If you skip the initial-login, system complains about the card (it's clearly a UI flow-bug, question is how they'll eventually fix it).
What is the use of having US account at the moment though? Store is not online, and Vita refuses to see any PSP content that I download to PS3 on US account either. :/

Didn't want to skip log-in, I foolishly chose a WiFi hotspot that needed credentials (paid hotspot), so it got stuck in that stupid loop :/
Just using US account as its my main account and i have a couple of friends with vitas showing up, so i like the activity
Connect the AC adapter, wait until the PS button stops flashing orange and hold the power button for 20+ seconds. I think that's the correct order of handling this.
Any euro prices announced yet? US got ok pricing on 32GB, wondering if we'll be 99 or worse..
Glad I preordered one of those for launch, Amazon ended up charging me 7700 yen...

Thanks, looks and sounds good so far (though the demo is criminally short!)
Heavenly!
Too bad the prices are more or less what you have to pay at the bigger retail stores.
To be fair, I think that MH acutally looks worse on the Vita than it does in that video - the jaggies are a lot more visible. Still, <3 the second stick camera.

The Claw - and the mastery of it - and the options it gives you are ALL PART of Monster Hunter and it's awesomeness.
Second stick is okay in the "throwback to MH1 for swinging" way - but for camera control it is NOT UPTO SCRATCH for close range weapon users and ANYONE into MH will not give a flying fucking toss about this OR the 3DS alt control method. FACT.
P.S. ABSOLUTELY FUCK OFF to TARGET MONSTER in 3DS MH. What the fuck is that shit?! FUCK OFF. If you want to play an easy game, there's any number of them. Go play those. Jeezus.
After all this shit about MH3G being hard - it's PISS easy. WTF. :/

Lol. The Claw can go fuck itself. I'm not deforming my hand because the camera controls are not up to scratch. MH Tri's controls are heavenly and I refuse to go back to the Claw!
Also, I don't see what the problem is with Target Monster in MH3G. It's nothing like a lockon system at all and best of all you can turn it off if you don't like it!.
BTW, it's MHP3 that's the one with nerfed difficulty not Tri G...
Thanks! Mine didn't flash orange when I plugged it in but holding the power button worked all the same!
But I don't want to spend half of my life just to master the claw, I like the second sticki'm just going to come out and say it

Not denying that - but in the grand MH scheme - 3rd is easiest , and Tri/TriG are right behind it.
Later Tri gets harder but then again so does 3rd. Just surprised at dome people saying 3G hard from start - just not seeing it
Anyways, sorry for the MH derail - back to the doom and VIVA the claw and fxxk the dual stick

It's not hard from the start at all, half the point of Tri was that it was designed with a slow difficulty curve to make it easy for players new to the series to get into. The hard part is later on when Deviljo rapes your face!
Awesome. I can't wait to use the right stick on MHF: U since Capcom didn't deem the US worthy of MHP3.
Still pretty difficult to play in sunlight. On the train I usually try to pick a spot not on the sunny side. Can't compare to anything else as I have no PSP, DS or 3DS.
I'd say it's better than DS, iPhone and PSP. Don't know about the rest of the new portable devices.

Any chance of WipEout being bilingual for the Japanese version? Doesn't matter much, but it'd be nice.
There's a chance we'll now that when the demo is released on the 17th.

Sony Gives No Comment on PlayStation Vita Sales
Following a debut of 325,000 units, PlayStation Vita sales dropped 78% in the system's second week. With 72,000 units sold, the system placed below all other active systems, including the system it's supposed to replace, the PlayStation Portable.
Meanwhile, the 3DS saw its best week ever, selling 482,200 units, taking it above the four million mark in domestic sales. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata had previously forecast that the system would reach four million by its first anniversary. It managed the feat two months in advance of that.
So what does Sony Computer Entertainment have to say about what appears to be a slow start for the Vita? Nothing at present, it seems. Bloomberg Japan asked for comment on the Vita's second week performance and was given the old "no comment" from SCE PR head Satoshi Fukuoka.
Perhaps we'll hear something once business returns to normal following the New Years break.

Just got my Vita this morning. I'm still in a hype/excitement bubble so apologies if these questions have been answered on recent pages but if anyone could clarify I'd really appreciate it:
I've set up my wifi etc and am logged into my (US) PSN account. Does the Vita connect me automatically to the net/PSN when I turn it on? Not seeing the option to log in or out.
Tinkered with the settings a little but haven't seen an option to extend the time it takes when sitting idle before it goes into power save mode. Where is this option?
Need to log in with my Japanese account too for demos but that'll come later. Is there a quick and easy way to switch accounts? Been following news on this issue since they came up but haven't read up on it these past few days.
Thanks for any help guys

Hysterical. Re-reading the article, they never even bought the digital version, and were therefore never qualified to write the story in the first place.

I haven't played a claw-less MH but I have to agree from my experience with Portable Ops. Clawing keeps your right thumb free to, you know, actually fight.

Thanks guys, much appreciated
Fafalada, thanks for linking to that post. I won't lose anything like saves etc when switching to and from accounts that way, right?

You're a life saver. I knew everyone's problem so far was agreeing to the deactivation. A few thought that they'll lose that activation if they decline. So basically account switching is now possible on a single memory stick, with the requirements being an internet connection and 3 minutes of free time, correct?

Ah.. didn't think it needed a separate thread, but thank for the lttp confirmation
edit: Oh that thread, lol.. wow..
edit: Oh that thread, lol.. wow..
Just put an hour into Uncharted and am really impressed considering the impressions from a few others in this thread. The game controls beautifully. The first fire fight had me a bit off guard but once I adjusted the sensitivity of both the aiming and the motion aiming then it felt just as good as ever. The only thing control wise that feels really weird to me is the fact that you have to press select to get the onscreen buttons up(Journal, Camera etc). The Select/Start button feel really sticky and awkward to press for me(Am I the only one?) so the fact that I have to get out of my comfortable position and press select seems weird to me. Not sure why they wouldn't just make it so you click on the corner to get them up or something.
I'm really surprised with the great presentation and depth of this game. I was expecting a dumbed down experience for the Vita but the fact that they've added all these mysteries with stories attached to each treasure is great! Makes me wonder why UC3 didn't have this? Another small gripe I have is the fact that the text is so god damn pixely and ugly. Is this due to the fact that the game runs in Sub HQ?
I'm in Australia and its working fine for me. It doesn't find location occasionally but it usually does on the second attempt. Surprised to see 10 people playing near me.

I still would've preferred support for multi accounts obviously, but this is much, much, better the what we initially thought, thanks to Sony's confusing reports.
Nice avy~

Sorry, Yep! I originally had my Japanese account and it worked fine. Reformatted this morning and its working exactly the same. It even found my Japanese account from yesterday!
