Correct!

You could also play the PS4 version ON the Vita thanks to the remote play feature (this can be somewhat dependent on network latency though)

One of the sites I was looking at up here when I posted that had it listed as the 13th, but when I look now, the ones I'm seeing seem to indicate next week, so that may have just been a mistake.

I am picking up The Show on PS4 next week, but I'll be getting that delivered to me (I pre-ordered from EB online before Sony hiked up their PS4 prices here in Canada, so I don't want to cancel), so I might go out on lunch today, and see if I can find one in stores, rather than having to make a trip on Tuesday (and then I can play The Show this weekend too).

So I basically picked up a Vita for The Show and man, I'm happy I did. I've had it since the April 1 release date and I'm already a couple seasons in my RTTS. The games move quick (I'm a SP) and the graphics are great for a handheld.

There are some things you'll need to realize. There's no replays on HRs, double plays, etc.

I'm really enjoying the Vita as a whole. I recently bought Chrono Trigger and the slew of PS Plus games have kept this system in my hands.

Hmmmm... It looks like all the current bundles come with a 4GB memory card, and the Borderlands one comes with an 8GB card. Might be best to wait until next week in that case.

The 13th date you saw was for the Boarderlands 2 game for the Vita (game only, that's the release date). You could always pick up a Sony Accessory kit for ~$20US, it comes with a 4GB card, cloth, Screen Protector and soft case. I would really try and get one now with the OLED screen, the BL2 Vita has an LCD screen.

I've had a lot of errors and bugs with my Vita version. Random freezing, stats being wonky and recently, after a game I finished, it's permanently loading to take me back to my schedule. It's really damn annoying. Granted I've had this since day 1 and the perma-loading screen only happened about 20 minutes ago

Well I was gonna say that I only ever had one perm-loading (I was pressing the X to exit a game due to frustration a lot) and some weird screen tearing that make the pitching meter line drag/hesitate, which screws up pitching. But then a home run was hit that was so awesome and awe inspiring that The Show just froze and crashed. I think playing with Barry Bonds is gonna be a problem..............

The last bundle with the old LCD screens I believe was The Walking Dead. If you can snag that, its a decent bundle with the older (and perceived as 'better') VITA. And The Walking Dead translates nicely onto the Vita.
