Did you pause the Unit 13 demo download half way ? Perhaps a staging copy was in your download folder and the unit crashed or something ?
What bothers me most about the Messages app is that the message you get on the Vita also go on the PS3. Even if you've read them they still show up on the PS3 as unread so I had about 30 messages to go through yesterday. This also includes friend requests.

I didn't, and when I deleted the notifications it cleared up two gigabytes of space on my Vita, so IDK what the deal is with you guys saying it's just notifications. Those are some pretty fucking massive notifications if so.
Yeah... I think for common apps, they should keep them simple/fun to use but functional and *integrated* with the system. e.g., It would be nice if the apps can work with each other closely, from taking screenshot to uploading and tweeting.
*If* we have a high quality browser, we can always use it for the advanced and flexible web apps.
And then, there are probably "pro" apps that are deep and full-featured (probably need to cough up $$$ for them).
That said, I think Flickr should allow multi-file upload, and FaceBook should at least be on par with the latest features (though simplified).
Are you able to click on these people and see their "last seen" time ?
One of the things I have been wondering about Near is how the servers handle the increasing load. Generating the analytics and stats you saw in Near can become time consuming if the dataset is large. I can't see Sony building large database and sophisticated infrastructure just to show us the stats in real-time for free. One way to address this is to let the server work asynchronously.
The new people you found early in the day may indeed be people seen earlier. It's just that the servers barely had time to process your old data, and posted them to you at that instant. It's a little like PS+ servers syncing with PS3 servers @ 2am in the morning.
EDIT:
Just saw Shuhei's tweet on Vita:
I just realized Facebook app on PS Vita allows News Feed scroll up and down and photos zoomed in using back touch. A nice touch indeed
I think back touch usage is nice, but I prefer more fundamental features like better integration with the OS, games and other apps.
Yeah, not saying you did anything wrong necessarily, but something weird is going on there. I have a 4gb card so I have been downloading and deleting stuff quite a bit since I got the Vita and have had no problems like that. Weird.

Bought Burnout: Legends to get my Burnout fix, and Capcom Collection Reloaded.
Wow, it is incredible how great PSP titles look on the Vita. Street Fighter 2 looks and plays great, as it should, but its the best color I've ever seen for the game. The colors really pop.
Burnout: Legends plays great also. Lots of detail I missed before on the PSP version, and considering how much ghosting was on my PSP1000 model, I cannot fathom how I played it after seeing how smooth it is on the Vita.
$20 total, two great games, a ton of games on the Capcom Collection. Money well spent.

I liked it a lot, myself. I was also one of the bigger fans of the original on this forum, though.
I don't know man. In your case, something may have gone wrong in the following steps:
http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/psvita/game/game_store.html
So clearing the trash can freed up the notifications together with whatever residual files they worked with.
:lol How the hell do you accidentally win an ebay auction ? ^_^
Just making sure,
I can download Metal Gear: Peace Walker on my PS3 and download it to the Vita directly. Nothing else needed? I may be wrong but I looked on the PS store and didn't see it in the compatibility list although the list looked bigger than what is currently offered on the Vita's store.

Alright, thanks. Do you know if I can format my old card and tie it to another psn account?
I just finished the first level, and it's off to a good start. Nice art, load times are super-brief, and the platforming feels precise despite the blob-physics.

My frustration has nothing to do with the vita, but rather the attitudes and lack of reading comprehension of some of the members Of this forum. I'd elaborate but I'd probably get banned. KMT and SMH.
Moving on...This IS a issue that I guess can be fixed at a later date. If I recall correctly the early memory stick duos were slow as shit too. Like I said, I have no problem buying overpriced cards, long as they are at least high quality performance wise. The evidence seems anecdotal so far so I'll wait until a definitive answer arrives and make my final decision then. Thank you for replying with a bit of thought, it is much appreciated.
Neither here nor there. Every example you cited is a multipurpose device. The vita is supposed to be a pure gaming experience. The memory cards are a required part of this and as such should be of the highest quality to justify their price. It means little if angry birds loads slowly on a iPod touch compared to an iPhone 4s.
Consistent performance is not necessarily high speed though is it? I kinda have trouble believing that the vita cards are any more consistent than high performance Sandisk cards that are used for HD capture and the like.
I really think this is moving off topic of the current discussion anyway. Im going to shut up now. Enjoy your systems guys. Hopefully I will be more willing to join you once this is cleared up somewhat.
This is both logical and sensible and is the best of both worlds. I may go this route in the end.
The Sony developers cited 2 reasons for the proprietary memory card:
* Security
* Consistent performance
They also help Sony keep the base unit cost low, while Sony earn from people who can afford higher capacity.
That's all we know so far. Sony is still losing $$$ for each unit sold, partly because of strong Yen.
If you have the chance, it's much better to test a real unit. The demo OS is rather limited and the game demoes are too short.
Any details on how people are supposedly testing this?Stephen Colbert said:
The only user-facing speed test I've been able to do is via USB transfers which is testing USB interface, not the cards(on PSPGo, the USB was 4-6MBytes/s, which was 3-4x slower then the actual PSPGo Flash-memory speeds(20MB/s / 15MB/s R/W) - the real numbers were testable thanks to custom Firmware).
I'm curious - but have you ever bought a device with built-in flash before - like iPad, iPod, or one of the smartphones that don't use SDs?ThoughtsOfSpeaking said:
Sure there are cards cheaper then Vita cards - but Flash memory charges in built-in devices are up to 2x higher then what Sony charges for their cards, it's hardly on the high-end of Flash pricing.

That's exactly what I did, so yeah.
Choose the "Hunter" style control scheme and then hold your finger on the screen to assign the right stick to face button camera control.
If you wanted to get a Vita, you could do what I did and just get a 4gb card, and wait for the price to drop/get faster data speeds on the cards before you buy another. I'm just waiting for either a sale or a price drop because the price is ridiculous.
Let me preface this by saying that I don't know much of anything about data speeds, but why does my Vita load up Flying Hamster ever so slightly faster than the PSP Go does if it's 3-4x slower?

Hey this has probably been brought up already but anyone play
Parasite Eve 3 on the Vita?
I always wanted to get it on PSP but wasn't sure if it turned out to be a great game or mediocre one.

Apologies if this has been answered already, but how does the vita do in an offline situation. Most of my gaming will be done on my subway commute with no connection and I really don't want a million notifications telling me that the vita has failed to connect to PSN. Before Apple fixed it, the popup you got every time Gamecenter failed to connect bugged the crap out of me. Thanks ahead of time for any responses.

So Uncharted Golden Abyss has made a fan of the series again. After being extremely disappointed with Uncharted 3, I took a chance with Golden Abyss. And after only about 8 chapters, I prefer it to part 3.
I don't have the measurements or specs. But consistency and high speed are indeed different things. May be it is possible that high performance cards on the market do not offer consistent enough throughput ?
Sony probably also want to make some $$$ themselves instead of subsidizing the base hardware and pay a third party for the memory cards. They may feel more comfortable keeping the memory card security to themselves too.
Great timing!
It's only an issue if you make it an issue. You should just say you don't want the system and that you're looking for a reason to not purchase it - and move on. Beating around the bush about bullshit write speeds and memory card quality is a lame way to say you don't consider the system/cards worth the current asking price.
You pay to play. And the current buy in price is a premium. However, if you ask anyone in here who owns the system, and have put in a few hours with the top games, you'd see that everyone considers it money well spent. What the fuck else do you need to hear?

Thanks for this!
I had 1.3 GB of storage missing on my memory card, it turns out, when I downloaded Tactics Ogre, for some reason when my first download was paused, even after resuming (and installing the game) the original paused download was still in my notifications list, so a duplicate of the file was there, essentially taking up space
Pretty odd, but at least I figured out the problem

If I was just looking for a reason not to buy, I wouldn't have spent the last hour discussing it here. I actually have better things to do with my time,which is why I find some of the responses here so ridiculous.
Ancedotal recommendations don't come into it. I know what I want and how much I'm willing to pay for it. Whether you or anyone else feels different is meaningless to me. I only ask questions because like all my gadget purchases, I do my research first.

HA that was a great read man thanks. I have so much great stuff to play right now maybe ill just wait till I have more time.
3G Vita offers the following benefits:
* GPS
Applications/games that require knowledge of your location will work more accurately with 3G. You don't have to subscribe to any 3G data plan to use the GPS capability.
* Access to cell data networks
A few games include 3G game mode, but most other games simply use the data connectivity to update stats, leaderboard and scores. You need to subscribe to a data plan for this.

Thinking of picking up blazblue. does it support near's gifting?
And what exactly is that? You know what you want, but how much are you willing to pay for what is currently available? Serious question because I feel more than enough info is available now that the system is out. Not to mention that demo stations are pretty much everywhere games are sold.
Have you played anything yet?
Game is awasome IMO. Fuck haters.
Game shines most at the end and where you play NG+. And there is crazy amout of stuff to unlock and gain.

I adore the full game of Modnation. What's wrong with the demo?

Got my Hori screen protector and got it on the first try. Not too tricky.
Also got the travel case. With the power cord in it it's a bit snug, but everything fits.
