Oblivious here, but doesn't that still defeat the purpose of getting one, considering the games will most likely only be in Japanese?

That's the point man. Japan has exclusive games on all consoles that aren't released world wide. I suppose it would be just as easy to get the games and get Vita here... makes more sense... yeah I'm confused too now... ****

Yeah, even if the Vita has an English language setting, i doubt the games have. So without having any games on it, i could just as easily wait for the European release.

Not sure if the 3g with be compatible with US company's, and oversea shipping cost might tack on a extra 50-100$, and if there is a hardware problem will Sony honor the warranty in the USA ?

No, the games themselves will be in Japanese even if the PS Vita has a english setting for the system itself.

Not if you buy English games. Or did you mean before it's released here? Then yes, it kind of defeats the purpose.

It's safe to assume that if you import Japanese games they'll be in Japanese only.

It doesn't matter if games like ridge racer or wipeout are in Japanese as you should be ar to work them out. I'm still going to import and get uncharted. I'll get local copy later.
