a quick Wipeout pic I just took.
Love this game.
Quoted for size.
Finally got around to opening Lumines today. God damn I forgot what a great game it is. The visuals in this one are crazy.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of taking a screenshot about 40-ish? minutes into a game. It freezes the controls for about 4 seconds, causing me to lose. Wonderful.

I know that, but they can at least keep the UI consistent. What's the point of not doing that? Seriously?
not sure if old but facebook is working again
It does ! 8^)
So does Flickr now ! No more crashing when I view my own uploaded image.
Yeah, that happens with all screenshots. Its frustrating as it is to hit the home button and start at the same time during gameplay, but then it locks the controls while its saving

Weirdly enough, you still have control sometimes after taking a screenshot in Shinobido 2.
O.k. Well Taco Bell failed me again...so I think I'm just gonna say fuck it and go get one tonight...
What's everyone's opinion on the best game to get right away? I can't go nutty and pick up everything so I want something that will be an enjoyable first title.
I'll be getting stardust, so can cross that off your list

This, all of it, haha.
Got a Thrustmaster case on order although mine's coming from Amazon so is quite easily to deal with should it be delayed again or whatever. Really hope it's not as it looks like the best case option by a stretch to me and I need a place to store my Vita even at home fast really.
As for games, I picked up 5 retail games and 2 PSN games at launch and still feel like I want more. I still want Ridge Racer despite Scamco LOL and I also wouldn't mind checking out Virtua Tennis 4 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
Hoping we start seeing some bomba pricing in a week or two.

It depends on your taste. For me, I love the Uncharted series so Golden Abyss was a given, but Lumines if you like puzzle games, UMvC3 if you like fighters, Rayman if you want one of the best platformers this gen and Wipeout if you like racing games. I've also heard great things about Hot Shots Golf and Ninja Gaiden but dont own those.
Man, I still keep getting more and more people on Near. Now I'm at 97 people found just 2 minutes ago. Yesterday I was at around 91, the day before , 81...
Also, I'm loving Everybody's Golf
What I want now is for the Japanese PSN to update and put Escape Plan out there. I wanna play it

Yeah I should have expanded on that, lol
I do love me some uncharted, and I already own Rayman...is the load time In Wipeout as painful as it's made out to be?

I'm debating getting some Dre HD Solo Beats because the cord on my current set of headphones is ridiculous. What do you guys think? Should I get something else?
Wipeout is pure sex on this thing. I am quickly becoming obsessed with it.

FINALLY got one yesterday.
Best hand held ever imo.
Part of the reason I like it so much is kinda sad though. It's like a graveyard of PSP games sent to die. All those games that flopped due to piracy and shitty ass controls.
The vita makes most of them look better, load faster, AND control better though!
That right analog to control the fucking camera works wonders. I'm sorely tempted to pick up Unite again...but I heard they were going to release another more optimized version?
I just picked up 3rd birthday before knowing how to change the settings. Looked ugly and couldn't control shit. Once I found out you have touch and the screen to enter settings and I fiddled with it again, the game was so much better.
Now I REALLY wish they would expand that PSP library since the games are already out there. And I REALLY hope they get PSOne compatibility soon.

What are people's thoughts on screen protectors?
Never used them before. They always look really fiddly to apply and I worry about a loss of screen responsiveness or making the system ugly by essentially putting stickers allover it (even though they're clear, I'll still know).
I fucking love this system naked but I do shit myself about screen scratches and even dust irritates me. Does a protector make the dust issue easier to manage?
What's the best one to grab at the moment? Hori? Thinking of adding one to my Thrustmaster case order.

NOPE, not at all. Its like a 30 second load time now after patching it seems and its not like you're constantly loading between screens or anything, only before races. I click the race, put down my Vita for a second to check GAF and boom its loaded up.
I'm hoping Sony surprises the shit out of me and offers some magical TV Out/Controller dock for it but I'm not getting my hopes up. I just want to know what the hell it does.

I am usually a screen protector whore but I didnt get one for my Vita...the screen is too nice to cover IMO. I just keep a small microfiber cloth with it in the case and wipe it after I use it. Screen protectors are nice if you actually get them on PERFECTLY but if you get any dust on it or a bubble it will bother you for ETERNITY. Going by this thread the hori are good ones but the best in the business are Zagg IMO. They are lifetime guaranteed and they are scratch resistant as well.

Got the content manager to work. Had to install it on a different computer. Complete BS that I have to have an internet connection for it to work, thought...

the hori glossy screen protector is really good. it applies very easy if you can figure out what the image is showing. You can pretty much get a good clean no bubble protection with it.
this is the one i got.

The Hori one is kind of a pain in the ass to get on perfectly

Sorry I was on the phone, I was hosting but left promptly after nothing happened I will be hosting right now.
Pretty much the same here. They are a little longer than they should be, but personally it doesn't bother me. If I'm at home, I'll just take a peek at GAF while I wait. It would probably bother me if reloads took that long, but thankfully it's just the one load before the race that takes awhile.

The CAD MH310'S and don't look back. Normally 100 MSRP. The sound of the boost pads in Wipeout is almost haunting. Best studio headphones I've ever owned.
Hosting that KZ Liberation game now. Will only sit in here for about 5 minutes and then bounce.

I went with the HORI and thought it was very easy to apply. The instructions are a bit unclear but there's a youtube video that makes it pretty easy to understand. Just make sure you put enough pressure on it while pulling out the sheet or it may shift a bit.

Excellent news, then it'll be in my shopping cart. Thanks
You'll be happy and all this coming from someone who never really played Wipeout before. It will def be the game you pull out to show off your Vita.
That's going to be for Vita Go where you can only buy DD games.
The Story mode is short, and then you got Survival and Time Attack. The Online is VERY basic as well with just normal fights against random opponents or friends. You can play with AR, your own fighters, see each others picture and download others characters.
The move lists are short, there's no fancy systems, though it comes with weapons, grabs, while each leg and arm is mapped to a button like Tekken. It got fancy styles like ballet, zombie to the more traditional of Kung Fu and Muay Thai.
If its worth the $30? That's surely up to the individual. The only thing that can hold onto you is the customization but I don't think it'll last for long even though. Buy a PSP fighter instead. It's not bad by any means, it's average and I have had fun with it.

I really hope they get PSone support working soon; just got RE2 and RE3 for free from PS+
You're mean.
Shit in a bag and I'm sure Gamestop will buy it and try to sell it for a profit.
I think it's one of the best episodes of the saga. It has an incredible track design and the multiplayer is awesome *_*

They offered me 5 (five) dollars on release day for 4GB, could be less now. But yes, yes they do.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Fuck. Lumines. What have I done. Three hours. Fuck! My eyes! Dolphins jumping in the background, what sounds like Rihanna samples, my thumb reminding me I am flesh and blood. Jesus christ. FENTON.

I just ran my first zone level...I'm completely mind fucked by those visuals.
Wipeout loading times are 30-40 seconds per event. If you restart an event, the loading is quick. Haven't timed it, but it's only a few seconds.
UMvC3 has some hefty loading when the game first boots, but once you're in the game, the loading invisible to you as it's hidden behind the end of round screens, like the PS3/360 versions.
Hot Shots Golf takes a little while to boot up, but again, once in the game, the loading is hidden from the player.

Did each of those 3 sessions last an uninterrupted 60 hours?
If so, then that's perfectly normal.
Hahahaha yes the Zome events are incredibles! And this is only the beginning! Can't wait for the DLC!

I heard that it's supposed to show on the store tomorrow. If you already downloaded it before it was taken down, you can go into your download list and get it.
