I may be the only person who cares, but I'm happy to say that Work Time Fun *does* work just fine on the Vita if you transfer it through the PS3.

Was my only PSP game not on the officially supported list. PENDAMONIUM ENDLESS RUN, HERE I COME.

Hustle Kings is one simple but great looking game with some details. It's basically a 1:1 port of the PS3 version which is quite nice.

This loading screen looks sharp as nails on the Vita screen

so i had a weird experience, the back touch pad stopped working. tried both fifa and escape plan and it wouldnt register that i was touching the back. Just turned the system off and then back on and it fixed the problem but thought that was weird.

anyone else experience this?
 
QA thread is kinda slow so 2 questions.

- Does psp mode 'disable' certain features like music player and what not?
- How fast is the transfer rate of vita to and from ps3/pc?

This felt racist even though I know it's a Mr. Miyagi thing (they got a terrible impersonator):

1. Yes.
2. Not fast enough.

This is the Hori Hard Pouch. Comes in a variety of colors. I got mine from Play-Asia for $12.99+ shipping and by using the Fed Ex option I ordered this case on Wed. evening and received it Friday before noon from Hong Kong! Also note the strap on my Vita in the second image. Someone mentioned a Wii remote strap early in this thread and I adopted that practice and it has served me well for both added protection against drops AND the fact that the Vita is now much easier to get out of any pouch I put it in. Just tug on the strap and out it comes.

Anyway, I really love the color and that makes up for the lack of additional storage pouches for me. Shown in the last 2 shots are the size comparison with the FEB case. It's not much smaller but it is a little thinner and feels sleeker just because the finish is so nice.

Are Hori cases eventually sold on Amazon. I think i just found my case. Thanks!

Okay. So I'm playing Virtua Tennis, and I'm in the Asian tournament. It's the semi-finals and the tie-breaker. For some reason, the vita starts reacting as if I touched it somewhere over to the left or middle, or slightly down to the right, and god damn is it annoying. I lost the game, but this isn't the first time this has happened; is it my screens sensitivity, or is VT just wacking out on me?

Please, Ubisoft. Custom soundtrack support (specifically for podcasts) for Rayman and Lumines. Rayman at the very least!

I want to use the Vita to do podcast gaming but my two favorite games don't support podcasts!

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.

I couldn't find the MadCatz one.....so I got this one, and even this one I had to order it directly from Hori themselves. But atleast they have a location in California. Should be here tomorrow morning.

I have that one. It's great - only complaint is that it isn't compatible with the dock for size reasons. Hard to fault it for that, though.

debating if i should sell marvel vs capcom. i enjoyed mortal kombat more so i could make that my main fighter when it comes out. i think its because i just dont know how to do anything in the game. but there is so real single player aspect to the game which kinda bothers me. i can only play arcade for so long without getting tired of it

since I have this face cover, should I still get a tough shield for my vita? or just get a cheap one to block off dust and basic stuff.

mind you, I have a 2 year accident warranty on the thing, so I don't know why I'm going through all of this but I don't want the thing to look ugly during that time span.

What if in 2 years and 3 days, a bird eats shards of wood and poops morsels on your screen and scratches it and it's out of warranty and it goes though the plastic. What do you do, what do you do?!

Question here:

I have the Collector's Edition DLC of Jill/Shuma from Vanilla MvC3

The downloads are now up on PSN for Vita but they're not free...5$/each.

I thought it was said they were supposed to be free...no?

I'd buy a new Vita that'd probably be much cheaper, has a nicer screen, and probably TV Out.

100% sure. Even if I try it say I do not have enough funds in my wallet. :/

Like I said my download is from the Collector, maybe those who bought them separately got them for free. Anybody in the same situation?

Bringing this up a few pages as people still seem to be asking how to do a lot of this stuff.

Really? I thought custom soundtracks was supported by all Vita games?

So, has anyone else noticed this with the screen? When there are bright colours being displayed, or a white screen there is that 'crystal' like effect. Perhaps 'stained-glass' effect would describe it better. The bottom screen on the DS/3DS also suffers from this. It's really annoying =/
Anyone?

Same for me... I even check in my download list the dual download for shuma and jill, and guess what: Cannot be downloaded to Vita :(

Oh gosh, the demo for Modnation. The slowdown, the sub native res, the motion blur. UGH
I've only seen someone play it, and they should have delayed it at least 2 months to fix all the problems and add online. Weren't the online features some of the prominent features on the PS3 version?

Honestly, this game feels like a write off. Like SCE wanted to write off the money they spent on the PS3 game and reuse the assets quickly for a Vita game. The focus is obviously now on LittleBigPlanet Karting (which has actually been listed as a Vita game on Gamefly, though Sony says that ain't true) and I have a good feeling that's where the actual effort and polish will go to when a Vita version is announced.

Tips on getting my Vita connected to my home network? The icon (in the network setup screen) is alternating from X to connected.

Completely false. Vita has tons of good games. Wipeout 2048, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Hot Shots Golf, Rayman Origins, and a few others I can't think of.

:p

more people need to witness the awesomeness of Virtua Tennis 4. I don't even like tennis and the game is dope.
