Figured this would be a good question for the top of the page:

So for the new Vita owners, has your opinion on the console changed since you have gotten your hands on it?

 

[Baconsammy]

Very first "mission" in AC Liberation and the framerate has already gone to shit. Boooo.

Did you download the update?

 

[Baconsammy]

Did you download the update?

1.01 yes.

 

[kvothe]

PSASBR is pretty damn fun, only gripe is picking up items using the touchscreen.

It's possible to change input layout, isn't it?

 

[cyborg009]

1.01 yes.

Oh ok
You should see how it runs without it :]

But anyways you'll leave the city soon, Bayou and Itza perform way better and look amazing too.

Got mine today, ordered it with prime free so that was nice and quick. Still no All Stars or PS+ codes though

I've only received my all stars code but nothing else and it's definitely not in my spam folder.

How do you update when it logs you off PSN?

 

[dallow_bg]

Patches are done on the LiveArea screen.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Patches are done on the LiveArea screen.

That sounds silly. It should tell you one is there when you boot the game.

Edit. I had to hunt around for the patch but found it. That is really dumb how they have that set up.

 

[Baconsammy]

That sounds silly. It should tell you one is there when you boot the game.

It kinda does. When you go to the start area for the game, there's a big orange/yellowish arrow indicating that there's a download available for the game.

Some games do

This game doesn't oddly and a lot people miss this.

I got my AC3 code a few hours ago, and the Vita is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

It's not that hard. You won't get a prompt but if you just refresh the LiveArea for a specific game and in 2 seconds you'll find out if there is a new update or not.

Oh goody. Inconsistencies with basic stuff depending on each game.

 

[Baconsammy]

Comparing the OS, account system, and online store, it's a damn shame that the Vita is losing to the 3DS. It's bloody night and day in quality.

Stop being an old jaded gamer. How are you feeling about the framerate in the game, btw?

 

[pharmboy044]

I gotta agree with you there.

 

[Sourtreats]

Huzzar my Vita finally arrived. I feel like im 14 again getting the PSP for the first time.

 

[VanWinkle]

Comparing the OS, account system, and online store, it's a d*** shame that the Vita is losing to the 3DS. It's bloody night and day in quality.

Oh yeah, the difference is astronomical really. And your earlier comment about the dpad, I could not agree more. It's easily the best in recent gaming hardware history.

 

[ShyGuy0504]

I just opened my Vita, and wow. The system looks gorgeous and feels solid. I'm very impressed so far and I haven't even turned it on yet. I'm letting it charge before I use it. Also the memory cards and games are really small. I assumed they would be around the same size as DS games.

 

[Baconsammy]

The dpad is making me even better at Lumines. So fast and responsive.

I didn't miss out too much, bought a 199 bundle and returned the game for 29 credit.

What are good quality headphones that I can use for both the Vita and the 3DS? Doesn't matter if wired/wireless, price doesn't matter either.

I use 14 dollar Skullcandy in-the-ear headphones and everything sounds great. I'm sure others will cringe at much choice, but hey they're cheap and the sound is really good to me.

I would always recomment Sony XB500s. Really fun to listen to. Comfortable for long periods of gaming, great bass and treble, and really good sound quality in general.

Sweet, good thing you said that, I totally missed that the first time somehow. I'm just missing the Assassin Creed's discount thing then.

Adding my PSN was a breeze and the store allowed me to find stuff pretty easily. I just downloaded the patch but yeah, the framerate was hurting. Will play again soon.

The Sony Pulse Wireless Headphone is awesome on Vita (PS3 and PC too).

 

[CoachKevin]

Add me if you want some PSN friends for Vita gaming. Would love to get some games of Wipeout and NFS going.

*high five* Those headphones are excellent.

If you want something affordable the monoprice DJ headphones are freaking phenomenal for the price.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Heads up Vitabros. I just came back from Target with the Sony Vita travel case on clearance for $5.

I've been seeing some Vita cases on my local Target's clearance rack for the past month, and I picked one up a week or two ago in preparation for this sale. The first kind was that odd "carrying case," which attaches to the Vita itself and is supposed to fold into some kind of stand. The second was PDP's "Crystal Case," which was your standard hard case fare, holds the system and carts/games.

They cost the same, so I ended up going with the crystal case, because the carrying case looked kinda flimsy and didn't hold any carts. It ended up being the right choice, judging from reviews of the "carrying case" on GAF and Amazon. The crystal case isn't faring much better in the reviews (the locking mechanism isn't very good), but at least it holds carts and covers the whole device.

How do I delete the bubbles I don't want on there?

 

[pharmboy044]

How do I delete the bubbles I don't want on there?

Just like an iPhone. But, there are some apps/bubbles that come with the OS that can't be deleted.

 

[leng jai]

How do I delete the bubbles I don't want on there?

Press and hold the icon. All the default Vita apps can't be deleted unfortunately.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Guess which ones I wanted to delete

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

So don't accidentally delete the email with your codes, because Amazon can't send you a new one.

 

[toastyToast]

My one gripe about the OS: I hate the bubbles. They take up way too much space. It's like I'm playing with one of my nephews Fischer Price toys. Maybe if the bubbles were folders and opened up a standard list I wouldn't mind so much

I was really impressed at how you can pretty much jump out of a game at any moment and do other stuff then jump back in. No audio skipping either

Everything is pretty snappy actually

 

[DR2K]

So don't accidentally delete the email with your codes, because Amazon can't send you a new one.

Check you trash bin. Or did you empty it out?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

You deleted and emptied your trash?

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

It was under my spam folder, and I noticed at the last second as I was clicking the "clear spam" button.

 

[Sourtreats]

Damn, Damn, Damn. I can't use my 3 x 1 PSN+ month codes because I don't have a US credit card, I thought I might be able to get round it but I was wrong. Anyone got any suggestions?

 

[SRTtoZ]

I just moved the ones I don't want to a low page and then never scroll down to them. Not the best solution, but it works.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Just sell your 3 months to me @_@

 

[HardRojo]

Either give them away or have someone lend you a CC and delete the info after you redeem the codes. (I had 3 codes expire on me earlier this year because of that same problem)

 

[Sourtreats]

Just sell your 3 months to me @_@

How much? If I went to Walmart and bough a 3 month card will I need to enter CC details?

I know Gaffers are nice people but I can't see someone lending me their CC details haha.

I'm pretty sure that you won't need to enter your CC info if you purchase PS+ off PSN or the prepaid cards.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Speaking of code expirations: is there an expiration date on the PS+ codes we get from Amazon for this? I won't be activating mine until next month, so I assume that even if they have a date, that I'll be fine.
