Well, congrats to all of you in Nihon that have gotten Vita's in the last day or so. Having had hands on time with the system at a local mall event I know it's a great piece of technology and has awesome gaming potential.

I'm envious of you guys and gals getting the system months ahead of us but am eagerly looking forward to February 15th so I can finally have one of my own. And thanks for all the impressions and the early sleuthing!

It seems both software-wise and hardware-wise Sony did a very good job with the Vita. Makes me excited what they have in store for the PS4.

in game photo taking - you do this on Ridge and it cuts all input. You can no longer steer or accelerate. The game continues as normal, just you grind to a halt.

Played a bunch of PS Vitas today with various games. My impressions are incredibly positive, but it's all been said here before by other people so I won't repeat it.

What I wanted to say was that one of the nine/ten Vitas I played had a stuck pixel (a pixel that would always stay light blue). So unfortunately the system is not immune to this annoying problem, but hopefully it won't be not a common occurrence.

Yeah, I took a screen in "Dynamic Scene" or whatever that QTE is called and failed because it was processing the image. As in "wait a minute, I have to add some heavy compression, that will make the screenshot ugly".

Yeah that sucks, I know it has to do some processing but that's what the one core and other memory should be for.

I hope game fixes and patches are become more common on the VITA (or more than the psp)

Yeah I know they shouldn't be shipping buggy games to begin with, but sometimes devs can't foresee every single problem that might arise. Maybe Scamco can patch-in 60FPS?

I was in a Gamestop today and they still had a sign up advertising the "NGP/PSP2 coming Fall 2011". I guess they'll get actual Vita ads up soon.

it should be fine - i am going to repeat the process so my 16 gig is fine for US content today.

1) Factory restore JPN PSV with the 16 gig card in (US target card)
2) opt to DEACTIVATE account when asked
3) Input US account details
4) watch that F***ing intro movie AGAIN
5) Download content from PS3 to PSV
6) Factory restore US PSV with 32 gig card in
7) opt to deactivate US account
8) input JPN account details
9) Wave fist at the stupid intro movie AGAIn
10) Check i can still play content from mem card
11) victory
12) make months of posts moaning that the process wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't fot having to watch the stupid intro Movie

Yesterday went from awesome to disaster. It was pretty clear to those that bumped into me in the morning that i wasn't well - things got drastically worse throughout the day culminating in me passed out in bed at an early hour when we were supposed to be having a family "do" :/

My Vita blues have been lifted significantly by Mingol (which is as awesome as ever), Smash Court (60fps in game (cuts not so 60) and solid) , and Blazblue (okay - i'm not a massive blaz fan but god it looks brilliant on the screen)

Still a lot of games to get through - but Mingol is making me want to just play that.

I -may- however sell off Mingol and Ridge. Given how poor the general packaging is - i like the box, but no manuals or anything - then it was a mistake in cases where the games will be MP focused to go retail. Actually - anything that is a turd will get sold monday.

wow, you made my day. So it is possible to download stuff from every PSN store (EU, US, Jpn) and play them all under a single account? That is awesome news. Now I am looking forward to the Vita again.

Though the process is a little bit painful...

what about using a bluetooth headset? is it a standard affair (a la PS3) or is it slightly different?
Click to expand...

Thanks for reminding me of this. I wanted to know if anyone has paired a BT headset to this. It was hinted at in the RSG stream but that would be amazing to have a wireless solution.

Weird how Blazblue is larger than Uncharted.

Yes, it will be commercially viable (in 2-3 years). OLED TVs will be printed en masse. DuPont apparently has a method to print OLED panels up to 50 inches in a matter of minutes.

I'm surprised you bought shares in a company that works on a technology you don't seem to believe in or know much about.

Sony's OLED TV in 2007 was probably 7-8 years ahead of its time.

I guess I shouldn't have quoted your entire post for clarity purposes. I was responding to the bottom portion. You were specifically discussing the LG 55" being shown at the upcoming CES - and the implication seemed to be that even that model would be commercially viable. I wouldn't be surprised if that is not the case. Where they may or may not be in 2-3 years wasn't what I was talking about.

As for PANL stock though, the OLED TV market really doesn't factor into it tbh. Basically it's only extra upside. Even if the TV market never materializes, I still think there's plenty of growth available - more phones, tablets, monitors, lighting, etc.


Are you honestly trying to argue I don't know much about the CE industry ... particularly display technology? Seriously son? ;)

I paired a BT wireless headset with the system no problem at all (just like PS3 setup) and used it to talk to my friend on his Vita (across the country) through Party while we played different games. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.

Also, my unboxing got 33,000 views on YouTube overnight >.>; Jeez, thanks for all the support that came from GAF.

So will there be anyway for me to get twitter if I sign into a vita with my AU account when it's arrives?

What exactly can you transfer over from a playstation
