I like the white Vita, but my white Kindle is already starting to yellow, so I'm afraid to buy white electronics. I'd totally buy a yellow Vita though. The battery life, start and select buttons, and speaker placement (I constantly cover them with my hands) are all I can think of to change. I suppose the device could be made lighter.

The intro to 2048 was awesome. Totally reminded me of the Gran Turismo 2 one.
The memory situation is still the #1 reason I haven't bought a vita yet but that nyko battery+grips makes me more interested. Playing with vita demo units my hands would cramp after less than 10 minutes due to the awkward form factor for my hands. It's a hand size issue not a hand toughness issue since one of my jobs is very rough/hand intensive.

Wipeout and Hot Shots Golf are $20 permanently at Walmart if you can't make it to GameStop.

I hate this so much. It always happens even when I try to avoid covering them.
You should invest in some nice headphones!

This. Vita supports my overpriced bluetooth beats by dre. Before that, my shures did the job.

Any recommendations? Sound quality is key, but the price needs to be, too. x_x
i wish the ps3 stereo headset worked with the vita. being tethered with a wire to a handheld annoys me.
and im not gonna pay like 200 for wireless bluetooth headsets
Agreed on both counts. I'll deal with the cord for sure, but it would be nice to have free reign. And yeah, money.

I use the offiicial Sony one, the HQ model, came with Socom 4 lol, hell I even have the old Jabra with WarHawk
BT's are hella cheap, unless you want super duper noise cancellation ala Jawbone
Never mind read it as the wrong BT headset lol

As far as sound quality, wired is definitely better than Bluetooth. I would reccomend over the ear than in ear (for ear health) head phones. There are so many companies offering good head phones. My shures cost about 70-100 now. SQ is great.

picked up Unit 13 on thursday at Gamestop for $20, picked up Gravity Rush and MGSHD for $20 each with the B2G2 Best Buy today.
Nice Vita week

Thanks for the recommendation. Anything has to be better than the awful iPod earbuds.

Rubbish. They always sit on games, what do you think the entire purpose of assigning 'slots' is? It's to limit the flow of releases.
And you're being ridiculous if you think RCR has been in cert all this time. The main purpose of cert isn't even to look for bugs, it's to make sure games apply to Microsoft's "technical quality standards" (basically making sure they follow all their rules, like A being select in menus, disconnected controllers are handled properly, etc) and don't open up security holes. They leave actual QA up to the developers and publishers.
If you don't need to keep anything that is on it then just go into settings -> System -> Format and format the memory card.
If you need to keep anything then you get to enjoy Content Manager.
Then you need to restore the whole Vita and log in with your SCEJ account.

Retro City Rampage IS ready for release. The whole waiting game is Microsoft's fault.

AFAIK they're both VGA (i.e. 640x480, i.e. crap)
Next time they should just name the Vita version differently, adjust some features, and release it first. ^_^
Microsoft's whatever policies should _not_ affect Vita in any shape or form. >8^/

Then Microsoft will have a hissy fit and refuse to release the XBLA version.
Their loss.

Uh, I know. That was my point, that Microsoft are holding it up because they only assign a very small amount of slots. I'm guessing they're backed up until after the Summer of Arcade, which means everyone else has to wait to get a release.
Finally got a Vita yesterday, enjoying the hell out of it so far. I think I got a good bargain for the price on eBay: $230 for a Wi-Fi Vita w/ 16 GB Memory Card & PDP System Grips. So far I've bought Dynasty Warriors Next, Mortal Kombat (thanks GameStop!), Gravity Rush, & also Valkyria Chronicles II. The visual fidelity from the screen is blowing my mind, can't believe how great games look on it.
In my opinion the Vita has the best screen I have seen to date on a mobile device.
I prefer holding it the normal way. TOM Blitz is really quite an addictive game, I play it on my Vita almost every day

Not good. I would just use a tablet. Vita doesn't have enough vertical real estate, though I do use the browser sometimes.

Is that jet set radio hasn't been released?
Also if I get the vita version do I get the ps3 version also?
Delusibeta

No, Jet Set Radio hasn't been released for precisely the same reason Retro City Rampage hasn't been released. Dunno about JSR being part of the "buy one get both" trend, but I'm fairly sure Retro City Rampage is one of the B1GB games.

Just bought Virtua Tennis 4 from PSN because of the discount and nostalgia from my Dreamcast days. And damn, what kind of witchcraft are they using for the graphics? Native res, 60fps, the game is beautiful! Not only that, but it plays perfectly and has a lot of content too.
Great purchase!

That wouldn't be an issue if they just allowed for tilt detection like the iPhone.
I mean it's disappointing that the safari browser on my phone is much much better, to the extent that using the vita browser at all just feels shit.

Retro City and Jet Set would be my Vita Summer of Arcade. I wouldn't even touch my PS3 for two months if both games came out now, or in like a week or so.
Sadly it didn't and probably won't happen....
Do I need to deactivate my account first? My NA one.
Koss Porta Pro. The price/quality factor is really good.
Are you going to use that account on the Vita again?
You only need to deactivate if you are never going to use that account. If you ARE going to use that account then just restore the Vita to factory settings and then punch in your SCEJ details and set your memorycard up as you want.
Then you can flip back and fourth.
No it's not, but downloaded NA games and apps will turn unplayable in anyway.
That shit fucking pisses me off to no end.
It's one of the reasons i cannot stand microsoft.

Well, if Sony can secure the rights to timed and full exclusive titles like they did in previous generations, I will be getting a PS4. The PS3 has a better first party library compared to the 360 in my opinion, but the waiting game for DLC and arcade games is ridiculous. That's one of the reasons why I bought a 360 a few years and put the PS3 off to the side.

I heard Unit 13 was good, I think you have just enough for it.
Full games or smaller titles?
Mutant Blobs attack is great. Motorstorm RC is liked by many, Escape plan is good fun too. And Super Stardust Delta of course.
All but Mutant Blobs have demos if I recall correctly.
