PlayStation Vita (PSP2)

[Philll]

Sony has issued an apology and software update after a barrage of complaints about its new handheld console.

The PlayStation Vita went on sale in Japan at the weekend. Users have described unresponsive touchscreens, crashes and freezes.

its been semi jail broken, according this article.

It seems he was able to quickly take the old PSP Save Game Exploit via v6.31 and make it work on the new 'PS Vita' because it contains an PSP emulator that does not seem to protect itself from the old exploit.

/facepalm someone already posted this.

• PSV cartridge comparison (PSV vs 3DS)
• One Region PSN account on a memory stick [cant have a us, aus, jap on one ms] (?)

Just wait for those knockoffs to come around. I can imagine microsd adapters too (unless these are smaller than microsd's? )

Don't get the issue about the rear controls. It kind of reminds me of people who have been playing the same console for a few years but still need to look at the controller when the screen prompts them to press a certain button.

[mrthong]

it depends on the knock off ones, the Memory Stick Pro Duo knock (psp) offs were significantly slower than the original ones. no idea about the speed copy/write for the micro sd.

btw guys, if you pre order the psv, you'll received a free pair of sony earphones and other goodies.



PS Vita has a Few Problems

For example, the Vita cannot charge via USB. Though the device includes a proprietary USB cable for transferring data to and from the PS3, if you want to charge the device you’ll have to connect it to a wall outlet. Obviously, this isn’t a huge problem, but it could put a damper on your experiences when it comes to inter-device connectivity.


News is also breaking across the web that many Japanese customers are experiencing problems with their Vita, with the most commonly reported problem being unresponsive touchscreens and full system crashes. Additionally, we’re seeing intermittent reports of the screen completely failing, but it’s tough to get a bead on how widespread the issue may be. You can see an example in the image attached to this post, but without numbers it’s hard to tell if this is a big deal or not. Some systems are bound to fail, regardless of the product quality.

there would probably be a third party accessory for the usb charging.

If piracy opens up on the vita early i get the feeling the handheld will only be popular in japan again.

Well, it's 30k JPY and 24990jpy for the 3g and wifi in japan. We just get ripped off. :thumbed:

I'm getting one regardless.

such a rubbish comparison.

the Vita has 3x the resolution and OLED, both of which your not seeing in that video.

not to mention all the extra graphics extentions that the 3ds hardware cant do.

[proffesso]

hah, well wife got me a Vita for xmas...no games yet, i'll just buy off the store along with a large card

oh apparently the sony memory cards are quite fast, hence the cost as well. like Class10 SD cards. people keep comparing them to the cheapest sd cards they can find, which are class2 or 4 and then complain about the price.
