Big influx of Vita owners coming tomorrow; can we rename the thread, even if just for a day, "Vitas have arrived! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" ?

Wait until next week, FEB people shouldn't count. In fact, I'd prefer that they refrain from talking about the system altogether, it's not fair for the rest of us who are still waiting.

My problem isn't with FEB. It's that FEB is US only.

I'm in the UK and I would sell my soul to get the Vita tomorrow. Argh.

Thanks Sony!

Theyre going to refund me the 9.99 for Super Stardust Delta so I can take advantage of the 3g launch bundle offer instead. Now I can use that 10 bucks on something else.

That can's been open for months with the import systems. And the Canada leak for that matter, I'm not going to begrudge someone who managed to get lucky (or was crazy enough to fly out to get a system).

I stopped by the Gamestop near my house today to see if I could check out the Vita. They had a bunch behind the counter on the floor but when I asked if I could take a look at the box the guy working there wouldn't let me. No wonder people hate that place so much.

works for Gamestop (lol)

I'm going to start out with Uncharted and Wipeout 2048. That should keep me busy for a while. The 22nd of Feb feels like it is miles away though. :(

To those worrying about the shipping soon from Amazon, I wouldn't worry, I've bought items from them before that had shipping soon for at least a day after I received the item. Now, if Thursday arrives and you still release date shipping, then I would complain.
 
Why did you buy an AC adapter? Don't tell me this thing doesn't come with a frigging AC adapter?

I suddenly very much want the answer to this.

It never even crossed my mind that the thing wouldn't come with an AC adapter, considering most USB-charged devices need to be powered off while charging.

Guys can anyone tell me how good Target is with their shipping for online purchases? I'm thinking of buying it from their website

I finally got my first Vita game in the mail today. I've seen many pictures of the case already, but I didn't expect it to be that small! :eek:

Also, is anyone going to make a Wipeout 2048 topic? I need some Vita friends.

On the flipside I had Hot Shots Golf with Release Date Delivery and rather than come yesterday it came today. Not that I'd get to play it any soone whether I was getting FEB or 3G Launch/Wi-fi, but I've had it fail often enough that if you want to be absolutely sure you may want to be cautious.
 
What Toys R Us bundle? Give me details!

TRU is going to have spend $50 on Vita items, get $20. So essentially $10 off each game when you buy two games. That's 33% off $29.99 games, 25% off $39.99 and somehow if you can squeeze it right, 40% off $49.99 for Uncharted. Or in other words, almost like B2G1 and B1G1@50% deals depending on which games you get. Can also be used on accessories.
 
Alright. I traded in my UMvC3 for PS3 and cancelled my UMvC3 for Vita. That got me $70 in PSN cards. I'm going to pick UMvC3 digital and another game. Maybe Lumines.
 
Probably got it for the Vita cradle. For some reason, the $20 cradle doesn't come with a power source.

I know the FEB comes with an AC adapter shown in this unboxing video. With the size of the Vita box for non-FEB, I'm sure it does.

The cradle most likely needs both usb cable and ac adaptor.

Anyone know what demos are up on PSN? I need some hands on convincing to buy anything other than HSG.


Also, who wants a copy of Little Deviants? Lulz.

So someone this morning asked for screenshots of the Panels.
I took some screenshots. There are quite a few though.

I've put them all on imgur

Let me know if there are any problems.

Enjoy :)

I'm going to post the first image just so the person who wanted this doesn't miss it. The thread is going fast.

I think most games should be getting demos. At least I'd imagine the first party games will.

I'll take it if it's free. Or like...$10 at the most lol

Are these panels custom made or do they come pre-loaded?

Seeing some Eye of Judgment images sure is a blast from the past, in fact thinking about it that game would be rather good on the Vita, what with the camera already built in and everything.....

Wait what are those panels for exactly?

The panels are for your profile. You know on the PS3 people just have a coloured bar? On the Vita, the bar is art!

They're pre-loaded.

Any custom panels? Or is this like avatars.

They're like avatars.

It's worth it to give your PSN ID in a Friends list look like sweet Gravity Daze art instead of a boring plain color background like you see on PS3.

That's pretty cool. Sony should've been smart and made it so that every new game you install into the system adds a new panel.
