I realized that when I was 11 fucking years old. I remember thinking the idea of them being separate buttons was neat and novel (and young enough to not realize how terrible that'd actually be), only to use it and see that, no, the whole thing actually IS a single piece with the center hidden under the casing. Thus there was no pushing up and down at the same time like on a keyboard.

I just used the PC Content Manager Assistant for the first time. I was surprised how long it took to transfer MP3s. Though I guess a lot of them are 300+kbs. I also was bummed i couldn't move any of the data for disc based games. Like I rented Shinobido 2 but returned it just due to it being pretty massive and me having a lot on my plate. I wish i could just move the icon/save to my pc until im ready to play it.
All in due time, i guess.
Haven't tried yet, but I was under the impression that this was possible. I'll try it out when I get home this evening.

Alright GAF, I just bought a $50 PSN Card and I need game suggestions. My choices are either UMVC3, Virtua Tennis 4, or HSG.
I've had my eye mainly on Virtua Tenni 4 and I'm hearing great things about it however HSG looks fun but I'm hearing the difficulty is rough. Keep in mind I haven't owned of these types of games before, so any of the 3 are new to me.

Oh, except the fact that they would need spend tons of money making it work in the first place.
I'd say Virtua Tennis. HSG is a little rough around the edges. UMVC3 only if you are a fighting game enthusiast.
The Uncharted sniper aiming is my favourite right now. Didn't believe it until I tried it myself, but it works very very well.

This sumioni demo....
Wtf I sat through 5 minutes of scrolling text and I can't skip it!

HSG for the Vita was my first entry into the franchise and I fell completely in love with it. Have propably gotten a good 10ish hours out of it but the difficulty is seriously starting catch up to me now.
There's one really cool thing in the game called 'daily international tournament', which is a series of events held every day that sets up a new leaderboard for each event every day and gives you points based on your ranking the next day. It's a really fun way to pick up the game every day and play a little bit. You can launch the tournament menu straight from LiveArea, very convenient.
But if you're a person who gets easily frustrated you may as well forget about it. I've gotten pissed off so many times at the game but I always forgive it because of all the charm and personality it has.
maybe it's tons of money, maybe it's not.... vita uses the same cpu architecture as android hardware and they already have existing android devs of their own working on xperia phones. Get some integration with android marketplace and it becomes a full fledged tablet while still being a hardcore game machine.

And that costs money.

You could stretch that $50 really far.....
Tales from Space: Mutant Blob Attacks - $8
Escape Plan - $15
Super Stardust Delta w/DLC - $15
Motorstorm RC - $10?
All that added up is $48
And if you have some money already in your wallet and can afford it the PSP game Crush at $5 is an absolute steal. Great puzzle game that will keep you entertained...and pondering for hours.
wow thanks for this breakdown, going to do this

If you like fighting games UMvC3 is great.
I've had my Vita for a week now, and like so many others in this thread I love this thing! Overall it is a really impressive device. So impressive that I wish I wasn't such a failure at applying screen protectors - dust and bubbles, ugh.
There are a few things I think could be better. Loading times (mostly in Lumines for me). Battery life it is decent right now but I haven't really been using chat, or any games with significant online. The back touchpad feels like it's in my way more than anything. Katamari uses it as a control to distort the shape of the katamari, and I kept accidentally triggering it until I flipped the back of my case over it. I think buying a grip would help by giving me more to hold onto and improving ergonomics.
So far I've got Katamari, Lumines, and Hot Shots Golf. I've been really happy with the launch lineup so far, and I never thought I'd find the near app as interesting as I do. Been uploading presents as much as possible. Apparently there are ~300 people in my vicinity playing the vita! I'm looking forward to the 999 sequel, gravity rush, and the persona 4 games.
My wishlist is mostly app-related now and I hope there is good ongoing improvement. I'd love if there were ways to skin the UI. I think those bubbles are ugly, but I like the way the OS works otherwise. Netflix Canada is still not working. A Gmail app and a better browser would make this my go-to device and let me leave my ipod at home for shorter excursions.
Though it seems like I have a lot of complaints, they are minor to me and overall the Vita is great. This is the first time I've gotten a new piece of hardware at launch and I'm so glad I did.

Man doing Motorstorm speed laps is strangely hypnotic, I'm dizzy now :^p
17th place on the leaderboard for the first time trial, my colleague is going to try to kick my ass tomorrow. Those ghosts are a bit distracting though, sometimes it is hard to see your own car.

Yes. I've used Best Buy. You have to put their address as your billing address, they explain it there.
It takes a few hours to get the code though for me for some reason.
Uncharted requires memory card, don't think it saves anything to cart

I have no clue how to upload stuff on near. I think I got some rewards to upload in SSD, but I have no clue how to actually do it. Near isn't very user friendly IMO, though I love the idea.
I caved in and picked up The 3rd Birthday, and I have to say, as a Parasite Eve fan, I'm really enjoying it, and it's a blast to play on Vita. However, I can totally see why some people would be annoyed trying to play it on the PSP.
The dual analog really feels great, and the visuals look really sharp (it doesn't use that weird filter that FF Dissidia/012 use).
I'm really liking it, and it feels like a Parasite Eve game to me!
These PSP "Classics" are killing me though! I don't think I'll have any problems weathering the inevitable Vita dry spells. So many quality PSP titles to play.
I've always sung the PSP's praises, but I actually think the Vita will help people realize that the PSP has a great software library, but people were too wrapped up in their salesage "PSP vs DS" BS that they didn't bother to accept what a stellar lineup the system has.
Games that had control issues thanks to the camera feel much better to play now.
I'm still playing the hell out of my 4 proper Vita titles, of course, but man, those classic titles. Next up? Probably Jeanne 'D Arc. I loved that game, and would love to see it on that OLED.

Quick question:
Is Unit 13 still causing the Hard Lock ups on the PS Vita?

I'm er.... Ahem. Seriously thinking about buying a Vita.

I uploaded a video showing Blazblue Extend on the Vita in comparison to CS2 on the PSP.
You can see how nice the resolution and colors are on the VITA:

Hey guys,
Sorry for the probably redundant question, but, can anyone link me to a text tutorial explaining how to switch account on vita without losing the content? I mean, I already downloaded plenty of psp games, vita demos and games in my account. But I made a HK account and downloaded the gravity rush demo.
So I think it´s better to play the gravity rush demo first by making the hk account my active account on vita, and then switch to my main USA account, am I right or there is something I am missing?

DO IT.
It is really not very consistently implemented, but for both Katamari and Lumines the upload is initiated in the game itself. Heck, in Katamari it says "check buddy plaza" or something, and doesn't really indicate that it's putting you out there as a potential buddy as well. Then it will take you to the near app and prompt you to update location, do the upload, and once it's done will prompt you to return to the game.
It would be nice if the near information relating to a game would be on the startup screen (or whatever it's called), along with the manual and website links for consistency. The only way I could confirm the games I've uploaded presents for was by checking my player info in Near (touch your icon on the radar map and see if there are present icons next to games on your list).
