Why do you travel with 2 Vitas?
Cuz he travels like a boss? lol and seriously 3,000,000 steps on the 3DS? Too bad that thing is coin locked at 10 a day :L.
I may be remembering wrong, but I believe his first Vita got stolen.
Edit: Just read how he said he brings a couple of Vitas with him, lol. To each their own!

I segregated my Vita's by region - one is for US games (x2 32gb cards) and the other is for Japanese games (x2 32gb cards).
... .i also usually carry a *cough* special *cough* PSP Go and DS XL.
.... mainly because i jump from game to game and like having an absolute huge library available at any time....
(aka : OCD)
First vita slipped out of my bag somewhere one day - never to be found again.
Someone got an awesome gift if they found it !

I am wondering. Sony had to tweak those PS2 games to come to the PS3. Why the hell they did not tweak them for Vita as well. They should do the same fro PSN games like Journey, Dead Nation, and the rest of PSN games. It seems to me like Sony is really short sighted and honestly, very dumb for not doing this.

This kind of logic harkens back to my thoughts that they should release a PSP emulator for the PS3 so that you could download and play your PSP games there with a PS3 controller. This was thought up (by me at least) when UGnG was put up on PSN store as a digital download and they didn't have it listed as a PSP title on whatever site I'd read the news on. I was absolutely giddy about it and thought it was going to be a PSN port... :\
There are relations you have to check. If A likes B and B likes A you can send them to the church, they will marry, and a child will be born, increasing your population.

Nothing since the dev change news a long time ago. As far as we know the new dev is still working on it...

Quick question about WipEout 2048, I've played through WipEout HD/Fury on my US PS3 account and I grabbed it on my UK account after the Apocalyps3, but never installed or downloaded it.
Are there any advantages if I buy the US version of 2048 or will it just be the same if I buy the UK version? Hate switching accounts and now I'm logged in with the UK one.
Edit: just saw that it was 10£ in UK (Sainsbury) two weeks ago, hope Zavvi will have a price like that soon.

I still think all handheld games should be $19.
i think they should all be free.

I think they should all be good.
I think they should give me money to play the game.

I think I'll pick up a LBP Vita bundle this week and see how I fare with the 4GB card that's included. Now, I'm still not clear on saves and backups, even after reading the FAQ in the OP (thanks!). So thanks for your help in advance.
If the game saves on the cartridge, nothing to worty about, right? Which games do so currently?
If the game (retail or digital) saves to the memory card, I have to back up the whole Vita in order to remove the game and not lose my save? Then what happens if I want to restore it later on? Do I lose everything I've done in the meantime? Can I mix-and-match backups or do partial restores?
What's the difference between backing up to my PS3 or my Mac? Is it true games need to be in "install bubble" form to transfer from PS3 to Vita?

1) Have no idea which games do currently
2) You have to backup the games, which backs up the save too, correct. You don't have to do a full backup - you can back up individual games or any mix or individual games.
3) There is no difference, really, except the obvious that it goes on your PS3 instead of your Mac
Yes games need to be in their "install bubble" form.OmegaTreeFish

If you buy the game on cart and it saves to the mem card then all you still have to back up the game BUT the game bubble will only consist of the save data so it will only be small. If you by digitally then you have to back up the whole data of the game and save.
If you only plan to get physical carts for games then 4 gig is fine as even save data doesnt use much. However some expansion packs might use a lot of space. Again it depends on your plans. 8 gig is best if your cart only.
If your like me and want a mix of digital and retail (i got a few vita games digitally but A lot of psp and games digitally) then 8 gig is doable (as long as you are willing to back up often to pc / ps3) but 16 gig is a lot more comfortable. 32 would be very comfortable but I'm getting by just fine with my 1 gig. Anything digital and have stopped playing I just back up to my lap top and remove from the vita. Still can hold a lot of games on there at once.
I think the backing up process is the same if its to a PC or ps3 but from what I hear to get games from ps3 to vita (as in, if you bought it on your ps3 to transfer over) then you need to transfer the install bubble.

How good does U:GA actually look in the finished game?
I dl'ed the demo the other day and played the burning building chapter, have to say I wasn't too impressed, particle effects in particular looked kinda.. gimpy.

Don't buy P3P from the PSP section.
It's not a looker and the lack of AA hurt it too much, but overall it's a good experience, way better than the awful mess that was Uncharted 3.
U2 >>> U1 >U:GA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> poop>U3.

the problem here is that Fifa 12 was considered rushed and "not quite the console version" because it was seemingly much closer to Fifa 11 than Fifa 12 console versions - impact system, new defense system, dribbling improvements didn't come across.
However, the assumption was that Vita Fifa 13 would add those in - but alas, it sounds like they haven't come across - nor have the improvements in Fifa 13.
Okay - it's a short dev time but the fact the first game was missing stuff and now the next one is a repeat of the first and little more than a roster/kit update is a huge slap in the face.

I personally think it looks really good. The problem with the demo is that its the level with all the fire and the fire is one of the few things that looks crap in that game.
The rest looks really good. I love the graphics on the canoe bits as well. Such a relaxing feel.

Ya I was really impressed with the water in golden abyss
It's a shame really, there was a product descriptions page for FIFA 13 on Sony site saying it will have the same physics engine as the console version, but it just ended to be EA lying as usual.
Short development time should not be issue since it should be a direct port from the PS3/360 version anyway.

Out if interest isn't that false advertising?
That would be incredibly difficult to prove, a physics engine is a tool set, the game could feature the same one, and have completely different results. Unless they literally showed footage from another version and didn't say they hadn't, which was the case for the PS3 footage of FFXIII in the 360 UK ads.
Dunno..but here is the thing
http://us.playstation.com/psvita/games-and-media/psv-ea-sports-fifa-soccer-13.html
and FIFA 13 on Vita (FIFA 11.6) clearly don't use the same technology as the PS3 version, it don't use the physics impact engine or other "data technology" like attack intelligence.
Highly doubt it, EA just don't care, Maybe if Sony involve and help them on the port for the next one ..but otherwise yeah don't hold your breath.

Fixed that for you, vitabuddy.
I was under the impression that a Vita version was set to come out sometime this Fall.

Hoping EA get their shit together for next year. In fact, I hope there is more mainstream media that would pursue this, asking EA to explain.
Alas the media doesn't care for Vita much, so assume that will stay but just a hope
