Backward Compatibility
Play all your old digital PSP games on that pretty OLED screen. Filtering is optional and you can even assign buttons to the right analog stick.

For at least some games:
• Load times are faster.
• Framerate is better (compared to stock 222mhz PSP and 333mhz overclocks).
• Dithering is sadly still present, but bilinear filtering helps a bit with it, especially on 2d content.
• The OLED makes a difference with overall image clarity as well - even the non-dithered PSP games look somewhat grainy on original hardware when viewed side-by-side.

Digital Foundry | " If it's a pure gaming machine you're after[...], PlayStation Vita is precisely catered towards your needs."
Engadget | "[...]it's hard to shake the Vita's siren call: adopt early, it says, I'm worth it."
Eurogamer | "[...]PlayStation Vita is potentially the most powerful and flexible gaming handheld ever[...]"
Game Revolution | "The Vita is seemingly the perfectly built device."
IGN UK | "Despite its faults and the challenges it may face in the larger consumer market, it remains an impressive handheld. It offers gameplay experiences never before seen on a portable device and with time, could emerge as a powerhouse mobile platform."
Kotaku | "This is indeed, the most powerful and physically capable gaming handheld ever made, one sold for a reasonable price and that supports both the buy-games-at-a-gameshop lifestyle and the download-everything one."
TheSixthAxis | "[...]it sports one hell of a screen – it really is impressive, the resolution high enough to keep everything crisp and the colours really do pop – it’s especially gorgeous at night and surpasses everything else I’ve seen[...]"
The Verge | "The PlayStation Vita is quite simply the most desirable handheld gaming device yet released."
The Verge (Video Review) | "[insert quote here]"

[IMPRESSIONS]
This thing makes a great first impression, it's a very slick piece of kit, the speakers are clear and loud and the OLED screen is just simply gorgeous
The Vita is some seriously lust-worthy hardware.
This thing is hot sex.
So this is the "I can't believe I'm playing this on a handheld" feeling I've been wanting for so long. Amazing device.
Yo this shit is outstanding, best gaming handheld ever automatically.

Q: What is this First Edition bundle I've been hearing about?
A: It's a bundle with a Playstation Vita, a case, a 4 GB memory card, Little Deviants and it's available a week early (Feb 15). In the US it's $349.99 and you'll get the 3G version of the PS Vita. In Canada it's $299.99 and it comes with the wi-fi only version.

That subtitle is really unfortunate, it will surely draw low sales and death jokes.

Edit: Too late!
 
What went wrong with the 1st OT !?
EDIT: Is Ys Seven compatible !?
EDIT2: Shit shit shit, I ruiend the whole thing, I am so sorry, is there any way I can deleted this post !?
EDIT3: Nevermind, other people messed it up completely.
Don't worry about it, a mod can delete the post for you. The forum software can't currently handle very large threads with more than 20,000 posts. That's why there is a part 2.

So to the person who posted those Unit 13 pics in the other thread, is the demo up or have you played it? If so, what do you think? Will a SOCOM fan like it? Thanks.

I have the full game... and yeah, it's pretty sweet, controls are good too. I actually can't believe the game looks that good on a portable. Don't think the demo is up yet.

i wasn't gonna get a vita, well when it was first shown to the world i said YES, WANT!! ..but then no EA support initially my interest waned .... but yeh, the moment i saw fifa - i knew i had to have it.

so i'll be picking mine up in just a little over a day's time .... but it's kinda made me question if i still REALLY need to upgrade my phone this year.

My S2 runs ICS like a dream, the phone size is just right .... vita just made every touch only "virtual control sticks" mobile game look like the shit they are ..... what reasons can the phone company's use to tempt us into buying new phones this year.

games are a huge driver, to show off the power of these things .... this year though when the phone company's roll out there new phones they will no longer be the best looking mobile games around ...

wonder if on the flip side vita actually takes the shine of phones coming this year.

i know it's made me seriously question upgrading

Thank you. Now I have another game to get excited over. Hopefully they do some extra missions as DLC or something to keep it going too.
 
I forgot to mention in the last topic that the PS Mini Where Is My Heart doesn't work on the Vita currently. Hoping for an update soon to fix that.

Does anyone who has jak and daxter the lost frontier know if the game works on Vita? I want to scratch that itch and already finished Daxter.

EDIT: Never mind, just saw the IGN video review :p
 
Guys, please help me out on this one. I wanna buy two US Vita games ( FIFA soccer and Wipeout ). But will the content be the same and will I be able to go online on a European network?

Any word on this?
