Wtf? I think my screen might already have a scratch, right out of the box...

I'm wiping it with a screen cleaner and nothing happening so it's not a smudge... Ugh. Am I going to have to exchange this?

I'm loving this system so far, waiting Gravity Rush and Persona 4. My girlfriend gave me this dress for my new lover:

I'd turn on and see if you even notice it. Wouldn't worry about it if you can't.

I LOVE being able to practice MvC at work and stuff...

But my "go to" fighting game system? No WAY man!!! Arcade stick for life!

i didnt say go to, as i also think arcade sticks are awesome! But i do plan to purchase all fighters for the VITA because fighting games are perfect for portable action. Jump in and play some online matches for a bit on your lunch or on your breaks? Count me in! I am still debating on getting BB though, I couldn't get into it on the consoles but i feel like i must have it on the vita... lol

I'm happy with the 3 games I bought (HSG, Lumines, and FIFA). MAYBE I'd prefer to have Virtua Tennis over FIFA, but that's not to say that FIFA isn't still a cool game.

While I'm loving FIFA, the biggest problem I have with it is how EA based the AI off 11 so they run at you like homing missiles and youre not able to dribble around the box. I miss thT from 12.
 
Ok, here are timestamped links to my shoddy video.

ok so I got the Hori protector on really good except a little air bubble underneath the left analog. Is that bad for the protector? Should I get it out?

Do yall need to constantly log into the secondapps version of gaf? After like 2 times Ive given up logging in lol

I logged into it once and then whenever i posted it would take me to the official site instead of secondapps neogaf.. but it still doesnt show me as logged in on the secondapps version.

Sometimes those bubbles go away on their own, try to push out with your finger or maybe a card of some sort (I'd wrap it in a microfiber cloth). That way you can see whether a speck of dust is keeping it up or if it just needs to be pushed out.

Sony really needs to scrap the current browser and replace it with something better. The Vita gets a lot of things right, but that browser is just garbage.

That browser is based on WebKit. They don't have to scrap it. They only need to fix the rendering bugs, and update it with more features.

The browser also uses less memory if you have other apps open. If you're browsing a complex site, might want to close other apps you're not using.
 
Pixel art looks incredible on this thing. The Megadrive collection has a 1:1 output mode and this is perfectly pixel doubled on the Vita.

Well worth a buy.

Yea the browser is not great at all, seems like its in pre alpha stage, looks like the last thing done and clearly wasnt finished, it does get the job done for now but needs lots of work.

It's only bad if you have OCD. ;)

If you can't get it out by using some sort of "squeegy" method with a credit card or something, and you can just deal with it, I'd leave it.

If you try to peel-up the screen protector and re-apply it, this usually doesn't end well.

The browser has one major issue, the redraw. That's what makes it feel kind of pokey.

The actual responsiveness and fluidity of the UI is great. If they can get it to redraw iOS style I think it'll be, well, serviceable.

Same deal with the Maps app. It just doesn't do live redraw as well. They can fix that though.

I seriously cannot put down FIFA, and I don't give a shit about soccer.

This thing will be GOD-LIKE for MLB.

In general, I really am floored by how much I love this thing.

yea I got it a little smaller, I'll just deal with it. Doesn't seem to come out no matter what I do. It's not big anyway and it doesn't really bother me.


I'm not really seeing a difference between the Hori and the Sony one from a picture quality standpoint.
 
I bought the MadCatz PSVita Armorcase, and I'm really happy.

It didn't add any size (it even fit with the case in the starter pack pouch, if necessary), and protect the console. You can take out the back (and put it again) very easily, for games that use the back touchpad, and you can even use it as stand.

*plays uncharted*

Holy shit. This really is console level gaming. I thought PSP had it back in 2005, but the second analog stick really is necessary.

Yeap, it's the redraw when the user drags the page around too much. ^_^

The redraw when the page scrolls a little seems fine (although can be sped up).

I'm dreaming of a Vita blowout with the store update tonight but I'm sure it'll be underwhelming at best.

Need more games please Sony.

So yea I couldnt resist so I took a trip to Gamestop and picked up Wipeout to add to my collection with Uncharted, Lumines, Rayman and UMvC3. Someone help me, I'm spending too much $$$$$!!!!!@#!@#!@#!

I resisted picking up Fifa because MLB is right around the corner. I cant remember a launch where I wanted so many games...
