Same feeling exactly. Vita and 3DS

Same feeling exactly. Vita and 3DS
Yes, Near has similar concepts but does it differently. If you update your location manually, it will record your distance travelled since the last known location. This is presented as a series of black footprints on the radar.
If you set Near to update automatically, it will do the same distance calculation automatically. These will appear as *white* footprints on the radar.
But there is no coins to earn. The system keeps track of the stats, waiting for other games to use I suppose.
Yes, I think the fun comes from the mini-games. I read that they are going to release T@G and other mini-games in SCEE Vita launch. Hopefully more developers use GPS in clever ways. The upcoming Gust game is said to use some 3G/GPS concepts. No details so far.
Yes, Near also supports 3rd party games. As in any game can use Near to post/exchange/trade items, and interact with other players.
EDIT:
Vita does have solid and innovative platform concepts, but I think Sony has yet to deliver the upper layers. I think those StreetPass games you mentioned deliver the goods/benefits very well, much better than Near sitting pretty gathering stats.
Hope to see more Near apps, or even a revamped Home for PS3 and Vita.
I think the key differences are the time shift, and the dynamic discovery range. Near is meant to work even if the players are not at the same place at the same time. The Near servers remember who're at the same place for the past say... 24 hours.

Lumines or Rayman? CHOOSE!

What are you talking about? You don't need to format your memorycard to switch accounts. You can download Japanese demo's on the same memory card as your American demo's but you can only play them when logged into your Japanese account (and vice versa).
Anyone have experience with this? It's on the top of my list of "things that are important".
Edit; Well, above post helps.
And it's still $5 more than the official vita AC. ($19.99 for the HP, $14.99 for the Sony, both at Amazon) I was hoping for a cheaper solution.
I say Rayman.

I think ....and I can't confirm, that if you transfer them from your PSP to your PS3 then you can transfer them to your Vita.
There is an option (I believe) in the Vita Content Manager to transfer PSP "Other data".

Does anyone know about the customizing options when you are playing a PS1 game via remote play?
I would like to know if it is 100% that you can make the rear touchpad L2 and R2.
I would really like to stream across Abe's Odysee, I absolutely love that game, but it was not very good on the PSP as you really needed L2/R2 and the custom options were naff.

Near works fine for me - I'm in Ottawa on a WiFi Vita... You don't need 3G for Near...
edit: beaten... badly...
Can anybody comment on how some of the PSP games look on the Vita?
I purchased Persona 3 Portable yesterday and I'm sad to say that it doesn't look that great (even with Bilinear Filtering). However, I've been told that Tactics Ogre and Half-Minute Hero look really excellent.

Lumines is a fantastic game, but I'd say Rayman (which is also fantastic) would be great for showing off the system, that artwork would look gorgeous on the OLED.
If you want ear candy (great music) then get lumines
Eye candy? get Rayman
me? Rayman.

Building off this....can anyone comment on the "PSP Color-space" option when running PSP games on the Vita?
I'm not quite sure what that does (is it better to have it turned on?)

Late to the news but I see in the OP that Brave Story is incompatible with the Vita
Fuck that, I purchased it right before it was de-listed from PSN after Game Republic closed just so I could play it on the Vita
Someone get me a magazine rack!!

Sorry I cancelled my other order and made a new with the code.
I only got to play a little bit last night but I'll try to play some more tonight. My PSN is nya_08 if you want to add me.We really need to get some people logging into the Hot Shots Golf servers...every lobby is completely empty!

I was hoping you were gonna say your PSN name was "Ken"
That would have been awesome.

I was on last night.
Someone stood on top of the fountain and said "Anyone NEOGAF". I said "Yes!" but then they left without responding. I was so excited... and then so sad...
So I went to the other lobby and slid down the railing thingies by myself for half an hour and went to sleep.
I joined PSN late so I'm sure it was taken a long time ago. :x
Totally worth it. The game is very replayable and always fun to go back to. I actually purchased it twice (PS3 + Vita). It's that good.

There's free shipping to Belgium. I think the 35c is due to slightly higher sales tax.
Even better.
LOL. Poor frequency !
Has someone tried downloading it onto the PS3, and moving it on to their Vita?
So last night I signed up for the 3G to get my SSD (oh, loving my FEB Vita so far - awesome). There is no mention whatsoever of the SSD+DLC or second month being free.
I'm starting to wonder if I missed something (i.e. promo code) in the process. Anyone have similar/different experience?

The voucher will be made available to you on PSN after your first month of 3G dataplan.

Word on the street is you get the game AFTER 30 days from the time of sign up for your data plan.

Thank you Amazon France ^_^. I used the code they gave me for the Pre Order box on a new order and got Vita + 8gig Card + Pre-Order Box for 223. Down from the 252 it was before.
That works out at £185 so I think I win?

I downloaded pretty much every PSP game I own off PSN and Brave Story was the only one the Vita couldn't see with content manager
must be some kind of new glass that is not Gorilla glass?
Mine says "Not Yet Dispatched", I don't expect it to be sent until Monday, maybe Tuesday.
Has yours been processed or dispatched, or are you just asking?
Are Amazon giving gift cards to every order without the preorder pack?
If so, is it only a France thing at the moment?
Anyone else?
I noticed it on my friend's Vita when I tried it this morning. It's irksome, and probably worth a trade-in if he can.
Wha...? You have to explain this please. Free roaming avatar lobbies?
By the way guys, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to speak about this website here? I apologize if I shouldn't.
Anyways, I found this website called lockerz, which I'm sure most of you know about it already. Not going to explain everything but I managed to get a 3G launch bundle for $240 last week, free shipping, no tax. I was scared that it would be a scam site but from what I've read, it's legit.

Yeah I assume it's only Amazon France. They had a Vita + 8gig order up that was supposed to include the Pre Order box but had no option to pick it. So today they sent me a coupon for it. Seems it messed up somehow and the total discount for the full order worked out at 93.65.

I'd say Rayman just because I'm a little burnt out on Lumines and have it on my iPhone...not the best port but it gets the job done.

reading through the CAG thread on next weeks b2g1 free deal on Vita games....
it's looking like a setup for massive disappointment, as there are some key titles (namely Rayman and Lumines) that don't seem to be carried in stores.
Also, Lumines is not anywhere on the Best Buy website (can anyone find it?) and Rayman is not being sold in stores at Best Buy.
edit:
Also looks like no Katamari or Shinobido in Targets either.
