Weak willed! Like the rest of us who got it, I suppose.

Very weak willed, but that's probably because I was so darn excited for the system, but I just decided to get the 3G launch bundle out of frustration last night of not getting the FEB. But now I'm more calmed down and thought..."hmm friday's not too bad."

Feeling a little dirty huh?

Very.

im having a problem. i cant seem to transfer my psp games from my ps3 to the vita. they dont even show up to transfer, its just blank...any pro tips?

 

[jcutner]

This is probably best for the dedicated Screenshot thread, but if you guys wanted to see a cap of Lumines

 

[Verelios]

Which of these PSP games should I buy? I've spent too much already on the Vita but I want at least one more PSP game for now.

Tactics Ogre 2
Final Fantasy Tactics 1
Phantom Brave 3

I'd rate them in that order. Tactics after FF because it's just way longer. One campaign in Ogre is about a game in FF. Just crazy.

Phantom Brave is a good game though, and I'd get it eventually if you could. It just isn't as good as the two prior ones.

 

[BruiserBear]

Holy shizzlez dat GAF attach rate. Talk about buying games, hahaha.

You have to keep in mind that the people getting the system today are the crazy early adopters. They're paying extra to have the thing early. Their attach rate is not at all the norm.

Is there a tower defense game for PSP/Vita ?

 

[onlyindreams]

So is UMvC worth getting? Haven't played it on consoles but the idea of fighting as Phoenix Wright sounds amazing.

Making up for the slackers later this month.

 

[pharmboy044]

This UI, the multitasking, the speed, the graphics, the way the games look and feel, the dpad, the analog sticks, the store...this thing is amazing.

the screen on this thing is seriously jesus christ

Seriously guys, you're not making this week any easier....

 

[VanWinkle]

We can only hope we get a Pixeljunk Monsters for Vita. The PSP version is fine, but I find that tower defense works really well with touchscreens.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

I really wanna buy VCII and DJ Max but I am wondering if there will be a sale on PSP games next week...or a price hike lol

 

[MrMephistoX]

Plastic, the whole vita is made of plastic.

Vita doesn't have bad dreams cause she's just a piece of plastic.

As for PSP games I'm thinking of grabbing Persona 3 based on how good some of the Vita enhancements look.

 

[Ken]

The game is fun, and its transition to the Vita is very well done. It's a great online game. As for fighting with Phoenix Wright, he's a pretty weird character and a little difficult to use. You should ask around the UMvC3 OT about him before dropping $40 on a game you may or may not stick with because Wright isn't what you expected.

I picked up the Hori TPU shell for the Vita today. It seems alright, although the top portion is a little loose and it leaves my hands with a weird sticky feeling. The feeling should go away after a few days of use, I hope.

I'm totally not the norm... never gave a crap about handhelds 'till this thing was announced.

I wonder if there will be many others like me. Guess we'll see.

 

[nicoga3000]

Anyone? This launch is so good it almost hurts.

DJ Max 3 is pretty great for $20. While I prefer the song selection of 1 and 2, if you're a fan of the series, it's worth it.

I bought Gods Eater Burst for the launch, and I just started playing it. Hot Shots has drained my battery though, so I only got a small bit of play time with it. Everything I've seen and read suggests that it's a slightly easier MH, but similar in feel.

I'm grabbing Katamari as I love the series - its gotten some interesting reviews because of the rehash, but there's a lot of guilty pleasure in playing anything Katamari.

Also, for what it's worth, Gods Eater Burst loads SOOO fast...I think all PSP games load extra quick from what I hear.

 

[Chocoboko]

Has anyone been able to get the 3G setup through ATT? I finish the part with my address/info and it gives me some error on submit and just tells me to restart. Tried it twice and gave up.

I never gave a crap about Sony handhelds until Gravity Daze was shown.

Seems like it's best to do it on AT&T's website on your computer.

DJ Max was $40 like, 2 days ago. $20 is bro pricing mang. Bro as hell.

 

[Sallokin]

Grrrr. I still can't get this thing to charge via USB on my PC or my PS3. The USB setting is turned on, and I know for a fact it worked prior to the system update because I saw the squiggly battery line while I was setting it up.

I feel like the solution is probably simple and I'm over thinking it, but I saw that others were having the same problem.

 

[CSX]

Is there a thread dedicated to pics of that beautiful oled?

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Any news on when PSone Classics on PSN will be playable on a Vita? That's the main thing I'm looking out for.

Also, will Netflix be available in Canada for the VITA of its for the US only?

 

[TheExodu5]

Quick impressions:

1) User interface is nice and responsive. Love the multitasking.
2) Screen is gorgeous.
3) Analog sticks are nice, but Uncharted certainly doesn't make very good use of them.
4) Gyro aiming in Uncharted is incredible. Totally unexpected. Incredibly intuitive and precise...though it's more for fine tuning your aim and not the sole aiming method.
5) Not a fan of the Vita card slot. I would rather have the card flush to the device like on the DS rather than having to pull out a little plastic tab every time I want to switch games. I might go mostly digital solely due to this.

Is netflix available at all right now?

 

[Blastoise]

People please post pics!

 

[Glassboy]

I actually don't mind gyro controls because the viewing angle on this thing is ridiculous. The fact that it looks amazing from any angle blows my mind.

 

[Chocoboko]

Oh, nice. I didn't even think you could do that. Is there a specific link I need to use to set it up?

 

[iamvin22]

nice gift just showed up from sony, thanks

 

[JohnnyPhatsaqs]

Umm...Little Deviants will not install. Get error code E-8010100c EVERY time. Have tried about 6 times. All my other games worked just fine

 

[theBishop]

Am i the only one on edge with the Vita's chances for success? I want the Vita to do well , I don't want Smartphones and Tablets to be the future of mobile gaming.

Did Farmville kill Red Dead Redemption?

The "core" gamer audience is growing. The blockbuster hits are bigger than ever. Even Nintendo, who obviously had a smash hit with Wii is now looking to get a bigger piece of the "core" pie with WiiU. The more enthusiast audience is smaller, but spends more money.

The sheer number of people playing games on smartphones eclipses the audience for a dedicated handheld. But I think the dedicated handheld audience is growing too.

 

[chubigans]

Hows everyones experience with NEAR? I actually have 5 people playing around me. Didn't expect that!

Near gets my address wrong -_- keeps telling me I live in a city 4 hours away from here

I have only tried it from my home, but it searched a 2m radius and didn't find anyone.

Been pretty good. Found 8 people nearby, only 3 were sharing their profile names. One struck up a conversation with me about whether Lumines was more like part 1 than part 2 lol and asked how the soundtrack was etc.

I'm feeling pretty positive about it so far.

 

[Bullza2o]

So it actually doesn't keep increasing the radius until it sees someone?

Of course.

 

[KalBalboa]

Just saw this in person and bought it: free $20 gift card when you buy a Vita at Target ($1 preorder).

Old news?

 

[Dartastic]

Do you need a memory card to save games? Or do the games actually save on the game cartridges?

 

[AranhaHunter]

I saw the boxes for the carts at Best Buy today. Real small, same width as the PSP boxes, but about 60% of the height. Makes it much more attractive IMO.

 

[Averon]

Has there been any comparisons with Near's performance between the WiFi and 3G unit?

 

[Misterhbk]

Of course.

where? in fact I'm not seeing any of the apps like facebook, netflix, etc.

I'd like to agree but even here where it is an enthusiast board there is a pretty large following for iOS games that's growing every day. These are people who are moving away from handheld gaming too. Part of the reason is simply the phone is with them and they'd rather not carry a dedicated handheld too. I think it's a real issue and not the same as social gaming vs pc and console gaming.

FUN FACT

Music still plays in stand by mode.

yeah i had troubles with it too. it seemed like it was timing out. they are probably getting hammered right now. maybe try it later or tomorrow.



as for near, i'm in bfe arkansas and was shocked that there are three other folks within three miles of me playing. one dude has shinobido 2 and marvel vs capcom. i don't have either of those. the other two have hotshots golf but for some reason i can't see their names. they must have the game set to public and their name set to private or something.

 

[FStop7]

I got mah Vita. Only bought FIFA on card. I think I am going to get Rayman, Lumines, and Super Stardust via the digital download network system.

 

[raven777]

This is my quick impression, comparing to my 10 minutes at the VITA kiosk in gamestop few weeks ago

1) The weight is really light!! - I didn't notice at gamestop, but it is really light. It was same surprise I got when I switched from PSP 1000 to 2000.

2) OLED is beautiful! - I didn't really notice it as much at gamestop, probably due to all the fingerprints and oils at the screen. But yea, when I actually saw it today, it was beautiful. I am iphone4 user, and I like VITA OLED's color more. But mayb because of ppi, iphone4 looks better on web browser

3) Build quality is great - I was a bit worried that it was all plastic, including the front screen. I still wish it had used gorilla glass, but it still looks and feel premium. I was actually impressed with the build quality of my friend's 3DS (compare to NDSL), but this is even better.

4) OS UI is better than what I expected from photos and videos, but it still has big room for improvement. I hope they will update it in the future, or allow more user customization.

5) d-pad, face buttons, and analog sticks feel great! I was worried about the button size at first, but it still feels nice. I think if I get used to it, it will feel better. L, R buttons are probably my biggest disappointment.

I don't know if its my wifi or vita, but PSN store download seems a bit slow.

Yea overall, it looks and feels impressive. The only thing I wish they would fix soon would be some UI adjustment and PC to Vita transfer.
