Really keen on hearing about account changing. My import is (hopefully) on the way and whilst I've got a Japanese PSN account I'd be interested to hear how easy it is (or not) to download a game off the Store and then switch to my UK account to play it.
Something that, IMO, should not be a hassle...

PSP Vita seemed to be selling very smoothly at Bic in Yurakucho. 30 min lines. I'd rather have plenty of stock than a limited sale.
Playing Genso Suikoden I&II PSP right now, very smooth.

There's already been one account that resetting only takes a second. It'd be nice to get more details.

hmm.. Not seeing a huge difference, except for the colors being slightly more vibrant on the Vita.

Nice! Did you just end up wandering from store to store or did you have a game plan?

Isn't it obvious US store will be off until February? Same thing happened with with PSP launch in Japan.
Remember people already lined up once during the preorder months back. So they don't need to line up again since they can just go to the store and pick it up.
Do you set a region for your Vita when you first turn it on? Like, separately from your PSN account. And is it a 3G or Wi-Fi system?
Edit: Also yeah it could just be because Vita isn't out worldwide yet, but I wouldn't have thought that would make any difference.

The store must be down. Don't think they would IP lock.

And even i am moderately surprised
Yeah, sorry - being a dummy - of course it's looking for the VITA SPECIFIC online store, which doesn't exist
Copying over one game right now - i'm sure this isn't going to work and is going to fall in a heep , but i did get the option to -not- deactivate the link between my JPN account and the machine when i reset so i am hoping beyond hope that the factory reset creates the relationship with the card ONCE and somehow it's going to flip.
Every time you change mem card it forces a hard reset to if it does just recheck that relationship i'm hoping we are quids in

What happens with save game data on the memory card when you do this?

I know all too well about that. Just after user experiences on how tricky it all was.

Oh.
DCharlie, let me ask again - did you redownload your PSP games or moved them from your PC? I'm trying to do the latter, but get a corrupted file error.

Quite a short line at Sofmap in Denden Town around 1 pm, still took an hour until everything was paid for. And for some reason they really cranked up the heat inside. Sure it's cold outside, but it doesn't have to be 35 degrees inside.
No 16/32 GB memory cards though, that sucks.
System works like a charm though, and instant Swedish was nice.

3G is already setup for those who got the 3G model. You have 100 3g hours and 3 high speed hours. When setting up the system, just make sure you hit enable mobile carrier or whatever when it asks you to, and you are good to go. Super simple.
Okay, I really don't want to start another thread that will be construed as a Vita hate thread, but folks...
Trophy Support is stripped from used games on the PS Vita.
The only way to unlock Trophies for a used game on the Vita is by performing the following steps:
With the game card inserted into the Vita you started the game on, sign up for PSN, then start the game.
Insert the game into the other Vita you want to play the game on, sign in to the same PSN account, then start the game.
The game recognizes you as the original player and lets you earn Trophies.
This knowledge is coming from Playstation Lifestyle, which is a banned website, so I cannot link it, but if you copy paste the above three steps into Google, it should be the top hit.

This is way worse than "1 PSN per Vita" debate. I don't think Sony is this stupid to just kill the used game market, Vita would be DOA. Then again, it is in the damn manual...
It is?
So Sony is seriously doing something like this?
Wow, just wow.
Do you have any screenshots or better links, btw?
This has been posted.
Didn't people already say you have to reset the game so that you can earn trophies again with a different ID?

Well, the website mentions the following:
Also there is a link to the official Sony website:
http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/game/game_card.html
I really think something is off in translation here. I mean, start a game on one Vita, and then put the cart in another Vita? So forcefully remove the cart while Vita is running?
That is not what Sony's website says.
Someone needs to check on that, and fast.
Yes. You can earn trophies on more than one Vita, but you have to be signed into the same PSN account on both. If you want to use a different PSN account you must reset the game first. I'm assuming the player will still have their trophies saved on their PSN profile but it does something to the game itself. Seems overly complicated.

My guess it resets all the progress, so people won't have easier time farming some trophies when they get the game used.
Wouldn't this not matter anyway if the game saves to the memory card rather than the cart?
Makes me wonder what exactly this reset thingy is.
It only applies to games that save to the cartridge.
I am really surprised that this thing won't die since I debunked it this morning with text directly from Sony's site.

Don't the vita games install some data for Livearea, maybe the trophy stuff and other info is in there.
My guess is you won't be able to do that until the US PSN store launches for Vita in February.

So what are the chances of this interface... ending up on ps3 eventually?
The features will be there, I'm sure they're implemented serverside already. I don't see the UI working for a console though. At least the way it is here, they'd have to redesign some of it.
And if you stop to think about it, it makes sense. The trophies must already be present on the cart to begin with for those types of games and there must be some sort of save feature that records which trophy you've unlocked.
On the PS3, I believe trophy data is essentially saved on the PS3 HDD and later synced to PSN. With the Vita, for games that save on the cart, it would follow that trophy data would be saved on the cart.

Any hardware 'oddities' that are different from psp, like how all ds stuff are all over the place for 3ds?
I notice volume controls on the top now, anything else worth noting? Any weird design choices?
Man why, oh why couldn't they get video-out for v1?? Would get it day 1 =/
