The PlayStation Vita In 2011-2012

Can someone who played the Wipeout demo tell me if the controls are fully configurable?

They aren't -- there are three sets of controls, and then pilot assist settings.

So has the "shiny new toy" feel worn off yet with the Vita?

Still playing the hell out of it -- it is an impressive piece of hardware. But, sure, a lot of that initial discovery/etc has worn off, and now it will become more about the games.
 
I recgnize that I'm asking this of the guy who inexplicably bought every launch game, but why would you do that?

there's a couple of series i "collect" so i have quite a few of the games boxed.

Wipeout just happens to be one of those game series.
 
After looking up some WipEout history, I'm distraught.

1) Piranha is SPELT WRONG in WipEout 2048. It's Piranha, not Pirhana.
2) The Piranha team was founded in 2097 so shouldn't even be in the game. WHAT THE FUCK, SONY!?

lol. You are obsessive compulsive.

Just treat it as a different team. It is spelled differently after all.
 
Good (but bad) to get confirmation. Not sure why the article says that the UK store isn't open - surely a Japanese game online pass isn't going to redeem on the UK store? If it does then I'll happily import and wait until Feb for online..

I have the UK version of the game, not the Japanese one.

Which of the Japanese games have AR stuff in? I know golf does, and that AR combat game, but any others?

VT4.
 
The amount of money I'm throwing down for the launch of this thing is...sick. =/ =( =)

Speaking of which...has anyone who ordered those Amazon.co.uk Ubisoft games for a fiver had their orders cancelled? Mine hasn't been (yet), but wondering if I'm out of the woods yet.
 
Yay, Yodobashi just shipped my Wipeout 2048, I hope I comes tomorrow like they've said it would (and that it won't be 9 PM like with all the Amazon orders I made).
 
It would be so epic if the PSN store updated at midnight, but that's not gonna happen is it?
When are we gonna be able to DL WipEout and SSDD?

Sadly I bailed for this reason, and my best friend did too. =(

I think I'm going to wait it out and see what happens throughout this year. I really still want a system, but I was looking at spending $350 + depending upon how many games I was going to buy. Ended up just picking up a Zelda 3ds bundle while I could still find one a few weeks ago.

I think the big block for me is I refuse to get a small memory card that I'm just going to fill up super fast even though it would have been the cheaper route. Think I'll wait and see if we ever get a memory card adapter or anything say 6 months down the road, and maybe grab the system.

I hope the system can do well up until that point though!
 
Are you guys in Japan playing a lot of PSP games on your vitas? It's all I really plan to do for a while, was hoping they all upscale very well or if there were problems...

If game has "problems", it's pulled down from the Vita-PSP store, and returns when the problem is fixed, like it was with Criminal Girls.

And that's why there's still now PSP1/2/2i for download.

Graphically the PSP games are said to look better on Vita, although pixels are 4 times bigger.
 
Planning on picking one of these up tomorrow (gonna be around Shinjuku). Any specfic stores having any good deals for the vita? And is there anything I should be weary about before purchasing one?

Remember to pick up a memory card. :P

Cards are physically shorter then SD Micros (slightly thicker though). If they ever happen - expect adapters to be the kind that sticks out of your card-slot.
 
Has anyone with tried wifi tethering between a jailbroken iphone (3GS) and a wifi vita yet? I jailbroke my 3GS in preparation for my wifi vita in February.

I tried a few tests between the PSP and iphone and I couldn't get the PSP to see the wireless hotspot. Does the vita see wifi hotspots that the PSP doesn't?

Preorder cancelled.

Maybe it's a different umm team?

As others have noted, I'd say 2 directly answers 1. :)

The vita is very picky when it comes to wifi.

It happened to me when i was using my laptop as a hotstop. When i tried to do it with the Win7 Tool to share internet, it didn't work. When i did it with another piece of software (recommended here) it worked.

There must be something about Myfi that the vita doesn't like.
 
Just paid off my preorder for a Vita 3G and a $100 for a 32GB stick. I'm going all digital, except when I can get a game on sale.

However, I can get a 10% discount if I bought the Vita through a friend on the WalMart Associate Discount. I'm tempted to cancel and try again there.
 
Disgaea 3 is coming in march, I think?

Too bad they didn't port Disgaea 4 instead, assuming the Vita can handle the sprites (I'm sure it can)

I wonder if they plan to bring it later down the road.

Really looking forward to vita games at E3, some of these first gen games look pretty lacking in the graphics department.
 
Wipeout has 40-50 sec load tines? How is such a thing even possible? Egregiously bad.

On a device that would retain power for 4 hours, sitting in load screens for a minute (plus change) every 5 minutes a race lasts is pretty sad.

Would that be Connectify?
