Why do you have to get a Sony memory stick and not SD etc? Just more money for Sony or does it have super fast write speed or something?
Sony have said piracy. With the format as it is, unless they license the technology to someone nobody can make a card reader or 3rd party cards without landing themselves a law suit. If it just used SD or one of the existing formats you could just put it in your PC and copy anything you liked to it which might allow you to hack it which Sony don't want.
Also don't forget different cards have different write speeds so that might have something to do with it.
I expect a chunk of it is money making though. The cards are expensive compared to Micro SD for example. I don't really have an issue with it though it would be nice if cheaper. Apple charge £80 for an extra 32GB so it's hardly unheard of.
How do you change the theme and lock screen on this anyway?
Just downloaded the Uncharted demo, how about this for being pants
What am I supposed to do in the first scene in that cell?
(Yes I am going to struggle in this game I must say lol).
To change the lock screen you need to open an image in the Photos app. When you iniially open it and get to the Live Area, click on the photo album in the bottom right and then navigate to the image you want. Once open, click the ... in the bottom left of the screen and set it as your start screen.
To change normal page backgrounds, hold your finger down on one of the bubbles for a few seconds and you'll go into edit mode. From there you can move bubbles around and change backgrounds for each page or add new pages.

Finally!
All this about your ID;s.....Dont you log into the Vita using your PSN ID?!
Yes. But I don't play online as my internet is crap which pretty much removes all PS3 games. More games have a-sync options on the vita which is perfect for me.
does anyone elses drop off the PSN each time the screen goes black? kept playing Motorstorm RC last night, and I would put the Vita down for a few mins come back and noticed the PSN had disconnected, which means I lose all the ghost data lines...
is mine broken?
It's going in to standby mode. The default time is 1 minute and you can change it to 5 in the settings.
So I gave in and bought a bundle from ShopTo and it should be here today.
Need to pick up a memory card, will 4GB be enough? Just want to download the odd apps and maybe 1 or 2 classics?
4GB will be enough for 2 or 3 PSN games if you want them, PSP games are usually maxed at 1.4GB I think but few got that large.
There are probably going to be a few 8GBs going on the MM/ebay fairly cheap over the next few days as everyone got one with a bundle pretty much and lots bought 16 or 32s to replace them.
I have Escape Plan (850MB), Motorstorm RC (695MB) Fifa Demo (1.66GB), Wipeout (1.65GB), Super Stardust Delta (232MB) and the A-Men demo (207MB) on my 8GB as well as 950MB of videos. I have 1.2GB free.
4GB will certainly be enough to get you going.
