Is it possible to use a US 3G vita in the UK? I assume it will be
The Vita itself will work but AT&T managed to get the Vita's locked to their network over there and DoCOMo got the same in Japan. Vodafone didn't get the same here thank god. Plus we got the best bonus for getting 3g (Wipeout 2048). In the US they got Super Stardust Delta (still excellent) but only after a 30 day wait!
The European Vita is the best one out of EU/US/JAP for that sole reason IMO.
Have you received ANY messages from Vodafone to your Vita? If so which ones?
Have you tried turning off WiFi and 3G, rebooting, turning 3G on and then opening the brower and just going to google? Some peopleh ave reported that as soon as they tried to use the 3G they started getting codes.
Have you made an account on Vodafones website here?
Because they need a good stream of games coming out to maintain interest in the system and to continually drive new customers to buy it and the games.
Bear in mind we had 30 games for our launch, that's more than double what Japan had and about 3 more than the US. Now of those, I'm fairly confident that Uncharted sold well as it's the marquee title, and Motorstorm, Super Stardust, Wipeout, Rayman and Fifa will probably have done quite well also. But while so many games available is great for us to have a great selection it's not great for the devs whos game gets overlooked because there are so many new titles at once.
Look at just before Christmas. Assassins Creed, BF3, COD, Skyrim and Batman: AC all released within about 4-6 weeks of each other. Ubisoft also released Rayman at the same time which bombed despite being one of the games of the year.
Hopefully by spreading them out they'll get good sales of each which if they are good games they deserve and will encourage them to make other games.
Just wallpapers at this time. Not heard anything to suggest that themes are coming but it's a revenue stream for them to sell them so I imagine they will.
Yeah I saw those trigger grips, wanderson75.net did a review and were quite happy (4.5/5)
I've not had a play with any of the transparent backgrounds yet, I've found a nice white one with just the coloured PS logo in the centre that I want to try out though. I'll grab some screens I think.
Looking nice, maybe you could do a second version with the black border missing?
I can try, however I haven't got my Vita yet so dunno how it'll look
Edit: How does this look then?, I've left in the dark area for time and stuff but also removed the little puller

I'm actually wondering if perhaps they had too many games at launch, sure 30 games at launch was great but there doesn't seem to be a massive amount of good games before May. Though we don't have a release date for the MGS or ZOE collections yet.
MGS should be out soon since a screenshot of it running was posted on Twitter not that long ago
Also isn't 30 games to choose from better then a few games?

It's better for us yes, but a constant stream of good/excellent games is going to be what keeps the console going, even if it did well at launch we don't really want a repeat of what happened with the 3DS, a great launch and then no real decent games coming out for months and months until Nintendo saved it with the Mario games.
Well we know about Unit 13, MLB 12 and Silent Hill: Book of memories in March, Mortal Kombat in April, Resistance: Burning Skies and Gravity Rush in May and as you said, the MGS and ZOE dates are not set yet, nor is FFX.
Also no word on things like Sound Shapes, Little Big Planet, Warriors Lair, Dust 514 etc.
There is also this unknown hanging over Final Fantasy Type-0. We know that it is being translated for the west but with the PSP dead we have no idea what platform they'll release it on. Will thy go PSP but digital only or will they just release it as a Vita game.
GDC is from March 5th-9th so it's possible we'll hear more then. I understand them wanting to not get too loud only because they wanted to focus on the launch batch up until now.
I haven't even played a race on Wipeout, a level on Escape Plan started Lumines or Rayman yet! Wife is liking Escape Plan though.
I turned it on last night to play a few laps on Motorstorm and went to bed an hour later
Set a couple of decent laps though. That rally car is nuts.

I honestly didn't think the 3DS had a great launch
it didn't have any must have games, unlike the PS Vita which as at least 2, plus the Vita as good PSN games, which the 3DS didn't even have 1 in the store
I do agree a steady stream of good games is better, however it as got quiet a few good games on the way so I don't think it'll stuggle
I agree, I've had a 3DS since launch and I've hardly bought any games.
At launch only Pilot Wings was worth having. Then Zelda came out a few months later.
After that though, nothing. We had to wait until Christmas for Mario Kart and Super Mario 3D Land. Since then though....nothing.
The 3rd Party releases have been garbage.
I'm not uploading screen shots, I'm uploading homescreens you can use
However if I remeber rightly to take a screen shot its PS and start button, or home and start (somebody will correct me)
Dunno anyother way apart from copying the images from your Vita to your PC to upload them
Press the PS button and Start at the same time and it'll take a screenshot. It works in most games but is disabled in a couple.
I upload the images from the Vita to Flickr using the app. But I put new images on it by either saving from the browser (tap the image to bring up a menu) or by connecting to my PC and using the Content Manger to transfer back and forth.

Good thread for those of us looking at some RPGs for our Vita.

Yes I made an account on the Vodafone website and received a message to my vita saying welcome to Vodafone, did you know you can get rewardz... etc etc! That's all I've had though.
Go to you account details and then edit profile and put in the sim number !
