How strange. What about apps? I've not had any issues but would it not be a bit soon to decide that it's doomed and not worth it? I understand you're annoyed but for all we know they have been having server errors today.

There'll be plenty of competition for top spot ;) Love that little game.

An exerpt from Eurogamer

And it's doing it in style with this excellent top-down arcade racer, whose diminutive scope and price tag don't detract from its serious racing credentials at all. It's social, it's mobile, it's lean, but it's not casual.

Its sophisticated handling model tests your skill. There's a notable lack of tacked-on touch control where it's not needed (a phenomenon which otherwise infests the Vita's launch games). And the social features are based on the vision of an online arcade presented by Bizarre's Geometry Wars 2 and Criterion's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, rather than FarmVille. What's more, RC is the most convincing current demonstration of an amazing feat only Vita can achieve - a proper home console game and a proper portable game for the same price, seamlessly integrated through the cloud.

The Vita launch has played havoc with our review schedule, so you'll have to wait until Monday morning for my review, but here's a preview of it: "MotorStorm RC isn't two games in one, it's one game in two - and it's an absurd bargain. With online multiplayer, it would be a miniature classic. As it is, it's recommended for PS3 owners, all but essential if you have a Vita - and for lovers of RC cars or top-down racing, it's a rare treat."

It's far from the biggest Vita game, and if you count Japanese releases it's certainly not the best (that would be Gravity Daze). It hardly guarantees Vita's success. But MotorStorm RC shows Sony having its hardcore portable cake and eating it, and we definitely want a slice.

Can you show me this deal please, Just tried it and it comes to £287.54 on Amazon, which is only £20 difference.

I read were it says get a Vita Wi-Fi £197, 8GB Memory for £20 and and a £15 game, so £232, plus £29.56 for EBG, is like you said £261.56 but when I get to the checkout it says £287.54.
 
Absolutely loving Motorstorm RC, just a fiver and its on my PS3 too. What a great game. barely played uncharted (although it does look and play great)

Dont sign into psn immediately, make sure you update the firmware first. And update all games you have before running a game. Just click on the icon of the game and press the circular arrows.

Oh and charge it ;)

Updated the firmware, and then created a new PSN account. Deleted my old one just after the PSN hacking blunder. Thanks for the update tips Red.

Battery is full at the moment, so it's cool.

Also, isn't it possible to recharge the Vita from Computer USB connection? I've read somewhere it can only be done when off.
 
is there a way to speed up the downloads, not use to such slow downloads, I have a 18MB line speed, yet it can not be anywhere near that, Frobisher says took 54 mins!!
