorgeous. I loaded Netflix onto it and it looks great. I never understood people who watched movies on their cell phones, but I could imagine watching TV shows on this.
Maybe I'm thick, but how do I manage the data on the memory card?
