I'm not really enjoying Guacamelee (despite appreciating the designers trying to do something different) but Tearaway is something special.

I just don't get it why Flower doesn't give you the option to use buttons and sticks for the controls (also for the PS3 version).
It is just my problem, I am allergic to touch and gyro controls. I am not a Wii-man.
Should I even bother to open my $20 copy of Tearaway? I've heard it isn't very good.
Delta is a gen. I highly recommend it.
That's odd, I've heard nothing but praise. The only aspect in which it's lacking seems to be its length, which doesn't have to be an issue if you don't like long games anyway. In any case it won't overstay its welcome.

I'm ordering my Vita tomorrow night. Shall be my main Christmas present. This will be the first handheld I've got for Christmas since my GBA SP! Very excited. 10 days can't pass soon enough, my parents are very strict that the 25th is the earliest we open presents 
And the fact it will be getting delivered here is all the worse.

Masterballs, do yourself a favour, set up a PSN account and buy spelunky while it's on sale:

Oh is that the UK bundle? Sale ended but it's worth full price when you get it!

Ordering PS Vita 2000 without OLED Issues or PS Vita 1000 with OLED Issues and 10 Games?
What issues?

OLED Burn in... i mean just the risk that it happens. Its a new one.
There's going to be splotches noticeable during low lighting too, which is an inherent issue with the OLED screens as far as I can tell. That said, I think the OLED looks great most of the time.
What games would you get with the 1000?

Spelunky isn't on sale in the EU store, or at least not anymore :'( I already have a PSN account, think I bought like... one PS1 classic on my old preowned PSP, so I have that to look forward to. Best game ever though, Mickey's Wild Adventure. Rock solid platforming, hard as nails designed by David Jaffe. I advise any Disney fan look into it, it's gorgeous too.
The OLED screen better be damn good after how much shit my supposedly inferior 3DS has got ;(
joke post?
Unless you plan on using it to browse the internet for hours and hours at a time with no breaks for games or just breaks...hell yeah OLED. Games would be a nice bonus.
No worries, the game is worth an extra fiver anyway and yeah OLED is magic. Magic has some technical issues under certain conditions, but that's nothing for the magic imo.

Yeah heard it and saw it myself. The Burn in thing is uglier.
So only the browser does that? Good then its Vita 1000.
It is damn good.

So Tearaway is a 3D platformer? A genuine bonified 3D platformer? Good lord, haven't had one of those since Daxter...
Ten games seems like a pretty good deal. Though, is this the mega pack bundle you're talking about? I got that one and personally only liked LBP and Wipeout (which is still a good deal though). Not into that semi top down racing of Motorstorm RC. Mind that Ratchet and Clank is a PSP game, and Frobisher Says and Ecolibrium are free by default if I'm not mistaken (Lemmings too?), the other ones I didn't try.
You'll still need a memory card for either choice.
OLED looks great, but I will be going for the 2K myself. Apart from the screen and the lack of shiny borders, it looks like it's got some pleasant improvements. The slightly longer battery life and that the battery can be replaced is cool.

Hmm just as a casual outsider looking in, that "10 games" is sneaky because it's 2 Vita games and then a few apps and PSP titles. Tut tut, much rather Tearaway & LBP.

Picked up Tearaway at GameStop today, and I'm looking forward to firing it up. Dragon's Crown has been stealing all of my Vita time. It's by far the best game I've played on the system, and one of the best games I've ever played on any handheld ever.
I considered picking up a copy of the PS3 version, but I can't see myself playing it on a console, tethered to a TV.
Also dabbled in Soul Sacrifice thanks to PS+ and look forward to playing Sonic Racing All Stars this month!

...this is a joke, right?
Hmm that puts it in a little bit of a box that I think it breaks out from. It is a 3D platformer, but there's more to it. It's really a great experience.
I've only seen this photo for the burn in from google:
That's the bar from the web browser. Now the browser is good so don't be afraid of using it. A lot of us use it. I haven't read anyone mention anything...It shouldn't be an issue. Only for static images left for a very long time. I play wipeout speed laps for hours at time and the GUI overlay hasn't burnt into my screen or anything like that. OLED rocks!

Yeah its the Mega Pack. And im only interested in LBP Wipeout and Motorstorm. The rest is meh.
Tearaway and Persona 4 will be mine after buying the vita.
I'll give you the exact opposite advice - save the best for last.
Play through AC:Liberation and Killzone Mercs first, as they ain't that long and then take your time to dive into the jrpg godness that is P4G.There is a option in Motorstorm (not sure about Wipeout) to reduce the opacity of the UI. This should save you the worry about it burning in.
The only place this "war" is happening is Japan. I'd be surprised if they ever bring it out over here, they must have a surplus of 1000 models for the US and Euro markets given how few units move every month.

Dude, I love 3D platformers
Should I get a PS+ sub? There's some excellent games on offer this month, and to be honest it's like laying groundwork for the PS4, what with Remote Play too.

That sub will probably cost less than the games you want, so yes!
Hey I'd love another Vita 2000 to complement my 1000, maybe...but I wouldn't miss out on OLED though (now that I've gotten used to it)...Didn't know about the replaceable battery though. Pretty good for longterm. Might try and hold out for a vita legendary edition.
Take your time with Tearaway, don't rush through it looking for a challenge but enjoy the world. Also the camera really is fantastic, most fun I've had with one in a game since Pokemon Snap. They should have had a photobook with a list of things to snap.
J&D I is a bit choppy or low framerate or something janky but damn is it fun. First time I played it too.

It's not. Had a blast playing J&D on Vita.
Hate Jak II in general, so can't really comment, but full price for portable J&D was worth it for me.

Honestly, it would be crazy not to. A year of PS+ is barely more than the price of one Vita game, and you'll have two new games to play every month, as well as cloud saves for all games.
Well, I mean, your own experienced will vary, but I personally didn't enjoy playing a game that was 60fps on ps2 at 20-25fps average with a very low resolution and juddery unnatural right-stick camera movement, but maybe my standards are too high.

I have absolutely zero idea what to expect with Tearaway. All I know is Amazon usually charges £50+ more for inferior titles and lesser memory cards.
What's the advantages of the 2000? Battery life?

Good to know though. Jak II is janky for sure, but I love it!

I am quite eager to see how the OLED screen is after so many testimonies...
Just head to the Portable Console Screenshot Thread here to see comparison shots between the 3DS and the Vita.
http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=732016&page=1
Now, take those gorgeous Vita shots and imagine them in high density 5 inch size, in motion and with the most gorgeously saturated colors you can think of. No screenshots do that OLED justice.
So yeah, it's damn good.

So, why the hell is the Arkham Origins trophy list now saying PS3 and Vita?
Yeah. I mean, honestly I would be all on board with the 2000 if it weren't for the front face not being completely covered in acrylic, resulting in a weird bezel thing aroundt he screen and cheap looking plastic around the left and right sides of the face, and it would be hard to move away from the OLED. However, I love the sides and back, with the redesigned touchpad and bigger grips, and the micro USB charger. Extra hour of battery life, too.
Overall the 1000 just looks a lot more premium.
Soak up your 3DS now...you'll need fond memories to look back to.

Heh. I know. Everyone is so down on it.
Only a couple more days until Runner 2 and Mutant Mudds! I'm glad I held off on the 3DS version of Mudds, because it will probably look AMAZING on the Vita screen.
Haha, 3DS has some good qualities, but that screen quality is not one of them
Hey! There is no favorite child here!

Yeah, like I said I really do like the look of the sides and back. The colors are nice.
