Hah, you are quick.
Gonna wait for the new page. If I post at the bottom it usually gets ignored. =p
I'll put your vote in the yes column tho!

So, yes, I'm kinda torn, guys.
I'm working on this trade with a guy, my 360S for his Vita. I don't use the 360, I haven't since I bought it, and I probably never will.
He wants to trade straight across, my 360 for his Vita, 4GB card, and cables.
He would ship his first, so I would have some hands on time with it to make sure it's acceptable before sending him my 360.
Only catch is one of the corners, where you'd put a strap, is dented, and there's a scratch on the back that he says doesn't affect functionality.

What do you guys think? Am I just desperate to pick up a Vita, or should I hold out for something better? My 'Vita Fund' is 450'ish right now, and I've been waiting for a deal on a new one, but this would let me use most of that 450 on games and accessories.

I've got scratches that sorta look the same on the rear touch(not as bad, but that doesn't look bad at all), so I'd still go for it. You don't need a strap, do you?
Honestly I would wait another couple of months and see what kind of Black Friday deals are going to come out. I expect some gift card bundling at the very least since they're going to want to get rid of stock.
But I'll be honest I'm saying this as someone who will never buy a used system. I just don't trust people to take care of them properly. If you feel confident enough it's a good working system and you can get it for a useless (to you) 360 then why not I guess. Worst case scenario you get scammed and you're out of a system you didn't want or use anyway.

I just installed and used Netflix for the first time tonight, and it's working great.
So I dunno, could it be a router issue? Netflix streams OK on other devices for you?
If you don't use the 360, why not? The scratch doesn't look like a big deal, and the systems are about equal in value.
I should mention that this isn't an isolated issue. I've seen others with the same problems on different message boards.
Netflix works perfectly on every other device I own. The issue has persisted across two different ISPs I've had at my house + countless different modem/router setups. Not to mention it also doesn't work even when connected to my school's wi-fi.

My vita came with a CRACK on the back touchpad and it hasn't affected me at all. And that dent doesnt look too bad. In the same situation and if you're okay with used systems and trust the dude then yeah I'd take that offer. And then use that vita fund on a bigger memory card (16 or 32), a screen protector and a decent case.
Edit: took a closer look at the dent, after he sent to me I would get an old strap (psp straps work well) and test it because it looks kind of bent and that may be a problem later. That's the only downside I see to this whole trade.
edit2: Looking at that second picture theres a lot of dirt and grime in the grooves...I'm not big on buying used systems and so I'm a nitpicker but that'd be a dealbreaker for me. But you may not be the same.
Wow, that sucks. I really have no idea. Works great on my end. :-/

Do it, those cosmetic faults are insignificant, and that 450 can get you a 32GB stick.

Thought I'd share some cam shots with you guys ...

I tried doing that at the university library the other day. The wifi is so slow there that I couldn't get anything (even youtube videos) to start streaming. I really hope I can get that to work some day, because it's a great way to kill some time. On Wednesdays I have 2 hours and 45 minutes to kill after one of my classes.

Is that with anti-aliasing on for Ridge Racer? I've been wanting a good racing game on my Vita and I've heard if I want all the content on the Vita version I'd need to buy an extra Gold code or whatever. And the Single Player content is nonexistant/repetitive.
It's with bi-linear filtering enabled. I wish it had 2xAA
. I'm staying away from the Vita version. I'm satisfied now with R4 PSOne and RR PSP!I'll be posting more from time to time. Really liking the upload site minus. So easy with the iPhone + minus + m.neogaf!

A straight trade for a system you don't use sounds like a no-brainer to me. I guess my only concern would be that dent in the corner. Did the Vita suffer a serious drop to get that kind of dent? If so could something else be wrong with it? I dunno, it's a tough call. On one hand I say do it, but on the other hand I agree with Derrick01 about people not taking care of their stuff.

Yeah, if you want a nice meaty racing game, go with PSP RR and PSone R4. I enjoyed getting all the trophies for RR Vita but at the same time it was depressing because the game could have been so much more. The best single player content in that game occurs when you unlock the "Devil's Gift". And even then, since the game lacks any single player progression/structure, it will feel like a HUGE difficulty spike unless you've played the older titles.

Yeah, I feel the same way.
Like him, I don't buy used systems. But.. this is a pretty good trade. And since he's shipping first, I'll have the system in hand for a day before I ship out my 360, so I can mess with it and get some hands on time with it. If I'm not satisfied, I can always send it back.
That, and it should still be covered under the warranty for anything non-cosmetic.
I remember having an awesome time with RR Revolution. Is R4 the best Ridge Racer?

Didn't know if I was being stupid or anything, but is there any kind of way to stretch the PS1 images?

Touch the screen and hold it for a few seconds. Settings should pop up and you should be able to mess about with them!
You can charge a Vita off a PC/laptop USB (2 or 3) ports. Vita's battery indicator won't show the charging-in-progress icon, but the battery level will increase slowly.

I'll bite for that price. Heard bad things, but the game looks fun.

That's about what I'd pay. I didn't enjoy it much but there's surely $12 of enjoyment in there for someone.
Did you try calling NetFlx or Sony help desk ?
I watched a few movies from Vita NetFlix. No issue so far.

In my opinion, Rage Racer is the best one. I just loved the track designs/music/career in that game the most. Wish it was on PSN...
But yeah, R4 is a very close second and the controls in the game feel really good. Collecting the cars is addictive too. You have to place at a lower position (while still qualifying) in certain races to be awarded different cars and the dialogue in the cut scenes changes when you do this. It's pretty cool.
No, I haven't. People have tried with no good results, but it really is a no-brainer to at least give it a shot. I'll try calling tomorrow.

I know! The sense of speed is one thing that is missing. The gameplay is tight though. I ended up importing the EU version of RR2. Takes Ridge Racers and perfects it even more.

Oh, Cecil, can you use Treasure Park now? I want to make sure it's all good before I send you that sheet I owe you.
Even if they can't solve your problem, they'd at least have it on record that some are not able to use it.
The Grim Heaper

I don't know if anyone was planning to send me any treasure sheets now but please wait until daytime, or I might end up having to delete them all again
Oh, but I just sent you about 5 of them...
oh, dammit...

oh i uhhhh google docs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amgg-_uFluNadDF5Sm9NM3pMQXZfbHRkMzQyR05HMVE#gid=0
Hah, just kidding! I didn't send you any! Don't play that "no, not really" game with me!
Then I believe you should be good... I'm not great with warranty stuff. ):
In that case, I think you should be good. Is the guy sending you his original receipt?

Not sure about other regions, but I know it's available on the Vita in EU and NA, at least.Hello, want to ask, do all of u guys buy mgs 1 from ps3 and transfer it to vita to play it?
Since i did not found mgs at the store?
If it does, sucks for psvita only owners
Then I'll send one your way!
EDIT: Almost out of 10 daily sheets already. -_-
