In that way, it might be the case indeed. I just ment that i dont think it is a necessarily a good indication that they are sitting on a lot of stock that isnt moving at all (or very slowly)
LOL@3DS bit poor thing.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Look at the 8gig card though. Has been 2200 for the last 2 weeks, now up to 4k. That's how they always get ya!
Yep
I just watched a bit of the Uncharted stream on Redsun. Looks pretty good (though I am burning myself out on Uncharted a bit atm, halfway or so through 3). Might get a Vita and Uncharted or Marvel.

Pretty impressed with Uncharted. It might become a launch purchase for me...
It does! But... but.... those jpeg's (lulz)
Remember to swap out the starting ja. for the country you normally get, so you get the local server.

Maybe Amazon are just discounting to try and get business from the stores, as it seems most people would rather get hold of it today, rather than wait until next week. it's not a huge discount after all.
I'm sure Vita will sell very well all over the World, but we'll see.

More Vita vs. PSP comparisons
I'm 90% sure that first pic is PS3 Miku add-on to PSP game, and someone is trolling big time.
care to elaborate?

This shot is literally impossible.More Vita vs. PSP comparisons
I can see the Go's aliasing from here, while the Vita's IQ is near perfect, not to mention the difference in lighting and models, among other things.
What sort of trickery is this?
Takao is takao.

IT's the same game, running on PS3 through remote play though. LOL

More than any graphical touches, the colors and clarity is what it's all about. PITAH WINS.

It has a watermark, I guess is a ss of the game rather than the game running on the console itself idk XD.
Edit: Did Sony say what was the Jump Festa surprise yet or is it happening tonight?.
Haha you're so right! But good news that Miku Dreamy Theater works on remote play.

I realize that, but the PSP Remote Play is rendered at 480p. Is it the same for Vita now that the connection is faster?

Maybe! Notice the watermark on the bottom. You get that when you take a screenshot from the XMB.
EDIT: Looks like you can.

It's a screenshot of Dreamy Theater via the XMB.
She is not even wearing the same dress lol.

Which would look worse due to compression, yes? Even still it's not an accurate comparison.

So how are those analogs?
My main concern was their placement IE: they're that far off from original PSP nub placement which was an ergonomic mess. I mean, how does the device feel to hold?
Impressions would be greatly appreciated.

That wouldn't really matter considering you can pick her outfit.
Dunno, the screens I've taken on mine look fine to me and yes it isn't an accurate comparison no matter what, but the one I posted is!
Here is a screen I made myself:
This is how far you'd go if you just wanted to replace the battery:
Looks like my old cellphone's battery.
Also reminds me of how people used to change games in the N-Gage...

Probably generated heat from larger battery would've caused more problems. On the subject - does Vita get hot when e.g. playing Uncharted?
They are saving that for PSVita 2000

Yeah, in the manual it says it will shut off 3G if it gets too hot.

I would sell my body to play Shinobido 2. Original is one of greatest games ever made, but you have to go deep to know it. The original really grows while you play.
Hope you have fun.

From RedSunGamer's stream, how restoring to factory settings works:
System settings that are going to be wiped (according the "restore settings" option) include:
- Network
- Sounds & Display
- Location Data
- Security
- Time and Date
- Languages
- System
- Power Saving Settings
- Start Screen
- Home Screen
This process only took a couple of seconds.
The Vita will restart upon completion, and you'll have to set it up as if it's brand new. The initial setup steps are:
- Language*
- Date and Time*
- Mobile Network
- Create new PSN account or use existing.
- Wifi network
- Credit Card confirmation (if attached to the selected PSN account)
- Sign in to PSN
- Privacy settings (who gets to see your friend list and activities)
This process takes roughly a minute or two, depending on how accustomed you are to it.
*Previous entries to these settings are saved on the battery, upon restoring it'll take you to directly to your last saved setting.
All that remains, is to ask whether the Vita will allow me to keep game content on the card when switching, even in their inaccessible state, or not. I just want to avoid having to connect to a PC/PS3 to transfer content every single time.

And failing that, how long it takes to restore content from a PS3 or PC (e.g. to transfer and install a game, let's say).
But, very useful post. This doesn't seem as bad as it could have been. I would tolerate that couple of minutes to go into Japan-land from time to time depending on what content is available where.
