This accessory sucks; don't buy it. It looks nice enough, but it covers up the headphone jacks when closes, and is pretty cumbersome all around.

[WipedOut]

Just got mine, one stuck pixel right in the middle just above center.

 

[whatdidyousay]

My Vita was just delivered at home and now I absolutely can't concentrate on anything here at work.

 

[Gen X]

I can, I just have a huge bulge in my shorts, nothing new.

So do I and I don't have my Vita yet.

Wait wha...?

damn, this was the one I was planning on getting since we can't (easily) get the VIP case here.. hmm

 

[Lighthouse]

Damn, like on the PS3? I was hoping it'd be different this time around.

Much worse in my case, my PS3 downloads are comparable to 360.

That's terrible.

I have it. The only good thing I can say about it is that it includes a nice stand so you can prop it up if you're travelling.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I HAD AN IDEA

What if you bought 200 4gb cards and put them in a bowl of cereal/milk and called them Memory Bits?

GENIUS!

Plastic-O's?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I got this beat.

I bought onimusha and time splitters a full year before i owned a ps2.

I have 5 PS2 games and have never owned a PS2.

 

[Ken Masters]

can I set my wireless Sony 7.1 headset with the Vita?

 

[Leon S. Kennedy]

Good news for us Gabachos and Gringos here in the U.S. Best Buy honored the Canadian coupon for a free copy of Uncharted with the first edition bundle. They said they would when I pre-ordered and they kept their word.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn the transfer speed is slower than what I would want it to be! HURRY UP GAMES!

I have 3 PSV and 4 PSP games transferring.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

Little Deviants has a $10.00 trade in value, btw. While not generous, it's still better than being stuck with the "game."

Best buy gives $16 +40% for buying a vita game +10% for unlocked puts it at. $24

[RuinerPrime]

How much is the A&AT service a month? Is it 15 or 25 bucks? I keep hearing both...

 

[Mrbob]

How does Near work? Do you need wifi, or is there a separate wireless signal in the Vita Near reads from?

Probably a YMMV situation, but a sweet deal for you!

 

[Rollo Lawson]

its 15/mo for 250mb and 30/mo for 3gb

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

with my first child due on March 21st I may need a Vita to keep me sane during the late nights.

hmmmm

what say you gaf?

I'm right there with you, buddy. My first child is due March 1st. Vita is releasing just in time as I think my console playing days will extremely limited.

 

[krae_man]

Got my Vita!

And now crazy comparrison photos:

 

[o0achilles0o]

I'd throw $20 shipped at anyone wanting to dispose of their copy of Little Deviants. I'm in Oregon, USA and have perfect eBay feedback...

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

can I set my wireless Sony 7.1 headset with the Vita?

Hmm, actually this gives me a good question, does the Vita support 5.1/7.1 surround? I'll use my Astros if so.

 

[Acquiescence]

Guys, the Hori Protective Screen Filter - worth it for £6.99? Is the Vita a smudge/fingerprint magnet or what's the deal there.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Just got mine, one stuck pixel right in the middle just above center.

Ugh. Now I am even more anxious to get home from work to see how my screen will turn out. Sorry to hear about yours. : (

 

[theBishop]

can I set my wireless Sony 7.1 headset with the Vita?

Doesn't that thing use a proprietary usb dongle? I don't see how Vita could spit a 7.1 signal to it.

 

[StuBurns]

Can you return them if there are dead pixels?

 

[Chiggs]

Getting ready to apply the screen protector. Running the shower at full blast to generate enough steam for the bathroom.

Wish me luck!

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Just received an email, my 32 GB memory card shipped to The Netherlands! Oh yes, it's here in time. It must. I feel it.

 

[brettchalupa]

Does the Vita heat up if you play for a long time? Or do a lot of Wi-Fi/3G gaming?

No, not at all.

And thank god for these big hands. I can type without removing my hands from the system, with my thumbs.

Huh?

Congrats to both of you guys. I had my fist child on July 31st 2009. My console time was cut down some, but noway near as much as I expected. At this point my boy is infatuated with gaming. He goes absolutely bonkers when I fire up NBA 2K12. Can't wait till he's old enough to play me competitive in games. :^P

 

[Gen X]

Holy shit at size compared to Lynx. I loved my Atari Lynx.

Also, glad to see the screen is almost the size of the 3DS shell.

I AM EXCITE! (I also need to stop coming in here till next week)

Damn. I was going to get that. What are some good Vita cases? What about the one in the starter pack?

 

[Ken Masters]

Doesn't that thing use a proprietary usb dongle? I don't see how Vita could spit a 7.1 signal to it.

you're right, I forgot about that :/

 

[The Elite]

Is their no way to watch youtube videos on this thing yet?

OT: What do the FEB adopters think about the case? I can barely fit that thing in my pockets!

I can't fit that thing in a pocket. It's huge. I like it though. It's not like the system is made for a pocket.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Just got mine, one stuck pixel right in the middle just above center.

Oh no. I'm really sorry to hear that man, what a bummer.

I hope this isn't a major issue. My PSP-3000 has 3 dead pixels (2 green, 1 blue) and just knowing that they're there kind of bothers me, although I have learned to deal with it. If my Vita came with one I would probably try to get it replaced though, I don't feel like dealing with that again. (I know, first world problems)

 

[Dog Problems]

Much worse in my case, my PS3 downloads are comparable to 360.

Crap, hope it's not as bad as the PS3 is for me. It took almost five minutes to download a 44mb patch the other day, lol.

Wish me luck!

Geez, that's required for the protectors? Yeah, I'm returning mine now.

 

[Ken]

Huh?

Water molecules in the steam collect dust in the atmosphere and bring them down so they won't be floating about and land on your Vita when you try to attach the screen protector.

 

[- J - D -]

Got my Vita!

Vita has something in common with the portables in this pic.


Also, lol you have a Tapwave Zodiac?

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

They still want it to look nice.

Do you guys keep the plastic on your new couches?

 

[Midou]

Picked mine up this morning.

Buttons and analogs could feel better but still work well.

UI could look better, but runs pretty sexy fast.

Hot Shots Golf is pretty awesome, graphically and content wise.

Bought a PSP game to see how that all goes too. Though it's lunar so it's not like it should make a huge graphical difference.

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

So I got my Vita unpacked, got the screen saver applied without incident (thank you, Sony!) and ran setup without any problems (just told it no, I don't want to sign into my PSN account right now first time through and had no problems - thank you, GAF). After the firmware update I brought Metal Slug Anthology down off my download list and tried it and it was beautiful (great D-pad, btw), then I installed Escape Plan and Super Stardust Delta off my PS3 and that went smoothly...

...then I dropped in Uncharted and spent an hour playing it, and I've just come up long enough to say OMFG, I can't believe I'm playing this game on a handheld!

PSP launch did this to me the first time I saw Ridge Racer on it... Before that, I think it was the Lynx that blew me away with Blue Lightning... I'm awed... this system is a game changer...

gotta go play somemore...

Twenty people playing nearby in the Yonge and Lawrence area of Toronto!!!

I got nine or ten from Orleans (Eastern suburb of Ottawa) - which frankly kinda surprised me...

 

[Chiggs]

What??

The humidity gets rid of the dust in the air. I'm in a very dry climate.

Ah, I didn't know that. I thought it actually mentions doing that as part of the application, haha.

 

[mrklaw]

Can you explain a bit. Is your account US and can transfer EU account games? Or your account is EU in the first place?

Japanese vita, UK psn account on ps3, same account on vita, games bought from that account

I collect handhelds, those pics are only some of the handhelds I own. Zodiac is actually pretty awesome minus the ass battery life.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Geez, that's required for the protectors? Yeah, I'm returning mine now.

Not sure what he's on about, you shouldn't need steam. The Hori one just has a guide backing to the sticky part and walks you through it. No tools or outside weather necessary.

[brettchalupa]

Signing up for 3G via the web browser on the Vita is utter shit.
