I bought the PS3 version without having played any of them before. I felt MGS3 and Peace Walker were masterpieces, i did not like MGS2. Therefore i won't be getting this, unless they sell MGS3 apart as a downloadable game.
About damn time, MGS3D was cancer. Why didn't the Vita get an enhanced visual port of MGS3D at 60FPS and shit gimmicks and the 3DS get basic ports with all 3 games at a solid framerate?
Ass-backwards, atleast this might be fun.

Oh good. Because June 12th didn't already have enough games I wanted. With Lollipop Chainsaw and Gravity Rush coming out the same day I'll have to pick this up later.
I'm sorry, but June 12th? And no Peace Walker? Thanks, but no thanks. Gravity Rush comes out the same day (Can't wait to play that!), and Pokemon Black 2/ White 2 (JP versions) comes out 2 weeks later.

Maybe, but I'm not one of those people. Disgaea 3 Absence of Detention is an absolute blast! I've already put in over 20 hours, but I'm still on Chapter 3!!

For some reason I'm tempted to buy this despite already owning the collection and their respective orignal releases. It's a disease!
Bought top many games, Resistance for VITA comes out this month too.. and I already got Diablo 3, and MK (for vita) and I have a RIFT addiction. I have a family... THERE IS NO TIME/MONEY!

Please trade your Vita in. Golden Abyss and Unit 13 are great, and Burning Skies and Gravity Rush are coming very soon. If you can't find games, you are setting your expectations pretty high

You missed my point. I was subtly referencing the fact that I have a 3DS, not a Vita, that goes unplayed and hoped aloud that I was not alone in this cross-platform annoyance.
Besides, out of the Vita titles you just listed, Gravity Rush is the only one that looks appealing to the point of purchase for me. I guess I'm not just a big handheld gamer? Either way, I don't really think a handful of good-to-great games are worth putting up $250 for. Not when the chance of a price drop, solid bundle, or hardware revision are plausible within the first year.

@Oishidesu, yes Disgaea 3 on Vita is quite wonderful and the reason why I'm on Vita 2 after panic trading my 1st one.I just hope E3 has some big news for us.

Then I will have to agree with GaidenRider. Uncharted is the singular best portable game I've ever played. Unit 13 is the best controlled portable shooter I've ever played. I can't wait for Resistance.

Well, I'm getting wipeout this weekend, disgaea the other week, then there it comes resistance and gravity rush, I just don't know where to put mgs hd in that timeframe, but yes, I wanted PW :(

Wow, talk about good timing. I can buy this for myself on launch as a reward for writing the LSAT the previous day.
Incidentally, Peace Walker does work on the Vita now, if you have a PS3 to transfer it. It's not HD, but in practice, the PSP titles still look pretty great. The fact that they aren't including Peace Walker in this HD collection makes me think they'll upscale it and release it separately. No idea when. I'm torn about whether to buy the PSP version or wait for something that may not happen. Also, I'm so all over Gravity Rush. I might cave and buy this HD collection, but I've already played MGS3 - hilarious game.

Original: Lumines, Wipeout, Uncharted, Hot Shots, MLB, Unit 13
Ports: Rayman, MK, BlazBlue, MvC, FIFA, Disgaea, Ninja Gaiden
Download: Tales From Space, Stardust, MotorStorm, Escape Plan
The launch and launch window on the Vita has been substantially better than the 3DS, or almost any console launch in the last decade. Stop trolling the readers. The joke is old. There's plenty of shit for you to play. Go play it.

Got my Vita yesterday, so I'm pretty good for games at the moment! As for this, I'll probably just get it on PS3 instead...
lol, anyone who lists either Unit 13 or Escape Plan as GOOD titles obviously is a fanboy or suffers from the lack of games(just like the Vita) and thinks that terrible means good.
Vita so far had not a single decent title:
Uncharted was ok, but nothing great,
Wipeout and Motorstorm were disappointing and frankly given the content and overall quality, Motorstorm should be free,
aside from Disgaea there's really nothing to play on Vita and that's a port. sadly most ports suck balls on Vita - they look considerably worse than originals and were stripped down of features and yet still cost more than console versions.
Ghost Recon Shadow Wars single-handedly beats all the games released on Vita so far. i love how sonytards constantly "praise" Vita software mentioning ports, but when it comes to 3DS somehow ports don't count.

All I'm waiting on is Amazon to set up Release Date Delivery and the bitch is mine! Right now, I've got plenty do do on mine: Playing Uncharted and Rayman. Next week I'll be playing Resistance. In couple more weeks, Gravity Rush and MGSHD. Good stuff!
Lol @ Sofik88,
always in there with a jab at Sony, really you must work really hard to be this much of a troll, I can't do that y'see because I have like...
A life.

Ahh sofik... always there to talk shit about things he's never played. Saying escape plan and unit 13 are terrible is just incorrect. Unit 13 suffered from zipper syndrome, being mediocre but still a lot of fun to play once you get immersed in it. Escape plan was very fun and had an awesome visual style and challenging gameplay. Every gripe I had with the game was fixed with an update, which added a whole new set of levels for free. Motorstorm, while annoying difficullt, was the ps3 version on a small screen. I should know because I have both at 100%. Uncharted was the most technically advanced handheld game to date, try arguing that. And it was fun to boot. For the love of god stop trashtalking things you've only seen screenshots of, or heard other people complain about in forums. Troll.
sofik88 owns a vita? wha wha what the fuck? why would you buy a console you hate so much and constantly says has no good games? sounds like a waste of money to me.
I think 40 bucks is too much for the collection especially since the console version 40 buck with Peace Walker.
I never said that the 3DS was doomed, nor will I say that the Vita is doomed.
It is called a new system goddangit. I have never in my life seen a new system come out and have an endless stream of games from day one. Never. I have been playing games since I was practically an infant. People forget that these things take time. Nothing any hardware company can necessarily control. You cannot expect Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft to flood a new console with games. It just is not going to happen. The can only do so many first-party titles without breaking the bank, which is usually low initially because of the cost of just launching a new platform that makes it hard to have additional funds to fund first-party titles. It comes down to third-party devs, but they either need to see incentives and/or support themselves. That does not happen overnight. It did not happen overnight for virtually any system that I can ever recall.
The only compliant I sympathize with is the cost of memory cards. The actual system itself has a lot of tech inside of it. I mean holy toldedo, I paid $200 dollars for my phone when it first came out, and it hardly does crap for me. $250 for something that can potentially do all the same and more (other than the obvious calls and texts, no biggie), I am down. The memory card prices are ridiculous. If they were high speed, then I would potentially forgive them, but there is nothing special about them other than they are proprietary.
The games will come, you have to give it time. If this bothers you so much, then a future tip would be waiting to purchase a console/handheld until it has a library of games you would like to play. Though every system needs early adopters to thrive.

Great comment. We're basically on the same page here, we're just willing to spend our money differently.
I don't want to give off the impression that I *expect* there to be a bunch of amazing games early on for a system, any system, because that's simply unreasonable. I do, however, feel like it's fair to state a lack of compelling games is reason enough to hold off on a purchase and to voice annoyance with this issue. My line about "killer apps" was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, since the phrase itself is beyond silly at this point.
TL;DR - I don't hate the 3DS, or Vita, and a perceived lack of games is not unique to either of them. But I still want to always hold platforms to a high standard so that we don't have to ever settle for "good enough."

I can totally respect that sentiment. I am not sure if your comment was directed at me, but my comment was not directed at you personally. I just know a lot of individuals who expect to see games flowing like water when a system releases. For many, their first system was either a PS3 or Xbox 360, or at best an PS2 or Xbox following the years after they had been released.
I do agree there needs to be a system seller for the Vita, I felt Gravity Rush would have been that for a great deal of people, but the delay really hurt the Vita. I know I would have jumped on the Vita like hotcakes for Gravity. It is a new IP and from what gameplay I have tried, it is a really fun game.
I guess I lied, the other compliant I can definitely get behind is the lack of PS1 games and the slow trickle of PSP PSV-compatible games. Sony honestly has little it can do to mess things up, but between the memory cards and the lack of PS1/PSP support, they succeeded.

"If you can live without the inclusion of Peace Walker in the PlayStation Vita version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, you'll be pleased to know that Konami has set the game's launch for Tuesday, June 12."
This is the date that retailers have had set for a few months now.. I don't really get where Konami gets off acting like this is news unless they were planning a Silent Hill style pushback party.
