I'd be up for that - I'm having to start using a local UK account for the first time, just so I can play games properly (stupid sony). Usual PSN account is mrklaw, Vita one is KlawUK


someone asked for impressions on loading times for HSG. Not sure of exact timings, but it was never a chore to wait. A short delay when starting a game, but between holes there is no delay at all

Can you describe the various multiplayer modes and how they work? I'm having trouble finding information online
 
Regarding USB charger, i read that it is possible to plug inn the cable the wrong way, and then it doesnt charge. The PS Logo on the cable has to face up for it to charge.
 
Ordered the Pull N Go Folio directly from PDP's website last Saturday and got it in the mail today. I know a few others were interested in this case and it currently has a 3-5 week wait on Amazon. Nice Case and pretty much exactly the same as the 3ds version. Only difference is that the part of the pull out case that holds the games is plastic vs the fabric material of the 3ds model.

It can. There's video evidence of it (I'll see if I can find it)

Wow, sounds like a bad design flaw. Good to know ahead of time.

I graduated High School in 1985. Guess I was as out of touch w/ pop culture then as I am now.

I would have thought someone of your age would be familiar with it. Can't expect everyone to know about it though. I was wrong about mid-80s, it's early 80s. Toys came out in 81, and cartoon started in 83. So assuming you were 18 at the time of graduation, the toys were out when you were 14 and cartoon at 16. I guess not totally unreasonable that you weren't playing with them then. It was just such a big thing back then that I would have thought most people would have at least heard of He-Man. Surprised, but heh don't think anything of it, you were old enough to not care. =)

Sounds like the iPad. I dont think that charges through USB device either

That's because the Ipad needs 10watts of power for charging and some USB devices do not sustain that. Newer motherboards are up to the task though or you need to download a driver. I have a Gigabyte that uses on/off charging.

I'll run my own experiment. My MacBook Pro USB port can charge an iPad. Let's see if it can charge a Vita.

Recent Mac Book Pros have high powered USB ports, so assuming it's not years old, it'll be a good way to test. Also be aware that on some computers, not sure if this applies to Macs, not all the USB ports are high powered; some only have one high powered port. So try them all.
 
Went after work.. I was in there playing Fifa for like 15 minutes! The guy was chatting me up.. so I spent about <5 mins on most of the demo that weren't FIFA but they all were fun. All in all I'm happy about my day one picks..! I just wish I could rip it off the stands and take it with me LOL. And to those saying it doesn't WOW.. I say BULLSHIT! Me and my friend both said wow at the HD screen, it looks like a TV screen. When I hit the PS button I also said WOW when it took me out immediately..

Well played Sony sama. Well played.

Cancelled my Hot Shots Golf + Wipeout pre-order.
HSG's graphics look dissapointing and Wipeout's loading times scare me.

I went with Lumines and Virtua Tennis instead. Also be picking up MLB 12 day 1 obviously.(already getting Uncharted with system).

Can't resist on HSG or Wipeout. I fell in love with HSG this past Christmas. Played it for hours on my PSP Go. The word is that the graphics are a little muddy but judging by the pics and vids they look leagues better than HSG Open Tee 2.

As for Wipeout, I'm already in love with the level design of the maps I've seen. The New York architecture mixed with futuristic racing might make this my favourite Wipeout. I am worried about this loading times though.

I want Lumines a lot but I'm hoping for Ubi Sale soon after release.

No. You don't get pre-order box, and no discount on PSVita game. Plus, where I live (Deutschland obviously) it comes to 244EUR with delivery, still better to hop on Amazon DE offer.

it does come with the discount on ps vita game and pre-order box if u order before 12th but the reduction is only - 5 euro. But it probably cheaper for you cause u get free shipping from amazon Deutschland

I discovered marijuana @14 so, yeah. I have heard of He-Man I suspected that was his ride when I saw the pic. My older brothers used to watch the Thundercats, so snarf to you.
Edit:
On topic: Might as well post my launch goodies
FEB
Uncharted
Hot Shots
32GB Memory Card
Sony screen protectors

Planning on:
Gravity Rush(definitely day 1)
Unit 13(The more I see the more I like)
MLB12 The Show(releases the same day as Unit 13... have to see which one wins out)
 
Well my Gamestop finally got some larger cards besides 4GB. Still no 32, but they had gotten quite a few 16's. I was originally going to get a 32, but ended up just getting a 16GB. For the most part, I'll be getting retail copies of games, and it should store plenty of smaller PSN games. I think I'll use the extra money to pick up Rayman.

Why isn't America getting any deals? Damn, Euro-GAF gets all the good discounts.

Maybe SCEA are content with people spending their money on Steam/ios instead?

I don't know how much experience Grace Chen has, but her and her team should really try to step it up a notch.
 
Has anyone figured out how to transfer a PSP game save across to PS Vita memory card? I'm pretty far into Hot Shots Tennis and I'd hate to have start over on my Vita.

Pretty sure we're going to be having a Hot Shots thread and little mini-tournaments like we used to back in the day for HSG on the PS3 in case that helps sway anyone. :p
Click to expand...

Which is one of the reasons I HAD to have the FEB bundle. I need to hone my 3 click skills as quickly as possible. :) The party chat will make the tournaments run a lot smoother as well. Hopefully we'll have a large Hot Shots community again.

Cool. I might want to get in on some of this action.
 
How come I never heard of Gravity Rush till I got to the Gamestop Demo? Besides Uncharted, it's the only thing that looks good to me from all the demo games..
