Support NeoGAF

[newsguy]

Thanks for the heads up.

Still waiting on Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Hot Shots to get release delivery as well. I may just cancel those and get them on PSN. I know Hot Shots will be there day one, not so sure about UMvC.

I pre ordered hot shots with super saver shipping and it ships the 15th.

Curious to know whether it is going to support media server functionality. I extensively use the free PS3 Media server to stream and watch .mkv files on PS3.

Hadn't even considered that. I'd guess no (just the pessimist in me maybe?) but that would be awesome.

I like to utilize PSMS also.

I know this is a US launch thread but still.

SCEE seems to be putting a lot of effort into their marketing for PSVita right now. Their "Vita Rooms" are travelling the country and it seems they have some BIG names there - big football players, a top DJ and even Amir Kahn were there on just the first night. They've got people there with lots of twitter followers to tweet about it too. Seems they're putting a lot of effort in to get the word out on it.

Mark Cueto tweeted about it too earlier, was surprised.

WTF? Australia is getting Gravity Rush as a launch game?
http://www.ign.com/articles/1216458
Why the hell don't we get it SCEA?

AU Vita launch delayed, confirmed?

Spoiler

I know people want it now, but I don't think it'll hurt Gravity Daze launching slightly later.

I don't like that Sony internally is confusing these different forms of multiplayer. The ad-hoc/infrastructure distinction was not only infuriating (because online was often missing), but really user-unfriendly too. Who the fuck knows what "infrastructure" means outside an IT department?

Ad-Hoc is still an important feature for a handheld. There are lots of situations where you don't have broadband and might want some multiplayer (backseat of a car, subway, etc). But I'm saying it now: AdHoc-Only does not count. It wasn't acceptable in 2005 and it's just embarrassing now. Adding 3G to the discussion only complicates the issue.

Sony really needed to solve this at the SDK-level. Make wifi-vs-adhoc transparent to the developer.

Isn't ad-hoc still the most used mode for MH PSP land?

Yeah, but it's Japan. They live and breathe it.

I've seen like 5 people playing PSP "in real life" since it launched.

Holy shit! ... Now Sony just needs to update GOW HD collection.
The stuff I would do to get MGS 1-3 on Vita.

 

[Community Forum]

Wish the starter kit had the case the first edition comes with. As such, I'm probably keeping my first edition preorder, just because of the case.

All of the pics aren't at the Vita's normal resolution. I think it's a typo.

So, that's explains why the first screens where not full-ress 720p...

Yeah, same.

What? I know MGSW was released on PSP/ PS3 via HD pack .... are they releasing the HD pack for vita?! Or are we talking about GOW?

I'm so lost :<

Vita is confirmed getting the MGS and ZOE packs.

Actually, yes, they are releasing it for Vita.

Well dang. This just makes my day!
Now we just need a western release for MonHun 3G (or whatever the third's mobile version is called), and 2012 would be the greatest year for gaming.

 

[RussellXV]

Why is the Starter Kit $39.99 at Amazon? I thought it was going to be $29.99.

It was always $40.

Eurogamer made the same mistake last time they put screenshots up. It's not on Vita

 

[darkside31337]

Always been that price.

There is another product called the PS Vita Starter Kit (by Maxwise Productions according to GS) that is $24.99, maybe that was what you were thinking of?

I think the logo for this was listed in some insert for the Vita wasn't it?

Maybe it was $29.99 at GameStop.

Nope, always been that price at gamestop also.

Awesome, thanks!

 

[Deadstar]

Ha, too many cases indeed. To my eyes the one that comes with the starter kit looks the best. It looks like it is completely enclosed. Can anyone verify that? I'm thinking of getting the starter kit even though I'm buying a 32 gig stick just to have the case, headphones, protective sleeve and game case.

 

[RussellXV]

Vita can be charged through USB, right? Is a USB cable included in the box?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Yes, there is cable in the box. But this a proprietary cable. USB on one end and a special Vita connection on the other.

 

[BeEatNU]

yes, you need to enable the option.

yes, it comes with a usb cable.

 

[Chocoboko]

Are we not getting the colored game cases like they have in Japan? I kinda wanted that blue one.

 

[RussellXV]

Yes, there is cable in the box. But this a proprietary cable. USB on one end and a special Vita connection on the other.

Oh, good. Didn't want to spend $15 for the cable.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Oh, good. Didn't want to spend $15 for the cable.

I picked an extra cable do I can have it plugged into the cradle and AC adapter. That way I can use the one included in the box with the PS3 and have to bother detaching the other cable everytime I sync up.

Those look nice. I already own the Sony MDR-EX300. But no mic.

If they're quality. I'll pickup a pair.

Not sure, never used a Go. It wasn't using a mini-USB port like the PSP thousand models?
