Hopefully the alleged problems few people are having are easily fixed.

PlayStation Vita Japanese Launch Thread. "APOCALYPTIC!" says concerned Nuclear Muffin

They said they are still working on the browser, for what it's worth. At least, for sure they would add html5 support in some future update.
Wait a fucking second. The Vita battery tops out at a couple hours?! FFFFFUUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!
Holy shit! That's a disaster! The worst possible case scenario! That means that if a game is released, it will be COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS!!! Truly tied to a charger cord, only forever!
Not to mention that us folk who live in Europe and need AC adapters for our special outlets and have US/JP Vitas!
How the hell does this not have it's own thread yet? That's an apocalyptic scenario!

It feels like a little ps3 in your hands. Some rough edges on launch games, and I'm not saying it can exactly duplicate ps3 games - it just feels like one. The added PSN integration helps a lot to make it feel fleshed out. Hell, cross game chat beats ps3
Yep that's pretty much what I'm looking for. With PSP I soon realized how low poly, dithered, simplified, single stick everything was compared to PS2. So being more in the ballpark of a miniature PS3 experience is what I'm looking for.
I decided to dump Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 only for now as I got more store credit for them than I paid for them. I'll hang onto my 3DS for now, and unload Zelda and Pilotwings a bit later after more play. I think I will take the advice and keep my 3DS for now, since its only 80gbp in credit anyway, but I swear I'll get shat on by the dual stick revision eventually....
Somewhere in the world, Nuclear Muffin is sitting in a corner shedding a tear.
Famitsu puts out early numbers Tuesday evening.

Does Hot Shots Golf have vs online multiplayer or is it asynchronous multiplayer?
Nice!
Hope the game has region-free online so I can join you for some matches when it comes out in the US

No, apparently.
Anyone tested 3DS browser?
well you never know how that turns out, maybe tomorrow or maybe in 5 years
.But so far what I read was that sites load fine, just no interactive content like flash or games/videos from html5... but other html5 features and jscript are supported.
you can see it here:

ign and engadget load fine... they are a bit slow to scroll though, so it could definitively be optimized (my ipad also pauses if i fast scroll, but newer ones supposedly dont).

Not on the system -- if you count doing it on your PC or PS3, sure!
Game gear didn't even HAVE a browser! Vita wins, flawless victoly.

But you couldn't be bothered to post the link, eh?
Some fine friends you are! Hrmpf.
Just tried. Latest firmware gives 120 (& no bonus points) out of a total of 450.
For shame Sony.
It has a bit of both.
Online tournaments (three a day), where you play your round and upload you scorecard, you can see your position so far after you finish, but that will change as more players take their rounds throughout the day.
Then there is the 30 player live tourney which I think you need to be on wi-fi for, as it's quite a speedy tourney.
Multiplayer async games where you're all on the same course at the same time will be patched into the game in 2012.

Well done lol
Only Vita games and apps.
Awesome. The online component is putting Hot Shots near the top of my purchase wish list.

Is that surprising? HSG is ridiculously addictive.
I thought this was also true for PSP games; once transferred to the Vita their install files would be removed from the PS3.

Battery Test:
3G/Wifi Model
Mobile Data (3G) ON (but is probably over-riden by...
Wifi ON (connected to home network) -- this means I was getting notifications/etc the whole time, all on
Bluetooth OFF
Brightness MAX (note: Brightness in OS MAX, caps in-game at about 80% [battery saving measure -- even 80% brightness is really bright...])
Near Auto-Updating ON
Headphones, volume at 50%
Time was spent: Play UMvC3 from Game Card (including about 30 minutes of Online play)
Occasionally flipping to Web Browser for quick look-ups, as well as Trophies app to check trophies (game kept running in the background, obviously)
Full to Death: 4:29
Warning notice came on at 4:11

Thanks. It looks like I will be getting this with Uncharted and Gravity Daze.
I can't wait for Feb. 22
Wow that's pretty good. I mean, awful, but pretty good.
not really, the whole package is just perfect for portable gaming
The Elite
BOSS
Jinfash
needs 2 extra inches
That sounds great.
However it will not please Muffin. You have to play UMvC3 online the entire time, brightness max, bluetooth on, volume max over speakers, talking to a friend over Party throughout the entire session, 6 apps backgrounded, including NEAR to insure GPS is on, have a friend spam you with notifications, and finally shake the Vita as hard as you can.
This is actually very, very good. 4 and a half hours at max settings is incredible, especially for a system as powerful as the Vita is.
Not bad expected worse. Can you do a test on movies as well?
that's where the nuclear reactor comes in

now we need standby time.
Thanks a lot for doing this! Not bad at all - 4:30 on full power. Now am curious how long it'll last if it's not at full brightness and 3G/Wifi are not on.

Wow, that's actually a step above acceptable. +1 for non-removable battery!

on the 8-4 podcast, they were acting surprised by how quickly it charged
Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Certainly by no means great, but good since it's PSP/3DS level of life. It's doable though still disappointing, but is exactly what Sony pitched as battery life for it.
Isn't it 2hrs 40min from absolute zero?
Thanks for doing the test. That doesn't sound bad. It is about what I expected. Glad you ran with the features that most would want to run with. If you can remember, please give us an idea for the battery life after you have completed several charge cycles. My smartphone's battery seemed to improve a little after a while.
