this is a sick joke, i just got back from buying my Vita and its sitting on my desk until i get out of class at 145

Try, it's in a box until I get out of work at 5:30PM, then go shopping, then go home, and start to set it up after getting it at somewhere around 9:30AM E.S.T.

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

I was with you until I saw the vita-branded headphones. Kill Them!

It's the mic control I wanted... they will only be used when playing on-line games...

 

[03sho]

I think someone asked a few pages ago if the following was possible:

That's too bad, I hope they do a firmware update for this. After all, they're connecting to the same service and the friends are the same.

SHUCKS!

 

[depward]

with my first child due on March 21st I may need a Vita to keep me sane during the late nights.

hmmmm

what say you gaf?

As someone with a three month old, I am almost exclusively a handheld gamer now. It's a great way to get some gaming in... Especially when you need to quickly sleep the system to take care of the kid.

 

[nicoga3000]

Gods Eater Burst and MJ The Experience transferred over.

Time to play some Hot Shots Golf.

This is so good. SO GOOD.

My second son is 18 days old today, we(my wife, my other son and i) spend most of our time together in the master bedroom when i'm home, my consoles are downstairs on the living room so...

Vita incoming in a week for me.

 

[CronosBlade]

So had the 3G bundle for next week. Called the Gamestop my friend works at as a manager, asked if any FEBs weren't reserved.

They had 2, neither reserved. Flew on over, guy behind me picks up the other.

Sitting at work staring at it, UMvC3, Rayman, and Lumines. Hot Shots and the Crystal case are sitting at home.

I'm gonna open this thing up and charge it while I sit here.

 

[dallow_bg]

Anything can scratch easily. Doesn't mean you're going to wrap the whole thing with Saran wrap.

I wouldn't wrap the whole thing up because I won't lay my Vita down on hard surfaces on it's side or face down.

I'll likely put something on the back, but rest will be nude.

woof lol, thats rough as well. Ive been waiting for this thing since it was announced at E3. i still have one more hour in this class and its killing me, then i have an other class at 730pm. Good thing is a holiday weekend this week

 

[Peterthumpa]

We need Escape Plan impressions!

 

[- J - D -]

Those who bought from Amazon, does FedEX leave packages at the door in absence of a recipient like UPS does?

 

[brettchalupa]

My PSN id is: brettchalupa

Feel free to add me.

D-pad lives up to expectations, PSP games pop, and the system overall is really great. It has exceeded my expectations.

Next I am going to test out Where is my heart?

Edit: Where is my heart? is a no go.

 

[Lighthouse]

Anything can scratch easily. Doesn't mean you're going to wrap the whole thing with Saran wrap.

Even if it scratches, it will work just as well.

No, just the screen and touchpad

give me a few hours lol, i need to get back to my room and download it, and with my internet at school that might take a while lol

 

[jcutner]

Anyone find it odd that Sony hasn't tried to integrate any of the PS+ stuff into the Vita as incentives to subscribe? Discounts/free/etc stuff for the Vita would be a smart idea for members of Plus and to get new members, I would have thought. (I'm not a PS+ member mind you)

 

[Chocoboko]

Those who bought from Amazon, does FedEX leave packages at the door in absence of a recipient like UPS does?

Not for me they don't. Fedex always leaves a note. I live at an Apt. though so that may be why.

But UPS always leaves the packages by my door, which I appreciate.

 

[jony_m]

Is UPS tracking down for anyone? I saw mine was Out for delivery earlier but tracking isn't loading.

EDIT:

 

[Basch]

Any early impressions on the games? I still don't know what to pick up. Uncharted is a done deal, but I'm still on the edge with BlazBlue, Rayman, and Ninja Gaiden. Is WipeOut and Escape Plan any good?

[Guevara]

I played the demo a while back. It's pretty cool puzzle game with great art style. You sort of push your dude into motion (or tap him to stop) and then use the front and back touch screens to create a safe path using switches, platforms, etc. As the levels get more difficult, the timing becomes harder. I didn't get to a very hard level, but presumably it could be very challenging.

 

[Fuzzy]

Just opened up Uncharted and it doesn't have a physical instruction manual? Is that true of all games? I haven't opened up the other games yet.

 

[Respawn]

Well just ordered my 32gig card from BB for store pickup. Had a $10 RZ certificate laying around so I used it. So far I have my Sony case, Screen protector and Uncharted. 22nd here I come.
Oh and here's a heck of a tale. My friends brother who knows this girl that works at a BB took some VITA's from the store. Yup just like I said. My friend and his bro was able to snag two 3G/Wifi VITA's from her for $180.
He told me to come with him but my girlfriend was bitchin since it was Valentines. Lets just say I told them to fuck off when they called me cheering but in my heart I knew I did the right thing.

Spoiler

I still feel shitty though lol

e:

I checked this morning and mine was out for delivery.

most games, only thing i have in some of mine are online passes

They said later, probably maximizing profit at the moment, observing our spending and then coming up with the right promo.

That royally sucks. GG fix this shit.

 

[03sho]

Anyone had experience with Lockerz delivering to the UK?

 

[Weenerz]

Rayman didn't have one either, but I think there is a digital version built into the game.

 

[FairXchange]

Just came home with my FEB bundle, a 16GB card, Rayman Origins, Uncharted GA, and Wipeout 2048, oh and 2 screen protector packs for a total of 4.

This is real life, bros. Brb, gonna go buy Escape Plan.

 

[brettchalupa]

Checking for applications on the PSN right now.

Edit: Still only the protection plans.

Is there a separate thread for Vita PSN id ?

There was a list in the HSG thread. Someone asked for people to post them, so I figured I would.

Most don't have an actual manual. In Japan, Disgaea 3 did, which was nice.

Okay. I rarely get packages from FedEx. I'd rather they leave it on doorstep also, since I am at work and cannot receive packages here.

 

[Guevara]

Escape Plan is already out in the U.S.? I though it was 2/22?

If it is out that's a today kind of purchase.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

It's the mic control I wanted... they will only be used when playing on-line games...

I bought them for the same reason. It's hard if not impossible to find cheap earbuds with a mute switch

 

[Fuzzy]

I'm not buying Escape Plan until there's some kind of discount. $15 is too much for me.

 

[The Elite]

My vita crashed twice trying to access my personal wifi hotspot. Bleh!

20 more minutes before my Gamestop here opens.

 

[Shinriji]

I want to buy a Vita, waiting for the first price drop. But now there is a perfect storm for getting one on launch (unexpected money coming my way, nice 3G bundle, Target doing the b2g1).

So, do you think that the 3G launch bundle will be sold out as soon as feb 22? And what about Army Corps of Hell?

 

[graywolf323]

Those who bought from Amazon, does FedEX leave packages at the door in absence of a recipient like UPS does?

they have in the past for me

 

[Liquid_015]

I've had it on for about an hour. Let it rest as it says to let it rest for about 3-5. The light condensation has already dissipated. I have some little air pockets but those are the ones that are supposed to disappear in a few days. It's not even noticeable either. So in other words, it's a pretty good screen protector which encompasses the entirety of the front. Easily worth the price.

System updating to 1.60 at the moment then I'm going to try to finish the PSN setup and tackle the 3G activation. This thing is gorgeous.

I'm going to have to pick up Rayman now lol

Thanks a lot g35!

I'm assuming the one you bought is only the front screen, and not the full body protector? Was it hard to apply with the buttons and what not, and does it come off easily when it is in use like the edges start to peel off? I'm planning on getting the dry tech one, instead of the one that requires the solution.

Don't forget the Toys R Us promo ($20 Gift card for $50 purchase). I think the Target deal only applies to games, but if you want to get some accessories, the TRU one might be interesting too.

good luck with that.

I don't think 3g will be sold out as it launches. Army CoH is being at GS right now.

He bought the full front panel protector.

I hate that protector, it's a piece of crap to install.

 

[brettchalupa]

Why is there DLC for SSD on day one?

Either make the game $14.99 with that content or wait a few months to release it.

Edit: Peacewalker is great on the Vita, as others have said.

 

[imjust1n]

Any body that lives in the chicagoland can you tell me if youre able to buy the 32GB memory cards?

I dont want to buy from Amazon because im getting the vita tonight and want everything ready.

 

[tch]

Despite all of the tales of the let-down of opening the charging dock, I was still pretty crestfallen when I plopped the damn thing on my desk with no cord.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I think I'm going to get my games at Target and my memory card and case at TRU. Glad I didn't just grab them while I was at the store pre-ordering the other night.

 

[ReconPeon]

I added you Brett, my ID is ReconPeon, so anyone feel free to add me as well.
And yea, someone needs to start a psvita id thread.

 

[patsu]

My PSN friends list is already at 99 friends. I wish Sony ups the limit to 200 or more for Vita.

Despite all of the tales of the let-down of opening the charging dock, I was still pretty crestfallen when I plopped the damn thing on my desk with no cord.

Heh heh, I had the same feeling initially. But I want to see if I can mount Vita properly on my car dashboard. So I bought one to experiment.

 

[graywolf323]

really enjoying the system so far, Hot Shots Golf is amazing as usual but I've decided to hold off buying anything else until next Tuesday so all the launch games are available and to see if there are any sales on PSP games before I spend more money

also would anyone be interested in buying my First Edition bundle case? I've decided it's a bit too bulky for my taste, good thing I already imported that Hori hard pouch

 

[Item_Screen]

Are there any stores that give gift cards or anything just for buying the Vita? I thought someone said Target gives you a $20 card with the purchase of a Vita.
