Super Crate Box and Aqua Kitty are great fun. Having actual controls on Super Crate Box while on a portable device is great. :)
Well ive never spent a dime on scb before (got it on pc free) so I don't mind dropping some extra for portable WITH buttons. Especially since I can use it on my phone too.
SCB is *the best* thing that will ever happen to the Vita. Hopefully Sony stops fucking around and continue with these good things.

*Sees list* No Latin America. -_- Man, Sony is always fucking it up in some way or another, aren't they?
@Excel - I have the Xperia Play. It's been abandoned, that's what. To tell you the truth, I'm honestly surprised they officially supported the Play. I'm downloading this app now, and I'll be shocked if the games support the physical gamepad.
It's a shame about the phone. The Playstation app never even made it stateside, and the Verizon model got an update that broke some vital connectivity to google services, and it's never been fixed.
This development is a year late, though, as it should have been released along side the phone, along with more direct access to the PS3's PSN for emulated PSOne games.

The developers set the prices. I think once PSM become crowded with games (if ever), it will be priced "competitively".
@Arttemis I own Xperia PLAY too, and I have to agree with you. However, I don't regret buying this phone. In fact I refuse to upgrade to any other phone. It feels backward to have a phone without a built-in gamepad. only if there would be an Xperia PLAY 2, or a true PlayStation phone developed by SCE.

I have no idea how so many people have problems with touch controls. I think its a failure to adapt or just terrified of any changes, even those that have had huge positive gains for indie gaming.
Oh look at all the games I can't get for my Vita. Thanks Sony, you always knew how to tickle my fancy! Whine, groan, whine.
@Afrit - I agree on every point. Rooted and bootloader unlocked, many of its shortcomings are fixable. As long as I can play emulated games on it, it more than serves my mobile gaming needs, and I'll never need another handheld.
I've had this phone for over a year, and I'm still loving it, despite the lack of support and missed opportunities associated with it. I really wish they'd make more phones with a physical gamepad, though.

@sean payne: its cause touch controls suck. They lack tactile feedback to tell you that your finger is on the button, that youve properly triggered it and it doesnt bounce back meaning there is additional lag due to the distance between the screen and your finger whereas that distance is constant with buttons. Plus the controls waste screen space.
Quit making excuse sto ignore the genuine faults.

Played SCB on the VIta at Eurogamer, it's definitely the best way to play it. I'm terrible at it, never getting past a horrific 7 boxes, yet even I had fun every second I was playing.
I bought it on Vita last night and its so good. I got the iOS version today and it sucks because of the lack of tangible buttons.
I also have the Xperia Play. Since Sony announced it's not getting a firmware update past 2.3 because "it's too hard to do", All it's good for is running emulators.
Not even getting Ice Cream Sandwich. Also i'm not seeing the Playstation Mobile app in the UK Google Play store...

Though I could never buy a touchscreen phone without a built in controller now. I too see newer "buttonless" phones as a step backwards.
My next phone will be if Sony makes another Xperia Play
