There's no manual in the Uncharted game box, and I don't think there's one in Wipeout either. I know all the games have virtual manuals on the card/with the download, so hard copies might be far and few between in retail cases.

A guy on shmups.org hooked me up - I spent about $80 shipped for it (complete with big box and sealed bonus DVD). Quite the bargain, and worth every penny as it is probably my fave DS game :)

Thanks. Man, those cards are tiny!

I'm going to definitely be buying Wipeout 2048, and possibly MvC3. Depends on how much money I can scrape up.

Since this will primarily be a gaming device I see no reason to buy anything but the 4gb card to go with it. so with Wipeout, the Vita, and that, it'll amount to 300.

PSN-exclusive games?

Some people (like myself) don't really buy a whole lot of console digital-only games. I've had a PS3 for a year and a half and I own no download games that I wasn't given for free.

Yeah basically this. I love digital downloads on PC, but for consoles I've never really liked them. Mainly because consoles are replaced down the line, while PCs still run games from the 90s just fine with only minor work.

While I understand the basic principle guiding that line of thought (and I buy physical copies wherever possible) the idea that you would miss out on a good game just because "I don't buy digital titles" really defines the line between "collector" and "gamer" for me.

PSV is backwards compatible with PSP downloadable titles sooo....

I bought the big card because it offers the most bang for the buck and I fully expect to be able to eventually rip PS1/2/P games to this thing once the homebrew community has some time with it. I'll want the storage space for those, and potentially for some media as well.
