So I got my Vita unpacked, got the screen saver applied without incident (thank you, Sony!) and ran setup without any problems (just told it no, I don't want to sign into my PSN account right now first time through and had no problems - thank you, GAF). After the firmware update I brought Metal Slug Anthology down off my download list and tried it and it was beautiful (great D-pad, btw), then I installed Escape Plan and Super Stardust Delta off my PS3 and that went smoothly...
...then I dropped in Uncharted and spent an hour playing it, and I've just come up long enough to say OMFG, I can't believe I'm playing this game on a handheld!
PSP launch did this to me the first time I saw Ridge Racer on it... Before that, I think it was the Lynx that blew me away with Blue Lightning... I'm awed... this system is a game changer...
gotta go play somemore...
Twenty people playing nearby in the Yonge and Lawrence area of Toronto!!!
I got nine or ten from Orleans (Eastern suburb of Ottawa) - which frankly kinda surprised me...
