Support NeoGAF

[Baconsammy]

I actually think that the people (like me) waiting until next week are the insane ones.

No we're not. 100 for a case that "smells like farts", 3G in a 4G world, and a game people are desperately already trying to pawn isn't what I'd call sane (to me). My decision to wait for Wifi is easy. I'm enjoying the youtube videos of people that saw value in the FEB though. It makes the wait easier.

Yap, I love the the protector on the backtouch. I can see how someone could scratch it from rubbing/sliding it across a dusty surface.

Exactly. I wanted to be extra safe just in case.

 

[patsu]

I didn't say that, though, did I? I said you'd have to be blind to not know they were coming. Whether you act on it or prepare for it is your own call, and however you choose neither makes you dumb or blind. But recent history tells you exactly what's going to happen as far as these deals are concerned. It wasnt a judgement on your decision. Relax.

Same thing. I repeat. You don't have to be blind to miss the Target deal. I seldom shop at Target, and don't track any Target deals.

Only found out by chance. I can easily miss it.

how is it a 4G world? Jeez sometimes people need a dose of reality.

Went to 5 stores today looking for the Cradle. Only came away with it from Fry's. Shame they only had 5 games to choose from I wanted to pick up Lumines as well.

My original comment, which apparently started this whole thing, was not meant to make anyone feel stupid for buying a bunch of games at launch. What surprises me far more than someone being willing to spend all that money is that there are actually that many games truly worth buying (let alone at full price). I understand that everyone else isn't like me, and I'm fine with that, I just personally cannot relate at all.

It was just a simple opinion that got blown way out of proportion.


It's moving fast. All of this will probably be swallowed up by impressions within the next hour.

I wasn't talking about your post. I think what you said is fair. You were just commenting on someone's photo. A fair comment. There is like no situation where I would buy like 11 games at once. How do you even have the time to play all that? So I don't understand it either.

But um... I don't want any part in this anymore so... yup.
I knew posting that was a mistake.

Is there a trick to getting the back touchpad to work - do you have to turn it on somehow? Mine isn't responding.

No, it just works. What are you trying to use it for?

Once again you've either willingly chosen to ignore what I said or you just missed the point entirely. Either way, I'm done with this tangent since it's going absolutely nowhere.

Yeah, youre right.
If they packed in a decent game with the FEB, I would have preordered that one for sure...fart case and all.
Right now, Im going with 3G bundle and find it hard to justify an extra 50 for what, imo, amounts to less.
Im just insanely jealous of anyone who got it early. I dont like them and I want them to go away

I don't think he's pointing out the Target sale specifically. It's not unreasonable at this point in time that someone doesn't know about the Target ad. Afterall, it's not officially released yet and is just a scan.

What he's talking about is that people should have expected a sale at launch though. You'd have to be blind to not expect it, or at least the possibility. It happens all the time. Heck, normal game releases go on sale at launch all the time. Blu Ray movies are on sale at release all the time. There's just a pattern of sales that makes it easy to predict the likelihood that it will happen at some store, not just a specific store.

 

[Baconsammy]

Yes, you're right, cellphone providers (including the one Sony chose as their exclusive carrier for Vita) aren't pushing 4G hard. The biggest and most welcome news about the iPad 3 outside of its awesome screen is that it's going 4G. If you're going to release brand new tech now why wouldn't you support 4G and 3G?

 

[popsicle_sundays]

First boot up of Uncharted it was just a black screen, I shut it down, booted it back up and re-inserted the game card and it played, I hope this won't be a constant issue :/

I have a question about copying PSP games, why am I not able to copy peace walker over? It's just giving me an error saying unable to copy parts over

EDIT - Make sure you're signed into PSN (doesn't do it automatically) and also activate Games. Now it's copying

I just took out my Skinomi screen protector, and now see that it does not come with a lint free cloth.

Argh! Guess I'll stop by Radio Shack later to get one.

What else did Fry's have in stock?

Did you get the dry tech full body protector? Impressions?

When did you download Peace Walker? I think some (or all?) games were updated and you'll need to re-download them prior to transferring.

PSN store runs better on Vita than on the PS3


It's silky smooth and the DLs are super quick

 

[Salaadin]

I wonder if Amazon will match the Target deal. I seem to remember them having a similar B2G1 for the 3DS near its launch.
Closest Target is 40 mins away and I really dont feel like going there.

Maybe because 4g is know to be a battery killer?

 

[anddo0]

Nope! Congrats! This system is worth having early.

I actually think that the people (like me) waiting until next week are the insane ones.

Lol! This thing was on my mind all day today. I called a few GS at launch, and they said they were only selling to reserves. I caved for a few reasons. 1) a game I was going to purchase (UMvsC3) I can now get for free thanks to the Traget B2G1 Free. 2) My order total form Amazon was $521, getting the FEB $546... $25? screw it.

I was going to do the same. I've watched a ton of Youtube videos, live streams.. I NEED this thing NOW! I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.. Waiting until next Wednesday at this point, became too much for me.

 

[BFIB]

Nemss,

Did you get the dry tech full body protector? Impressions?

No, it is just the screen protector for the front. Its like the Hori one though, that covers the entire front.

I wasn't aware they had a full body one, or I would have went w/ that. Other than that, I really can't say, since I'm not going to apply it w/o wiping the screen down first. Since I can't look and not touch.

 

[popsicle_sundays]

Just edited my post, I was not signed in to PSN on the Vita and I didn't activate games once signed in, copying over now

There are people who don't care about these details because they can afford to, or they need to get a game or two now. Doesn't mean they are blind or dumb. I was pointing out specifically about his tone and choice of words. Please keep your judgment and way of life to yourselves. Sharing info is of course greatly appreciated. That is all.

 

[UberTag]

Is there a proper fitting protector for the touch pad?

The Barrier Chief rear touchpad protector is the only one I'm aware of that's specifically molded to fit the touchpad.

 

[BruiserBear]

Ummm... ok oh no...what's going on?

I thought I put my Vita into sleep mode for a few minutes, and I'm trying to get it to come back on, but nothing's happening. I'm pressing the power button, the PS button in the corner, but nothing's happening. The blue light is on under the PS symbol, but thats it. wtfffff

Sounds like they've got a really common bug on their hands. You're like the fifth person to day to report that happening.

 

[Shadow2222]

I'm loving this device. While some of these early games are a little gimmicky with their usage of the features, I am actually loving it! When Uncharted made me (not a story spoiler, just don't want to spoil the neat factor)

Spoiler

hold the back of the Vita (the camera) up to the light

, it made me smile.

Can you run custom music in the background? On PS3 it closes the mp3 player.

The Gamestation demo unit suffered the same fate today. They had to hard reset it.

What are the chances that Ubisoft patches/updates Lumines and Rayman for Online Multiplayer?

It may be on a different server just cross talking.
One thing though all my PS3 downloads are quick.

My favourite touch control in Uncharted is drawing the path I want to climb then just watching Drake take that path.

I'm sorry, what now? I follow Apple news pretty closely and as far as I can tell Apple haven't even formally announced the iPad 3 let alone commented on the screen or data network. As for why you wouldn't support 4G yet... maybe because large parts of Europe won't even start to roll it out until next year?

[B.O.O.M]

Exactly. I wanted to be extra safe just in case.

I missed the initial conversation so did you just apply the extra screen protector for the back?

 

[Baconsammy]

Wall Street Journal confirmed. You won't hear a thing about it from Apple directly until they officially announce it first week of March. Same as always.

How was the signup process? Did they mention anything about the free month after the month you paid for runs out?

Careful with confirmation bias, the device has been out for months, I doubt a "common" bug slipped through.

That'll be interesting if true. Surely people in Europe/UK markets aren't going to be happy to be buying 4G hardware in a country that doesn't support it yet.

It's an issue reported widely on launch day in Japan. And now in the US. They've definitely got an issue, which hopefully gets addressed soon. I'd be interested to know how many people in Japan that experienced the problem at launch still have it routinely happen.

 

[Chiggs]

Hot Shots Golf and Rayman are the best launch games. Soooo addictive.

 

[Hawk269]

Well this topic sure did turn to crap.

lol...the Vita was not even a remote thought for me, but as the launch approached I started to get interested, came in this morning because I had just heard about the first edition bundle, but my enthusiasm has gone down a bit with all the talk of issues at whatnot.

You would think with it already being launched in Japan since last year they would of ironed out some of the issues some of you are having. Hopefully things get better for those of you having some issues. I think I might wait for a while now to see how things turn out..hopefully some of you will be reporting back with more impressions and hopefully Sony will pull their head out of their ass and fix some of the issues really soon for some of you.

 

[Mrbob]

Are we talking 4G garbo again? Enjoy the extra price for the 4G model (above and beyond the ridiculous 3G mark up price more than likely) and limited service area. 4G service coverage is spotty nation wide.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

How was the signup process? Did they mention anything about the free month after the month you paid for runs out?

It basically goes like this

You go to the sign up on Vita and get the 2 ID's you get when you are trying to register there. Like a SIM or CDIID or something stupid like that. I left that open and opened the browser on PC. I signed up and entered my info and bought a 15 dollar plan and when you're done, there should be an option in your account settings or plan settings to check on promotions. It will say that you have a promotion to redeem or something like that. You then check that and it applies it. What it means is that it's not active until you use the first 250mb of data and then it kicks in just incase you go too far. The SSD code will be in my email within the month

That or the day before retail. What you REALLY want to know (or so I'd assume given where this is asked) is if it'll be Vita supported at the same time or not, and no one knows.

 

[Baconsammy]

Netflix app up yet?
