Actually all I would have to do is create a save on my second playthrough once I have all the books, then read them all, get the trophy and reload back before my binge reading. Genius, I know.
Edit:
Wow, what a jerk thing to do. Luckily I did basketball the first time, so getting this will be easier on the second playthrough.

More free games? I'd be happy to be embassadored. I've been waiting for my compensation since the first insane Vita sale. I couldn't even get a 32gb card at work, and now for 3000 yen more than I originally paid I can get the same console, plus a card and other extras (in Japan). Consider me a lifelong enemy of Sony until the release a 64gb card.
She probably takes his Subway sandwich every day too.
Hey, is there any app that uses the Vita back for a precision touch feature?* I miss that the browser won't scroll using the sticks. And if they moved scrolling to the sticks, that would free up the back pad for precision touch. That would also come in handy when trying to do things like selecting a pinpoint location on a detailed overland map.
*Touch and hold the pad. The app indicates where on screen you are pointing and could even highlight a selectable item. Slide to desired location and release; it then counts as a tap at that point. Can add features like reducing the pixels per inch while sliding (requires special treatment near edge of screen).

Well i'm expecting at least some PSN sales and additional free PSN+ game.
I'm hoping for some vita games to actually get announced. Rumor is there are lots that are unannounced, then there are the many that have either been in developer hell (warrior's lair), publisher hell (dragon's crown), or just fallen off the map (Rachet & Clank FFA Vita).
Some of these games could get announced and end up getting released early to mid summer, the PS4 will get announced, then we'll see it at E3, and then we'll still have to wait until October at the earliest just to play the games that will be available right away at launch. And all the stuff that really interests me will be released within the next year.
So Sony, we need some vita love..... preferably, before E3. After Sly on Tuesday, SS comes in April, KZ:M in September, and besides that I can't think of many major releases.
That was for Muramasa.
Dragon's Crown isn't really in publisher hell. When Atlus took over they explained quite clearly that the game was barely in production when they showed off the trailer for it... that it had a long way to go and that it was getting bigger on scale quickly. Which is why they couldn't sell it for $30 and why it would be until 2013 before we would get it. I mean Japan doesn't have a release date either... games take time to make
ULTROS!

I do wonder if there's a YOPO deal or at least a unified trophy system (kinda like RCR).
Edit: Is there a list of games (and potential games) that have a unified trophy system (like RCR's trophy system)?

lol, true. I trust Atlus. I'm more refering to overall situations, because i think the game got dropped by 1 or 2 japanese publishers or just 1 and turned down by a couple before Atlus came around. I think that game would be in a better place if all that hubabaloo didn't happen, but then again i really like Atlus' localizations so they did end up like best case scenario.

The only thing i don't like about Atlus is their lack of EU subsidiary

Finally managed to get the last trophy on Escape Vektor. Reaching level 25 in the end wasn't too bad once I realised what you needed to do (reach a total score of 800 million points). Now I just need to decide which Vita game to play through next while I wait for Persona 4 to arrive...
You obviously liked it to play it that much. How good was/is the game?
Nope.

Its great, well worth the £7 it cost me that's for sure. I played it solidly for the last week or so whenever I had a spare moment.
It feels very much like Pacman with shades of Tron. The early maps are fairly simple and a few of the ones in the middle were fairly tough (as I was going for the no detonation trophy at the time so couldn't use bombs to destroy any enemies). Working out the best routes through those levels took quite a bit of trial and error! It was damn satisfying when I did clear the levels though.
The games pace and my gameplan completely changed when I unlocked the boostinate powerup though, as that makes you invincible for short periods of time so I was able to tackle levels in a completely different manner (and the levels that really made use of this powerup were pretty crazy). Well worth picking up if your looking for something different.

Fred (from PS EU blog) had this to mention about RO:
It's either coming this week or next week?!
Exactly, I really ought to play it instead of speculating based on a gameplay video and impressions of other people Mind is set now, eventually the game will be bought.
This is going to be purely based on not playing the game yet, but I don't think the game's merit is having the challenge in catching fish, the challenge is catching as much as possible and as heavy as possible. That's usually how arcade games are (like Sega Bass Fishing) where the controls are simple and the game is easy to get into, but it's competing in a highscore based system and beating your best times is what makes the game fun? Also with what BlueMaxima showed of the tournament mode, there are higher difficulty challenges, maybe you can make mistakes more easily on there? Can you go more deeply into touch controls and physical controls? I'm guessing most people prefer physical controls, but how are the touch controls handled? And you mentioned bugs and glitches, are they that bad and distracting?
It's one of those very relaxing games where you can spend only a couple of minutes and not having to pay attention as with more demanding games. This kind of focus is easily not to everyone's taste which is why it's so easy to have some people thinking the game is shit. And that's fine, it doesn't mean those people are wrong.

I dunno, NISA seems to love Compile Heart's recent output, and Aksys did their Agarest War series. As long as it doesn't bomb, I expect it has a decent shot.

Glad I read this as I've been so close to importing RO a few times over the last week. I'll wait it out a little longer and see what the news is.

Hold up--you can use an iPad (or Pod?) charger for your Vita?
I use an HTC 3-pin to USB adapter, that works fine as well. I think as long as it provides enough juice it should work.
to be fair though all signs point towards mugen souls (a compile heart game) selling like utter crap for nisa... i mean it's the first nisa store only LE that didn't sell out near or before the release date... last i checked they still had 50% stock of it what... 6 months later now. So they very well may have soured a bit on compile heart, it's hard to tell.
Bought a new Vita to replace the stolen one, this time white. Looks cool. Ended up depressing myself because Persona 4 Golden release is 20th in European PSN store...
Edit:
I use this to charge it sometimes. Good for most devices.

Persona 4 Golden is the future of PlayStation?
I'm having fun with Dokuro. I'm currently at chapter 7. I've skipped 6 stages so far, mainly the boss battles (not fond of boss battles). I was wondering: if you skip a stage and go back and solve the skipped stage, do you regain one skip option? Or are they forever gone?
Anyway, it's a fun game and recommended if you like puzzle games. It's charming, it's varied, it controls nicely, has nice music + sound and some great puzzles. It even has some platforming going on at times. The passion from the game makers really shines through in this one. At lot of care and attention has went into this. I just wish it wasn't so grey...

no, the cabling is wrong. The only way I could get mine to charge from a USB charger/battery pack is to use a Galaxy Tab adapter which switches the pins around inside.
Don't Toto this.
Dragon's Crown was never shopped around. Atlus acquired it from Ignition (its initial publisher).

Yeah. I do it every day, I don't even know where my Vita charger is! I'm pretty sure it's an iPad charger, though. Not iphone. If that makes a difference.

Has Sony ever acknowledged the problem with the 100 icon or 10 only page limit on the vitas home screen? Seems like a dumb thing to have on a digital heavy console.
Well, I haven't played the other ones at all, I just want something for my Vita that is new and proven to be worthy. I am bummed out that I lost all my saves with the old one and have no energy to start all over again with all of my games.
I do have Ni no kuni to keep my company.
It's faster that way. Because here on Hard Flying Swallowing them is a crap shoot. Either miss them (due to the sticks here) or hit them only for them to block it. RAGE.

Whoa, I'm really impressed by the clean image in Little Big Planet Vita. Seems to be running at the native resolution and with a very good AA method that makes it looking stunning.
Which other games has this kind of IQ? I've tried Sega All Stars Racing, Gravity Daze and the Sly demo, and there's plenty of aliasing in all of them.
Is Persona 4 Golden also blessed with AA + native res? Which other?

Virtua tennis and ninja gained are both that
PSN store on ps3 is lol worthy sometimes..
I was at a friends house, and showing him how the store works. When we saw GTA Vice City. It said "PS3 / PS Vita." .. lol.. it is listed on the ps3 store as a Vita compatible game, not the store on the PC, there it isn´t listed as a Vita game.

LBP is sub native with AA.
Gravity Rush and Persona 4 are sub native without AA.
Sonic Racing is native without AA.
Persona 4 not being native is one of the biggest downers of the year for me. It looks good, but it could look fantastic if they put the effort into it.

So, basically from an IQ point of view, LBP is the best looking game on the system besides Virtua Tennis?
A shame that P4 has no AA, what the hell... the game isn't even that demanding, I think.
What about the Metal Gear Solid collection?
So does NGS+ but that still looks very clean.
LBP is definitely sub-native. It looks good thanks to the AA but the IQ not as clean as it would be if it was native res.
Toto, are you being bullied at work?

I wonder if P4G was limited by Cart size. Really hope that doesn't become an issue down the road. Why can't they allow bigger game carts?
Based on early impressions Killzone is the new graphics king of the Vita.

Hi guys. I've looked around but couldn't find an answer: is there any good way to read/save FAQs/walkthroughs on Vita?
Typically, I'd like to be able to access a persona 4 FAQ even when I'm offline and whatever is open in the web browser tends to go away after some time?
