It got a 9.5 from IGN I think and some very glowing reports from people here and on other forums.
For the price I'd say take a punt!
Was hoping to get crazy taxi (psp version) earlier, was on the ps3 earlier and it looked like you could download it for the vita but when i tried to do it via the vita it wasnt there
Try downloading it to your PS3 and then transferring it over. There are many games that are available on the PSN for the PSP that have not yet been added to the Vita store.
On a different note it appears that my Vita will have to go back
About 3 hours into an epic Uncharted stint the left most column of pixels on the screen went bright white and it's been stuck there since. I've tried standby, full power down and a full factory reset to no avail.
On the basis that it's probably a hardware issue (maybe a ribbon) I've tried knocking and banging as hard as I dare but it's not done anything or even made it flicker.
Hopefully Amazon are as good with this as they were with the stuck pixel someone else had and send me a replacement before I have to send this back.
In the meantime it's playing a video to try and run the battery down to see if that might make any difference.
Been playing it most of the day for the last 2 days, hope I don't have to go without for a day or worse!
EDIT: Just spoke to a a woman at customer service who set up a replacement. Took a little while to explain the exact problem but we got there in the end. I checked that I'll get the replacement before I have to send this back which is great.
Lucky I'm off Thursday!

tales from space mutant blob attacks and super stardust
Just bought crash bandicoot on my ps3 to play again, only £4, tried transfering it over to my vita to play but wouldnt show up in the content manager, guess it doesnt work yet. Hopefully will be able to get it on vita soon
Crash are all PS1 games dude, PS1 support is coming but not here just yet. I got 1, 2, 3 and CTR free with PS+ that I've been waiting to play!
Excellent, should be here Friday!
Motorstorm, escape plan, Rayman, mutant blobs, fifa, stardust.
Stardust on the Vita is a lrger game than on the PS3. If you enjoyed the PS3 version then the Vita version is a lock.
It does happen on Samsung phones actually. Some people have it some don't.
I am also trying to find everything on my Hard playthrough. I think I'm at chapter 11 and have 22 of the jade stones. Probably not all of them but at least the game tells you how much there is left to find in each chapter.
That's not bad at the moment. Its £28 at Asda and £30 at play, everyone else is above £30.
On a different note, it seems that a full discharge had no effect on my Vita screen having the first column of pixels on the far left being stuck on white and they are still there. The email came through this morning about the replacement so hopefully I'll get a tracking number today for it. Annoying but at least Amazon have been very good.

If you are talking about the screen blotches then I would say if you see them while gaming at all then yes. If you only see them while it's pitch black and in a dark room when it's loading a level then it's up to you.
It's an issue with OLED displays that some get it and some don't. Despite what some would like you to believe it's nothing to do with it being because it's in the Vita, Samsungs other OLED screens have the same issue apparently on the same scale.
If you only see it in the latter circumstance there is no guarantee that any replacement will be any different.
Ahh got your and Cavallino confused. Doh.

On a different note, my first article on nearvita.com is live. All about using your brower while your game is running.
Make me feel loved chaps.

Rockstar are reported to be working on multiple Vita games however we have no details yet. If it were to get a GTA I wonder if people would prefer a direct port of GTA5 that the consoles are getting or a unique title. Maybe the GTA5 port might have cross platform saves which could be good.
An Assassins Creed is also in the works, also we have the obvious Gravity Rush, MLB 12 should be popular in the US at least and features the cross platform saves too.
There is a Resistance, a Killzone, a Call of Duty, the MGS, ZOE, FFX HD remakes.
There are also the smaller titles like Sound Shapes, Putty Squad, Dragons Crown. It's the GDC in a few days so we might hear more games there.
I would appreciate it if the iOS v Vita conversation were continued in a separate thread, all it's doing here is making it a mess for those that just want information on the Vita. I've no problems adding to the discussion and it's a valid one to have, but I've not done it here precisely because this thread was not created for that purpose.

PUTTY SQUAD? As in the Putty Squad that was on the snes? Epic.

The above is bloody awesome! Can't wait for my delivery!
O and I agree fully with the above. Comparing iOS to the vita is pointless, let it go. No one cares. Two different things.
The very same Putty squad
all the graphics have been redone obviously.There are loads of lockscreens and backgrounds in the links in the OP
I've opted for the Thrustmaster VIP case from Amazon. It won't hold any games or leads but it looks great and is hard. I've bought a little earbug pouch from ebay to put my carts in so that I can put that inside the case.
It's not out until Friday though.
And you can put a protector on the rear just fine. It's slightly smaller than ones for the front so you'll have to cut it down if you are using one of those.
Finally beat Uncharted with everything apart some Black market stuff. Now time for a break then Crushing mode.
Nice! Only at about Chapter 13 so far as Motorstorm has taken up so much of my time. What are you going to play before you try Crushing?
Am I imagining things, sure there was a Rayman trial on the store before but now I can't find it
I wonder if it's on the PS3 store and not the Vita store. I KNOW there were trials off all 4 Ubisoft games, they were just the full game and you bought an unlock code for it. But I don;t recall seeing them on the Vita store, but then I never went looking for them.
Not played the demo yet and I generally suck at shooters without a mouse and keyboard. However I've heard good things about the aiming in Unit 13 so that might help me out.
It's £30 on amazon btw.
EDIT: beaten like an ugly ginger stepchild
On another note, my replacement Vita is "dispatching soon" on Amazon and will be here tomorrow apparently! Hurrah for customer service that isn't utter crap.
Wonder what the deal is with the 3G simcard. Since the one I got is used and I've paid for it and topped it up, and the Vita I'm sending them will be sent back to Sony anyway... I'll get a new one in the new Vita so...
Shopto says the RRP is £35 the same as Wipeout, Modnation and Everybodys Golf.
They are all £31.85 on shopto but £29.99 on the PSN.
Here's a pic of the travel case:
Sorry about the quality !
Would it not be safer with the screen facing the centre padding?
Did you put it to sleep or did it go to sleep on its own?
Also for anyone interested in Gravity Rush, SCEE just tweeted that it'll be out on 13th of June Retail and DD. Previously there were concerns it would be DD only.
