It's been happening to me more and more lately. At first, I thought it was because of Growlanser IV (as it's been happening most often while I play that game), but it just happened to me last night when I was playing LBP Vita
If you hit the power button on the vita when the intro video starts playing you should be able to skip it and when you turn it back on the lockscreen should be there, worked for me when i formatted my vita at launch after trying out some japanese demos
Every now and then, but Ecolibrium suddenly caused some major problems with lock ups and more, so i've deinstalled it today...

I had the FEB before returning and re-buying recently. My FEB locked up two or three times in the week or two I had it. So far, the one I have now, hasn't shown any signs of hiccuping or the likes.
E: Stupid question time. Charging my Vita. It's almost at full, but I want to play. Bad idea? As in, should I let it charge fully? And how bad is it really to let it sit on the charger for an extended period of time at full (like a few hours)? And can you replace the battery in the Vita ever?

It's good(?) to know that my Vita isn't the only one locking up a lot recently.
I don't think it's a bad idea. If it runs out of juice, it'll go into a sleep mode you can't turn back on so you can charge it and pick up right where you left off. Not sure about that second part. And... not sure again! It seems like it'd be a hassle to get this thing open.

Maybe it is, yeah...I just hate when rechargeable devices lose their ability to charge haha.

There's practically nothing you can do to modern batteries to really damage them. Over time they will lose capacity no matter what, so just use your device as you want to.

Is the LBP question thread?
Can we play online multi? For the second level "Swing-bop Acrobatics", you need two players to complete it. Also, there's a section with some items I can't figure out...It's near the end of that level and it looks like a sticker board with a little flashing up carrot in the corner. I may need to take a screenshot to describe it, because it confuses me. It may be an LBP staple, but this is my first one I've ever dug into.
Also for the very first level, how do you Ace it? You have to use self-destruct per the level requirements I thought?

I have that, too, but doesn't bother me since I wear headphones 95% of the time. And I think that everyone has this "problem"...

The servers will be turned on when the game "officially" releases.

Oh, really? Could someone else confirm that for me? I was actually thinking about sending it in, because I'm pretty anal about that (can't unhear it and all that); but if that's just how it is I wont bother.

My Vita wishlist:
'Souls' Game (Port of Dark or Demon's souls would be acceptable)
First person Fallout Game
Digital prices that are more in line with physical
Can't really think of much else, though I just got the unit. =P

Digital prices are just so high that I doubt I would be getting many Vita games digitally. Of course I'll get some PSP games that I never got to play that way. Maybe if memory cards weren't so damn expensive.
But LBP and P4G seem like the perfect digital games. Does anyone know how large those will be? MGS HD is a bit big for only having only a 4gb memcard.
I actually think an isometric Fallout would be great on the Vita.
And every time I see P4G mentioned I die a little inside.

I noticed that with my headphones on, the main menu music has a crackly part. But I don't notice it with any other music in YouTube or in-game. Maybe it's just the file they're using for the menus is crap lolslaughterking said:

My main hurdle with going all digital right now, is wanting to go digital with P4G, but also wanting that sexy, sexy skin.
This doesn't mean much as I absolutely loved the first few hours of Gravity Rush and absolutely loved Rayman Origins up until I sold it, but I'm absolutely loving LittleBigPlanet despite not liking the first game or the PSP version. The touch features are all rather inventive (except for the level that's controlled entirely with the rear touch pad; who thought that was a good idea?), the music's excellent, the game looks amazing, and it's simply a lot of fun, and that's even without the ability to play community levels or co-op.

I bought Mutant Blobs today. Maybe you've heard of it. It's pretty solid.
More gelatinous than solid, but it's a decent game, yeah

Backing up the memory card backs up the pictures too?
What really gets backed up?

No more Unit 13 or I'd be all over it.
Gravity rush and Resistance went fast, too.

I would absolutely love a Souls type game on Vita, as well as a Fallout game. If it was open world Fallout, with all the exploration and stuff from 3+New Vegas, I'd be in heaven. If they actually support streaming/remote play more it'd be possible to do 3 or NV that way but I doubt it'll happen for games outside of Sony's library.
A lot of people have had their Vita's locking up eh? Mine has only done it a few times.. I wonder if it has anything to do with the card being almost full?
In other news, I got my Sound Shapes double plat! So proud of that. Now I'm working on Army Corps of Hell, though I'm still not sure what I want to plat next. That one just seemed the easiest out of all my current vita games.
It's always game I don't want or already have.
Dammit
Ordered Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Hot Shots Golf, and Wipeout 2048. I don't know how much I'll play Hot Shots Golf, but if I sell it I'll still have saved money on Uncharted.
Got LBP2 today
What does LBP2 have to do with Vita? lol
The Grim Heaper

The Vita can be used as a controller for it
Is that patch even out yet?
I haven't got the game, but previous LBP games have had levels like this and usually if you go back to the level there will be some sort of switch (activated by a sticker probably) that allows you to bypass the suicide section. It'll probably be near the start and use a sticker you unlocked near the level end.

Dont think that comes till later in the year/next year. According to donkey show.
I shut my Vita down since I don't have a reason to keep it on. When I was at home, I put the Vita in sleep mode so it could gather data in its sleep, and I'd turn it on and get any new notifications. Now that I'm in in a dorm, the internet requires signing in via the browser, and the wi-fi connection is lost in sleep mode, so I turn the Vita off as I don't need the battery drain.

Any suggestions for especially good-looking PSX games? I already have Castlevania: SotN, but I'm looking for other 2D gems that I've probably overlooked. I'd maybe consider some 3D games, but I have no nostalgia for the PSX era, so most of what I've seen looks awfully primitive :\
The Grim Heaper
Member
Yeah, I didn't think it was... I thought it'd be pretty big news.
Unfortunately, I don't think PSX games will look much better on Vita. Maybe that's pessimism, though.
Klonoa looks quite good, although the Wii version probably looks better to most people. Tomba also looks nice, although I haven't played it.
Rayman and Alundra look great and both are pretty good games, the last one in particular. Vagrant Story has art direction that's out of this world and still looks amazing even though it's 3D.
Meh, retail. And only two games I really want on there. If they did it digitally and it included a few third parties holy shit I'd splurge
on PSN if Sony did it which they won't because SCEA are morons.

I'm not expecting the Vita to improve the visuals, lol. Just looking for games that look halfway-decent in their own right, or even PSP remakes of those games.

"Blotches"? Are you referring to the artifacts that appear on the display when viewed against a dark background? They're not signs of a defect. They constitute a minor flaw inherent to OLED technology.
