And the best way they have to make some money back. That's ultimately the biggest reason, and perhaps one of the deciding factors in their ultimate doom.

Why does Sony allow so many disconnections from PSN? They need to get this straightened out.
And, how in the world am I suppose to know when I'm on PSN? There should be a PSN icon next to the wifi icon to let me know when I'm connected to PSN.

How do I connect my Vita to my PS3? I connected it to the usb port on my PS3 and launched content manager but it says unable to connect to PS3. I want to transfer SSD over so bad.
I've been reading his posts.
Maybe so though.

Yeah, not knowing when you're on PSN is dumb.
They're probably trying to increase battery life by implementing disconnects when you're not actively using something the network.
Seems like I should have that choice though, and it should not be forced...
Assuming you have people on your friends list, soon you'll know when you're online.
There will constantly be a huge pop up on the top right with people signing in.
And I couldn't find any way to turn it off. It bothers me so much...
Also, games clearly say when they're turning off the network features in an ugly grey pop up.

Is it wrong that any time I see a picture of someone's collection that includes Modnation I think to myself, "Ooooh that poor guy."?
If you FEB guys are taking requests, footage of PSP games running on the Vita would be nicer than footage of Vita games (opinion).

FEB+ is BooBoo approved!
I was with you until I saw the vita-branded headphones. Kill Them!

It's because a lot of singleplayer games disable network connections for power saving purposes. I didn't mean to imply that it disconnects for no apparent reason. My bad.
As for how to know if you're on, if you get pop up notifications saying people are signing in, you're signed on. If not, then you're probably not. It always tells you when a game disables network, though... so it's not exactly a guessing game.
It's looking like a great port. The previews I've seen marvel at the "pop" of the image on the OLED screen. Frame rate seems fine. You can even pinch-zoom to get a closer look at the art.
There's one big loss in the Vita port: multiplayer. There's no coop in the Vita version.
Not an issue for me. Maybe worryingly, I don't know of a single other person IRL who is buying a Vita. Good to know its looking like a great port though - I'm always wary of ubisoft launch titles!

What Sony must fail to realize is that I'm a big boy. If I want to save power, I'll choose to do so. And if I dont want to, I won't.

He might have got some for free but I'm not sure. But it's his monies anyways, let him enjoy.
As for me. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Just got back with mine and am diving in now on the setup and Skinomo application (screen protector). That screen and OS respond like a boss. I tried the 3G too. Excellent signal.
Tinkering with settings and trying to apply with AT&T for the 3G soon but damn, this is the real deal tech wise. Got my 32GB and 2 games waiting for me when I got home too. The circle is complete!
The case in the FEB is really nice too.
According to the EU blog, not only does Motorstorm RC have a platinum trophy, it also has one for the PS3. So 2 platinums, for one game which costs less than £5.00

Jeff Gerstmann speculated that the Offline thing is because certain game-specific network services aren't online yet. I doubt that's true, but it's another possible explanation.

Any impressions on Skinomi full body protectors??
Has anyone tried playing some PSP games on the vita? Specifically games that really needed a second analog stick (Monster Hunter comes to mind). How is it?
I'm on the fence, but I want one. I love my PSP and don't know if I should wait or just jump in now.
None of the launch Vita games interest me, but I'd love to play some upscaled PSP games on this.

You plug it into the PS3 and the PS3 pops up with a screen about using the vita to manage content. Don't back out of that screen. Then, in content manager on the Vita, you can do all your stuff.
Also, Gods Eater Burst works on the Vita. It plays really well and looks great.

Totally agree, man! I hope he enjoys every one of those games. I just don't understand it.

Rayman is stable 60FPS fine.

When the you plug in the USB a message will pop up on PS3.
Leave that screen up while transferring.
All transfers are done from the content manager in the Vita.

Go to youtube and type in Monster Hunter Vita. You'll see it.

It is great. Monster Hunter and Gods Eater Burst are much better. It's honestly like playing a new game.
Fuck the small Start and Select buttons.

I've had it on for about an hour. Let it rest as it says to let it rest for about 3-5. The light condensation has already dissipated. I have some little air pockets but those are the ones that are supposed to disappear in a few days. It's not even noticeable either. So in other words, it's a pretty good screen protector which encompasses the entirety of the front. Easily worth the price.
System updating to 1.60 at the moment then I'm going to try to finish the PSN setup and tackle the 3G activation. This thing is gorgeous.
I'm going to have to pick up Rayman now lol
Thanks a lot g35!
i'm not letting Capcom off the hook. There's no way I'm buying Monster Hunter until it surpasses the PS2 original. MT Framework engine, and modern online support.

I agree. It will come probably in a year. That'll push systems in Japan, and I'd love to see it here in the states.

Why are people so concerned with protecting the rear touch??
It isn't a screen....
I don't see the point.

Anyone found a way to disable the "No Signal" up at the top left corner if you disable 3G? Kinda annoying. I guess I'll leave it connected to 3G rather than see the no signal thang all the time...
Edit: Love what the battery icon does when you plug in the ac adapter, hah! Groovy.

I'd like my Playstation Gucci unscathed, thankyouverymuch.
They still want it to look nice.
Good to know! I'm playing Gods Eater Burst now and that game is in desperate need of a second stick for the camera.

The rear touchpad is reported to scratch easily.
You dont want scratches on your rear touchpad do you?

Sony needs to improve the UI in two ways based off my first impression.
- Add control support to the homescreen menu
- Add an option that allows the user to disable live area (i.g. launch right into a game)

Exactly. This should not be forced on us. I really hope the devs can patch this out.
Not at all dude. I'm just a little ticked that Sony is claiming that they want an always connected device and are Promoting 3G heavily but most of their games disable the network, absolutely oxymoronic in my opinion.
We need to tweet Yoshida or let the Playstation blog know that this really is something that shouldn't be in the next batch of games.
I'd also like the ability to turn off notifications.

Anything can scratch easily. Doesn't mean you're going to wrap the whole thing with Saran wrap.
Even if it scratches, it will work just as well.
I'd say name your kid Vita.
I want to buy a Vita, waiting for the first price drop. But now there is a perfect storm for getting one on launch (unexpected money coming my way, nice 3G bundle, Target doing the b2g1).
So, do you think that the 3G launch bundle will be sold out as soon as feb 22? And what about Army Corps of Hell?
