I'm betting many of the freezes are caused by 3G/wifi (failed)connections.

Yeah, nice cover. Shame about the game having a beyond shitty framerate when demoed.

I honestly don't know. They're very, very tough and that makes them longer than they would be otherwise. Still, I'd say at the very least more than 12 hours on the easiest difficulty just for the campaign. And you'd still have the Ninja trials, dozens of challenges to test your combat skills. For an action game it's definitely on the longer side.

I had a minor 5 second freeze (and my only hiccup thus far) while it was going from some random 3G back to wifi. It's done this many times already but this one time, it hung for a few secs. I've had no HW lockups of any kind though. No stuck pixels and a perfect screen.

How do you earn Chrowns in HSG?
There's an |OT| for the game. It's in there. Go there and stop posting about the game here! (I mean that in a nice way - this board moves FAR too fast to try and talk about specific games in any detail reliably)
I've seen a fair number of people posting here saying they couldn't wake up their Vita after it went in stand by.
I haven't froze myself yet, but I've had the OS act weird on me (everything was moving really slow), which made me turn off the system to fix it.
I don't think so. So many amazing games for launch, it is probably a first in history. I mean shit we got Lumines, Uncharted, Rayman, Golf. That is better than most handhelds had a year after release imo.
I wanted one ever since I saw that escape plan trailer at e3. That will probably be the first game I get. I hope it delivers.
Thanks for the opinions. I can't wait to pick one up and join you guys next week.

Yeah it's quite a long game. If your not used to this kind of game the campaign will take you around 15-20 hours I would of thought. This is taking into account the many deaths you will encounter and possibly tearing your hair out with some of the bosses lol.
If you have the skills I'd say around 10 hours.
There's definitely something I would change such having folders and a seperate place for saves but so far the OS is really nice to use. It's way better than I expected it to be.
I bought 2 DD Vita games and got Uncharted for free but I will be trading in little deviants fairly soon, I have a ton of PSP and PS1 games I would love to add to the system though.

Awesome! Worked like a charm, and lined the screen protector up perfectly w/ the bottom, with a little overhead now at the top.
Way better than this:

The Skinomi had to constantly be wet w/ the adhesive, which I understand. But there's no way you can lay the shield on without getting adhesive into parts on the front you don't want to get that wet. Plus, it had a lot of bubbles. I'm not pro at putting screen protectors on, so it very well could have been operator error. But I found the official Sony ones to be a lot easier.
Damn, that's awesome. I'd love to get all the games, but I know for a fact I'll mostly be playing only FIFA. Haha I myself am getting FIFA, Uncharted and Lumines or Rayman from the B2G1 Free from Target.

In this review, the reviewer said:
Doesn't the first tap mean you're opening the Live Area of said game/app? How is that not obvious? Sigh. Overall good review though, but I just hate it when people are misinformed.
[edit: haha, second comment on the article said exactly the same.]

Guess what I'll spent most of my time on after the initial review process? FIFA. We should just add each other to our friend lists, so we can play matches against each other. Write me a PM.

Hopefully that will come in a future update. Forgot to ask you mate what games did you get? Be interested to hear your thoughts again as your one of the only gaffers that has come off the honeymoon period now.
As many times as you need too, to the same machine (ps3/Vita).

Just saw Giant Bomb's WipEout 2048 review. It's pretty disappointing to hear some of Jeff's complaints given that this is the only launch game I plan on buying (not because I wouldn't enjoy other ones but more because I'm trying to exercise some restraint) but our opinions often differ so hopefully I'll enjoy it more than he did.

Alright gaf, i have $300-350 right now and i was wondering what the best deal was for that price. It has to include the vita, a memory card (Preferably 8 gig), one game and a case.

so, I used the little mobile connect ( or whatever its called) application on the Vita to sign up for 3g..
Am I screwed? It said nothing about a promo/free game/free month

Can someone point me to the website (I think it was for Sony's music service) where I can input the code and add funds to my account. I don't have PS3 with me, and i want to do it now, not when I get a Vita.

My opinion differs a lot from his. It's pretty damn good if not as good as HD/Fury minus the tracks which are coming for free to me. FREE=WIN.
Awesome. Even more awesome if had co op enabled.

+1 on the NHL. Oh how I'd love a portable version. At the very least I'd like to be able to remote play the ps3 version.
If you don't need a 3g model, the wifi version at target with the $20 free gift card plus the rest (8GB card and a game) would be the best option in the US I think

Ninja Gaiden games are well known for the level of difficult as well, so while there may be 12 hours of gameplay, for the unprepared that can easily be much longer. LOL!
Makes me wonder how well the intu-aim feature on Golden Abyss is

Oh yes. NHL would be amazing on this.
Skate would be an awesome Vita game too.
I'm having a hard time considering lumines. The demo is fun and the music was cool.. but what makes it worth $40? I figured it would be the game my wife could get into and while showing her it she said "what's so special about it? It looks like Tetris. Is it expensive?"
And I kind of feel the same way...

Unit 13 demo info
The demo gives you access to one of the game’s Direct Action missions and includes all six operatives and online leaderboard support
co-op multiplayer video walkthrough next week right here on the PlayStation Blog.
It works perfect in HSG. Love the interactive feel of it in that one.

WTF? Who kidnapped Sony?
$29.99
It's good, but not terribly intuitive at a first glance. It wasn't really intuitive for me in the first place as it was sometimes counteracting my aim with the analog stick...but I didn't know about the gyro aiming at that point. Now, I just use the analog stick to get my aim near an enemy and use the gyro to easily fine tune my shot to their heads. Works wonders.
Yeah I'm trying it out in HSG. Won't really use it much, but it's super fast and super cool.

Am guessing amazon is the best way to order the wifi/3g bundle right?

This is great news. I'm certainly not sold on the game at this point (I think it looks pretty generic) but maybe this demo will change my mind. If nothing else I'm just happy to be able to experience some dual analog aiming on the Vita in a game other than Uncharted. I'm really curious to see how it will hold up compared to consoles.
