What dont you understand about the controls? It seems to be the same from when I put tons of hours into MLB 09
Don't you just put the card in then delete the install after it's done its thing then remove the card and replace? Thought that fixed it.
It uses a standard power cord, you should have one already.
Yeah Music Unlimited is brilliant on vita. Slick as hell interface and the addition of the offline mode is damn nice. No brainer for mine at a tenner a month.
Oh, for fuck's sake, Sony. Do I have to wait for CFW to fix your mistakes again? I guess I could just import one.
You can simply buy the Vita charger in Finland.
Both Persona and Persona 3 have gone on sale for $20 on PSN at least 2-3 times in the past couple of years. I'm sure they'll be on sale again, but you're right, $40 is a bit pricey.

Can anyone reccomend a soft case with a zipper similar to the official travel pouch? That case seems fine, but I'd like one that isn't as thick. I don't need to store anything in it other than the Vita as it never leaves the house. I just want a small zippered soft pouch to stick it in so my 2y/o won't destroy it if he happens to grab it off my desk.
More like Japan made the mistake and the rest of the world is fine. 8P

first??
if so good luck and congrats.
if not you know this wont even keep it from getting in his hands!!
A is confirm. Where is the A button? Where is the Circle button on a PS controller? They got it right.
Knowing the official stuff costs a lot I might just buy the console from here...
I got a UK Vita, I just swapped the supplied UK power cord with my local main land europa "8" mains lead; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IEC60320_C7.jpg you probably have tons of those lying around the house?

Haha yea our first and thanks.
Given that they place O there as "confirm" and X there as "cancel", and the earliest NA games that flipped this also paused the game with the Select button and did stupid shit like assign camera switching to Start, I'm more inclined to think SCEA fucked up and now the industry largely can't move away from it.
I usually don't have too much trouble switching between systems though, it's only when I see them keep that set up on Nintendo systems or when they screw up in localization and there's no way for me to fix it that I'm REALLY irritated. That's enough though to make me wish SCE had put the foot down and ensured it was O=confirm and X=cancel all along.
Both are somewhat universal anyway, even if we don't use O the same way (or as often I guess?) there's still the concept of "circle your choice/the right answer", X closes in most OSes, and I recall you clicked O in Civilization to confirm. The most sensible justification beyond comfort preferences for switching outside of Japan is probably that O is Red, a negative cancel/close color, and the X is blue-ish, a more positive color.
After the problem with near, everything is fine.
I know I hundreds of people already talked about the screen, the games and all that. I agree with most of them, and I mostly agree that the PlayStation Vita is something you need to have and hold to see in first person to have the feeling of it.
I don't have a lot of games (Uncharted, MotorStorm and will have a couple more from the PSN in the next days), but what really amazed is the quality of the console. I don't know what Sony will do with it, but I sense they have a great base to start releasing a great line of games.
I also liked the OS on this thing. There are some sections that could be more intuitive, but it's something that feel well integrated.
I already add some of you from the PS Vita Friend List Thread, but I need some people in my friend list. If you want, please add me: cheetosdust.

Just for fun, I could also point out that X marks the treasure, so it's something we'd actually want to go after. So getting closer to where we want to be would require an X.
I've never thought of it that way.
I always thought O was "circle the correct answer" and X for "cross out the incorrect one/what you don't want."

Shhhhhhh. My first thoughts are always the worst replies.

So annoying when games flip the buttons. MGS is one offender.
I had to remember which games used O as confirm and even then I got confused and ended up pressing X when I should be pressing O.
And then when I got too frustrated, I find out you can change the button controls in game and then get even more confused and end up putting the controls back to default.
Sony, you make my life hell.
While the exceptions that DON'T change can throw me off (though I became disappointed MGS4 DIDN'T continue that tradition, I guess because SCEA finally put the foot down to eliminate all exceptions beyond retro releases), I was thinking more of games that just fuck up in the process of flipping them. Radiata Stories had some weird "Press X to kick someone, press O to talk, press X to advance dialogue/make selections" that could result in a few unfortunate accidents, and we had Dragon Quest VIII making BOTH X and O confirm because it simply swapped Triangle (the all in one interact button) with X (cancel) while O was the same (menu button/secondary confirm), rather than juggling it more to make sense relative to most other RPGs (map O to Triangle, Triangle to X, and X to O). I also recall Raw Danger's controls didn't seem to make much sense, I think O was the interact button with the usual X/O confirm/cancel, but then that was kind of a half baked localization period.
Honestly though, those cases could probably have been solved easily enough with just a somewhat smarter localization effort, though some cases I feel MAY be better left as they were in Japan, Oath in Felghana on PSP is sort of an example of that, except you can change around the controls and make it a non-issue.

It was bound to happen: Not enough space on my 4GB memory card to fit all my games now, so I had to leave UMVC3 out for the time being. I want to buy a 32gb card from tronix but it's on backorder, I'm thinking of buying a 16GB card instead. I'm not planning on going 100% digital, maybe 80% digital and the rest will be games I buy when they price drop/used (Uncharted and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus come to mind).
According to PSNation, it works as in-game soundtracks in at least a few games. As much as I'm annoyed by MU, I gotta admit that's pretty cool. If we get a Pandora app that does the same thing, I'll be in heaven.

I believe you. I personally don't understand how people are getting by with 4GB. My 16GB hovers around 1GB free at all times. I really need a 32. I have to really manage what videos and music I put on there (in fact I can only put about 600MB of music on at any time, currently - compared to having 13GB of music on my Go)
It's probably because I suck and am not too technical in baseball. ^_^
I like The Show because of the production value. Was wondering if the Vita one has noob mode.

I picked up Chains of Olympus to play on my Vita. Man I wish they did software anti-aliasing. Jaggy as all get out. I hope not all 3d psp titles look like this
btw this is with bilinear filtering on.
Chains of Olympus has jaggies even on the PSP, so its game related, not Vita related.

MU offline playback should work in all games. I tried it with Uncharted.
I think something like Shazam should be a perfect match for MU also. In fact it should be automated to download MU songs.
I havent used it but when you boot up, it asked what your "comfort level" was with The Show games, there was like a "beginner" option or something like that

YES, I need pandora as custom music on my Vita.

No way... The FEB case is form fitting... You can't get the system in there with any case or skin on it...
Get comfortable... you're going to be waiting a long, long time (maybe forever)...
I can get a Vita with a TPU shell into the FEB case.

I'm having trouble finding the thread with an explanation on how to buy PSN cards at BestBuy.com as an international customer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :3

Need to reformat my vita to fix the near error, what do I need to do to keep my saves? Just simply take the memory card out? Or do i need to back up my stuff, if so can i back them up on my ps3?

Thank you, sir!
It shouldn't even touch your memory card to restore your Vita, but if you're worried, just simply eject the memory card before doing it
Not a very good argument. Look where the A button is on these controllers.
A is confirm. Where is the A button? Where is the Circle button on a PS controller? They got it right.

I was playing a level in Mutant Blobs Attack for the 3rd time in a row to find the missing blob friend, and it's an annoying ass level. I finally found it, went through the rest of the level again, and right when I finished the level I got this screen:
It didn't save any of it. Anyone see this error screen before?
