You won't be able to play multiplayer without WiFi, but you can transfer purchases from the store from your PC or PS3.
Posted by Wario64 in the PS3 Firmware 4.0 thread. This update mainy deals with content management stuff the PS3 can do to Vita data. Is this a sign of some of the security stuff the Vita will do?

That makes me think it's using Bluetooth to connect the two, should be much better than Remote Play was in the PSP.
Huh, how exactly?
Maximum speed of WiFi 802.11b - 11Mbps
Maximum speed of Bluetooth 2.0 EDR - 3Mbps
I don't know about you but I'm not seeing how bluetooth could be in anyway an improvement here. Especially not when 802.11g is an option.
WiFi for the video stream and Bluetooth for the controls.
Actually I was thinking the same thing. Well, as long as you're not trying to claim that video streaming via buetooth would be an improvement, I have no issues.

It's just the registration that's diferent. It's the same if you use PC remoteplay since you can't plug in ur PC through USB to automate the registration.

I wonder if any other titles will have English in them at launch, like Uncharted has.

I just checked this out and I really like the screen protector - the button form template they use for placing it is a great idea! It looks like it will make it a breeze to get the screen protector placed perfectly. I'll be picking this up day one with my Vita...

If it's really that easy, I think I'll pick one too. Always had a protector on my DS screens, but putting one on the PSP was beyond my patience.
Still wondering which case/pouch I should pick. I like the one with which you still can play, mostly because it's the only small one that's hard. The only let down is lack of place to put game carts, which can be annoying when going on longer trips. Oh wait, the battery won't last that long...
My B-spec Bob is ready.

Wait. What? Seriously? This is not what I imagined when they said remote play. I remember trying to play Bionic Commando from the PS3 to the PSP, and that was the last time I tried that ever again. If this works even decently, that is amazing. (If true, that is)
It works same as Onlive. Connection lag between Vita and PS3 is crucial for playing fast paced games.

Possibly old news but Lumines Electronic Symphony is apparently out at launch in Europe/US

Which probably also means that while in theory you could do the cross country thing, in practice it's more practical as a "Hey I wanna play that game but not go over to your place" thing.

I attended the Vita event in Nagoya last week here in Japan and I got in on the Nagoya video report, I'm the token gaijin.
They even posted it on my birthday, how nice of them. lol Bring on the abuse!

That's pretty cool. I only watched it to find you....
On a side note: Why do Japanese sites usually upload low quality video when their average internet speed in the country is ridiculously fast?

I was actually asked to say that as well as the over exaggerated arms/hand movement. Gaijin clown FTW!
Their UI video is worth highlighting.

Looks so slick.
They show how you can edit the pages, move apps around etc. How to change the page background. More of the index page too.
They seemed to have a bit of multitasking going on there too, between Wipeout and a few other apps.

Looks so nice and responsive. I must be one of the very few who prefer this to the XMB on Vita.

I didn't know. Great news!
So yeah, chalk up another middleware engine on Vita as Silicon Studio (3D Dot Game Heroes) is bringing the Orochi Engine to the handheld.
I found you!! Cute video. Japanese kids saying "tanoshkatta" into the camera was highly adorable. You did a great job as the token gaijin. Represent!
I don't know what you think you're seeing there, but Bluetooth pairing doesn't rely on such numbers. Pairing is time/proximity based, with plain text names solely for human-readable disambiguation purposes. System pins, if enabled, are only 4 digits.
I want this thing to support Wifi G (and be Wifi N ready for downloads/PS4 awesomeness). I don't know if a second dedicated connection for controls isn't more hassle than it's worth. Bluetooth range is shorter than Wifi, and the "epicentres" of service may not even be the same (Wifi connection to router, BT connection to PS3). Interesting idea though.

Most likely so that it could be streamed to cell phones in the Underground, trains, etc.

This is such an incredible gift for me! I get motion sickness playing many games on the big screen (Arkham Asylum, for instance, makes me motion sick if I play it for more than 30 minutes at a time) but never when using a handheld - remote play will actually let me play SO MANY games on the Vita that I was unable to complete on my PS3!!

Awful. Doooooomed, etc.
Because making mobile versions of game/trailer sites is too damn complicated?

I've got some PS3/Vita comparisons from that link in case people cannot be arsed to click it.

I wonder why the Vita shots appear so much darker? If the contrast was the same then those shots would look better.
Are they still available?
At $500+, I believe they are.
YOU ARE INSANE!
yeah, me jelly
It's throwing money away, but seeing as how I was going to get the first edition bundle with at least the same two games, the difference is under $300. That's a LOT, but I work an easy side job once a month for an hour or two and get $135, and I know I'll get the rest in presents/bonus cash. So I'm gonna splurge.
At that ridiculous mark-up price? Yeah, you better believe it, LOL.
NCSX actually sells the unit cheaper, but I had a P-A coupon so the price difference ended up being the same with the shipping factored in. Plus P-A will get it earlier and they don't charge a $35 cancellation fee if I decide to come to my senses.
By all means.
Be sure to post everything in the sure to be 'new Vita owner impressions thread'.
I splurged already and bought a nearly $500 music box set.
I gotta wait the 2 months!

Gotta wait on the console. That upcharge is...just a bit much.
I did preorder a game from Play-Asia though.
Will be odd to have software and no console to use it in yet.

I've got a question related to making vita games.
- Can i buy the SDK easily?
- For how much etc. ?
- How will the game distribution work, will it be as easy as making an iphone app?
- Where can i go for help regarding programming a game i'd like to be made. I can do lots of stuff except programming lol.. Can someone else program a game that i designed. Is there a community of that kind that could help me out. I've got cash..

Sorry for bothering you but, related to this
Do you know if NCSX is the cheapest solution also for european countries?
Let's see if I get a raise over Christmas. Otherwise, I don't give a damn. ~pets launch 60 gig~

If anybody is Interested I've got a bunch of Vita's on pre-order at my local stores, pm me and i'll see what I can do.
These questions will depend on if you're part of an established studio, or an indie outfit. If the later, may I suggest looking for PlayStation Suite?
