Some. The second post in this thread has a compatibility list.
Ah, I mean the trophies.
If they developed the game with North America release in mind, there would be a set of English language trophies if the Vita's system language was set to English (probably US English).
If the trophies don't show English, it means it only has Japanese and defaults to Japanese on any unsupported language.
Since trophy language doesn't change with the system language, you would have to format the Vita/PS3 in order to install a new trophy language. I'm not willing to do that for a game. -_-
It's designed to conserve battery life.
They SHOULD offer the option to stay signed in, however.

Little Deviants sucks, but that one balloon game that makes you turn Vita vertically... Oh man, I really wish some good games are made for this that play in vertical mode. Ikaruga or other shooters or some pinballs would be so amazing.

Seriously. It's been out for a week and things are getting cancelled.
Edit: should have read a bit further. oops.
It's fake. You got trolled.

Question about the 3G service for the vita in NA.
Where do you go to find info on the price plans? I went to the AT&T site and there is a list of like 20+ options for data plans, and i'm not sure which would be good for the Vita.
Trying to give a friend a price range for the Data plans

Anyone have issues connecting their Vita at Starbucks wifi?
I believe it's called the Tablet plan. There should be at least 2 choices:
250Mb and 3Gb.

Since the browser and OS are entirely touch based, i don't know why it doesn't auto rotate so you can browse webpages/etc in portrait mode. I hope they patch that in.
Make it happen !
Yes. In my case, it was resolvable.
After you connect to StarBucks WiFi, go to the web browser immediately. Try to access any website, the "Terms of Agreement" page will show up. Tap "Ok" and you'll have full network access.
The "Ok" button can be tricky/slow though. I had to try 5-6 times before the "Ok" button registered my tap.

Thanks!!!
You might as well add the real twitter account to your post:

We have Twitter on Vita after all. ;-)
I didn't bother with Twitter but the Vita one is nice. So there, the non-games do make some differences to me. Sony, please don't ignore them too much. Fix the half baked ones.

Off topic, but in Battlefield 3 multi-player, on the Seine Crossing map, there's background sounds of cats meowing. I'm constantly taking off my headphones thinking my cat is in distress.
Yes. It's the same for all Vitas, PSPs, DSes, controllers, etc. I don't think you'd want them rigid and only pressable in straight up-down direction.

you should try to do it from the vita. it takes you directly to where you need to be
sorry...its $15 fro 250mb and $30 for 3gb, then there are some others that cost more
Ok.
Is AT&T's 3G registration page working for Vita now ? I read a lot of issues with that page last week. Was told the best way to register is to do it on PC and Mac.
I finished Golden Abyss last night, really enjoyed the game. The game initially gives a bad impression, but really starts to pick up after the first couple chapters and keeps accelerating. Going from about chapter 21 to the end of the game is a complete blast! Some of the forced touch stuff is frustrating but didn't bother too much because I was engrossed with the adventure. Golden Abyss felt like going on a real adventure too instead of moving from one high octane set piece to another like Uncharted 3. Don't get me wrong, I love all the Uncharted games but UC3 moved too much into trying to be a movie first and a game second. Didn't have the balance UC2 had, nor as good of a balance as Golden Abyss. I'd rate them in this order:
1) UC2
2) Golden Abyss
3) UC3
4) UC1
My hunt for collectible items waits, as Rayman Origins is next!

It's still not clear to me that messages would still push notifications, even if you stayed connected. To receive messages do you have to keep the app open always in the background? If so they need to integrate messaging/party/friends as a single, always on background app. Otherwise sending invites on this platform is useless.

I was thinking the same thing. Holding it in portrait mode would be much more comfortable while browsing would almost be like a mini tablet at that point.

I just beat uncharted last night. Quite a fun ride and locals get fairly varied in the second half of the game. I also beat Uncharted 3 recently and man I have a way higher headshot count on Golden Abyss. Gyro aiming is pretty great for stop and pop shooting.
Also there are so many freaking collectibles. The black market is slick too.

Um, on a PSP?
If you did it on the Vita, you would be playing on a screen that's less than 2" diagnol...
I thought you'll see a small "PSN Shopping Bag" symbol in the game icon if you have already purchased the game ?
No, I haven't tried yet. It may be AT&T's workflow that's screwing up, not the web page itself. I guess I'll find out later when I activate mine.

I know it's been asked, but is NGS+ worth the price? Gonna need something after Uncharted.
There's a little icon next to it if you've bought/downloaded it already.

Thanks! I only have a wifi version so I didnt think I could shop for 3G, I've just been looking into things for a friend.
Another question, this ones about the play the ps3 anywhere. Is it actually legit (which I don't think is accurately depicted in the commercials) or is it just for the cross game play? And if so how does that work?
(I should probably be asking this in the noob threads)
I just checked. On Vita, the symbol is beside the price of the game.
On PS3, it's "attached" to the corner of the game icon.
Thanks for that. Normally i'd remember what i've downloaded, but the last items i downloaded were about 10 different packs for Ridge Racer over 3 separate play sessions. Kept forgetting whcih ones i'd downloaded and which i hadn't!
PSVita Store has a new "Cross Play" category for games that can cross play with PS3. These games may also allow you to pay once and get both the PS3 and Vita versions.
Technically, they are different. e.g., MLB 2012 supports cross play, but I don't know if Sony has an MLB 2012 offer for pay-once-play-on-both yet.
I haven't tried them yet, so I can't tell you how it works. ^_^
EDIT: Hope this link helps...

Fuck yes, as far as I'm concerned. Very smooth despite the constant whining that it's 30 fps, very sharp IQ and as fun (and hard) to play as ever. Plus the 76 Ninja Trials along with the campaign will keep you busy for a while.
As for me, I'm itching to buy another game. Bought UMvC3 and love it, though it basically confirmed that if there's one type of game I truly suck at is fighting games.
Still, was contemplating getting either Blazblue or The 3rd Birthday. Opinions on either are very welcome.

As a former gamerscore whore, the Vita is really what may get me to switch to my PS3 full time. Earning trophies on the go is very addicting.

Should we expect any PSVita announcements at next weeks GDC?

I'm having the opposite problem. I put it to sleep and then when I come back to it I see the PS button is blue and my battery has drained significantly.
If I put you to sleep stop wasting mah batteries!
The PSP had a Wifi switch, that was very convenient actually. I don't think the Vita has anything like that. How the hell do I put this thing to sleep for a long period of time without draining all the battery?
The PSP could last for weeks on sleep. I distinctly remember that as a huge advantage over the DS light I'd borrow from my brother that I'd blink red while on sleep and then shut down and lose all my progress.
Probably more engine compatibility announcements, though I'm unsure of many if any middleware engines that aren't compatible with it.
Sony might announce a title or two, but it wouldn't be anything huge.
What's in Welcome Park ? Is it good ?
I fired the app up, but swiped into the games and web browser immediately. Haven't played it one bit. ^_^
I hope they tell us more about PS Suite. androvsky is in the closed beta. He seems impressed/happy.
Always funny when people say it's "whining" about a lower FPS than any other version of the game available. Lowered expectations, I guess.
It is fun, though. If portability is a major plus, get it. Otherwise I'd say it's the worst version of the game to date. But, that being said, it's still one of the best action games ever, even at 30fps. I'm enjoying my time with it, but that's because being portable is its major draw for me.

Feel free to add me for UmvC3. I'm generally decent with most fighters but get destroyed online with UMvC3. I'd say go with the 3rd Birthday and try to master Marvel: Blazblue has a higher learning curve.
