I hope that Best Buy will match Target and Game Stop on B2G1.

My hit list thus far on launch, in order of priority:
UMvC3
BlazBlue
Touch My Katamari
Uncharted
Rayman Origins
WipeOut
ModNation
Lumines

I was at Target last night and the only thing I found was two display boxes for the system and they were buried away next to the PSP ones. I didn't see any games.

Apparently it's an iOS port, a $6.99 game on the App Store that they repackaged for $40 for Vita. This kind of stuff is what kills the industry.

I picked up Rayman Origins and it is great. It's such a good platformer. I'd highly recommend it.

Me thinks licensing fees and distribution costs are to blame for the price increase.

Somehow I doubt it cost more than the 30% chunk Apple takes on apps.

Went to Target - they refuse to sell the games until the system comes out.

Went to Best Buy - they refuse to match Target's B2G1 because it's not technically a price match.

Went to Toys R Us - they had Uncharted for $40, but they had no accessories to go with the $20 gift card promo and the cheapest other games they had were $30.

Went to Wal-Mart - they would price match the B2G1, but the only games they had available were UMvC3, Uncharted, Lumines and that Dungeon thingie.

None of them even had BlazBlue in stock. Hell, most of them didn't even have the PS3/360 versions in.

So, I ordered UMvC3, BlazBlue and Rayman Origins from Amazon's B2G1. Le sigh. A bunch of driving around for a whole lot of nothing.
