Yep. And another Ninja Gaiden (Sigma 2+ or something).
Here's some more info on Killzone: Mercenaries btw:

I bought and finished God of War Ghost of Sparta over the weekend. Now that's a PSP game that shits on 90% of Vita exclusive games, even in terms of graphics. I never figured the PSP capable of amazing feats like that. 't was less than 4€ too.
Also, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 plus is a pretty awful port (framerate is terrible, iq is worse, and the level of detail took a massive hit. The first NG Sigma on the Vita is a way more pleasant looking game). I'm hoping DoA5 will be better, but the super sampled console bullshots they've been showing exclusively so far don't inspire much confidence.

It's worked from the browser for a while. I think the Twiiter app still sends youtube links to the browser, which then sends you to the app.
I love BestBuy at the moment. To make a long story short AT&T suck and cancelled almost everyone who got in on the 50% off vita memory card deals however I walked into a best buy an showed them the email of the order confirmation with the price and they pricematched it. So I picked up a 32GB card for $53.50 after tax.

Bought Atelier Totori, DoA 5+, Mortal Kombat and Virtua Tennis recently.
Pretty damn good ports in general, although the character models in MK really do look like something from two generations ago. Looks fine in action at least. DoA5+ doesn't really fare an awful lot better in terms of graphical reduction either, but since DoA5's core assets were so ridiculously detailed, even the drastic cut-backs on display aren't enough to ruin the stunning character models from the console versions. The stages with all their over-the-top hazards remain perfectly n tact as well.
Both fighting games are a joy to play at least (and the loading times in DoA5+ are damn impressive too), so neither Netherealm nor Team Ninja compromised their works where it arguably counts the most.
Virtua Tennis 4 is just stunning to behold, and I'm quite frankly wondering why there's such a huge graphical gulf between that game and the two I mentioned earlier. The game moves at 60 fps, the image quality is peerless, the character models are lovely (even though the likenesses of the few pro players I recognize are more than just a little bit off), the effects are fantastic, and I doubt a tennis court is any less complex than a typical fighting game backgruond.
The Vita really did have an impressive launch library, didn't it? The technical achievements of games like Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048, Virtua Tennis 4, MvC3 or Blazblue have rarely been matched, let alone surpassed.

That's certainly what happens for me.... though I didn't realise, for a while, that the youtube app won't launch if there is a game open.

I'll have you know that Guacamelee! is pretty splendid. It's also slightly discounted for PS+ members. Oh, and Virtue's Last Reward is a new PS+ freebie now.
I can open youtube video in the browser, just watched LOU wasteland video, looks fantastic.
Ok, so I got both versions now. Only played on Vita so far, but definitely interested in trying out the cross-play options, including the Wii-style thing where the Vita shows the map ...
So far though, it seems to be quite a cute little game with oodles of charm. Really nicely done, and a really nice setup/build up.

Yeah, I saw the blog entry for the demo. Might move my purchase day forward if I continue to hear good things about it. My Dark Souls dude is now about level 250. I seldom get summoned anymore. 8^(
Will wait a few more days to see if I am really over-leveled.
