[QUOTE=Ken;35322762]I think you have some hidden talent of being amazing at HSG, going by that last GAF tournament I was in.[/QUOTE]

I just got lucky in that tournament. And I played it way more than anyone else there. It's the only game I have for the Vita right now and I got it like five days earlier than everyone else.

I bet I would do poorly if we played again. My best score ever is like -6. It was some miracle that game that let me somehow get -18.

Same here and I go way back.

Holy Moly way over 1 million views and massive post counts. VITA is alive and kicking. Haters am cry.

This launch is unbelievable. The worst game I own from it, Little Deviants, I feel is actually underrated. The best game I own from it, is, well, about 6 games all tied for being amazingly awesome.

[QUOTE=jackdoe;35322662]FIFA is the game that requires 160 mb if I remember correctly. So you do need one.[/QUOTE]

Nah it uses the game card for save. The cover doesn't say Memory Card required.

160 mb is probably something from digital downloads.

Suuuure lol.

I still want that horse prop for the lobby avatars though. D:

patsu 02-21-2012 03:58 AM

After I choose my Vita profile background picture, will it change my PS3 profile color/picture somehow ? I chose one of the Gravity Rush backgrounds on Vita, but my PS3 gamer card remains unchanged. Is this expected ?

Captain N 02-21-2012 04:01 AM

I just got done playing DJMizuhara in japan while playing in the States and there was very little lag. we did this while talking in party chat with another guy.

PS I love Vita.

I spent like all my points on lobby avatar stuff. I always completely fall for dress up features in games.

Colour should change if you log out then back in. This lets you have "unique" colours that the PS3 people don't get. No picture though.

It can't make phone calls so it doesn't really do everything.

Good thing HSG Vita doesn't charge microtransactions lol.

I feel the same about dress up features. I usually dislike games if I can't customize my character's appearance or change outfits somehow.

teiresias 02-21-2012 04:04 AM

I'm thiiiiiiiis close to cancelling my 3G/Wifi order and doing the Wifi-only with 4GB card on Amazon instead. Tell me what to do GAF!!!!

Only issue with this is if Amazon screws up crediting the $200 worth of gift card credit I used on the original order back to me and that delays me putting in the new order.

Digishine 02-21-2012 04:04 AM

I'm really scared of amazon Processing for dispatch status the other time I had this I had to wait 4 days before they send it :/

LowEndTorque 02-21-2012 04:04 AM

Vita sales are blowing up on Amazon:

Lumines up 4,483%, Rayman up 3,433% etc.

[url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab[/url]

Best sellers in video games. Vita sw and hw taking 5 of the top 10 spots.

[url]http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames[/url]

Obviously it's only one retailer, so not in any way indicative of Vita sw & hw overall, but it should make good fodder for the vita is doomed crowd =)

I would really like to see Vita games actually hit the Top 10 NPD chart, I don't remember this ever happening for PSP games (obviously it's happened at some point)

seady 02-21-2012 04:07 AM

Any words on when the white Vita coming - either Japan or US? I will wait until that out to bite.

I did exactly this a few hours ago. I had no problem applying the credit to the new order.

I remember way back when the Vita videos first started and they were showing off DLC capabilities. HSG was the game they were showing....complete with courses, clubs, and clothes dlc!

this was way back so idk what, if anything, changed.

Anastacio 02-21-2012 04:12 AM

I hope I receive an SMS in about 4 hours that says, that the post office has gotten my Vita.

Thinking of buying Rayman and Lumines to get Marvel vs Capcom 3 for free, as we probably won't get Ubisofts launch titles.

Verelios 02-21-2012 04:12 AM

So can anyone comment on the VT4 review? Saying that the AI was really basic, and etc?

NPD does not track digital sales. I think that alone makes it doubtful.

Xeno_Flux2113 02-21-2012 04:14 AM

so update on my freezing/locking situation. It seems that when I am home and connected to the wifi no matter how hard i try I can't get the thing to lock up like it did earlier today. This was before doing the update.

[QUOTE=Respawn;35322708]We are all brothers in the handheld club at the end of the day.



She is a gamer but not in the same league as us. She goes on to talk about the controls in Uncharted 3 in reference to the VITA's UC control so she's not a poser like some reviewers. :)[/QUOTE]

Yeah, she does play games and knows how to play decently, but I kind of cringed every time she called Golden Abyss "Uncharted 3" lol.

FairXchange 02-21-2012 04:14 AM

Army Corps is my next pick-up.. then I'll grab Unit 13 when it gets released.

You would need to make a HK PSN account and grab it off there I think?

Wifi Vita is 25th for 2012, which is one behind Mass Effect 3 which has had 400k preorders this year if you want to get all scientific.

anyone else have problems with the Vita not auto-connecting to wifi networks it already knows (or losing connection randomly)?

Yeah, that's nuts.

I'm in Japan using pocket Wifi playing Fifa online against Captain N who's in the States, we're both using party chat with no issues what-so-ever, what makes it more amazing is the other dude who joined our party chat was playing Wipeout2048 online. It's nuts to think a handheld is capable of such things, what makes it more amazing is that the PS3 is unable to do this. Welcome to the future.

Amazon usually ships the day before since they use UPS Overnight. If they don't ship it by tom afternoon, then I'd start getting a bit worried.

Tratorn 02-21-2012 04:23 AM

I'm sure it got mentioned already, but amazon.co.uk changed the status of my £6 Ubisoft-Games to "dispatching soon".

So it seems they're honoring their price-mistake.
Really cool. :)

Getting ready for the SCE NZ Vita launch party here in Auckland (public preview is tomorrow). We are showing Rugby Challenge for Vita.

Awesome launch lineup on display here.
