What are the good minis? And do any of them look good on Vita? There are quite a few with PS+ discounts.

That happened to me last night. I had the system on all day, put it in my bag on the way home from work. When I got home - system was unresponsive, just the blue PS light doing its gently on/off thing. Had to hard reset. :|

WTF....
Got a Euro Vita, plugged in my local SIM card (3G plan) and I get a "invalid sim card" message.
When I go to mobile network under settings, it says "The sim card inserted in your system is not compatible with the PS Vita"
I know my card works since I removed it from my USB modem, and this is a Euro system so there shouldn't be a lock. So what the hell? Any help? am I missing anything?

I've bought Where is my Heart ? this week. It's pretty good.
You have the classic Dengeki Blocks too.
The way it crashes in sleep mode is another slip up by Sony imo. How many people are going to not be able to wake up their vita and think their system is broken and return it? Holding power for 20-30 seconds is a long time and if no one tells them to do it, a lot of people will never figure it out.
I feel like Sony should have had a mandatory tutorial instead of the welcome message that tells you things like how to hard reset the machine and that if you delete a game bubble you will lose all your saves for that game.
Basically, it's a great machine, but it's made for hardcore tech people who can go to gaming forums and find this stuff out. The system is very J6P unfriendly and I think that will hurt in the long run.

How essential is a screen protector? I probably won't use my Vita outside of my house so it's not like I'm going to be carrying it around with me, but the plastic screen has me worried that its gonna scratch easily. Also are the analog sticks suppose to have a little play in them?
Was it the one that you got from the 3G Vita? I thought you had to buy into their plan on a specific carrier to get it to work since the Vita technically isn't a phone.
My Vita has only crashed once.
I was backing up a game to my PC, when it finished I started to delete the game off the Vita(not the PC) and while it was deleting I unplugged the USB. It did not like that.
Just froze on the delete progress bar and I had to do a hard reset. It did delete the file but I'm not sure if it deleted it "cleanly" or not. Would reformat just in case, but I'm grabbing a 32gig this weekend anyway.

Vitas in the EU are unlocked unlike in Japan and the US.

You got yourself a Vita? Great. I can't wait to hear impressions on P1P.
For anyone out there regarding hard locks, could it be a bug that triggers when you have a Vita in sleep mode with a game running in the background and you receive a notification?
This was exacty what happened to me when my Vita hard locked.
Just bought Rayman Origins on PSN because it was basically the same price as Shopto and Amazon.
I hate you GAF
Cool, as long as you don't hate Rayman.

Wait, do you mean there is a list of carriers besides Vodafone that you can use with the system? My understanding is that the Euro 3G model (which I have here) is completely open in terms of SIM cards.
EDIT: I meant to ask if there was a specific list of carriers besides Vodafone
It will actually be my first Rayman game!
Well dag, ignore me.
Since it was near the end of the last page. Bumpage.
Both really. If I had to choose though, I'd go with Uncharted. Wipeout lasts longer though.

So I hadn't been paying much attention to the Vita threads because I didn't think I was getting one for a little while. Cue fiancé getting me one yesterday and now I'm catching up on different stuff.
I just learned about the "you can't earn trophies off of a used game without wiping the data on the card" thing. What a douche move. So we can't share the same game unless I fuck over his save game files and vice versa?
As a work around, someone mentioned that you can use the content manager and save your saves to your PC and restore later - has anyone tried this?
Either way... I live in the same gawddamn house! This makes me all sorts of grumpy.

Exactly.
So do you know why I would get this "invalid sim card" error? Sorry to persist but I've search like crazy and I can't find anyone else with this issue?

I was wondering why some games didn't have prices next to them, I thought it was a bug, I don't think I even bought Hustle kings on the PS3 but must have dled it for free when it was on PSN plus at some point, amazing.
I had my VITA sitting there for a week and ignored it, finally decided to have a look at it after I got home from my night shift and im amazed how good it is.
Completely worth it. The series is some of the best golf you can get - handheld or home console IMHO. I just plugged into the Vita edition, feels like Clap Hanz has nailed the definitive version on the PSV.
Absolutely. Even people that normally wouldn't touch a golf game could love HSG. Tons of unlockables and daily tourneys to keep you busy too.

Nice thanks!
Will probably try to grab a copy on the way home from work. Between the stacked launch and PSP backlog the Vita is stealing all my monies. Glad Mass effect was the only other game i'm getting this month.

So 2 days after launch there was only one person that would show up on Near for me which isn't surprising since I live in a really small town. I boot up Near today and there is 12 people. Pretty dang cool.
If near serves one purpose, despite its obscurity at times, it's that of 'social proof'.

Depends on the demo. There are some demos that are just the full game, just locked. In this case you would just download the key and keep playing.

started with 6 and last night it said 36. I was pretty surprised considering I live in a small town in Utah.
That seems to be the official deal for the game.

Its really hard to say, both are great! Go with whichever Genre you feel like playing and remember Wipeout has multiplayer...

How many people actually show up on your radar? I'm guessing it's not more than a few.
Ok. I would like to download Rayman: Origin, so do you know if its just a case of downloading the key or would I have to download it again?

Checked Amazon, but I don't see that promotion listed.

If the demo is the same size as the game, then yes. I did this for Rayman for example. The Fifa demo is smaller than the game so no.
Yes, you can unlock Rayman without downloading it again.

It showed me about 8 or 9 and said there are 12 people playing around you or something like that.
I think they show you the 9 people closest to you.

Just a quick heads up for all Canadians in here. Today is the last day for Future Shop's Trade 1 and get any Vita game $39.99 and under free. I'm thinking about trading something in for Wipeout.

I didn't see Where is My Heart on the Vita store. Do you have to transfer it from PS3?
