PS Vita - 299 US Dollars, 299 US Dollars, 299 US Dollars

[Lolthanio]

Went by Taco Bell today just to get the box, unfortunately the code wasn't a winner. And apparently my android phone isn't compatible with their app, so I can't play the game to win one either. ffff

[V]

For that price? No thanks. I'd rather save up and buy a better phone early next year when my contract ends. I don't see the need to be logging around a PSP anymore.

The feature seems pointless anyway, for us and Sony. We have to pay for it again (lowest being $6.), it probably works on a limited number of games since there appears to be no valid way of confirming old PSP.

[Tabarnaco]

it costs money to do it in the first place i guess they didn't think it was worth it

[QUOTE=Zeke129;34559260]You can run custom firmware on any PSP model running any official firmware version at this point. When the PS3 was hacked the PSP signing keys were leaked as well and unlike on the PS3, Sony wasn't able to fix it.

It isn't permanent custom firmware so you have to boot into it each time you start the system up but I like that, less risk of bricking and you can keep both CFW and OFW on the same system.

Looking at their site, seems the Pro-CFW guys have an official firmware check bypass for the Vita already.

I think this thing is going to be fully hacked soon[/QUOTE]

also because I was really tired one night and got my memory cars stuck in a reader and scratched it. I really need to get a new one.

kinda impressive how the vita took two direct blows from a sledgehammer before the 3rd one bursted it into treats.

[Blackfire]

That bit on the glass makes me super excited, that shit's never gonna break. :D

[Ninja Duck]

I'll wait for the PS Vita Slim, I still have my old PSP 1.

That's pretty sturdy, I was originally concerned about the fragility of it.

[LittleFenrir]

So I heard that Gravity Rush won't be a launch title.

Anyone know if this is true?

It's been true, it was never planned for launch. Just launch window.

[pyschomc]

Well I tried the PS Vita, I really really Like the OLED, but it feels so funky thoug.

[meppers]

All of my Vita accessories and games are shipping now.
16gb Memory Card, Uncharted Golden Abyss and Modnation Racers Road Trip. Should be here by the 13th. :dance:

Too bad I'll just get to stare at them for a good week until my Wi-Fi Vita gets in. :suicide:

EDIT: I'm in the process of making a Launch Thread for Vita with all the information I know.

Awesome vid, makes me want one.

[Tuskin]

ANy Canadians out there, if you pre-order the wifi version from Futureshop you get a free 4gb mem card for it.

[Miya]

so how does everyone like the first edition bundle

it's cool i guess

Honestly if they do make a PSV Slim, I really do wonder how much slimmer it can get. Isn't already pretty damn thin as it is?

And has anyone noticed Sonys trend? PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/PSV. Notice, the last three sound the same!
"Hey <Insert Generic Name Here>, have you gotten the new PSV?"
"The PSP? Nah man that shits old."
"No the PSV!"
"Ooooh the PS3?, yea but it got no game."
"Oh never mind!"

Yea, I know it's not LAWL funny, but it's true.

[FunkyDisko77]

The second there's news of a new Monster Hunter game (or MPH3) coming out on the Vita i'm buying this sucker.

Otherwise I think I'm gonna wait it out and see if it's really worth the money.

[Tabarnaco]

my first edition bundle shipped today, lumines also shipped today and i just received rayman origins

boxes and game carts are so small omgz

kinda shitty that the console itself wont hold the save files, i mean it could just include 1 or 2 gigabytes and that would be enough for a lot of game saves...

[Jurikuer]

While I was at EBGames today to check out their PSV demo, I over heard one of the clerks warning a customer that they have gotten two defective pre-order PSV's. He didn't go into a whole lot of detail, but this is basically why I'm waiting to get one. I knew there would be issues and this solidifies that theory.

Of course this could be an isolated incident, however in one store there are two defective copies? That's probably only 2% of what they received.

Just knowing you can use the second stick for a camera in MHFU is damn near worth the purchase for me. No more claw! No more stretches after every hunt!

the slim model should be called the Revita

[Swamphunter]

Got mine.

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/kGAED.jpg[/img_thumb]

My initial thoughts:
- It's nowhere near as bulky as I thought.
- It's about as light as a slim PSP.
- I miss the XMB. I prefer it over the balls.
- The music that plays in the menus gets annoying eventually.
- During the initial setup, a bug cropped up when trying to log into PSN that didn't allow me to finish setting the handheld up because there is a system update. I had to skip the PSN login step and do it after the initial setup was completed.
- The PSN store is there in it's entirety. Purchased and downloading UMvC and Metal Slug Anthology for it right now.
- Charger and USB cable are the same, like how iPod and iPhone cables are. I like that.

I got it early by pre-ordering at the local Sony Style store. If you have one near you and interested, find out if they have them in stock too.

Don't forget that it feels good in the hands. When I tried the demo it felt very comfortable and easy to hold. Like it was meant to be there. That's always good for a hand held. No one wants a clunky awkward game, they want a comfortable grip.

[Tabarnaco]

how the fuck do you do 15 puzzle in 50 seconds

[Lord_Schrotty]

why do you guys already have the vita?
