***** PlayStation Vita Official Thread *****

Well my included sim activated yesterday I think (welcome to voda message appeared, plus bunch of drivel), and today I got spam already, about some daily reminder for whats on tonight... At 12p a text it says, and no obvious way to cancel since the vita cannot send messages... Yeah good luck with that, since I have no credit on it yet!

I'm reluctant to just enter my details in the online, as it might not think this is a vita and I won't then get a code, right? Only want the code to give to a friend.

I just registered for an account here and it sent a validation code to the Vita that you enter into that page, once you top up the Wipeout code arrived about 30 minutes later.

MLB never gets a UK release, never had for PS2 or PS3 so I doubt it for Vita. Maybe the digital thing changes it, but if that costs money for any reason then I doubt we will see it on our store.

OK so I can get a US account and buy it that way? How does that work.. im thinking address conflicts from my card to what I assume i have to register with to get a US account?

Cant believe it :(

Your best bet is buying PSN cards from somewhere. you pay, you get emailed a code which you enter into the PSN and now your wallet has credit to spend. I've never done it so I have no idea wher to get codes from. Hopefully someone can help. maybe eBay?

Loading times?
Which is faster for loading a game?
PSNETWORK Download, loading from Vita Memory card.
Or Vita Cartridge?

I am considering getting Wipeout 2048, an wanted to know which is faster, of at all?

Retails carts are faster but only marginally. Wipeout for example might take 39 seconds on the cart but 40-41 on a memory card. In my opinion it's not enough to base a purchase on.

My Thrustmaster VIP case arrived this morning. Its pretty decent

PICS! Mine has probably arrived also but I'm at work.

Does anyone know a decent place i can get a cheap 16/32GB Memory card from?

I got my 32GB from planetaxel.com. It cost me £65 posted and it took about 10 days from Canada. They DO take payment IMMEDIATELY though even if it's not in stock. They've also had trouble getting new stock since the 15th so be warned!

OK, pics and a little mini review.

The case is very rigid, my Vita feels pretty safe in it. Shacking the case with the Vita in offers no movement what's so ever. The lid snaps shut quite viciously, so be careful! The inside is felt lined and again, feels like it will stop any harm coming to my precious bit of kit.

Nice!


just imported the PDP Trigger Grips from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigge...4JVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330691979&sr=8-1

though they go out of stock in a flash, had mine on preorder for 3 weeks before they sent it, arrived by UPS cost me £17 in all, not bad as it is a quality item

Moar pics and impressions!
 
will take pics later as I have to go pick up son from nursery, they feel high quality, slightly slippery, where I thought they would be more rubbery, it is a very cosy fit, I like it most though as it protects the back when you put the Vita down...

I have also ordered the Hori ones at Zavvi, though they are OOS, as they have adjustable slider handles, but not the trigger parts, and I expect for games like Unit 13 et al these trigger grips will be a god send
 
Heres a couple of pictures of the SPF case:

Overall very very nice case. Feels completely solid the PSV sits in very snuggly and doesnt move at all when in the case. Nether to the games in the slots too.

Looks really nice, any chance you can make the images a teeensy bit smaller? maybe 800 or 1000px on their longest side??
 
yup sure :) give me a moment

edit: images updated with smaller size. Hopefully they are ok

Edit 2:

Heres another wallpaper I made for the PSV.

Can I just check, does your case close fully?
 
Did anyone get an error on the webpage when trying to set up their vodafone account through the vita?

I've updated my firmware, selected the vodafone apn, but when i click on the vodafone button it redirects to a page with german writing (the address of the page ends no_wifi_support.xml)

Im using my phone to do this, but the signal is good and i can load up other pages through my tethered phone just fine on the vita.
