No way anyone fitting a Vita in their pocket unless they wear size 40+ pants, plus the analog sticks sticking out

I just turned it off.
You can fit a Vita in a pair of baggy pants or a jacket. I tried it on multiple occasions (e.g, to hide it from my son). No issue with the dual sticks too. I am average height and build.
However, I plan to look for a small carrying case/bag that can fit an iPad and/or Vita. These days, I'll either carry an iPad or Vita out. My friend bought one for $20 from Asia for his iPad 2. Looks casual and good.
I looked at the MacBook Air carrying cases too. I think some of those will be suitable also if you have a MB Air.
The PS3 games are amazing (especially 2). You won't regret it if you do get a PS3.

Yeah, I had pretty much the same experience. I just ignored the tilt aiming, and used the other thumbstick to aim. For the most part, just using the snap-to-aim works mostly well enough on it's own. Deadly quick with the Dragonov sniper rifle, instant one shot kills.
The gyro aiming ? I use it but I did not turn on aim-assist. Will try it tonight.

Uncharted is a great series. You can find the double pack for 30 and Uncharted 3 for 30 nowadays. Great deal.
I got the game from HK account after PSN outage, anyway I can dl it to my card with the US account and earn trophies with that account?
I didn't know that, that is really cool. Will have to try the demo and see if I want to get it because that's a really good use of async mp.
On another note, I'm playing through Golden Abyss atm and I'm really liking it; the shooting is really fun once you get the hang of the gyro aiming. But there are a couple of... eccentricities that don't seem to fit well with the game. The Doppler Effect the devs used on enemies that are falling off ledges is really jarring. It sounds like they go through 5 years of puberty in the span of 3 seconds.

The build quality is fine. It has already protected my Vita from a drop. The flex in the case actually helps absorb any impacts. It is a highly functional case and exactly what I was looking for. If another company comes out with the same design but in poly carbonate, I will buy that one. But for now this case is the perfect one for my day to day use.

I actually wish the sticks were placed lower on the Vita. Another few cm lower would have been great, there just simply isnt enough space in between the D-Pad and the left stick.

I wouldn't buy it just yet if you don't already have it. It might get a 30% discount if it wins PSP game of the year (and since that category only has 3 games, one of which is sort of a demo, it has pretty good chances of winning).
Edit: LOL 2 minutes late.
That site is banned for a reason.
The official Sony power adaptor is 11 on Amazon in Germany (US is $15) which struck me as pretty cheap considering what they charge for some accessories. It's also cheaper than the official PSP ones.
Maybe. I dunno. I guess it's the action game whore in me that is like, "NO 30FPS IS UNACCPETABLE!"
But then I play it and I'm like, "This is awesome. It shouldn't be awesome because 30fps in an action game is unacceptable, but it is awesome."
I'm torn
No screen tearing is nice, though. That stuff gives me a headache.
Oh it's banned, ok didn't know should I edit it out or just let it stay?
Share games? Huh?

Thanks for the response. I'm 6'2 195 pounds, so maybe the natural size of my clothes will give me enough wiggle room to fit it in a pocket. I just don't know if I can justify buying this if it's not "portable" enough. It's not like I'd carry my Go and Vita just so I could use the smaller device as an mp3 player. That'd be nucking futs.

share games? no that was never announced that im aware of.
The uninformed display talk in this thread and my own curiosity got the best of me, so I present this:
I wish I could have added an original DS lite to the comparison, but I don't know how to make that show a black screen.
The Galaxy S2 actually looks better than the Vita in absolute blackness, but it's a competition at a level entirely unreachable by LCD. It's like comparing SSD access times when the competition is a spinning HDD.

I actually think that as amazing as the game looks and plays (and I certainly consider it to be amazing) that the new Hero mode actually increases the fun factor for those of us who don't have tne fastest and smoothest reflexes. Not dieing a thousand times = me much less likely to rage quit. I'd recommend Sigma + to anyone who's never beaten the game just because of that one new addition.

So can someone give me a breakdown of the party system? I see that it lets us talk and txt message but how do we play a game together? Do we do that from the game or from the party system?

I think you CAN share a DD game with one other account. I remember in the olden days of PS3 you could share with up to 5 different accounts.
I guess now it's 2. It's still something.

Does it make me a bad person that I'd rather get Dissidia?

I'm voting for Dissidia. It's the more expensive title and I really want to play it :0

I remember this being a huge thing when I was researching to buy plasma two years ago. Next tele for me will be OLED.
Not for MP3 playback. The default player is too simple to begin with.
The NAX music player seems more interesting, but I don't know if it's coming to US.
I bought a Vita and carry it around mostly for the combined entertainment experiences; sometimes gaming, sometimes surfing, sometimes looking at family photos, playing music collection etc.
I have an iPhone 4S. Prefer to save the battery there for calls, camera, YouTube and more surfing. Have been charging it all too often. I *hope* my cell can last for more than 1-2 days without recharging. ^_^
It would be nice if I can sync my media from iPhone over to Vita wirelessly.
Well, it does support rear touching...
So I really like my Vita and have been considering doing this to it.
Good/bad idea?
What the fuck?
Played with a Vita for a bit today for the first time. I was shocked at how light it was. Lovely. But I was surprised at how low the sticks felt. Still, definitely want one.

How about a compromise of being able to swap around the locations manually. Perhaps it's a space issue, but if it was plausible- they should have done.
First, man with nice *ss, and then man in briefs. Now this... >_<
Someone please add me on PSN so I don't feel as bad with no Vita players on my list...lol
PSN is "Demolitio"
This handheld has me much more excited than the 3DS did. Just the technology alone blows me away and thinking about games a year or two from now makes me drool at how good they'll look and how great they'll control with less of the gimmicks by then.

you will be crapping pan cakes for a while...
go for it!
Why not turn it off and just use auto aim?
I'd add so many more people but my friends list is currently at 98 people and I just weeded out a bunch of inactive users. Raising the cap even to 150 would be great.
Will add you though.
