There is also a 64 GB VIta Memory card coming out

Japan get's all the cool gaming stuff.

Seems like a cool thing if you want to play psv games and aren't the type who brings portable consoles with you.

I think it is due to them not getting the PS4 until February.

I find the PS Vita TV very interesting as I much rather play a game infront of the TV instead of a small handheld device. And there are a few PSP/Vita games I'm interested in like Valkyria Chronicles 2, Gravity Rush and Shinobido 2.

Unfortunately, I don't see Gravity Rush or Shinobido 2 on the http://www.jp.playstation.com/psvitatv/game/psvitalist/, so I suppose they are not working because I guess(?) they use the touchscreen?

I would buy it instantly if it could play UMD format.. Still gotta figure out if my ac adapter is faulty or if it is the power in port on the psp itself.

So its like a ps2 then?

Ah, yes. Kinda svcky how so many UMD games are not available on PSN. Not much of a surprise though, seeing a ton of PS1/PS2 games are missing from PSN as well.
