It's in content manager, in the same place you upload saves to the cloud. Click the little "i" bubble at the right hand side.
However, it seems to be glitched at the moment.q

Seriously go with 32gb, it'll save you a headache in the future, I went with 16gb and am now having to upgrade to 32gb.
I just have a 4GB card as i buy most of the games at retail so no,look around for some deals if you can find 'em or else prepare to go through the 'backup'.
Yeah if you scroll up or down much, they all get deselected, and once you've uploaded and gone back in, they're all deselected again. Just have to do it manually until a fix I guess!

Sony pulled the same bullshit with "The PS3 can't do backwards compatibility because we removed the <legacy part> to save costs".
A couple years down the road? "Hey, buy these PS2 classics!"
But I thought you didn't like Labrys.(Thanks!)
The DLC isn't mind blowing, but they're silly side stories of Kat usually doing stuff in Hekseville at different points in the game and giving her an excuse to dress up. I liked them cause they kinda follow the idea for the Gravity Days comic, which is basically Kat doing regular stuff around town as well as helping people out.
Well, your avatar is the first time I've seen her with her visor down, and I think that's something of an improvement at least. I'd rather she was full on sci-fi or full-on imitation human, rather than straddling awkwardly between the two. Besides that... Well, Soejima's art, Persona, Christmas... Even the aspects of Persona that I don't care for are still Persona. I guess I probably exaggerate my opinions and 'shoot from the hip' when talking on the Internet, because it makes for more interesting conversation.
Anywho, I'll probably buy the Spy DLC and go from there. If I like it, I'll get the others, if not, at least I get a neat costume out of it.
EDIT: As an aside, that comic is really impressive.
I was going to say, at a fiver people will take a punt. Shame they never sorted the framerate out or got online done like they claimed they were looking at.
Bend never said they were looking at it to be fair, the Modnation team did. however they also explained why it was omitted, a tiny tiny tiny amount of people used online in the last one.
You'll be happy with 16Gb for a while. You might have to juggle a bit if you put some music or video on there or if you need to put all your games on it. But if you can get your money back then just plump for the 32gb and join us.
No, the Vita cannot emulate the PS2. It's less powerful than the PS3 and the PS3 can;t do it on like 98% of the library at this time.
The ONLY way you'll get PS2 games on the Vita is if they are remastered like MGS HD were, or if you play on Gaikai when Sony launch it, probably with the PS4.
PS2 emulation on the Vita isn't a pipe dream, it's an impossibility.
Yeah, look at that massive library of classic PS2 games you can play 5 years after the PS3 launched. It's tiny. The Vita isn't close to having the power to do it without remastering or Gaikai.
If you care a lot about PS+ then go for it,would save you some headache in the future.
They do saved costs when they removed the EE+GS chips, also they needed to work on the emulator.
and the emulated PS2 games are not ideal and only few games are available, the EE+GS BC PS3s run the PS2 games way better.
Thing is PS3's Cell/RSX was powerful enough to handle PS2 emulated games, Vita on the other hand..well I doubt it will get them ever (unless there is some sort of crazy magic involved)
if you get a 32gb you are going to run out of space eventually, too (well if you buy digitally i guess + PS+)
so it just depends on how many games you want on your vita at once, so thats up to you. i think 8gb is a lil too small for me, since i bougt two games digitally that are like 3 GB each, but if you mainly have psp/psx or smaller vita games, or buy physically its good tho. i think 16gb is the sweet spot, and eventually get 64gb a couple years down the road. 8gb you can live with if you are cheap like me.
4gb not even worth mentioning

Hey Zew!
Probably depends on how much digital content space you need. Lots of guys in this thread have a 32gb and it's nearing full (myself included).
For reference:
JSR: 1107mb
WipEout 2048 (w/ HD/Fury): 2374mb
Gravity Rush: 1460mb
FF Tactics PSP: 195mb
So assuming you use your old PSN ID (and assuming you're the Zew I know), you're looking at ~5gb for those + Uncharted and Mutant Blobs Attack (I've beaten both 100% and removed them from my card so I'm unable to tell you the sizes).
The good news is your 16gb will cover you.
But if you decide you want more games digitally instead of on cards, they add up quick. Most PSOne games run in the 800mb range, more if they're multi disc.
PSP games and PSN games vary. Sine Mora (Vita) is 667mb, Soundshapes was about 990mb, Super Stardust Delta is only 216mb though.
Also remember that the bigger the card, the bigger the gap is between actual usable space and the advertised number. A 32gb card only has 29gb of storage. A 16 is probably 15 or 14.
So yeah, you're good for now with a 16 unless you just want to play it safe and pony up the extra cash now... I don't think memory prices are dropping any time soon though, so your call.

I hope you have -something- in the meantime since the majority of software on the Vita doesn't even function without a memory card. Are you getting a bundle that comes with one?
until then..just buy P4G.
I believe Sony has fucked up.
There were 2 versions of PS All-Stars, one for regular price and the other one for free, both saying Full Game. Grabbed the free one, of course. I'll report back to confirm if it's the full game when it's finished downloading. File size is 1622 MB.
I checked again 2 minutes later and it's gone. Got a screencap though.

Vita is near 1 year old and there are more PS1 compatible games with PSP than with Vita. They are still working out the kinks and getting that to be 100% compatible with what's available. The PSP emulation is not 100% either, there are games available on the psn store that are not playable on vita, and even more so officially supported.
I'm sure if they can get PS2 games playable on vita, they will after they get PS1 and PSP emulation 100% done, they know that's a major feature that literally everyone would want. They just started rolling them out earlier in the year for the PS3 so, if it's feasible to have those ISOs playable on vita, they will get there. Vita got hacked (I think), so maybe those folks can play PS2 ISOs there? Not sure, but people were playing PS1 ISOs on PSP long before Sony supported it.
I would honestly be more interested in HD classics and dreamcast HD games (like JSR) playable on it (but being cross buy), but short of that, remote play should be a priority, I have seen videos where vita was playing RDR, Battlefield 3, etc off hacked PS3s. The consensus was that SOTC and GOW collections were pretty playable with minimal lag and latency, so why not have more games supported there? Maybe they don't have the bandwidth to do that for more games right now.
WHAT.
So jealous!
Well I'm getting the PS3 version too anyway, so they didn't lose a sale on me

Fair enough. :V

I did also forget to mention, all DLC have my favorite use of trophy icons. Get all the trophies, nab a neat picture out of it!
Haha, i love it when they do fuck ups like this. I remember getting one of the GTA PSP games for free thanks to a fuck up.
Wait till you play Resonance of Fate.
(okay so it's not as cute but equal in concept and expanded)
Yeah, it's me. :3Hey Zew!

Yeah, I found a good deal for a 16GB, but I love to consume digital goods, so I really wanted a 32GB. I cancelled the 16, so I'll just hold out for now.
Yeah, I'm buying the AC Vita bundle. I'll have to deal with a 4GB.
Already shipped from Amazon. :3
Speaking of which, that arrived today. Yaaaay!

I LOVE, like, really, really LOVE Assassins Creed 3 Liberation and NeedForSpeed Most Wanted (Vita) -
I haven't touched either, since COD BLOPS: Declassified's release last Tuesday. I haven't even played any PSABR, which I bought yesterday - still keep coming back to....CODBLOP
.And I HATE COD (generally, except the MW1/BLOPs1 campaigns)
Ok, first it greeted me by saying it's missing the online pass. Now it's telling me it's a demo and stuck on a loading screen
Er... Floating loli? How old is Kat meant to be?
I can see it. I have no more space on the mc, but I managed to put it on my download history.
Demo maybe?
EDIT: heh
Don't suppose P4 has arrived for you has it? I was probably overoptimistic to think it could arrive today.
Not even a demo, it says it is but doesn't load. Odd, lol.
Nope. :/
God of War showed up yesterday, and that got posted Tuesday last week, so if P4 takes the same, we might not see it until Friday.
Note: The e-mail app will delete messages from your inbox if you don't already know. Didn't think it did and wanted to clear the apps inbox out and it deleted some of my messages on Gmail as well. So I guess the lesson is to check via app, and delete (if need be) on Gmail itself. Kinda annoying. :/

Any new Vita owners:
In addition to Carl's Mutant Blobs...and ignoring any PS+ selections:
Assassins Creed 3 Liberation is the bees knees. It's really cool to see a solid series, get a solid portable incarnation. Which leads me to.....
...Need For Speed Most Wanted. Full Day and Night cycle, open world, autolog, multiplayer, Criterion developed and beautiful visuals (slightly pared down from PS3/360/PC). What you're getting is a direct port of the console version, but in your hands. Best handheld driving game, with a lot of love poured in.
It helps that the game is super fun, too.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Same here, it's downloading now. Dutch Store.

Wow, that's an awesome little touch. Love it.
Speaking of awesome, I've been playing Uncharted:GA today (PS+) and it's incredible. The Vita might not deliver large scale spectacle like the PS3 Uncharteds but all GA's photo/bounty/rubbing/etc makes you feel more like Nate than ever before. This will be my first Vita platinum!
Everything in this post is correct.
OMG i'm getting it too(hoping it's the full version and not a trial)! Thanks for sharing! XD

Hmm, purchased Sine Mora from the UK store once the pricing was corrected and it appears I'm stuck with the trial version.
How about you guys? : [

I'm sure a decent amount of people would have played it online. The Vita doesn't offer as many competitive games as the six years worth of software on the PS3 does. I surely would have had a fun time online.
I needed to write something fast, no time for fancy elaborations, lol. And in the end, every purchase is also good for Sony and the Vita
Edit:

And people say the Vita has no games. A price drop and included memory card, Sony. Come on, do it.
I'd be tempted to pick up the battery grip if it were available for us. Oh and I thought you might be looking for people on PSN since you asked about the Vitabro list earlier. My PM asking you whether you still got a spot free remained unanswered :'( Currently questioning whether my Vita sent out those PM's. Cant even see them in my outgoing folder on the browser.
Anyone else reading this, I wouldnt mind a few more people on my friends list. Anyone who sort of gets along with what I am writing who'd like another person on his friends list?
PSN ID is in email tag, quote to reveal.
