Largest game has been 2.7 gig for Uncharted.

unfortunately there is no internal storage
pretty sure only three games have been over 2GB and off the top of my head I remember that two of them are Uncharted at 2.7GB and BlazBlue at 3.3GB

Alright, cool. Thanks again guys
The hilarious part I've found out today was that those games that require memory cards to save...only need 64mb. When you consider how flash memory for the games are either 2gb or 4gb cards, it's ridiculous that a game like Uncharted which is clearly under 4gb can't allocate 64mb for saves.
It might actually be a small courtesy to owners, given you apparently can't copy save files off of a physical cart. Unless that ended up being wrong, in which case there's still the angle of it possibly being MUCH cheaper/secure to make one read-only cart rather than a mixed read only/flash data cart.
If every game did that like the PSP, then I'd understand. But only certain games require a memory card so I really don't know what they were thinking.

some publishers probably see that as a form of protection in a way, wouldn't surprise me if Ninja Gaiden saves to the cart given the console versions utilize locked saves

it could also be DLC related design choice
Did the PS3 games do that too? Itagaki DID abhor the idea of modding his games and may well feel NOT locking saves would enable cheating, but I could see the rest of Team Ninja not caring with him gone. Then again, they might just have a dumb hang up there.

Can I just say...god DAMN the vita is a sexy gadget. I know that's basically a non sequitur at this point in the thread but man...the design is just sleek as all hell. I don't even know where they can go from there as far as a redesign in aesthetics, it's perfect as is. Though I guess Sony isn't known for changing the look of their handheld the way Nintendo is.
So awesome.
So awesome.
Or at least make it so every game that allows on card saves CAN support memory cards too, and you are able to set which is the default if available. Locking saves is the big reason it's a problem, otherwise it'd be a relatively minor nuisance.

I got my PDP Logitech type Case for the Vita today. IT IS HUGE. I was not expecting it to be that big. But I have not seen a Vita in person yet so I'm going to be surprised. It is a really great case I'm looking at what to put in for the picture. Probably Golden Abyss art

Here's the case next to a 3DS and Uncharted 3 case
Another opened.
I really like it I had the Logitech one so I'm pleased to see someone took that idea for Vita

Oh wow, surprised they shipped already. Hmm, how thick is it? Some of the pics made it look really thick when closed. Very tempting to order from them directly.

since i like to help my fellow gamer...
It is quite thick but the fact that you can put any picture in it and you can hold all the games/Memory cards ( You can tell they will fit perfectly underneath the Vita when in the case) and that if you drop this case with the vita inside it ill definitely protect it. Oh and I bought it I believe on sunday or monday and it came today. Fast shipping as well.

Cool, thanks for posting the pics and info. Something to think about over the weekend. The thickness of two 3DS systems though seems a bit thick.

Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I'd be surprised if the ROM used to store the game on the game cart is writable memory - I think the manufacturer would have to add flash RAM to the cart to support game cart saves, and that would increase the cost of manufacture.
Yes - nice, didnt knew it was already online.
My body (computer) is now ready for the Vita.

Do Lumines or Hot Shots require a memory card?
Both require a memory card.

As private companies, video game manufacturers cannot fine retailers. They can stop selling products through that retailer, though. That will rarely happen since it isn't worth losing all of those sales to preserve a street date.
Street dates are really about making it fair for the other retailers, who also want to sell a bunch of that product, so as long as it isn't widespread enough to make a noticeable difference then no one cares. If Amazon sold something a day or a week earlier though, that would be a problem. A ton of mom-and-pop game stores break street dates because it just really isn't that noticeable.
So do we still need media go or what?

Flip-flopped a lot on my day 1, but finally decided to go with Wifi + 16 gig + retail HSG, all from Amazon. PSN day 1 purchase of Lumines, plus all the demos they have to offer. I'll wait for retail outlets to have inevitable specials on the other games I'm interested in.
Nope, Media Go doesn't work with the Vita.
Which is a bit sad, since you can't download stuff from PSN using the Vita CM.
Yep. I'm thinking of getting Lumines and Rayman. Being able to play my PSP games on the Vita will also be nice.

Wow! Thanks, yes. I was completely wrong, and living with old information from say, the 90's when I used to sell computers with NiCad batteries. I forgot about The Lithium Ion thing. Again, thanks.
Question for those who have imported one.
Can you download Demos from the Japanese PS.Store and play them on your US account? Can you just transfer them over even though the region of your Vita is not the same as the Demo or do you have to be on your Japanese account to play them?

Well no, Dream Club Zero and Blaz Blue were both over the 3gb mark actually.
You need to have the Japanese account active for most of them.
Rayman preordered from Play-Asia, before Ubi announced the Jp. release date and crazy low price.

going back and forth on this a lot...
I keep thinking "Well, if I get bored of the games I'll just play Birth By Sle...damn!"
i will totally have money to drop on this thing, but I feel like I should wait.

Playstation Vita - WiFi
32GB Memory Card
PS Travel Pouch
wipEout 2048
Since I never owned a PSP i'll be picking up some older games day-1 as well. Still deciding on what, but Monster Hunter will be one of them. It's frequently cited, but I'm very disappointed in the selection of DD PSP games -- particularly in the RPG genre. This badly needs to change now that the Vita is being pushed to the fore, and it's shameful that most of these games aren't already DD since the PSPGo has been on the market for so long.
Seriously considering snatching Army Corps of Hell instead of wipEout... wipEout sure looks pretty but I'm not sure a racing game can hold my interest all that long, and the idea of a 'mature' Pikmin game is intriguing...

Not sure if this is the right thread to post it in but does anyone know what my trade in value would be for an:
XBOX 360 4g w/Kinect w/Kinect Adventures
Alan Wake
Gears of War Triple Pack
Mass Effect
Lost Odyssey
Civilization Revolution
Yoostar (unopened)
Was thinking since I don't use my 360 I might as well trade it in toward a vita but I've only seen psp trade in deals.
In NYC by the way.

Just off the top of my head i would guestimate 200ish. Most of those games won't fetch more than $5/$7 anymore :/
But if you went the craigslist route you could pull more.
Ok I have a few questions that im confused with and im sure they have been asked a bunch of times.
1.at launch sony said with ps3 4.0 you can
play ps3 games,and if that is even true can you play all ps3 games? I thought that was the big thing that I can play like skyrim call of duty ect ect...
2.when transfering files with content manager to pc can I take the whole game and remove it from the memory card leaving me more space for more games and put the game on the PC?

My order is a 3G launch bundle, the PDP case and UMvC3. But due to my promotion yesterday I've got some extra cash coming and to celebrate I'm going to add another game or two. I'm thinking Hot Shots and maybe Lumines or Dynasty Warriors.
Gamefly 4 game plan is ready as well. So good.

Also, you could see if they do a promotion for bonus trade credit. That's how I go about trading things in - bonus 40-50% or whatever. CL is the other route, yes. In fact, you're better off posting there for now and seeing where that goes in about a week first.
Also, is there going to be a release for the new Media Go like software anytime soon? Oh, and did someone say that you can't transfer your games via your PC through the new software?

1. They've been mum on remote play. People have it up and running with custom firmware on the ps3 so *we think* it should be close for normal firmware. But as of now with a japanese Vita the remote play is as limited as it was on the PSP and sony has been pretty mum about the whole thing.
2. Not really sure about transferring the whole game. You can, of course, just delete the game and then download it again when you want to play it again. But that's easier for some (with high speeds and no download caps) than others...

I know a lot of people are going to download some PSP titles from the store. Make sure you check out the 2 packs. Sometimes they are cheaper than buying a single game... for example: LocoRoco/Patapon- $14.99. Patapon by itself is $15.99. If you were looking for Patapon on the PSN, it wouldn''t show you that it is part of a 2 pack for less money.
2 packs are $14.99
LocoRoco / Patapon
Motorstorm: Arctic Edge / Twisted Metal: Head On
Secret Agent Clank / Daxter
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow / Killzone: Liberation
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror / SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo (1st one)

Aside from all the Vita stuff I'm picking up at launch, I also want to grab a couple psp games that I missed out on. I had a psp but I know I missed out on a ton of games. Any JRPGs you guys would recommend? I was also considering monster hunter but I don't really wanna play the game alone. Would it be worth the purchase?
