All other Wipeouts (outside of HD) ran on 30fps too, what's weird about this one?

Really need some quick help.
Just got my VITA and am setting it up
It says:
"Do you want to use your account on your Playstation Vita System?"
i click Use
it then says:
"A system software update is required. Update the system software and then link your account with the Playstation Vita system"
like wtf - it keeps taking me back to the same screen?
am i suppose to click "Do not use" and then go through the long way, update and link my account after? this is stupid...

When you select "Do not use" you'll just set up 2 or 3 options and will be able to update the firmware and change to your normal user. It's totally unintuitive and lots of people had problem with this (including me).

can't wait for when it arrives here if there's a fW waiting for us. unaware consumers will be go crazy lol.
People totally new to Sony's consoles won't have an account, so that's one problem less.

OK yeah man i thought so. im not THAT stupid and i agree, its totally unintuitive. the one i got came with a screen protector and everything so its not a bad package all up.
Just updating the firmware now and then will hopefully link my UAE PSN account and play uncharted.
Just one thing - when the system goes to sleep (During downloading firmware) it still is downloading right>

that's one case yes. ;P
If it goes to sleep by itself - yes. If you push the power button - no.

Every time I hear this I shake my head. I don't know why Sony thought this was a good idea. I really hope they fix this in the near future.

I'm hoping that the Vitas that make it to the West for launch come with the new firmware pre-installed.
SCEJ's Gravity Daze website update to include a whole bunch of stuff I don't understand (there's an interview with the composer that features a tonne of samples).
Also, Friend Network has surpassed 1 million somethings.

GO FOR IT
Have to say my prime ps3 is jpn import and prefer using O for all positive actions. Find it odd when going back to the UK one.
Problem is that a) I use my Ps3 regularly and thus am used to have it the other way around and b) according to IGN non-JP games switch the buttons on software level, making the whole experience inconsistent.
I don't think there's a single need to use face buttons (not counting the PS button) in the menu. It's like iOS but with more flicking to close apps.
If only true for PSP emulation then I could deal with it.
As long as nobody can confirm how EU/US Vita games will handle this I'm still a little wary.

Wipeout looks amazing. Never played the series before, so does it have a lot of single player content?
Can't check that until we get the US/EU PS Stores running, sorry. There's no way to play English versions of PSP games yet.

just got it all set up.
Played uncharted. looks good, the screen is nice and it sounds nice. The only thing is the grip for the vita is WIDE - and the buttons are quite small.
One thing, in Uncharted, does it save automatically? i played for about 5 mins, quit, and it took me back to the start of the chapter.
Also - can you only reload by tapping the top left of the screen? cos that sucks....

One of the SEGA Vita games (late 2012) is being made at a brand new SEGA UK studio called 'Hardlight studios'. The name has been trademarked in Germany too, so it might be the name of the first game.
Must be because I've only played HD, and i played it a lot. Maybe you get used to it, but it's a huge bummer as I thought 60 fps was the best feature of HD.

Just ordered blazblue and UMVC3 from play asia....
i really gotta stop buying things :/

Good times... we didn't use to count fps and joysticks had only one button.
Good old days.
I know the feeling. February is going to demolish my wallet and March won't be much better. I want too many darn games to go with that First Edition Vita that I've already paid off. Restraint is going to be necessary and I'm not that great at restraint.
It was a damn good button though! Satisfying and solid. Same for my stick.
(I used joysticks called 'The Arcade', I've been meaning to convert them to USB so I can use them for emulation)
Not to mention the disk swapping! Often times you had to swap disks to even load the title screen, and then swap disks again to start the first level.
With fighting games (I think Street Fighter 2 did this) you'd had to swap disks between each fight.
We are so spoiled.
We are trained to wait long loading times without say something

OK i just set up remote play on my Vita. THis is without a doubt the best thing ever.
I can stream videos (porn) from my PC, to my PS3 via PS3 media server, then watch so called videos (porn) on my vita screen on the other side of the house. fan fucking tastic.

What kind of videos?
Haha, number 2 is priceless. Hilarious stuff.

Got an email with a PSVITA survey; do it and you get a chance to get a $50 Visa gift card. Apparantely it only goes out to people who went to those event thingies (I went to the one in Dallas, TX; they gave me a slip off paper with a code on it for a chance to win a VITA. Didn't win.)

New Reality Fighters Trailer
It actually looks like a tonne of tongue in check fun. I hope there's a demo to check out because I might buy it

during a sale.
This reminds me of those old Fighter Maker games, only without needing to do any work yourself and 100% more support for half-naked Japanese girls
recreating that one scene in Dark Souls
Nothing seems very new but few new screens tho
Edit: Never mind also music change when click each different section

For JGaf... what are your Near experience overall?
We saw a lot of demos and explanations, but how is the experience for the users? They add new gameplay? For example, I saw something about treasures in Uncharted, related with Vita.

Slightly Extended Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz Trailer - unlike the 3DS game, this one seems to be in the oven a bit longer and is set for release in the summer.
If you go to the "SPECIAL" tab and click on the non-Toyama interview there's music clips you can click on and listen to. The soundtrack sounds really nice.

Shenmue III.
Is there any danger it'll be as amazing as the GC original? Haven't touch a SMB game since the second.
I got really claustrophobic at the end! I think I have too much empathy to play Monkeyball. <breathes>
The real-time clock feature is neat, did any previous versions have that? Mostly I just want it to be native resolution and 60fps. It should be gorgeous on that display.
I've got a few random song unlocks for Star Strike. Aside from this, thanks to near I know the theoretical number of people with Vitas in my vicinity (30-40) and what are the most popular games around here.
Pretty useless so far.
One more month to go!
I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas day to come already. I'm just really impressed at the lineup of software hitting the system in it's first month. Very few gaming platforms can boast a lineup where most of the games are looking to be true gems.
My list is already 10 games deep, and I'll be getting all 10 within that first month. It's crazy.

I have literally never gotten it to work, even once.
I have a wifi model and I leave in Nagasaki. It's never been able to figure out where I am, regardless of what connection I use.
