Atlus hasn't officially announced P2: EP yet, but it doesn't even come out in Japan until May... I think they will most likely, especially considering most of the translation work is already done (for the PSOne version).

Bad translation you mean, the EP translation is very very confusing.

i think it depends on the user. cause i still prefer psp

Regarding the PSP Vita - I'm actually not clued up on it at all tbh, but I want to be, as my PSP atm, provided I manage to unbrick it, is nearing the end of its lifetime, and at first glance, the Vita looks pretty cool.

Is it?

A couple questions to those who own one, please.

1. What format are games in? Physical, digital? Before it was released, I think I remember hearing the UMD format would be replaced. Has it been, and if so, with what? If it has, then I also read earlier in this thread that PSP games can still be played on the Vita - how does this work?

2. What's the screen like? In terms of quality, and especially reflectiveness against sun and stuff like that. Does it play just as well as in really light conditions as well as dark?

3. How would you rate the Vita aesthetics- and feel-wise? How does it feel to hold and play, is it heavy, light, or just right?

And finally, the ultimate question.

4. Will it be possible to homebrew it, and how soon, if so? Is there already homebrew for it? Do you see there being a homebrew possibility for it, or have Sony dealt a blow to the PS homebrew community when it comes to the Vita?

Those are a few questions I have. I'll probably think up more soon.

And yes, I'm aware I might seem a bit overly pedantic here, but heck, if I'm going to be pay £100 upwards for any gadget, I'm sure as heck gonna find out whether it's worth doing first.

i have played with a vita, a friend of mine lend me his for an hour or so, i must say it's too much of a monster for any one, touch+rumble+syaxis system is a bit of an overkill not to mention it's twice as big as a PSP and twice as heavy, the PSP is lovley since it's compatc and easy to carry in and out.

checking via google results seem bad this page for example points out it has sold lowly globally 620.000 units and in japan about 400.000 units, selling that low isnt positive when the 3DS sold 3.000.000 on it's first week, not to mention the PSP still outsells the vita, i doubt the vita will be supported for much longer and sony will be back to the PSP that or whidraw from the business of gaming.

Did PS3 kill the PS2? NO. I won't buy a Vita unless they make it free(who wouldn't?lol). Sony will continue to support it for probably about a year unless no one decides to buy the vita anymore or something. The reason for this is cos there's still MILLIONS of moneyless gamers(like me) who can't afford the vita. Or some people think that the vita is just an uninteresting tweaking of the PSP and would rather save up for something a bit more worthwile, e.g. a silver slim PS2.

The problem is that the PS3 eventually got support, like a few months after it launched it started picking up, but the VITA is nearly out for a year already and it hasnt picked up at all, not to mention it has a poor third party support and a so so first party support
