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

Had a play on the Unit 13 demo, seems pretty decent but I want gyroscopic controls. I thought it would be a bit of a gimmick but I'm currently playing through Uncharted and I quite like that method for aiming. Use the analog stick to get in the general area, then the gyro for pin point accuracy.
 
My PS Vita doesnt seem to be working at the minute.. tried turning it on and doing the 30 sec power button press but nothing.. I did manage to get it to show it has a dead battery but i havent used it since i charged it yesterday.

I will give it another attempt to charge and hope it works out.

It is possible my Thrustmaster SPF case managed to press the power button down and turn it on from standby.. I am hoping that is why its not working.

Must admit, I wondered if that could happen the first time I popped my Vita in my case as it's a very snug fit. You could probably quite easily cut/file a small indent into it if you think it's an issue.

Yeah.. its managed to turn on now that it got some charge and I think that the case is the only possible cause I can think of which could cause a fully charged battery to drain after a day without use except for a faulty battery.

I most likely will be cutting some space for the power button to prevent it happening again. :)
 
Getting extremely tempted by a PS Vita, would use it a fair bit at home and on my bus journeys to work. Who is offering the best bundle deal at the moment on one? Struggling with Googling it at the moment so this is the best place to ask!

Yeah if the Vita battery is totally dead it won't turn on as soon as you put some power in, it's like it wants a minimum level before it'll allow you to turn it on.

What games have caught your eye, that will have a bearing on what bundles are best.

Amazon are doing the WiFi + 8GB + Fifa/Rayman/Lumines/VT4 for £232

And FYI, I was playing Uncharted on the train to and from work yesterday as well as for about 4 hours when I got home from work. Didn't go to bed until 1AM because I finished it lol.

For me being able to play the games on offer in the living room while the wife watches crap TV was one of the main draws for me but I'm finding I not only play it then, I just play it all the time.

I just looked into the MM and thats made it worse :p

Would only be Fifa from that lot so not the best. Probably would want Unchartered, wipeout and Motorstorm at the moment. Read in this thread about Vodafone doing wipeout but would only get the Wifi one
 
If you get the 3G you do indeed get wipeout for £5 (that's also getting you a month of data).

Three good choices by the way :)
 
Thanks, don't think I could justify the 3G over the wifi one though getting wipeout will put me up into that price range anyway.

Arrrggghhh knew I should have not followed this thread :D
 
Hey,

Just brought my PS VITA WI FI with 4gb memory stick and Uncharted.

Is there anything i should know, any new firmware updates etc?

When you boot up and it asks if you have a PSN account click no. Then you can update to the latest 1.61 firmware. If you click yes and enter your details you get into a loop.

Add yourself and your games to spreadsheet in this post. Loads of other people on there too so you can add friends with similar tastes.

Apart form that, enjoy :)
 
been to about 3 games shops today to see if they have any decent pre owned games,out of 3 shops 1 shop had f1 for £25 there selection was so poor no wonder people just buy online.I was hoping to find a cheap rayman
 
Pretty early to find many pre owneds though? Given that the games on shelf at new in Game are like 35-40? idk.

Not tried the MLB thing yet... i might do in a bit, or might just get the cart im flapping :D

Got the official headset today, not used it yet but will try it in a bit.
 
had a go of unit 13 demo, pretty good game but it kills my eyes,some games give me a head ache while playing.I had the same problem while playing the psp.

This thing need some big games to keep its momentum going... the worst thing I find about buying a console at launch is that once you are done with the games you enjoy (from the launch selection) then you are waiting around a bit for other stuff to trickle in.... im assuming Xmas 2012 will be nuts for this thing though so im glad to be onboard early doors :)

If only they cheapened up the PSP games in the store just to spice me into them a bit. I dont mind 10 quid tops for the best of them, but a fiver would get more sells for stuff that lets face it, is almost obselete in terms of getting any real new sales (i mean the games not the PSP).

There has been massive speculation about Final Fantasy type 0 getting a Vita version in the West since Square admitted that there was a localisation on the way but we all knew PSP was almost dead here. Really happy if this is true.

Also a GTA game would be sweet and even more so if it's it's a version all of it's own.
 
Decided to hold off for now (been hard reading this thread!) and wait to see what other games come out, definitely think a GTA game will sell me on this
