She's the lady who handles some important PlayStation Store job and gets blamed on as she's the one who posts the US Blog posts. She never responds to comments, nor has she or the team ever explained why SCEA can't choose a specific time to update pSN and stick with it. We've had updates anywhere from 3PM EST to 12AM EST. No consistency and never a response as to why.

It's hard to play any handheld in the light, I stopped taking them on car trips unless its a late night drive I can never see the screen.

Can someone give me a brief explanation of what do I need to do to get something (namely a Ridge Racer touch screen demo) to work on my US Vita? I have two memory cards and I can dedicate one to this demo and whatever other Japanese-only stuff I'd put on it.
Also, where in the JP store can I find this demo?

Thanks for all the answers. How about the Pull & Go Folio, how is the case that you can detach from the FOLIO ? I saw the folio at Walmart and Gamestop, but the price is kind of high.
What is this touch screen Ridge Racer demo you speak of? I can't seem to find any footage of it on Youtube.

I still bring my vita everywhere with me, you know, for near function.
Yeah I do as well, and the 3DS for streetpass, just never actually use them to play games on the road.
WOW that is really cool, is that the actual intro of the retail product?

Thanks for the info. There really is no excuse for why that couldn't pick a specific time and stick with it. In fact, I find it kind of amateurish that they can't.

I look up/down a lot by accident when controlling the camera. I'm getting used to it, as others have said. The problem is mostly with PSN titles due to it usually being digital input the analog is emulating.

Just bought my Vita this weekend. Loving it so far, but I'm having a strange problem using Near: it simply cannot find my location, than it goes back to its main screen. Does anyone know the solution for this problem?

I will.
Apparently there's nasty slowdown in the Vita version.
Its not as bad as people are making it sound. Its ONLY during cutscene replays and its minor. Batting/pitching/fielding is constantly smooth.
The first few times I used NEAR (wifi) I had this problem. I had to go and make sure I shared my location and shared my ID and all that stuff. Just mess around in the System options.

I left home for work an hour early and went to toys r us for the show and unit 13. Their ups shipment hadn't come yet.. so I stood around waiting since they said it should be in any second ... needless to say I waited a full hour and left empty handed. ;/

Normal.
Any second in retailer words mean = we have no idea but hopefully it will come soon

I've got the Pull N' Go from Gamestop for $30(I think). It's very nice. The zipper is a bit cheap but inside has a large pocket to store the ac adapter and there is a large section for holding cards. I haven't really examined that too much because I only have 1 game now.
It's very similar inside to the 3DS version except for the pouch that holds the Vita. The inside is microfiber. There are slots cut out on both sides for the joysticks to fit in so the screen can lay flush against the case without crushing the sticks. It's also got a string to pull the Vita up so you don't have to dig in to get it out. It's secured by velcro and the front has slots for 4 retail game cards. Overall I was impressed with how well done the pull case is over the 3DS version.

They do usually have a routine time that their shipments come, but they have 0 information to go off of.
Lol, Unit 13 isn't worth waiting 5 minutes for

Sorry for the ignorance but UK people follow baseball?? I talk to a few people from UK but none seem to like the sport lol.
The British guy on Radio Free Nintendo LOVES American Football. It's weird.

It's got a larger fanbase than people might think. Not quite as big as the NFL and NHL fanbases over here but noticable none the less. (American football gaining a ridiculous amount in recent years)
But i guess the sales when the series was released over here weren't good enough for sony. Still given its more well known & baseball has got bigger over here since then they could have at least given us a PSN release.

Are you able to save PSP games on vita? When I try to save data on Street Fighter Alpha 3, it says, that no memory card is found
Darkstalkers did the same thing -- said I had no space left. Just pass the screen, go into options, and hit "Save"/turn on AutoSave-- it'll work.
Dammit, I don't need to spend any more money but I'm super tempted to pick up Unit 13 or The Show tonight. Both seem like great portable games. I'm not big on baseball, but I'd like to have a sports game on my Vita and The Show is supposed to be great...Unit 13 could also fill a niche, and reviews are generally positive so far...gah, this thing is gonna bankrupt me.
The Show is pretty hardcore... If you're not big on baseball it might be a little much for you.

Yeah, hardware wise it's probably the best Sony has made ever. It's really the PlayStation Comfortable.

Can someone from the US go to the PS Store and see how many rankings Uncharted: Golden Abyss has? The same goes for someone from UK.

1,823 ratings on the US store.

If I'm honest, I tried one for the first time yesterday (waiting on my check to actually go out and get one) and I was a little less than impressed with the comfort.
The analogs are a bit small, and with the way I hold a Vita my fingers have to curl in a lot more than I'm used to so that they don't accidentally rub across the rear touchscreen. And that D-Pad is not good to me at all, it feels more like the X360 pad (but not nearly as bad as that). I really don't see why they didn't keep the PS2/PSP pad which in my mind is still the best pad made.
I did what you just said, but when I exit Option menu and Vita tries to autosave, the game is stuck on this screen
