Ecolibrium is a giant pile of IAP-hawking hite, that forgot to put a game in first. Ignore.

Everybody's Golf, Lumines, Gravity Rush and WipEout are probably the highlights of the full price stuff, from the ones I've actually played. NFS: Most Wanted and Little Big Planet are also apparently ace. Uncharted is OK, and free on plus on Friday(?) Not sure what else is in the second-tier of OK titles.

On the cheaper side, Super Stardust, MotorStorm RC and Mutant Blobs are all good fun. Possibly Escape Plan, if it takes your fancy. It's cheap.

Picked up Super Stardust, is bloody excellent. Still 10m behind you though.

How exactly does PS+ work then?

At any given time we'll have 14 games available across PS3 and Vita. If I download one of them I'm guessing I can continue to play it for the entire time I have a sub. If I delete a game and it drops of PS+ will I be able to redownload it or not at all?

i tell you what i am going to be super fucking pissed if this does turn out to be shit.

From what I have played, which was approx 2 hrs....split 45mins single player, 45 mins multiplayer and a bit of the "waves" mode....I thought to myself that it is a solid 6 or 7/10....probably more for the multiplayer which although cut down, was stable and played a decent game of nuketown.

Haha, chill man, if you like it then that's all that matters. I suspect you have played it for longer than most of those reviewers.

I bought Persona 3 Mobile (PSP version for the Vita), but I haven't got a clue what I'm supposed to be doing. It seems like some weird dating game with monsters or something. Any tricks on how I'll enjoy it and maybe get interested in the sequel? By all accounts it must be an amazing game, but my brain kind of shuts down when I play it.

It's been a while since I played P3, but I remember loving the PS2 version.

I'm not sure if/how I can really tell you to enjoy it though, but I'd say it's definitely one of those games you need to sit down and give some time to. If I remember, it has quite a long intro section before you get into the game proper, but once you're past that, I can see it being ideally suited to a mobile platform.

It's pretty quirky and 'japanese' though, especially the main characters, and the whole dating side game, so you'll definitely get more out of it if you like that.

There is a time limit to the dungeon sections, but you soon work out that it's not that bad and how to get the most out of it. The other systems aren't particularly complicated, you just need to pay basic attention to the game and that's it.

Play it, enjoy it, or realise it's not your thing- it's not going to sell you Japanese RPGs if you don't like them though, but it is a fantastic example of that genre.

Enjoying NFS: MW, even more so since I got Autolog connected. The layout is fun, the races decent and a great selection of cars. Just wish there was proper damage rather than bounces and scuff marks.

But yeah, good to have a reason to play the Vita again.

This thing is...bigger then I was expecting.

I'm not a fan of flaps to put in things, they always feel like they'll break if opened and closed too much. The cart slot should have been left open imo.

Tis charging! :omg:

edit: The back got fingerprints in seconds. Oh man.

Right, as of this evening I'm redundant, and still haven't a job lined up; however, due to a screw-up with my birthday I've got one big present coming before personal austerity hits. And, with the stretching of PS Plus to Vita, I'm thinking that I might be well asking for a Vita, as the 'free' games should keep me happily entertained without costing me money over the next twelve months.

Questions:

I see that the only way to switch region (based on my experience of the PSP and PS3, I imagine I'll want to occasionally get things from the American store) is to reformat the Vita every time (and that each memory card is tied to an account). How onerous is this process, and does it mean I'll be wanting two memory cards?

On a related note: What the fuck is with the pricing of the Vita memory cards? I remember the PSP, and it was at least possible to get non-Sony cards to save money. If I'm going to be downloading games, I imagine I'll need a decent amount of memory, but it looks like the largest official memory cards are 32gb, and they're hilariously priced. Am I missing something here, or is it a case of sucking it up and paying over the odds for a card that'll fill up before I've downloaded 10 games?

Genuine apologies for not going through the thread more thoroughly, as I'm sure these have been answered, but, well, it's a big bloody thread.

Upgrading is simple yes, it can be lengthy though. Just back up everything to your PC and then restore it to your new card.

I dont think having 2 cards and flipping between US/EU is easy, seems to take ages and is a right pain in the arse from all accounts. Probably best to set it up as US and sign up to their PS+ and buy cards from amazon as detailed in this thread just a few posts back.

The problem is I'd want to tie the Vita to my main PS3 account, to which nearly all of my four years' worth of PSOne/PSP titles are attached - which is a UK account.

How long does a full charge take generally?

I have to admit I love the feel of the Dpad, wish Nintendo did this kind. Harkens back to Sega's in flex and comfort. Shoulder buttons don't feel as good as 3DS, however. Despite being able to press them from a lot more angles.

I do this fairly regularly and it's a quick and easy process. However it's much easier to have two separate cards as otherwise you're constantly moving stuff back and forth from card to PC. In the past UK and US stuff could reside on the same card but now if the Vita sees stuff from a different PSN ID it asks to format the card.

The constant changing does totally mess up your bubble layout so it's a case of accept the mess or spend ages reorganising. I grew to accept the mess. The process also requires you to re-enter your wifi settings and PSN login every time as this seems to get saved to the machine rather than memory card.

A handy tip is every time you reset the machine it'll want to show you that first owner video. Just turn the machine off the second it starts and when you power up again it won't play it again. I reckon I've got the process down to under two minutes from asking to reset to having it fully up and running again.

Just remember to say yes to reset but no to the format when prompted.
