A Challenge to Sony on Behalf of Games Devs

So, come on Sony, I guess dev kits are pretty scarce right around now, but how about finding one spare somewhere and getting some new and funky games going for the Vita launch. Hard Lines would work perfectly with the rear touch panel, or even just a plain old stick.
