Verge-style picture of a gadget with books in the background:
:O
But I don't own them unfortunately, they were from the library.
I will, someday...
(I took this photo several weeks ago)
I used to love the TV show and when I learned that it was butchered, I read the original Tokyopop series from the library, and fell in love with the series all over again. I wish the books were bound better, but it's great to have the series in four hardcovers. Love my magical-stuff-in-urban-Japanese-cities series.:O

I use the Bluetooth beats by dre. Never had any problems with pairing or performance with Bluetooth on the vita.
Same here! I never read the Tokyopop releases, but these Dark Horse omnibuses are great. I rarely buy manga but this time I seriously want them. The full-colour art pages... *drool*

This series looks interesting. There's four of those books? And it's a complete series?
Treasures of Montezuma just glitched on me.
Every time I hit "play," it thought I had been gone for a day and gave me an extra life and 300 jewels.
Now I have ~40 lives and 15-20k more jewels than I did (strangely enough, it kept doing this even after I exited and restarted the game).

I play the game every night before going to bed and I got the exact same glitch yesterday. Handily beat that jerk who took my #1 spot on the leaderboard.

Highest I got is 22 million in the game. Trying to keep everyone in their place in TOM. That game is mine in my area. Nobody gonna take my no 1 slot from me. All those jerks and skeezers and scallywags need to know their place. When I come a knockin and take that gold medal for the 12th time in a row.

So...August is fast approaching and not even a rumor or rumbling of the PS1 support patch being released.
...
You suck, Sony. You really, really suck.

Yeah, I encountered that just now myself. Here's hoping it stays and they don't fix it. >_> (though I guess it messes with leaderboards)

I'd love to get a decal for my Vita. I thought the persona 4 decal in Japan looked awesome. This looks cool, too.

That's also going to have to wait until after the Summer of Arcade. I wouldn't be too surprised if Jet Set and Retro City launched simultaneously.
You must have maligned the Sony overlords

When Microsoft decides it wants to. At least until Summer of Arcade is finished
. Same reason for no Jet set Radio.Damn simultaneous releases..
Try holding it for 20-ish seconds. Maybe you can get to the Recovery menu.
And why is Takao banned again?
I think I read earlier something about talking smack in a Theatrythm thread.
Something has gone wrong with my Montezumas Blitz. Yesterday for some reason every time I touched 'Play' it credited me with 1 heart and 300 crystals for being away for a day. Then if I selected Cancel and pressed Play again it would give me another heart and 300 crystals. It would work about 5-6 times in a row then the game would play. After the round it would do the same again.
Today when I went to play it did the same, only this time it says I've been away for two days so it gives me 2 Hearts and 600 crystals, I can accumulate around 3000 crystals on the title screen before starting a round.
Also, keep in mind, that because I've 'been away', each round I play I get double XP too, so I've been leveling up quite fast (Was about level 65 yesterday when I discovered this problem).
Hear is an image, note the heart count (Crystals aren't too much as I've spending them will nilly on renting the power ups).

I just went from an 8gb to a 32gb memory card, and it was the worst experience of my life.
Is there any way to not lose your trophy information, near information, icon positioning, etc? I also wanted to keep the 8gb around for PSP games or something but switching cards is such a ridiculous ordeal that I don't think I'll be able to do that. After formatting the 8gb memory card and putting it back in, my Vita still populated with random icons everywhere.
I had to boot up every one of my 9 games, start them up (getting first time played messages for each of them) and sync trophies to populate my empty trophy list. Army of Darkness and Katamari disappeared completely until I put the games back in, so it seems like different games react differently.
Did I do something wrong or is this just how it goes? It's amazingly incompetent.

There was a glitch with 1.50 when it hit europe if you was away for a couple days it would say you've been away for 300+ daysand you would get like 100k in crystals i think i managed to rank up 700k before i accidentally updated when i wasnt watching what i was doing
That's how it rolls. ^_^
It looks like these info are stored in Vita itself instead of the memcard. So when you restore the defaults and switch card, they are lost. Hopefully a future release keeps them on the memcard instead.
However for trophy info, you'll still likely lose them (if you didn't sync with PSN server) since only the latest 100 are cached on Vita.
Easiest way for Sony to fix is probably to implement PS+ for Vita.
*nod* *nod* It may be a good thing if he has something to stand up for, but probably not like this. ^_^

Is there some kind of a release list for upcoming Vita games somewhere? I'm in for some new games.
Quite looking forward to that. Hopefully, it doesn't take anywhwere near as long to reach the US after release, as the console version did...
You won't lose trophy-, near-, settings-information (persisted into internal memory) when switching cards, unless you do a factory reset. But a factory reset is unnecessary for card switching related to just one account.
Trophies sync to your PSN account if you're logged into PSN and they also stay inside the internal flash memory, so they stay persisted.
Only some (not all! - see later) icon placements will be destroyed and also your wallpaper placement, but you can prevent wallpaper deallocation if you place them in the following structure:
- always place at least one "system related" bubble (e.g. welcome park, settings, trophies, friends, party, group messaging, etc. basically everything that stays persisted) on one of your screens, that you have a wallpaper on and always do this sequentially; never have a screen with just system independent bubbles (games/apps)
- game bubbles that belong to a Vita game card, count as "system related" bubbles
- the positions of those system related bubbles will be saved, but not the ones of the system independent
- system independent bubbles will automatically be rearranged in this fashion when switching cards:
- if there's a Vita game card plugged in and its bubble wasn't formerly been placed onto the bubble grid of the memory card, create a new page for its bubble and continue with step 3; else assign it to its persisted bubble
- if there are less than 10 pages, create a new page; else continue with step 6
- fill the newly created page with system independent bubbles
- the order of bubbles is determined by their PCSB/PCSF/PCSI/etc. codes and if it's a Vita (first) or PSP/Mini game (later)
- continue creating new pages and filling them with bubbles until it reaches the end of page 10
- start from page 1 and fill empty spaces with bubbles, order is their PCSB/PCSF/PCSI/etc. codes and if it's a Vita (first) or PSP/Mini game (later)
So the consequences are:
If you want to keep every wallpaper when switching memory cards, place a system related bubble onto it.
If you want to keep the order of your system independent bubbles, you are basically screwed, UNLESS:
- you have your games physically on a Vita card, then these bubbles will keep their position
- you only want to have some "basic" bubble structure (e.g. "games should always go below everything" or "games should always go on the first screens, then the rest"), then place some system related bubbles in a way that your system independent bubbles will be "forced" into that structure.
It's not very comfortable, but it's the only way I know.

Where is the cancel button? I don't see one.
If I understand it correctly...
I don't have to reset the hardware when switching card with the same account.
However, if I want to switch to another say, Japan account owned by me, I will have to reset the hardware. I will hit the same problems he mentioned.
As for wallpaper settings, you'll lose them when you pull out the memcard, even without switching account. To prevent this, put one default/system bubble per screen, the wallpapers should all remain intact. This trick won't work if you switch to a different account though.

hmm interesting, don't really have much intention to remove the mem card, but I guess I'll do this
The cancel button appears after you've hit play. Its going to be on the right hand side.
Yeah, let me know how it works out. I dropped my Vita twice. The first time, I lost all my wallpaper settings. The second time, I noticed that all those wallpaper'ed screens with a system/default bubble survived the drop. At the same time, all the downloaded bubbles got shuffled to the end of the Home screens. These last few screens had no wallpaper because they were created to accommodate the downloaded bubbles, after restoring to default settings temporarily.
Left hand side. Might say 'Close' instead. Ether either, same thing.
