I REALLY want to know the answer to this, because I cancelled all of my pre-orders because I was told that everything would be available on PSN, and I prefer having all of my games on the card (not to mention the supposed discount). I didn't get early release. So are you guys saying there are NO Vita games available for download right now!?!

I SO hope this is true! I really want to know for sure, because if it's definite I want to cancel all of my pre-orders and put EVERYTHING on memory card. Were ALL games available for download at launch in Japan??

The main reason I'm worried is because this isn't the case with some psp games and near ALL ps3 games - you have to wait a while for the downloads to become available.

IMHO, The 30fps standard is the worst thing to ever happen to consoles. Every generation, I get excited that FINALLY maybe 60 fps will become the standard, and every generation, they crank up the graphics to knock it down to 30- and make everything look like a flip-book. I must just have a different eye than most people, but 30fps, even when totally stable, just looks like crap to me. It looks like a slideshow. For me, it's really, really easy to actually make out individual frames at 30fps, and it completely takes me out of the experience. There are exceptions, though.

One exception is when motion blur is done VERY well, though there are only a tiny handful of games that have ever accomplished this.

The other exception for me, and this is a big one, is 30fps in 3d - though so far I can only speak to 3ds games, as I haven't tried a full 3d setup with glasses. The 3d effect adds so much depth on many of my 3ds games, that 30 fps is absolutely fine. Heck, even the Luigi's mansion trailer, which looks like it's running at 15-20fps, looks beautiful. But I guess it's a whole other subject how I'm one of the few people that actually loves the 3d on the 3ds (and no, I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, I normally hate Nintendo).

But 30fps on console/pc with no 3d, no matter the level of detail in the frikkin' grass or deepness of the textures, if it's at 30fps it looks terrible. Give me that silk.

I guess I was spoiled on pc's and keeping fairly up to date on the latest video cards.

I know I'm in the minority here, but give me 60fps and lower graphics/resolution over 30fps any day.

I really want to know if the major release titles, like uncharted, marvel vs capcom, etc., will be available for _download_ at launch. I'm someone who far prefers having everything installed on the system, rather than fumbling through cumbersome to carry around, easy to lose (for me at least), easy to damage game cards. Not to mention, there's all this talk about downloadable versions being cheaper.

I'm none too happy about having to spring for the so-overpriced-I-thought-it-must-be-April-1st 32GB memory card, but I will bite the bullet and do that at some point if I can have major releases on release day. I don't think Sony has made a comment on this, but can someone with knowledge of the Japanese launch let us know if any/which titles are available for download as of now?
