You can add Tiger Woods 10 to the incompatible list, £15 down the drain, should have triple checked before buying it.

Added. It's still £15? That's way too much for an old sports game.

I'm also getting tired of it, but since I'm halfway through the gold tourney I figured I'd power through it tonight.
Loving it so far. Bought the sony grip but looking forward to trying out the nyko one.
Liking Unit 13, could have used more polish though. AI is still dumb, it's 2012 and enemy AI does not get suspicious when passing a bunch of their dead friends bodies laying on the ground?
Going to pick up lumines and Monster Hunter Freedom (is the vita version coming to america?). I have a list of other games to pick up on the psp side but I don't finish games as quickly as some of you do, so 2 or 3 games plus demos for now is great.
My main three (+) gripes with the vita.
1. The face buttons are not backlit.
2. It quits you out of the game to use the web browser.
2a. Have a hard time getting on some wifi connections. At work its fine it brings up my daily log on page but I have yet to successfully get it working at the Equinox gym's wifi connection.
2b. I wish I could tap my bluetooth/wifi settings from the top left of the screens by touch and not have to go into settings each time.
3. Having to logon to PSN from settings as opposed to its own bubble/link on home screen is just wrong. This is where companies NOT names apple fail, small little things that are not made to be easy and quick.

Cool. Thanks.
Did you try and accept them on the PS3? Requests sent from the Vita I don't think you can accept on the PS3 (I had this issue with a load of requests that I tried to accept before my Vita arrived).
Yes and yes. It's really a sight to see in motion.
The hitsparks and backgrounds are less detailed than the console big boys, but other than that it's almost indistinguishable. I'm sure the characters also have a lower poly count but it's almost impossible to tell on a screen this size.

Not so sure about the whole 4 Hours of battery life. I played WipeOut for 5 1/2 hours straight on a flight home.

I'll be buying a vita soon, but have a question. I got the free motorstorm RC from the US store but on my vita I'll be using my EU account. I understand that you can only have 1 account at a time or you have to reset to factory settings to switch. Will I still be able to transfer motorstorm RC from my US account from ps3 to my vita and play it with my EU account, or is the game linked (and only playable) with the US account? I don't feel like switching accounts every time I want to play motorstorm...
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
Yeah I've been getting around 5 hours as well
That's good to hear, sounds impressive. This will be a likely purchase tonight. Thanks!

Got mine too, but I already bought it. Didn't know that would be the free game given or else I wouldn't have bought it.
I also got my Super Stardust Delta code so check your email. I subscribed I think on February 25 so it took much quicker than I anticipated.

I wonder at a world where we come to expect a full-bore console game to be priced like an iOS app just because it's a couple years old. Ya, you can argue that you can pick up the game on UMD or DS cart for less... used... if you can find it... but if you look at this as a "new retail" copy with the added advantages of guaranteed availability and convenience (I mean, just try to find a used copy of Chinatown Wars at the local brick'n'mortar), and $20 seems very reasonable to me for the number of hours of play time I get out of this title, especially since that's half the "new price" of $39 at launch already.
uh, since it's still free, why don't you just download it on your EU account?
It isn't free in the EU.

Did you try to download it from a PS3?
Yes, Gran Turismo works fine, but Killzone doesn't appear when I connect Vita to PS3.

Then I'll update the OP. Thanks for reporting!
This thread is a lot slower, so now I might actually have the time to read everything.

Yup. Its really close to the console versions and looks really amazing for a handheld. Only the backgrounds take a real hit. Some are static, some don't have as much animations, but at least its way better than the flat backgrounds of Super Street Fighter 4 3ds.

yes the one you used for the AT&T service
Maybe because the full bore console game has a full bore iOS port with improved visulas and improved touch controls (over the ds version) and is priced at £6.99.
£13 doesn't really cut it even if physical controls are better in every conceivable way.
I agree with your general argument though, just not in this case where a game is almost identical yet almost 3 times the price.

Also just got my super stardust code. Quite excited.
On another note anyone here play hustle kings asychronously? If so please add me. PSN id same as user name.
I cannot praise hustle kings enough. I know it's looked down on as a port but for $10 it's an absurd bargain. I just discovered today that in addition to all the customizable multiplayer modes and asychronous play they have daily challenges as well that are all very different and really fun and each has it's own leader board broken down by All players, all players you've found on near and all players on your friends list. So cool.

Yall are in for a surprise with Stardust, my favorite Vita game by FARRRRRRRRRRRR.
I'm a big fan of both versions. Let's try some asynchronous, shall we? FoomMan on PSN.
I checked your list. Manhunt 2 and ModNation Racers Euro versions are compatible.
Agreed.

Is there a similar action for getting a free stardust copy in the EU? Guess not since it's the first I hear about this.

Mega threads aren't allowed IIRC and it's way past the launch now.

Scalpel Knight just DESTROYED me, though I'm a pretty horrendous noob. It was a blast though, I almost had em'! With more practice I may actually break my perfect loss online record, I do intend to get better.
