Rumor: Leaked GameStop Document Lists Vita Games, Prices, Dates
The PlayStation Vita’s launch is coming soon, but many of the titles coming for Vita’s launch day or window still haven’t been given firm dates or prices yet. Today, though, new information about Vita’s launch software may have been revealed from an allegedly leaked GameStop document.
The report on the alleged document says that both Gravity Rush and Lumines: Electronic Symphony are launch titles, with Gravity Rush allegedly being available on launch day (but whether the launch day is the First Edition Bundle launch or the actual February 22 launch is unclear). The document lists a 2/14 release date for Lumines: ES, though — one day prior to the First Edition Bundle’s release.
The alleged document lists the following launch titles as being priced at $29.99: Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational, WipEout 2048, ModNation Racers: Road Trip, Reality Fighters, and Little Deviants. The titles that are not available at launch, but are listed as having a $29.99 price point are: Ridge Racer and Touch My Katamari. Both of those titles are listed as having 2/21 release dates.
The launch titles listed as having a $39.99 price point are: Gravity Rush, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Lumines: Electronic Symphony, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extended, and Virtua Tennis: World Tour. The titles that aren’t available at launch, but are listed as having a $39.99 price point are: Supremacy MMA (2/16), FIFA Soccer (2/21), Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen (2/21), F1 2011 (2/22), MLB 12: The Show (3/6), Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (3/20), Army Corps of Hell (late March), LittleBigPlanet (3/31), Ruin (April), and Resistance: Burning Skies (May).
Finally, Uncharted: Golden Abyss is listed as a launch title and as being priced at $49.99.
The PlayStation Vita launches on February 22 in North America and Europe, with Sony having confirmed some of the handheld’s launch titles.

What? No Uncharted GA on the list? Thought it was a launch title… I’ll just assume it’s in the 40$ group.
I was charged $50 at gamestop when I preordered Uncharted
nice to know the release date for littlebigplanet even if it is a rumor
if sony is smart, they’ll keep games cheap. $30~40
if they start charging $50 for a game, you know other companies will follow. and most people are not gonna spend $50 on a handheld game. i’m definitely not.
The whole reason the handheld market fails for me is that games are too expensive. I can’t see paying more than 20 for most of the titles. The only psp game that I’ve paid more than that for was Crisis Core, which was worth it. The rest of the games I have for the psp were between 10 to 20. Unfortunately the only good games on the DS are all between 30 and 40 so I have picked up a few of them I really wanted. I still don’t feel they were worth that much though.
I know the vita is supposed to basically be a ps3 in a handheld, but I highly doubt the games will be on the same scale as a full blown ps3 game.
