Yup, Vita fits just fine inside it.
That's too slow.
Check your USB cable. Don't use extension. It will slow down transfer like crazy. If possible use mainboard USB not front-USB.
So i guess everyone noticed that wipEout 2048 is now officially $39.99 on amazon now? They are no longer selling it at the $10 discounted price like they are for Hot Shots.
If you are on the fence about Hot Shots, better get it now if you want $10 off... no telling what it will be priced like tomorrow.

I keep asking this but I'm still unsure.
Is 3G really worth it? If I got the WiFi only version, I don't want to miss out on anything. But I also don't want to pay an extra $15-25 to use the 3G service.
Would I miss out on anything if I just got the WiFi only system? That's what I'm worried about.

If anyone wants to sell their FEB case, I'll buy the shit out of it.

Watch it if you haven't. And twenty-two posted two good videos and review on it (gave it a ten and called it a god game).

Even if it smells like shit?

He doesn't want the case; just the shit inside it that made it smell.
Thanks!

I'd love to know what caused it. It really smells like it had cigarette smoke blown into it over and over.

Loser slave of the system :(
Never tried this but what happens when you log into PSN from PS3 and Vita at the same time?

What version is better the 3G or the wifi or does it even matter?
I'm pretty sure nothing. It'll let you do it.
The 3G offers wireless internet at an insultingly low mb cap per month. I don't see games playing online over 3G as a viable option. I'm sure most games will require wifi to play any sort of online aside from leaderboard postings, etc.
I really don't see the perk of the 3G - like at all. most of us have smartphones, so slow 3g web browsing is already covered. Shrug

3G seems pointless unless you want to do web browsing on the go at places without wifi. You certainly won't be downloading much with a 250mb limit. It's a ripoff for the monthly price too.

Alright thanks. Chances are I would just tether from my phone anyway.

3G since it has a GPS that doesn't need 3G service. Also some things like Near which is built in can use the GPS. Don't forget the 8gb card you get with it for free. IMO, best to futureproof yourself.

Apart from the other answers, I wonder which game shows up for you friends. The one you're playing on PS3? Or the one you're playing on Vita?

That's a great ad.
And for those of us WITHOUT 3G phones... well, I think I'd rather just get one of those for 3G rather than use the Vita. If I could make the Vita share a plan it'd be nice, but even if that can be done I'd have to be tied with AT&T right now, and screw that.
Still, by definition it IS the better version, the real question is whether it's in a way that even matters, and I'm inclined to think "no".

Near doesn't work like Streetpass, those people don't have to be in the same place at the same time.

On Sony's PlayStation Blogcast today they said the Netflix, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr apps would all go up on the PlayStation Store on the 21st.

I read that too.
Hoping they include digital sales.
By the way, I read it was for first-party titles only, but that could be wrong because it's supposed to match Target's deal.
Go on...
And...?!
The guy who bought the games didn't buy a single first party title though so it's all up in the air at this point.

Its a system seller because its the best selling game franchise and its never been done well on a portable.
Its a game that will work well on the Vita, IMO.

That is very very unlike them.

if it includes digital games I will be thrilled
That's why I say unconfirmed. Though I feel like it could be quite a clever strategy if Sony approached them to do a sale like that to increase early adoption and attach rate for the system.
That'd be good because generally Gamestop's game selection trumps department stores, but they usually don't do sales like this for new games, and there ain't any used Vita games yet.
3G version has more accurate geolocation capability. I bought it because I like to keep my options open. I also travel often and prefer a Vita with built-in 3G to back up my cellphone when overseas. There are 3G aware games/apps/mini-games like Google Maps, Ridge Racer, t@g, etc. but you may or may not appreciate/like them.
So you'll have to see if it's worthwhile for yourself. Don't bang on cheap dataplan just yet. US operators are planning to roll out shared dataplans. No one knows the pricing yet.
Sony has a launch day 3G bundle now. You might want to take a look.
Well the thread is up on CAG. The guy said there was an internal memo about it and the worker there did give him a free game as he scanned his receipt.

*waiting for someone to argue the point by posting DS and PSP covers
Yeah, there's no guarantee I can find everything I could want at Target, but GameStop? More likely!
And Ninja Gaiden IS at 30 FPS? That's disappointing, wasn't the Xbox original at 60?
Yeah it really looks like TN is dropping the ball on Ninja Gaiden. It's super disappointing.
Nice. I'd ask my local GS about it, but they don't even have a vita kiosk yet, so I doubt they'd know anything.
Has anyone here tried ordering from PlanetAxel.com?
They are the ones with the cheap 32GB.
I just ordered and got a confirmation mail but it only says I have ordered and payed for "Handling, routing (and customs*)" and then it goes on to say Order Total: $0.00.
Why is that?
Now I'm worried.

It's something I've been suspecting, a lot of these ports that LOOK like a good idea to me tend to not come out as well as I'd like, especially when they're at launch. To be honest, we're probably lucky that 30 FPS sounds like the only issue this has, while games like Rayman Origins turned out well enough to be given 9s despite lacking a key feature (multiplayer).
So you played them or you going by review scores?
