longest meme ever
still funny though
That implies theres old vita units out there.
Kotaku has a tendency to over sensationalize their stories. Mountains out of molehills and all that.I'm confused... what does kotaku have to do with anything?
Well, it should be safer to buy in the US. After all, Japan is the beta tester for what would be a smoother US launch, haha.I'm confused... what does kotaku have to do with anything?
version 1.0 (or 1.5 or w/e it's on now) shit ain't perfect, and from what it looks like the OS seems entirely different from xmb stuff.
Never buy day 1. Especially handhelds these days. Price drop before holiday 2012 seems pretty likely.
I don't actually know the validity of the story yet, but I do know when I see someone trying to spin it.
Oh god, 10/10.
That implies theres old vita units out there.
Yes, that someone is kotaku. You seem very eager to believe them even though the article contradicts itself. It says that PSVita freezes and can't shutdown and then it explains it's only happens with a specific game and it can shutdown. It also says that PS Vita can't start but then explains that the user might have done something wrong and that the handheld might just be on standby mode. It also uses as source youtube videos... lol
So usual kotaku bullshit that some people will do anything to defend for their own reasons.
The Vita has freezing issues!!
C'mon everybody: mass histeria!!
DJ Mizuhara mentioned plugging the USB charger cable in the base. i was on a train so had no power - so wasn't sure what the point would be.
But there we have it - hit power on with the cable in the base and it came on as normal. A bit crappy and almost certainly a weird firmware issue which i duly logged in the official complaints thread
Both of those are correct.You mean that holding down the power button for 20 seconds doesn't work or that normal shutdown doesn't work? Because if it's the second it's a bullshit "problem" I still face with my PS3 and I don't give a crap about it. It's usually from game bugs so it's happens sometimes.
You do NOT have to wait for the battery to drain. That is bullshit. You can hold down the power button until the unit powers off just like the PSP and, really, like all Apple devices.But you could at least use the actual systems to play games or take out the battery to reset it instead of having to wait for it to entirely drain.
Has there been a (early model) Sony gaming system that hasn't had system-killing flaws? PS1, PS2, PS3, now the Vita... did the PSP have anything that could bork it? Can't recall.
Also, this can probably be resolved with firmware. The 3DS had a lot of crashing issues when I first picked it up. It would very often just throw up a black screen with an error forcing me to restart. It hasn't occurred for a while, however, so it's clear that the problem has been somewhat addressed.What are you on about? This is hardly system-killing flaws, in most cases hard reset solves the problem. I'm sorry, nothing will ever beat X360.

Most of those videos show people failing to hold the button for the proper amount of time. It does take longer than you'd expect, but it does work.
If you could, please provide me a video showing that, with the Vita that is.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=33560978#post33560978I assume this has to do with that other vita thread, but I couldn't find the post in question. Does someone have a link to it?
This is the same thing with the PSP. If you botch a pandora battery during setup, you cannot power it up with the battery. You'd have to power it up with the charger and then stick the battery in and unplug the charger and it works. That's probably why they hid the battery this time. Maybe someone can find a way to make pandora's battery #2, lol.
The entire storys hokum, SCE UK PR boss David Wilson said today.
The PS Vita has had a terrific launch and sold in large numbers. Were annoyed with these stories, because we cant find any evidence of widespread glitches.
The stories even said that Sony has issued an apology for PS Vita glitches, which simply isnt true theres an apology on our Japanese website for people who are having trouble getting through to our technical help line, but thats it.
And theres a page showing standard procedures for powering the PS Vita on and off, which has been on our site since before the launch, which has been presented in some news stories as a means of solving the alleged glitches.
So these people are calling the technical help line for no reason?theres an apology on our Japanese website for people who are having trouble getting through to our technical help line, but thats it

:lol
Hope these hardware and software kinks get ironed out.
well, most new hardware launches face some kind of issues. I guess makes the 2 month wait worth.... somehow if the fix those issues, that is.
Two contrasts in this thread:
1. People claiming the problem is more widespread than it appears or...
2. People citing the source as a reason to believe there is no problem.
Who is worse? I'll go with the latter.
