Whether Sony knows it or not, the Vita has two killer apps: Persona 4 Golden and Wake-Up Club.

This is entirely too sedate and logical for a Japanese commercial. I call foul.

With ideas like this, Foursquare, etc... I seems like most everyday tasks are being fashioned into some form of social video game. Interesting trend to say the least.

Analysts report that Sony's latest app, "Wake-Up," is expected to dramatically boost sales of the device in the Japanese market. A trusted source from Sony said that the soft-launch feedback has been so "overwhelmingly positive," they are preparing for a worldwide release in the coming months. Stay tuned for details.

Looks more fun than doing math problems, though I'd be more likely to just chuck the thing across the room and go back to sleep.

Do you think the alarm clock only works with the stand? These companies are always trying to nickle and dime us with their killer apps.

The first thing I want to do when I wake up is grab my PSVITA and play a minigame. Not.

I don't own a VITA and don't plan on getting one either. This definitely doesn't make me any more interested in one.

That's an expensive alarm clock.

I think I'll just use my phone. It also plays games!

Even with english subtitles I don't think I'd get whatever this is.

it's the future!

So, understanding the subtitles really doesn't help make this less weird.

同盟 means allegiance and the tagline is 'Making waking up everyday fun!'.

You have the option of choosing between analogue and digital clocks for massive customization. You set your wake up time and if it's the same as other people's, you can form allegiances. You have to touch the spinning avatar to stop the alarm clock.

You support them to wake them up and they support you if they wake up early. You all get trophies for getting up on time and all your data (killstreaks and KDR I guess) are recorded in minute detail for later. You can also become friends with other members. Alliances apparently consist of 5 people.

Also, if you wake up late, you have to uncover your allies' support messages by touching them. So basically making you even later if you had something to do in the morning...
