Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Damn, Mutant Blobs Attack couldn't install. Heard about this problem for the Stardust bundle, but not this.

Re-downloading. Hope its not fucked :/

The sheer amount of content at launch though is... unparalleled. Like seriously. Retail, PSN games, free AR stuff... lordy me.

argh fuckit. Redownloading didn't work. Now what?
 
well, im going to buy a vita and join you all! But i cannot decide if I wanted to get a 16gb card or a 32gb card. Help me decide GAF! 16g and a game or 32g card!

I'd go for 32 (if they released them in EU) that way you are as future proof as possible and don't have to carry more cards if 16 is not enough.

How easy is it to delete a digital game off of a Vita? Is there any way to back up saves from PSN/SEN games and just delete the game?

Assuming you're someone like me who has a big downloading habit on PS3 but also purchases retail, I would suggest 32gb.

Does anyone know of any Vita system reviews? Like a nice HD video that shows off the screen and stuff? I need moar hype.
 
When I had a game that wouldnt' install (Lumines wouldn't, it kept locking up my system --- this was a physical copy BTW) I entered recovery mode (you can do so by holding the power button for 10 seconds) and "repaired the database".

After that everything worked fine and installed with no problem

Firstly, bigger is always better but it also depends on your plan. If you plan on buying retail, I would go 16, if you plan on going some/all digital, go 32gb.

I'm going to try and hold out one week on a 16 gig and live with the four. That extra money will be going to a few games at the target sale.

Seriously, this launch is wonderful.

I'm with Chase and they're awesome! Then again, I also have a student checking accpount..

They're one of the big banks that caused the economy to fall apart by artificially inflating real estate prices; and then the working class--people like myself and many other GAF'ers--had to bail them out of bankruptcy with our tax dollars. So, no, they're not awesome.

Sorry, just seeing the names of one of the big banks makes my blood boil.

For what its worth, my plan was to buy mostly digital so I got the 32GB. Then all tje retail sales happened. I got 5 launch titles and only one is digital.

I'm dying here with this 4gb card. As soon as I get paid I need to get a 16gb.

I'm actually already itching for a 64GB one. I know the 29GB in the 32GB card will fill up fast with demos (which I likely will delete) but I'm still going to be putting maybe 1 more PSP game and trying to reserve space for PS1 games. We got another great update coming though. So many games I don't know what to do with them.

Once i get my vita tomorrow i will be postng videos of the hardware and my games in HD with correct exposure and focus i promise, i'm sick of all these videos being so bad(mostly), i'll put my 60d to work.
 
Sorry, tell me one more time, how big are the games? I think I'm going to pick up a system tomorrow, and I'm thinking I'll just pick up a 4 until I see a good sale in the future.
 
Going to bed now, sleeping and then to work... and ~3 hours later at work I will receive a call that my Vita has arrived and then I have to sit 6 more GODDAMN HOURS at work!! Life can be so cruel!

Fuck. I was dead-set in picking up a Vita (mainly for persona 4) but now I think I might pick up a new unlocked phone instead. My current phone is super laggy and has an ass web browser. I guess I'll just test drive the Vita/phone and decide. I already have a 3DS so I guess I don't really need a Vita, I suppose.

Or they start charging you a $50 fee every month because their terms changed without telling you.

Needless to say I've joined a credit union since.

Bro fist, me to :)

To be honest if you dont really need on the go internet browsing, then just pick up the vita. Unless you really need it for school/job I would just wait for either the new android devices or the new iphone.

just came back from toys r us. And I'm delighted to find out that the gift cards are stackable and it to be used to get yet another gift card.

so basically I made out with 3 deals 3 games and 3 accessories and 3 20 dollar gift cards.

Going to use the third card for Unit 13.

Can you easily store all your digital PSP Vita games on your PS3? I mean for if you have a larger collection of digital games than your memory card can hold and it should be less trouble to transfer them from PS3 than to re-download.

Any of you know if GAME will have any 16GB cards tomorrow? It would really make things easier if they did!

Earlier in the thread someone said they were sold out. Completely sold out. Also don't go to game expecting Lumines or Rayman, they are not stocking Ubisoft's titles.
 
My advice for anyone picking up a Vita tomorrow:

Buy Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

Seriously. Do it. It is amazing.

It doesn't matter that the game is on a portable system or that it wasn't developed by Naughty Dog. It seriously looks and plays exactly like an Uncharted game. In fact, I honestly think it is better in every way (graphics, story, gameplay, etc.) than the first Uncharted.

Does anyone else think their screen looks a little grainy-ish? Near the bottom left area. Most noticeable on the home screen for me.
