I really don't like the new functionality of the PS button from the newest update, where it's always lit up when it's not on standby.
I often see it lit up while on standby (I guess to fetch data or something?), thinking I have a notification waiting but no.. it's just lit up because it turned standby off for a few seconds. I'm not even sure what it's checking, since I have Messages on Manual fetch, and Near does its autoupdate for me sometime in the AM.
 
Are people ordering from Amazon UK getting their orders sent in different packages? I have it to be sent as one because I've paid for first class delivery. Wouldn't want to miss out because of that.

My order has an estimated dispatch of 21st Feb but my Bakuman volume also had that same dispatch date and it dispatched this morning.

I had a free trial of Prime over Christmas. I used it a lot but kind of regret using it then. If it wasn't £50 a year I'd have bought a year for the Vita launch but I don't want to spend that on top of the £400 ish I'm spending on Vita :/
 
Just a question.

If I get PSP from Shop A tomorrow and memory card from Shop B the day after tomorrow, will I be able to (at least) play games such as Fifa and Everybody's Golf without memory card?

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Assuming you mean a Vita then most likely not. It is different for every game and should say on the box whether it requires a memory card.
 
This dude is definitely impressed with the OS. He seems to think Sony will use the Vita OS to go all by themselves in the mobile space a la amazon and apple. The problem is he's talking about Sony and they move slow as hell. Another problem is giving up the android market place and its thousands of apps. I don't think it'll happen, and if it does, I still expect Sony to have Windows and Android tablets, phones, and PCs available next to their own OS. Either way, best of luck to them.

Thank god they abandoned a mess called android OS. That fragmented, slow, clumsy OS has no place in gaming world.

Also adapting android basically means they are wide open for hacking attempt.
 
Have there been any formal reviews on the screen protectors yet? I would really like to know which protector has better clarity between the hori and sony ones. I have hori on preorder but it doesnt look like it will ship in time.

No you'll need a Vita for that.
 
Just want to throw out there for anyone still looking for games, Touch My Katamari plays VERY well on the Vita. If the Katamari games are something you enjoy, having one this smooth and enjoyable in your pocket is worth the $30.

On that note, can we have a section in the new |OT| that stays up to date with new/upcoming releases? It'd be kind of awesome to just have to click on said thread and see the releases worth getting excited for (versus scrounging other gaming blogs that I never visit).
 
I bought another $50 PSN card. Turned on my Vita, I was in a HSG game, I paused it, went to the stored, added my funds, quit the store, and my HSG game resumed exactly where I left it!

The future is here!
 
DISPATCHED: Vita potentially arriving tomorrow! :D

NOT DISPATCHED: Games #vitagotnogames unless SCEE bother getting that new store the hell up >:O
 
Amazon Prime is next day delivery right? So it should ship tomorrow.

It's actually kind of annoying that they do that. Some people using first class will get their shit before Prime users -.-

Also, if my system comes a day late like Resident Evil: Revelations did using "next day delivery" I will be demanding a refund on my Prime subscription.
 
Why is Amazon shipping for the UKers today? Shouldn't it ship tomorrow?

MINE HASNT SHIPPED YET NOT FAIR
 
For games that use the d-pad as the primary controller, developers are going to need to start including "turn analog control off" as an option because the analog is really waaaaay too close to the d-pad and it's super easy to accidentally touch it while moving around the d-pad.

Couldn't agree more. Specifically Lumines needs to patch in that option.

lol Dammit!! Amazon still hasn't shipped and more than likely won't till tomorrow since it's President's Day today in the US and there's no mail then.

Amazon doesn't use the US Postal Service for Release Day Delivery. UPS is running today, but it's a Wednesday release which means Amazon won't be shipping until tomorrow anyway. Gives everyone another full day to cancel 3G and add Wifi and then switch back and then switch again, and again and again.
 
Has anyone had the problem where when a hint comes up, you can't close it? Like the touchscreen is not responding at all.

Asking again in new page. Thats two Vita's in a row that I have had that are fucked up. First one had what seemed like a hairline scratch down the left side of the screen. This one freezes up whenever a hint screen pops up.
 
Head´s up to anyone who order those 6£ Ubisoft games in Amazon.co.uk, my order for Lumines and Rayman has been dispatched. This is turning out to be the bargain of the year.
