Has any picked up the cradle? If so, how is it? Does it come with the power cable it needs (is it the same cable that comes with the Vita), or is it some weird bullshit like the PSPgo cradle?

Thanks.
I ordered 7:30est last night and the charge is already pending on my credit card. Im assuming they charge when they ship so thats a good sign. In any case, I should have it by the 22nd which is all I wanted.
Nice. Might have to get one if they work ok. I've got a Giff Gaff one to try out as well.
I've just finished my Official Thread on the OCUK forums. 4000 words. My arms ache lol.
You make me sad.
Elder scrolls would be too ambitious, maybe they can port Morrowind though. The Souls game is more likely. I would actually like both tbh.
Demon Souls is Sony's right? I think it would be pretty stupid of Sony not to have it on Vita (its own installment).

Can I buy an extra charging cable? Don't want to buy a whole pack of accessories. Just a charging cable.
I actually do think the Vita could handle a full blown Elder Scrolls game.
With more memory than the PS3 or 360 it's actually well suited to the task.
I'd prefer something like Dark Souls, though, which is very well suited to portable play (and sleep mode).

I think they are $14.99 standalone.
Want? Sure!
But it has to be a great success to get big Bethesda-Games. Also i think it would be quite a big downgrade graphics-wise.
But I think Demon/Dark Souls would be great on the Vita and the chance is much bigger to get games like this.
The apparent lag in that Fifa video with the person with purple finger nails is on the VIDEO not on the Vita. If you watch her thumb closely every time the game appears to lag so does her thumb. Vita is powerful, but it can't slow down people
We also don't pay for people to send us text messages. I have no idea if it's still like that in the US.
Seeing as I never had a PSP, I can't wait to work through It's library while I wait for the Vita library to grow.
What's the going price for most Digital PSP games?

Wait, the usb cable and the ac adaptor cable are different products?
Sounds like slooow to fill RAM. Still a lot better than this one Wrastle game on PSP, at least
I rarely switch games on PSP until I'm done with them and keep it in sleep mode for days with the game loaded, so my habits protect me from suffering through the to menu load times regularily. Sucks for changing games on a whim.
GiffGaff is my current plan after getting free wipeout. I have no use for free texts though (and those SIMs aren't for use in anything except phones) so the ebay link is better value
The Vita isn't the problem, it's Bethesda. Even if they make a console with 8gb of RAM, they'll try to max the console up and ignoring many bugs. They're a very ambitious developer and basically want to use the console's full power. If they would take the time to make a decent ES with almost no bugs, then yeah, it could work.
Pretty expensive to be honest, at least compared to retail games. I want to buy the DJ Max Portable games but they're crazy expensive.
They are, but I think you can charge it with either.
if you want some nice wallpapers for your vita: http://mantia.me/wallpaper/
they're at iphone aspect ratio, but you can easily adapt them to vita 16:9
EDIT: actually, use the ipad or pc version as the iphone ones are vertical, while you can adjust the other ones.

this one is pretty cool: http://mantia.me/wallpaper/lego/

I'm with you. Would love to have an an expansive, open world RPG like Elder Scrolls or Demon Souls on the Vita. That would be a huge draw. Considering there are several out for the iOS devices, it is obviously possible. I'd buy in on day one.

Doesn't the home button pause all games on Vita? I'd take issue with that in a Souls game.

They're all over the place. The Grand Theft Auto games are currently on sale for 7.99 each, other games are ridiculously expensive.
Looking on the PSN store now I'm seeing that most of my favorite PSP games are not even available for purchase. Disappointing.
Why would you take issue with that? For a portable game a pause feature is absolutely necessary regardless of the type of game.
I thought I read that the Vita memory sticks were as fast as PSP one? could be false though.
It'll be fine...for now. PSP games can go up to 1.7gb I believe, but a lot of them don't reach that size. I would keep the 8gb card and wait for a price drop on the other cards, it's not like you lose the content you bought since it'll be on your playstation store.
PSP games are faster on the memory stick than on the UMD's, Vita games are faster on the game card than the memory stick

Sounds good. Didn't know if there would be any improvements.
Open world or MMOs on the Vita would be amazing. Seeing how Blizzard is considering a console release of D3, perhaps it will end up on the Vita as well. Sony already showed how easy it was to port MGS4.
I just can't wait to see all the functionality that the community will squeeze into.
Loading times from the actual game card are faster than from the memory stick. The difference in minor but it definitely favors the physical copy of the game.
That I have no idea about.
You do. The USB cable can also be plugged into the Vita and into your PC or Mac or others things.
The AC adapter is just a black box with a USB port on one end and mains juice in the other.

When you see the prices you'll probably change your mind. $30-$40 for a lot of games still, even when you can find UMD copies in bargain bins for $10-$15.
Some games are reasonably priced though, but they seem to be the minority on the service.

So that means the AC adaptor is useless without the USB cable. =(

Is it the same adapter/plugs that the PSP Go uses?
They could just disable home access during PVP. Not a problem.
The AC adapter is the same, but the USB cable is not.
Well yeah, what did you want exactly? Not sure I follow.
So back to the 1st question...no psp games and if I buy the retail copy 8gb should be plenty?
Guess I'll start picking some of the older games.
It still greatly increases the potential library of games. Lame that they are jacking up the prices though.

Does the charging cradle sold from the usb cable separately?
I want something that's one package. It means if I need another charger, it costs me $30.

I'm buying retail and DD and Have about 6 PSP games. I'm going with a 8gb card + the 4gb card that I will get for free.
hey Kyoufu, if you're still here, can we switch memory cards on the fly or does the Vita restarts if you take the card out?

this is literally what I was about to ask
I'm seriously thinking about just going 3G but the 8 gig might be smaller than expected if things pan out.

Did you notice any microstutters with the game? I recall hearing about complaints regarding stuttering when driving/moving at high speeds with the digital version.
I've never taken my memory card out so I have no idea.
The thing is so tiny that I'm afraid I'll lose it to a stray wind passing by.

Haha lol, I was going to just use the 4gb card as a PSP storage but you might have a point there, don't want to lose it. What size is yours at ?

You can't hot-swap memory cards.

just to confirm, the only difference in the 3G hardware is the 3G support (and sim slot), right?
traditionally I always bought the premium sku because of extras, but I really have no use for the 3G. still it's only $20 more than the wi-fi + an 8 gig.
