Ok...well that's fine, but I am not THAT eager to have one like right now, I can simply wait, and save money.

Sweet. Hopefully it's possible. I couldn't find where to do it.

Someone else compared it to a strong cigarette odor and that's pretty accurate for me.

What's the best Vita case, besides the one that comes with the FEB?
I'm wondering this too. Best Buy didn't have a single Vita accessory out yet.

Got mine today, it's by far the best portable hardware I've gotten my hands on, whether from a physical hardware to a software interface standpoint, too bad they don't have netflix up yet, compared to the PSP it's basically night and day in terms of how much thought they've put into it.

Not that I can see.
You can set privacy zones though. Near allows you to configure up to 5 zones to hide your presence. You define a privacy zone by growing/shrinking a circle anywhere on Google Maps.

Besides the Thrustmaster cases, I have the Hori card case that I got off play asia. It is pretty good

Well with the amazon bundle it includes the 8GB stick ($30) and Super Stardust Delta ($10). If you were already planning to get those anyway its only $10 more to get the 3G version then buying Wifi and the other two separately, and it comes with a free month so you could consider that $10 to be that one month + the future ability just in case.
That is unless theres a better version somewhere I didn't know about.
Lol sad that I caught the reference before I opened the video lol

Damn. Where can I buy that bad boy?
yeah, mine doesn't really smell funky either. just smells like the fabric that lines the case. maybe a little bit of a glue smell. nothing terrible.

You can import from Amazon UK, but it's about $23 after the currency exchange.
Just ordered a blue one. Looks like they re-used their 3DS case design, which I liked.
The FEB case is disappointing.
I don't know what "C0-1109-2" is. The Vita error code pages on the net do not include it.
If you access Settings > System > Error History, you may be able to see a log and explanation of the error.
Uh, so I just used my Vita in complete darkness, and I noticed these strange dark shapes on the screen when it goes dark(like during fade-outs.) I'm wondering if it's some kind of weird light-bleed issue. The pattern is really erratic.
At first I thought my screen was just dirty, so I wiped it down, and then I changed media, from Hot Shots Golf to The Dark Knight Rises trailer, but the same thing happened. When the screen changes to a dark tone (like a really dark grey, almost black), I can see these black spots scattered on the screen.
Can someone else try this so that I can not think my Vita's defective?

I was hoping I'd be able to put the power cord in there too. Can't even fit the adapter in there.
thoughts on this? anyone?
If it's fairly easy to get it out (for on the go pocket use) I could see myself loving one of these things for around the house.

Welcome to the wonderful world of OLED screens. You have a normal screen.
Seriously? Ive never owned an oled device before now. It's supposed to be like this?

You should only see them in a darkened room on a black background.
So this is something that affects all oled screens? It's a bit distracting playing In the dark and seeing this.
Ah, found a pic that illustrates similalrly what I'm seeing (someone else's vita on an n4g thread):
Shinobido 2 reviews are coming in and it looks like I didn't pick wisely.
Game Informer 6.75 (Although they say the stealth bits of the game are really good, it's the action that lets it down.

Happens because of organic nature of OLED screen.

Oh, noooooo. Was looking to pick this up at Target this week. I'm going to check out a few more impressions and videos, but if anything else there's always Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus to fall back on, but I've played that so many times already >_<
(still a great game, though)

Given how good PSP games apparently look on this thing, I am seriously regretting my UMD-heavy PSP library.
Oh well, still can't wait to get it.

Don't let crappy reviews scare you. I have this preordered as well and I bet it's good enough for its price.
I couldn't care less for reviews.
Because with OLED they can't compete with koreans right now. (funny since Sony was the original inventor of OLED technology)
No. They gave out $25 credit to anyone who ordered a 3DS from them. I forgot if they matched TRU's Buy 1 Get 1 50% off sale.
Thanks. I will just wait few more days and see if they will do some discount.

It was a little different for us Canadians since our FEB came with the WiFi Vita. For an extra $50 we got the following in addition to the WiFi Vita instead of waiting a week:
Case
4GB card
Little Deviants
Uncharted GA (thanks Best Buy, other store didn't give this for free)
All that for $50 is great.

Is anyone else having trouble purchasing games from the store? It keeps saying the credit card on file isn't valid, but just an hour ago I bought Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
I got the same case and it reeked of cigarette smoke. Doused it in baking soda for a day and that took care most of the smokey odor.
I'm glad I mixed it up some at least. Either I got good PSN sales, or the UMD games were usually in LEs and had some sort of incentive to getting physically I couldn't have gotten via PSN.
That's odd, and here I was thinking I'd avoid the smelling case problem by going with Hori. Still, if Baking Soda does the trick then I guess it'll take a bath in it initially.
I thought I would like the FEB case since it looked similar to the Hori design, but it feels more like a knockoff than a competitor. The cartridge flap feels loose and flimsy, and the cartridge pockets themselves feel designed to hold something other than Vita carts. Not even being able to see which Vita cartridge is in which slot without habing to pull it out feels like a minor but still present inconvenience. Finally, there's the smell.
UMvC3 player matches are pretty laggy at the moment, even with same region searching. Hope it gets better over time.

I did purchase it. I don't have the Vita yet though...
How is the pouch? Worth the $40 or so if you really don't want anything else in there?
Can you take a picture of everything outside the box?

I just received the official Sony Vita travel case from Amazon today and it's pretty nice. It also doesn't smell like feces which is a plus.

If anyone is starved for impressions I chronicled my first 12 hours with the device here:

I swear a lot. Sorry.

Hmm, after taking a much, MUCH closer whiff, yeah, my case does smell like cigarette smoke, problem is, so do the edges of my vita now. Any way to get that out?
You guys are weird.
