I think, if nothing else, at worst you can expect a lot of 360/PS3 ports

Hope someone notices this question because this thread is moving so fast, but, how long does the Vita have to be charged right out of the box before playing with it?
I can't pick mine up until after work and then by the time I get it home it'll be relatively late. Can it be played with without charging first?

I had a go of one today. It's a very nice bit of kit with a stunning screen. Impressive.

okay, I am sure this has been talked about, but how do you update this thing and use your pre existing account? or do I have to make a new one for the system udpate?

FEB+ is BooBoo approved!
Pretty sure it has some juice in it. Don't know how much. But it's enough to power on if that's what you're asking.
That Target deal applies to all Vita games ? And only games ?
1. Choose to not use an existing account and finish the set up process.
2. Firmware update
3. Log in using your PSN account.
Eh, if I remember correctly, someone said you ARE seen on the PS3 but you're idle the whole time. It doesn't show you playing any games.

My haul:
Going digital for the most part with everything else. Damn if the screen quality isn't so bad ass.
Word of warning for initial startup: If you are trying to connect it to your PSN account, it won't let you, says there's an update. Just say you want to use an initial default one, it'll have you pick your country and that's about it, you don't have to create a whole useless PSN account. Then just go update and then link to your PSN. Confused me at first.

I'm raking in some serous promotions with this launch. It seems that everything I want to pick up has some great offer somewhere.
So, if I buy my 16 gig memory card at Toys R Us, combined with the free $10 with my console preorder, I'll be getting $30 in PSN money to buy Escape Plan and SSD along with a PSP game. That's pretty awesome.
- Preorder Vita at Vita Hill Digital Club Boston, free $10 PSN card.
- Buy 2 get 1 free at Target
- Buy $50 in Vita goods at Toys R Us, get $20 gift card

nice. thanks.
(also, I probably wouldn't have asked this if I wasn't setting everything up in front of my desktop.)
Good point. PSP was wildly successful in Japan. Considering I like eastern developed games more than anything else, and the Vita being region free, I should find plenty to be happy with.
I tried it myself. Nothing shows up in the Content Manager. (this is for Where is my Heart mini)

Mine came with >75% charge and I've heard the same from others on here.
Very pleased how easily the sony protective film went on. Front and back are protected!

I will never understand this.
Yep you buy once and get both versions. Out next week in Europe. No release date for US yet i don't think.
Cool, I didn't know Toys R Us has a Vita promo too.
Was the backtouch as easy to install as the front?

Oh yeah, protip about the Vita profile banners: make sure your PS3 is off when you change them. Otherwise, your color banner will probably show up as the default slate/grey for PS3 users.
enjoy!! the 4GB card wasn't in the system for me.
Damn, hope i can remember my PSN password. I know i wrote it down when i had to change it after the hack but i don't know where it is and i keep it saved in my ps3. shit.

Thanks. Yoshidas answer made it sound like PS3 players can't see you online while online on the Vita.

No, the guide is meant for the front screen, which makes everything so easy.
But I had to trim the film and line it up best I could.
Came out good, but not perfect.

Yes. Mine shipped with 90% charge. Enjoy!

@Captain N How did you get the games that aren't due to release until next week? I would love to get Katamari today as well, but Amazon won't be shipping that until next week.

Some stores have it in stock already. No street dates for the games at retail.

It's in separate packaging I believe.
Gamestop got an email saying Katamari and Army Corps of Hell dropped their street date for the 22nd.

Copying all of my digital downloads (PSP and PSVita games) to the Vita right now. Going to test out Gods Eater Burst for those that asked.

Anyone have notes on how the 3G plan (lack of plan) works?

Yah, comes in the retail-looking package, like you bought it off the shelf.
Picked up my FEB this morning on my way to class. Had about 10 minutes with before I had to get to class. This being my first time ever seeing the system in person, I was a bit surprised, the system is a lot lighter than I expected it to be, also it doesn't feel as "expensive" as the PSP did, but...
Wow at the screen.
It's huge! The OLED display is amazing, put in Wipeout quickly to see it action and it looks amazing on the screen.
For those of wondering Little Deviants comes in a NOT FOR RESALE box, while the 4GB memory card comes in the regular packaging with a sticker over the bar code. I picked up a 16GB card as well, so I'm going to try and get rid off both the 4 gig and Little Deviants somehow.

11 games.
You could have gotten 12 games, and 4 of them would have been free at Target.
I don't know, that seems pretty worth it to me.
Sweet haul nonetheless.
i have 11 games and only payed for 3 of them. you might nor know the whole story.
Stay classy.
