[SuperDowns]

I had zero luck on my search for games and accessories. Target had nearly all the launch games out but wouldn't sell them to me, Best Buy wouldn't match the B2G1 deal, and Toys 'R Us had the games, but no memory cards or decent cases.

Pretty bummed at the moment.

The same thing happened to me. A bunch of bullcrap!

 

[The Elite]

I can't find the AR apps on the PSN Store. Where can I get them?

I think they will be available Tuesday night.

Ha! Preorder on Amazon vindicated!!! Got pretty much all my stuff Friday a week ago. And the one game that was a day late shipping, they gave me $5 back for the trouble. (and it still got to me before my FEB.)

So is this the best Sony gaming hardware?

Yes.

(lol)

I need more time with it.

I am lost as well, but based on what I've heard, you'll need a memory card for each PSN profile that you want to use. =/

Are we getting Twitter/Flickr apps Tuesday?

 

[famousmortimer]

Twelve games with a metacritic score of 74 or higher in this launch. Just as a comparison, the 3DS had 2.


Not that metacritic means everything, or even that having better games means everything. But I just thought that was pretty remarkable, especially given the doom and gloom surrounding this thing on the internet.

 

[beast786]

Yes.

(lol)

to me the only possible hardware stuff it's missing is 3D and tv output. otherwise it hass all the possible thing you can imagine .

 

[Eusis]

But I just thought that was pretty remarkable, especially given the doom and gloom surrounding this thing on the internet.

I half expect if it weren't for the smartphone/tablet market that wouldn't exist. Or if it did it'd be dialed down and based on how the PSP was doing by the end.

 

[chubigans]

Are we getting Twitter/Flickr apps Tuesday?

Yup. Can't wait.

 

[The Elite]

Yup. Can't wait.

Grace Chen better update early. Seems like there will be a lot of new content on Tuesday.

 

[FairXchange]

I'm buying too many launch games.

Just got Hot Shots Golf, which is pretty awesome but will take some getting used to.

Now debating if I should go for UMvC, or maybe Super Stardust.

It's a really good sign, and it's also probably why I feel so compelled to pick up so many of them!

I gave Dungeon Hunters Alliance demo a try. Mind-numbing.

 

[JohngPR]

PSP will serve its final act of duty on Tuesday night.

Remote Playing into my PS3 while I'm at work to pre-load all of the PSN Vita stuff so it's ready for me on Wednesday.

Best launch for any system ever. Anyone who denies hates video games

 

[cheststrongwell]

What program are you guys using to convert video to the Vita?

 

[VanWinkle]

I'm sure this will be a dumb question, but I already have Wipeout and Hot Shots Golf, I'm going to get Lumines, Virtua Tennis, and Marvel vs Capcom at Target, which leaves me with Uncharted and one other game at Toys R Us. That other game will be either Katamari or Rayman. Which one should I get? (I think I know what everyone is going to say)

Rayman. Rayman. Rayman.

 

[dallow_bg]

So would I need two memory cards to try this then?

That's what I did, and it didn't work.. Then again, I only own one memory card.
I attempted to sign out (US account) and then sign in with my HK. But I got some message stating I can only log-in with the account that is tied to the Vita. I'm pretty sure getting a second memory card will fix this issue.

You can do it with one memory card.
Just say no to formatting the memory card when it asks.

 

[PaulLFC]

Doesn't really surprise me as it's a port of a Gameloft iPhone game that they sell for 69p on the app store, but have the cheek to charge £30-odd for on the Vita. Just another reason to dislike Ubisoft I guess.

 

[d0c_zaius]

So is this the best Sony gaming hardware?

While I can't speak for everything, it has the best D-pad, screen and control options of any portable.

Never thought Twisted Metal would sit in a neglected PS3 while I play vita/PSP games.

 

[chubigans]

Best launch for any system ever. Anyone who denies hates video games

I will agree with this statement.

 

[nicoga3000]

I gave Dungeon Hunters Alliance demo a try. Mind-numbing.

Personally, I really love both editions of the game on my iPad. I can't imagine they've added anything worth paying $40 for, ever. It's sort of disgusting that they're charging $40 for a game you can get on iOS or PSN for like, $5.

Speaking of that genre, are any of the Untold Legends games compatible with the Vita? Those were actually quite fun (and much cheaper).

And not sure if this has been answered yet, but how do backup save data on your PS3? For both Vita games and download titles...

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Yep, game sucks.

 

[blurredvision]

So what's the trick to keeping a download going while not using the system? Do you just let the screen time out and go into stand-by?

I plan on picking it up in a week for $15. No way it sells at $40.

That works, yeah.

 

[no_to_co]

That works, yeah.

huh, not for me. When it goes standby it stops downloading

 

[Ken]

Erm, it worked for me last night with WipEout's 33 minute download.

 

[Chip N Chance]

People with the FEB, can you tell me what Demos are available at launch. Ive found them on my PS3 by searching for the name. I found Little Deviants, and Rayman.

 

[Henry Jones Jr]

Best launch for any system ever. Anyone who denies hates video games

I agree with this big time. I don't have my system yet so I can't comment on how pleased i am with the hardware, but the games my god. There are 5 games I am actually excited to play at launch. With most new hardware I'm only excited for the hardware itself and just buy 1 game just to see how good the graphics are, and then wait 3-6 months for a game that I am actually excited for. It's going to be strange not having that post first-week excitement drought.

 

[MikeE21286]

I've got 5 games and have yet to download SsD or Escape Plan. I also bought 3rd birthday.

 

[blurredvision]

People with the FEB, can you tell me what Demos are available at launch. Ive found them on my PS3 by searching for the name. I found Little Deviants, and Rayman.

I've downloaded demos for Uncharted: GA, Asphalt, Rayman, and Dungeon Hunters Alliance. Not sure what else is there currently.

 

[Ken]

Vita demos currently up on the US PSN store (accessed from a Vita)

Asphalt: Injection
Dungeon Hunter Alliance
Little Deviants
Lumines: Electronic Symphony
Rayman Origins
Uncharted: Golden Abyss

 

[Chip N Chance]

I've downloaded demos for Uncharted: GA, Asphalt, Rayman, and Dungeon Hunters Alliance. Not sure what else is there currently.

Yeah ive found those, but ive pre downloaded Little Deviants and Rayman. I was kinda hoping for a Hot Shots and Wipeout demo.

Vita demos currently up on the US PSN store (accessed from a Vita)

Appreciate it man.

To back up your Vita save data for any particular game, you have to back up the entire game app through Vita's Content Manager app. You can't individually back up save files, unfortunately.

People with the FEB, can you tell me what Demos are available at launch. Ive found them on my PS3 by searching for the name. I found Little Deviants, and Rayman.

Rayman
Lumines
Michael Jackson
Uncharted
Little Deviants
Asphalt: Injection

I'm guessing more will be put up at launch.

edit: beaten!

 

[Takao]

Are we getting Twitter/Flickr apps Tuesday?

Yes. Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, and Netflix should be there. 4Sqaure and Skype are questionable.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Am I the only one really bothered by the lack of manuals? WTF is this shit lol

Hell no. They can burn in a fire

Reading manuals on Vita is as smooth and carefree as Kindle Fire for me. If reading is that good, I don't want manuals anymore nor do I care.

Just purchased Megaman Maverick Hunter X for $10 on SEN, will be my first time playing it, I can't wait!

Feel free to call it PSN brother!

ah, monday morning....

PSN - search vita - check - wait
PSN - search vita - check - wait
PSN - search vita - check - wait

Hurry up, Chenster! Pull the lever! (yes i know i'm about 60 hours early...)

... i've no idea why i'm stacking up more games, i've not had time to even boot up Good People Die :/ (though with #datjapanese i'll have to just look at the pictures and guess the story! )

Spoken like a heathen with two many Vita's on his grubby little hands

So is this the best Sony gaming hardware?

Well, yes. The HW and SW sides were developed in tandem and it shows.

Yep, game sucks.

I have to disagree. It's worth the 10-15 range that it costs on PSN. Super fun with a close group of friends.

Yes. Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, and Netflix should be there. 4Sqaure and Skype are questionable.

I just want to see if 3G on Vita will let us do Skype. The 3G has been amazing for me thus far. So worth it.

Having GPS and GAF in the sticks is WIN.

 

[Weenerz]

Pretty silly they withheld twitter and facebook, considering you can upload screenshots you capture directly to twitter. It's not like they had to re-code it for english.

 

[chubigans]

Yes. Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, and Netflix should be there. 4Sqaure and Skype are questionable.

4square was confirmed last week for launch. I think Flickr/Netflix/Skype are the questionable ones.

Music Unlimited app will also be day one.

 

[PaulLFC]

Last I heard, Sony had "no plans" to release the Netflix app in the UK. Unless that's changed, all I can say to that is, why not? We have a UK version of Netflix here, and they already have the app developed because they're releasing it in the US, so what do they possibly lose by releasing it in the UK as well?

 

[Wario64]

4square was confirmed last week for launch. I think Flickr/Netflix/Skype are the questionable ones.

Where? Blogcast said no Foursquare

 

[Yoona]

does Parappa PSP work on Vita? Anyone know?

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I have purchased Rayman, Lumines, Uncharted, Hot Shots, and FIFA. I am seriisly considering Virtua Tennis but I want MLB. The last time I felt this euphoric about a system launch was 9/9/99.

 

[pharmboy044]

4square was confirmed last week for launch. I think Flickr/Netflix/Skype are the questionable ones.

Actually the Blogcast said 4Square is not one of the apps that is coming on Feb 22. They said Flickr/Netflix/Facebook/Twitter will be available on Feb 22.

Hopefully they get the Skype and YouTube app available soon.

Best launch for any system ever. Anyone who denies hates video games

Best hand held system launch sure. The NA dreamcast launch still is the best launch ever. I don't think any system will have a better launch than the dreamcast NA launch.

 

[chubigans]

Where? Blogcast said no Foursquare

It was in the live stream:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/13/ps-vita-livechat-starts-at-3pm-pacific/

At 5:45, Skype, 4square, Twitter and Facebook are day one. Hmm, maybe that changed for 4square then?

edit: oh so they did change it then. Phooey. Netflix day 1 is nice though.

 

[Wario64]

lol, misinformation from Sony. Not surprised I guess
