So how does the free 3g SSD redemption work? Do you get it as soon as you activate? And the free month qualifies as activating?

You get it at the end of your first 30 days of 3G, which you have to pay $15 for. So in the end you are out $15 for 2 months of 3G and SSD after the first 30 days.

no you get it 30 days later i think. once you sign up there is a page on the att website where you can get another data plan. it has options for payment (credit card etc) and on that page there will be an option that shows you have earned a promotion credit. you can use this to buy your second month for free.
 
Jaggies aside the game in some ways looks even better then the original uncharted on the PS3. Graphically for a launch game it looks amazing and gives me tingles just thinking about what the Vita will be able to achieve down the road in terms of visuals.

Oh, and the gameplay is pretty damn good too...

that's true. we gotta remember it's a launch title, now if this game release 2 years down the life cycle of vita then we complain aobut it.
 
No it's not bullshit, it's an excellent design decision considering the current state of the OS UI. Notifications currently take up a decent chunk of the upper right corner of the screen. Full screen games like Escape Plan or FIFA are where this especially can be a headache.

Sony could take cues from Apple and their notifications system.

So Sony should take cues about notifications and put big pop-ups in the middle of the screen? Or do you mean the new Apple notifications that is lifted completely from Android, in which case Sony should be taking cues from Android.

Dude, calm the fuck down. Despite your attempt at snark, the core point remains, unchallenged.
 
Giving credit where credit is due, rather than the usual "Apple invented everything", is not snark.

Save that straw man for someone else. I didn't say Apple invented everything. Considering most people have some type of iOS device, it was the most effective way to communicate the idea.
 
I regret not buying one so much.

I bought the 16GB on impulse at first, then got excited and opened the package so I can't return it.

Tons of DD Vita and PSP stuff? I'm on a 16 GB but only used about 1 GB for Lumines and SSD. I may get a 32 GB later on but at the moment it would be overkill for my needs (just downloading Vita stuff since I still have a PSP and tons of UMDs).


Next game on my list is Gravity Rush!

Have fun! I'm a little curious about Uncharted myself, since I've never played any of the UCs on the PS3. $50 still seems a lot for it, and it reportedly not having the huge set pieces that UC is famous for is dissuading me from picking it up as my entry into the series.
 
Just got done with a play through of uncharted, what a great game. All the vita touch stuff works flawlessly (don't think I ever had so much fun with a sniper rifle in my life). I hope more games of this quality make it out soon.

PS vita really is a portable console, the touch screen and back plate make up for the lack of a few buttons.

anyone use the nintendo revesible pouch(from club nintendo) to hold the psvita? does it fit in the pouch and do you guys think it a good idea? i just want to prevent it from scratches.
 
yeah i picked up the first one yesterday. but to be fair it has been 15 dollars up until last week when they dropped it to 8. i know the price drop was in the last month because i downloaded the demo last month and it was still 15 bucks so i passed. i think it was last week when they dropped it. the first one is a lot of fun. the new one looks great too.

Oh wow, you sure? My bad. I looked at it twice on the store. On time I passed and it was something like 7.49 or 7.99, and then it went on super-sale for 3.49 and I nabbed it. I figured it would be that price if the real price was $15.

I was wondering this myself. From first look I feel like the pouch might be too short but I'd definitely like to hear from someone who has both at the moment.
 
I'm getting the 32GB because I completely skipped the PSP lat gen, and I know I missed out on a lot of gems. My card will be used for PSP games and DD exclusive games like Escape Plan.
 
How are people setting the left analog to camera movement for old psp games. Foe example for peace walker. I can get to the setting screen but how to configure each button.

I love all the stuff, but it's like a treasure hunt. there is o way an average person will ever have any idea of all the stuff is capable of doing.
 
I've seen no videos or read any impressions of Ninja Gaiden Sigma plus 0_O

i never played Ninja Gaiden or Ninja Gaiden Sigma so i might get this on launch, hopefully its a good port :D

We really need to add that question to the OP, as it is getting asked FAR too many times round here.
Plus, why aren't people reading the manuals at all? They are readily available to all!

Oh, and my UK preorder on Play.com hasn't let me select what type of delivery I want, is that normal? It currently just says preordered and 3-5 days delivery...what does that even mean? I live in the UK, but never used Play before.
 
okay, i'm not good with math. so can anyone figure this out for me?

psvita size: 182.0 x 18.6 x 83.5mm
nintendo pouch:8.25 x 5 inches

so does it fits? =)

Converting:

Vita is 7.2 inches length and 3.3 inches in width. I doubt the height should matter at all considering the vita is thinner than the DS.

EDIT: had to fix height and width.

Yes? Assuming i did that right.. (I rounded kind of)
 
Is there a character list for Dynasty Warriors NEXT? I'm wondering if it's the same cast as DW7 on the 360 or if they added the characters from DW7 XL.

Most of Play's stuff comes from Jersey. 3 to 5 days is usually a fair estimate, so I expect you'll have the Vita console in your hands by the end of the week. Could be release day, but don't bet the house on it.
 
Is it true you can only charge the vita when it's powered off? It won't charge when playing a game, via USB or even in standby?

Not a dealbreaker if true but damn annoying nonetheless.
 
This is lame. I can't purchase games from the vita for some reason. I called support and all they said was that maybe the U.S. store was having issues today, but they weren't sure. I tried adding money via the playstation website and that isn't working for me either. Is anyone else having this issue?
 
DJ Max 3 impression on Vita please? I saw that some people purchased it. Played with a demo unit yesterday to see how the buttons felt so I think it should play fine. Just want some re assurance ;)

IIRC the 8-4 guys specifically talked about charging the Vita when it was turned on. So yes it can be via the normal charger.

That's quite annoying, I only went with them for a bit of cash-back via Quidco, and the preorder pack £5 voucher which Amazon don't supply. They are both the same price, but Amazon is likely to get it to me on the 21-22, Play will get it to me 23-27. Oh well, I waited all this time, a few more days wont hurt..........yeah right, AGONY!

While there are areas in Golden Abyss that are more impressive than anything seen in Uncharted 1, Uncharted 1 still had some phenomenal texture work and puts Golden Abyss to shame in that department. Overall, I'd give Uncharted 1 the slight edge.

is there gorilla glass on the PS vita screen?

It's a very nice plastic. Sadly not a very nice glass. (though way better than anything previously seen on a handheld system)
 
Is the Uncharted GA demo representative of the game? Because that was a really really bad demo...

Also, I currently have HSG, FFXIII-2, and Pushmo going at the same time. I think I have problems. This is how I spend my Saturday nights... I'm such a loser.
