And even i am moderately surprised
Just a reminder, Sumioni on Tuesday
is there anything else out in the west? I've run out of games to buy #shameface.
I might (EMPHASIS HERE) get off my lazy arse and do one if we don't take the boy to some local kid themed fun centre today. Though given the previous dissing of my Japanese ability it'll probably be : Menu A - TELL PLAYER THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL BODY , Menu B - HOLD SELF AGAINST OTHER PLAYER, Menu C - EXPLODE NIPPLES

Hmm, for some reason none of my games are able to connect to PSN anymore (stays stuck in connecting to playstation network). The store works, internet connection test passes fine, browser works, near works etc. Anyone else with the same problem?

I was playing a level in Mutant Blobs Attack for the 3rd time in a row to find the missing blob friend, and it's an annoying ass level. I finally found it, went through the rest of the level again, and right when I finished the level I got this screen:
It didn't save any of it. Anyone see this error screen before?
Nope, but that's scary. I'm trying to 100% the trophies.

Oooh bad luck man! I've had that screen a few times, not sure if it was the same error code though. Actually had the machine lock up on me about a dozen times since launch but doesn't bother me too much.
Of course that will change if one day it corrupts a save and I lose everything!

I had this error once and the game basically closed or froze my system. I also had the stuttering audio but it seemed to stop after world 3 or so. The only other game to give my system fits is the Unit 13 demo.

I feel a little bit better knowing that other people have seen the error. It's also pretty sweet to so easily take a screenshot of it. I really like the screenshot feature.
Awesome, thanks!
Awesome, thanks!
Ended up just buying the thing along with Persona 1 and IS. No actual Vita games but eventually I will see something that catches my eye.
The device is slick as hell but I was just shocked to find out it had no onboard memory, PS2 or PS1 game suppose (I really hope those are coming). It's also a fucken disgrace that they force you to use the touch screen to do things that would be far easier with the actual face buttons.

Sony has put up a detailed error descriptions now:

I advise everyone to bookmark that URL for future reference.

Honestly, I'm not sure how good the interface would work using buttons. I too initially hated the fact that it was touch only, but after using my vita for a few days now, its not so bad afterall.

I'm with you on that, I would like to use the dpad to control home windows and live screens l/r.
I'm debating between P3P and Wipeout 2048 considering I am addicted to the demo, but have never played a Persona game. Really can't afford both considering I've already bought Tactics Ogre.
My staple game remains Super Stardust though, great game.
P3P is like 75-100 hours and new game + I would push that for cause it's a great experience
But it might get price drop soon

I got that screen with uncharted.

I have to admit I found it weird they didn't allow both touch and button navigation of the UI. After a while though, didn't care. And I do think button navigation would be slower... the UI is designed more as iOS affair and more clicks would be required to cycle through app bubbles and especially many potential active objects in a live page.
I can understand if some people hate being forced to also use it as a tablet-like device instead of treating it purely as a PSP. Though... I wouldn't be surprised if that was an intentional decision on their part. To reinforce to the potential buyer that it was really a lot like those popular smartphone/tablet devices.
Actually, the argument is just fine. The Xbox controller was a result of how Sony flipped it in the west, more an example of its effect than that O confirm/X Cancel was the exception, and the GC controller STILL has cancel kept to the left of confirm, unlike the western Playstation/Xbox set up where it's to the right. For the PS set up to match the GC roughly you'd need SQUARE as cancel.Not a very good argument. Look where the A button is on these controllers.
I just like options, nice to go to PSP games without risking screen smudges. Plus within games it's not as likely to be as nice as the OS (Uncharted's menus were clearly controller optimized). Really though it's a bigger deal when the DS or Wii pull this sort of thing, Wii depends on the remote's batteries and it's sort of ridiculous to need to bother if I'm just going to play a GC game, while the DS requires me to pull out the stylus or else use the tip of my finger nail or whatever.

Which grip do you guys recommend?

Hasn't it been on sale like twice a year? That might be quite the wait.... Still I know I'll end up getting something before Gravity Rush comes out and it will probably be P3P. I've heard good things
.I don't know about most other games but it's stupid that Uncharted forces you to use touch controls to navigate the menu before you start playing. There's zero reason for me to swipe to the side with my finger in the menu instead of using the d-pad or stick. I could understand the argument if it's a game where you don't use the d-pad or stick at all but it's stupid when you do use it in the game itself.

Well you are the 2nd person I've seen to mention Uncharted specifically with that complaint, so I will certainly take your word for it. I was thinking more of the OS menus. I can see how it might be annoying for Uncharted, though.

I wish there was an option to constantly stay online for the OS and all games.
I bought the 360 and Vita version at the same time so sure?
I don't have a problem with it in the OS either since it's faster but there should be an option for those who'd rather use the buttons. I like the way Hot Shots Golf does it because you can use either method. I never use the touch mechanic in the menus but it's there for those who like that.
Those are the same people who tried to push the awful motion controls in the first game. I was not surprised one bit that they didn't learn their lesson.
The part that bothers me is the fact that they make you "swipe" when I could just touch the option that I want.
I think MLB does menus really well

DD-only will lead to multiple memory sticks fast, do you really want to try and keep track of those tiny bastards?
Do you have a proper game card case? The HORI looks nice, and their DS/3DS cases have been amazing for me so far.

Yup, got that screen (or something like that) while playing Lumines ES last night.
I was really surprised :/

According to the error code list that patsu posted, that error means a "hangup while using application." Sounds like a really generic error code compared to others I see on the list.
I had it in the official vita travel pouch, which is great, but the slots to hold games are just squares of fabric which apparently don't hold games too well. Hopefully it'll turn up, I still need to check my vacuum

I'm not sure if they all shared the same error code, but I've gotten this pop-up at least 4-5 times in social apps (namely foursquare and Flickr), but never had them in a game yet. I've just viewed them as your average mobile app crashes and errors thrown by half-assed app builds, however I had no idea that game crashes are possible and behave the same way. It's a bit concerning (losing unsaved progress? smh).I was playing a level in Mutant Blobs Attack for the 3rd time in a row to find the missing blob friend, and it's an annoying ass level.

Not really. Mostly because most of us already own it on consoles.
I wouldn't mind being able to use right shoulder, page down, left shoulder page up, but the rest of the touch in the OS is fine with me.
