Neat UI.
Downloaded and played Tekken 6 for about an hour then uninstalled it. Right now I have Maverick Hunter X and Gravity Rush installed. Will play those then Uncharted and finally Disgaea.
Uninstalled because you didn't like it or because you don't have enough room on your card? IIRC you can backup games to your pc via the USB cable, so if you're just running out of room you can back that up instead of deleting and having to redownload everything.
I'm of roughly the same opinion. I like the Vita hardware quite a bit, as it's easy to hold, the screen is vivid (if a bit blue) and for as little space as Sony had the thumbsticks work well. As a travel-gamer I'd normally strive for something more portable and with better battery life, but the only modern alternative would be the 3DS, which thanks to that damned 3D screen has even worse battery life than the Vita.I like my vita just fine. And, in fact, hardware wise, I like it much better than my 3ds.
Now, game wise? Not so much. I do own around 4 games for it, plus I bought some psp games off the psn that work on it too. And, I like all the ones that I do own (but I have strange taste...really liking games that other people can't stand). But, if/until they get a more robust library, I can't really recommend it.
sony needs to reboot/relaunch the device. probably going to happen with the ps4; the device has lots of potential, but it seems like reception is lackluster. i'm sure if they dropped down the price of momemory things would be reasonable.
The Vita started selling quite well in Japan after they dropped the price. It actually beat the 3DS for the first time ever (including the Vita's launch week) after that! Although, last I heard, Sony wasn't planning on a price drop anywhere else.
I think it would be interesting if they'd consider a bundle deal where you could get a $50 mail-in rebate if you purchase a PS4 and a Vita within 30 days of each other (or something like that). Sony's been pushing the interoperability between the two, and I think that would really help to seal the deal with getting people to buy a Vita. At that point, you just have us poor early adopters who paid MSRP.
Indeed. Furthermore since Sony gets a piece of all software sales, they can afford to lose a bit more on the hardware if they're making it up in software sales. As weak as the Vita's software sales are here, that's not something they could pull off.I think the reason the Japan price drop worked so well, and the reason they haven't dropped it anywhere else yet, is because they had software to go along with it. When they dropped the price in Japan, Phantasy Star Online 2 was coming out the next week, and Soul Sacrifice the week after that. The combination of hardware and software allowed for the success they saw then (and are still seeing right now).

I think they're either waiting to get some compelling software out in other regions (at the very least, having Soul Sacrifice release) to drop the prices everywhere else, or just waiting until E3 when they'll get the most coverage of the drop.
I got mine on BF for the Ass Creed bundle.
Those Memory Cards....dear lord. Will never upgrade from my 4GB one until they drop in price.

The latest Vita firmware added folder support for the main screen. All I can say is... thank goodness! I was able to put all that lame Vita software into an aptly titled folder... "Lame Vita Software"!
Anyone know of a way to play PSP games that are not on the PSN on your Vita? I have some that are UMD backed up to PC and wondering if perchance there's a way...
It requires a PSP mode kernel exploit. Which in turn requires a Vita on 2.02 or earlier. An up-to-date Vita (2.10) is not exploitable.Anyone know of a way to play PSP games that are not on the PSN on your Vita? I have some that are UMD backed up to PC and wondering if perchance there's a way...
I like mine, although I don't do FPS games, but mainly RPG's. Lots of RPG on PSN if you like that genre.
