I was tempted to hunt for a FEB today just to have one for the long weekend.
Currently transferring 219 wallpapers from my PC to my Vita via Content Manager. It's going extremely slow. Been at it for about 20 minutes, and it's only transferred 20 wallpapers. Anybody else have this problem or am I doing something wrong?
Also thanks to the poster for linking me to the Youtube video with the Hori screen protector.

The FEB cases are selling for over $40 on eBay! So, the value of the FEB edition is much better than the naysayers were giving it. Go for it!!
yea I can post impressions and mayb few photos. But I don't know when it will arrive lol. hopefully it comes by next week.
Yes, data transfer is slow ! Sony definitely should at least double the performance by hook or by crook. >8^/

Isn't netflix supposed to be available on vita by the official launch next week? I thought I remember hearing that somewhere.
Yes, they are shooting for it.
It's really slow.
Though not as slow as 20 minutes for 20 images.
I hate the content manager. So much.
Also, I keep forgetting that the Vita hasn't actually launched yet. I was sitting here whining and moaning that my replacement Vita won't ship from Amazon until the 22nd... But I've had the Vita for over a week and most people have still been waiting to even get their first one. I'm such a selfish ass.
I ordered it from play-asia. But it hasn't shiped yet.
there is also black and blue
this is blue one.
I bought it
I love the quality and feel. Its an awesome case. I have the blue one.Marty Chinn

The one auction I looked at it sold for $40 w/ free shipping. So after you deduct the eBay fees and the cost of shipping, and the PayPal fee, you maybe break even or lose. At best you take the sting out of money lost on Little Deviants a bit better =)
Yup, GPS killed my battery today.
Went ahead and turned that setting off in Near.
Glad to see it working though.
God, such nostalgia. I remember when I picked up that 11 pound box and brought it home. Can't believe it's been almost 6 years already, time sure goes fast.
They gave really nice PS3 bags at the Metreon for them too.
I bought it
Do you think it will last long, and doesn't get dirty easily?

For those who have the Trigger Grips...
Is there a case that will hold both the Trigger Grip on the Vita at the same time?

Outside of the Traveler Case (maybe), I doubt it.

Nice. I'm so damn tempted to get a vita. I bought a psp at launch in 2005, but it got stolen like a year later and I never got another. My ps3 just died too so I'm without a console to game on right now and I'm hesistant to buy another one at this point in it's lifespan for $250, so I'm thinking the vita would be a nice stop gap until the new consoles are out. Ipad 3 is coming next month though and I've been wanting to get an ipad too. Hard decisions.
it is awesome, been playing Fifa more then i thought i would. Its amazing on the Vita
Someone asked for impressions on the Pouch (Blue/white/black). Build quality looks really good, has a nice softness on the outside (think nylon jacket) and on the inside it has a nice soft fabric. It has a 2 zippers up top, basically the top half unzips and opens like a pencil pouch.
When you first open it there is a foam cutout in the shape of the vita inside on one half (where the vita is meant to be contained).
The other half (split with a divider that has foam built into it) is just empty space for cords,etc.
The divider has room for three games that face the empty side of the pouch.) The inside is a nice soft material and the divider is a sort of foam/memory foam feel.
Id give it a 8/10. Would be a higher rating but the price is a little high (should be 19.99) and the blue color is darker then i would have liked ( I thought it was more like the Blue DSI color). So far I havent gotten it dirty at all but I have only had it for about 2-3 days.

damn... I sold mine to a guy for only $20 :-(
but I wasn't really looking to make a lot of money off it, just to offset the cost of the Hori case I imported from Japan
i took a look at those cases, but i think i want something slim, and a hard case too. the VIP case still seems to win out - as I don't plan on taking game carts/cables with me.
do we know how "safe" that zavvi site is? it still says shipping to canada is £0.99. seems a bit strange, i'm holding off

I've had a Vita since the Japanese launch, and had it tied to my Japanese PSN account with an 8GB memory card.
Picked up a 32GB card to setup with my US account, and wondering what's the best way to get this set up so I can switch between the two at will?
Do I need to deactivate while I have the old memory card in, or can I just take the card out and put the new one in and setup as if I'm working with a new system?

my description of the inside may have been odd to read here is a picture if anyone is interested in how it looks.

lol A gaffer also sold me his for 20 bucks. Really, out of all the cases, the FEB one looked the most useful to me since I'll be throwing my Vita in a backpack.
haha sorry, i know how much the wait sucks. Last tuesday i was going crazy, doing whatever i could to make the time go by faster
Yeah, it's great for holding the system, but you basically have to flip the case with your hand under it to get the Vita out of it. It's still nice though. Protects it good.

Cool, thanks. I'll keep the case in mind if I end up getting another one. It all comes down to getting these damn stench out of the FEB case.
I would love to find something like this for the Vita:

Yep. Why didn't they just add a flap you could use to pull it out of the case? Weird.

I posted earlier about having problems connecting to AT&T. I called AT&T support and they said it's probably the vita, so they transferred me to Sony and they said it was probably AT&T...but they also said I could send it in for repair if I wanted to. I had a strong feeling that my unit wasn't defective so I went to AT&T and asked if they could check out my sim card, they tried it on another device and it wasn't working, so they gave me another and it's all good now. So if anyone else is having problems like me, you could try what I did to fix it.

just to clarify....when sony announced that Vita owners who also had the PS3 Wipeout are entitled to free downloads of VIta Wipeout.....do they mean PS3 owners who bought Wipeout DLC are entitled to free Wipeout 2048 DLC, or that they are entitled to a free download of Wipeout 2048 the Vita game itself???
im still a bit confused about sony's wording of the promotion, so please forgive me

You could always use me as a litmus test. I'll keep you posted on how long it takes for my VIP case to arrive, whether it ships out right away on the 22nd and whether I get dinged by customs.
Cheers!

they are entitled to free Wipeout 2048 DLC
Just watched a few Lockerz videos, and can get ModNation Racers: Road Trip for $20.99.
I'm hesitant, though I'm not sure why. I played a coworkers ModNation on his Vita yesterday, and thought it was just as fun as the PS3 version.
I also already have 3 Vita games: Uncharted, Rayman, and Wipeout (the latter 2 are still listed as "Not Shipped," so I have no idea if they'll arrive by Wednesday evening, which is when I'll get my Vita from Amazon). Not to mention I have 3 PSP games to copy to the system: Corpse Party, Gladiator Begins, and FF Dissidia 012. I'm also buying Mutant Blobs Attack on Tuesday, because I loved the first game on the PS3, and it's $8, how can I resist? I guess the point is that I have a lot of games to play on my Vita already, so do I really need ModNation?
But, man, $20.99 is super tempting. How long do these Lockerz deals last, and do my points expire? I've never used the site before. And then I wonder if they'll have deals on the next batch of Vita games (ie, Gravity Rush and Unit 13), in which case, I can probably hold off using my points on MNR for one of those (whichever releases first, and if the demo of Unit 13 next week doesn't turn me off on it. lol).
Thoughts?

This is what I had originally planned on using.... I layered my blue and red one inside of the other to create some padding. Does the Vita fit?

I'm curious about this too. I've always wanted that pouch and I have the coins for it. Anybody here have it and the Vita?
(I know the irony of not wanting it to hold a 3DS, lol, but I already have a case for that)
I may have gone a little overboard with some of my purchases this week, lol. I got the FEB, and 5 games for my Vita. I feel like I should've maybe held off on at least one game. I got Touch my Katamari a couple days ago, and I haven't even opened it yet. I could technically still return it, but I bought it from my work, and I'm just embarrassed to return it. I hope you guys don't mind me saying this, but I'd sell it to someone on here for $25 if anyone's interested in saving me the embarrassment, lol.

Did anyone catch this hilarious picture on the playstation blog?
They implied that Jack Tretton is handing out a Vita box at midnight launch.
nothing says "security" like BBGs (big black guys).

edit: cancelled my pre-order. I get the feeling I'll find better deals...but I'll wait until after iPad 3 is announced to make a decision.
