Get the PDP Hand Grips. It makes the handheld PERFECT. Gives it extra width, so you can hold it well and still not touch the touchpad and extends the L/R shoulder buttons. Well worth the $20 dollars and my favorite Vita accessory by a landslide. I removed the PDP grip to apply a screen protector earlier today and while I could still make the claw grip required to hold the system, it was rather uncomfortable.

I got a surprising amount of money back from my textbooks from this quarter (~$280) and I'm so close to pulling the trigger on this. I am going to need a 32GB card though. That's kinda the only thing holding me back. I think it's crazy to add $100.
I'm going to run somewhere to try it out in the next couple days. And I need to see how many of my games will play on it, ect. I'm just so hyped lol

I wouldn't take the US rating count as a way to extrapolate how many it sold on PSN.
It looks like when you download the demo and rate it, that adds to the full game and not just the demo.
Fully agreed. I've never used a d-pad that feels so balanced. With a lot of other d-pads my finger kinda veers off it after rocking it around for abit, but not with this one.
Don't use d-pad heavy games (like fighters or whatever) but games i HAVE used it in, i love it. Very clicky and responsive.
I see. I'll wait on it then. I'm hoping that EA doesn't half-ass Madden for Vita, because it should be able to match the console versions 1:1 with the graphics scaled back a bit. If only we lived in an alternate reality where EA didn't sign an exclusive agreement with the NFL, and Sony could develop a The Show-caliber NFL franchise for PS3 & Vita

Thanks to the both of you, i appreciate it!
I was curious if the stores shared the rankings. It seems like the different european stores shares the rankings though, i checked my european account now (not UK) and it also have 179 rankings.panama chief

theres a person out there that said its like a 360 pad?? WHAT????
This is the same company that had Mass Effect 3 on the Store at £47.99 until last week.
I'm playing UMvC and Blazblue on it, and it's a dream. Also stuff like Dracula X, Ghouls and Ghosts, and Maverick Hunter.
The dpad is amazing. I'm still impressed with the handheld as a whole, but the dpad is a great surprise. Definitely was not expecting it to be so solid and really makes me want more fighters on it.

I'll need more time with the thing to give a real impression (as I said, yesterday was literally my first time with the hardware) but I didn't feel a high level of control at all from that pad, nothing even remotely close to my PS3 d-pad. I'm going to try and buy one of my own this or next week so I should be able to get some real time in with the hardware and (hopefully) get a better impression of it.

Yeah I am using the D-pad for UMvC3 with no issues at all, it feels perfect. I also haven't had any issue with the analog sticks in Uncharted or Wipeout either. The contorls on this thing feel so good to me for any game I have played, even PSP games.
I did what you just said, but when I exit Option menu and Vita tries to autosave, the game is stuck on this screen
It sucks but the only thing that'll fix it is if you have less than 2GB space free on your memory card. It's a bug in the game. It's hard coded to only accept 2GB or smaller memory cards so it freaks out when there's one bigger than 2GB. This problem happened on my PSP Go. If you fill up space on your card so there's less than 2GB of space left it'll work like magic.

I thought Motorstorm was free on the Store today but I don't see it. What gives?
Haaaa yes!!!
Guess which one I'm the most excited about?
*hint* Its the one on top.
Were you able to take advantage of the $80 bundle? How was it packaged?

Do we know the size of Motorstorm? If I have to sacrifice a psp game to my 4gb stick to free up space on my 8gb I am fine, just need to know how much to free up.

Anyone have any experience with "Grid-It" organizers? My PSV is "armored" with a Hori Face Cover (love it) but DAT back still needs some sort of protection. And I still need a place to put my spare USB cord, charger and game holder. This seems like it would work. Just attach everything and toss it in the backpack.
I use Grid-It. They work great and held my Game Boy Micro, PSP, UMDs, cords, etc. just fine.
I also just got the Hori Face Plate and it's really nice. Very minimalist and doesn't add a lot of bulk. I used a Pelican face plate on my PSP and it was all the protection I ever needed.
I just picked up my copies of MLB at Gamestop and the way it works there is they take $20 off the Vita version. It isn't any special packaging or anything.
Oh, I see. Thank you very much for help. It does suck, but it's still better than not being able to save.
Now go tell everyone you know with a Vita to buy Mutant Blobs

I hope there's a demo: not enough a sports fan to actually buy a sports game but they sure look purdy!

Did anyone pick up LEGO Harry Potter? Does it exist?
Co Worker brought his vita in..
It is soooooo cooooooollll and responsive.. I wish the ps3 UI was like this..
I almost walked over to bestbuy to make an impulse buy, had my jacket on and ready to go but them I got a high ticket that I had to respond to.
I am going to look for deals since I missed out on pre order and initial buys, I'm sure there will be something coming up soon. I may trade in my 360 for it but I don't believe gamestop would offer me much for it.
Is this the best thread for remote play info?

gta? wtf?
i'd be bummed if that were real, to be honest. i think portables should get a completely different gta in a new city. vice city in modern times would be interesting though.
Vice City Nights is so legit bro.

FEB Vita, Little Deviant, LBP (probably not as it's not even available so either MLB or Modnation lol), and 4GB card.
Wow, would be awesome if true. Isn't Monster Hunter Portable 3 several years old though and already on the PSP?

Motorstorm RC being free is so awesome. I've been waiting for the Vita one to go up on the US store - been playing the PS3 version from my AU account, glad I don't have to pay again (though I gladly would). Game is the definition of addictive.
What is this mutant blobs business?

IIRC they ship you Hot Shots Golf if you said you want LBP, and you get LBP once it actually releases.
