Oh yea Vita is charged for some Mutant Blobs and SF vs Tekken.
iPhone is charged for Fairway Solitaire and Kingdom Rush
3DS has been sitting on the charging cradle unused for weeks, so that's always ready.

Yep, I've got everything charged/charging. Got SFxT and Retro City Rampage last night for some extra entertainment. I'm in MD near DC so we're not getting the worst of Sandy, but could still easily lose power. Of course, stay safe all who are/will be affected.
 
So what are the best games on the Vita? I picked up one of the Target discounted 3g models.

Mortal Kombat has some low-poly/res character models, but runs at a smooth 60 FPS and you can get it for dirt cheap ($10-$15) and it's packed with a crap ton of content. One of the best values on the system.
 
Take care Vitabros who have this hurricane heading for them.
Word. Stay safe, guys :)

Well that really depends on what type of games you like. :P

Personally I'd recommend Rayman Origins. It looks stunning on the OLED. Gravity Rush is a cool exclusive. Sound Shapes is a nice PSN downloadable. I've heard good things about Uncharted : GA and Unit 13 too. Congrats on your 3G model :)

Or - yes! Use Tamaster's thread! #plug
 
As close to top of page as possible BUY ZERO ESCAPE: VIRTUE'S LAST REWARD

I'll be rocking back and forth until November 7th. Amazon.com --> Canada = Pain.

Also, YES! I was praying Cave Story would come to Vita. I'm so glad I resisted buying it on the 3ds. I own it on Steam but would rather play on a handheld.
 
Grr, I want to buy ACIII:L, NF:MW & Ragnarok to get the 20$ refund but i don't know when i will have the time to play those, i got hooked on PSP games, finished Metal Gear Acid 1 and jumped to No`2 now, which look awesome on the Vita.

Cannot believe how much fun is playing PSP games on the Vita.
 
GF left open the living room window while it was raining when she was at the gym.

Vita was under the window on a table charging....

Vita is fucking soaked along with my games and my old phone I was about to sell.


Leaving it all in a gigantic bag of rice for a week and hoping they will be ok, such a bummer.

Holy shi- Well that explains that then. Sorry to hear it. :(

Hopefully your Vita is in good shape, then maybe you can give us those pictures.

OR ELSE >:)

Oh my goodness man. That's insane.
 
I got bored of waiting for the PSN store to put up WRC3 so I bought the retail version. Only played it briefly so far but I'm pretty peeved that the 'career' mode is missing. Only single stage, single rally or championship. No 'road to glory' or whatever it's called. Grrrr. A total absence of reviews ought to have been telling, I guess.

Can you take some screenshots to share here? ta.

Besides no career, is it good rally racing?

I'm at work at the mo but I can try and sort that when I get home. It's the PS Button & Start to take a shot, isn't it?

The game ain't great looking to be honest. Maybe my standards are too high though. The handling seems fine from my brief blast through a couple of stages, although I'm peeved that you seemingly can't remap the controls (R - accel, L - brake, X - handbrake). I'd rather use face buttons for accel / brake and have the handbrake on R. Graphics and sound are underwhelming, the car selection is underwhelming, career structure is underwhelming. It's underwhelming basically. Wait for a sale unless you're mad keen on WRC.
 
^ Same boat here. I'm so tempted to buy a second hand DS and 999 just so I can justify VLR :(

The painful lesson we have all learned this week is that capturing screens on the Vita while at work is HARD.

:lol:

Didn't some other Vitabro's girlfriend smash their Vita or something?

Both games are definitely worth it.
Shouldn't have to purchase a second-hand DS, though... don't we all have a friend or two with a DS collecting dust in their closet?

Clearly the true lesson is that girlfriends should never be allowed near a vita
If any of you are in Canada, the true true lesson is to pick up a White PSVITA along with AC3: Liberation and a 4GB memory card from BestBuy.ca for $199.
A 2nd Vita means you can have one for the girlfriend with no risk to your primary system.
 
Is there any way for me to get the shots off the Vita without my USB cable?

Sorry for the daft question, I've never needed to do it before.

I discovered a convoluted way of doing it, upload the pictures to Facebook within your Vita then download them back down from Facebook on your PC before hosting them (or maybe you can host from FB, not sure). For some reason my Mac has never liked being connected to the Vita so I had to do it.

Oh, hadn't though of Flickr either

Indeed it is ps button + start for screenshots.

Thanks for the impressions, I was just about to order it myself - but I think i'll save the 28 pounds for something else then...
 
When are retail Vita sales kicking off? Any big box or online retailer have any sales going on atm?
Just Best Buy Canada right now (the deal I mentioned just a few posts ago).
This is more of a hardware thread question, though.
I got away with referencing it in here due to the inclusion of a game in said bundle.
 
Cheers chaps!

Hopefully these'll show up:

I honestly would. Most Wanted?
 
Do you have a 3G Vita?
What if you have no power on Tuesday?
I freaked out about this last night and pulled the trigger on digital copies of UMvC3 and Lumines to make sure I hit my $100 for October, should I lose power today and it not be restored til Thursday...
No 3G Vita and that's why I'm kinda freaking out. I'm trying to do the $100 get $20 back deal but if the power goes out it'll make things very tricky. If I have to, I'll ask my friend(who's in California) to log onto PSN and buy Liberation + a PS1/PSP game for me. That way I at least get the rebate.
 
Time to find a new girlfriend.

She has an amazing ability to break things.

Ceiling fan.

Knocked over my hdtv leaving a giant line of pixels stuck on yellow flashing.

Two remotes.

360 controller

Hinge on my DS

Shower curtain

closet door knob

Chain lock on our door

Window screen.

I'm sure there's more she is just forgetful and clumsy as fuck.

I imagine your expression when she breaks things being like that of your avatar.
