    So, I just managed to pick up a Vita (thanks for talking me into it a while ago). I just want to apologize ahead of time for all of the dumb questions I will ask on this thread while I get used to it.

    First, I just wanted to ask: My Vita came with an 8gb memory card. I'm not sure if it is what I will stick with, but I would like to try it out to see if I will need more memory in the future, or if 8gb will do. I hear that you can only have your PSN account on one card. Is this true? Does this mean that if I use the 8gb card, I will not be able to use another?

    Yeah basically. your Psn account gets linked to your vita. Also congrats on the purchase!
     
  3. 8 GB should be enough if you don't plan on buying many full games from the PSN Store. I'm currently using an 8 GB card too, and it's more than enough for me since all I have on the card are Dissidia 012 and a few PSN games/apps. I'd probably pick up a 16 or 32 GB card in the future once the price drops some more.

    And yes, you can only use one account per card. However, you can have multiple cards with the same account. If you want to upgrade at any time, all you need to do is to copy the files over (restore from backup) using Content Manager iirc.

    ...

    I dont know guys lately my vita has been collecting dust and i have soooooo many games for it. I have been getting back into ios games like inotia 4 and some others. I even had a few thoughts about selling my vita and all the games. I dont know i work 40 or more hours a week and its just alot easier to whip my phone out on lunch or breaks and play a game or 2. Plus so many games come out for ios and alot of people get excited and it gets me excited. Maybe just keep my Vita for now? What do you guys think?

    Inotia 4 came out like five days ago? You haven't touched your Vita in five days?

    OMG SELL SELL SELL. :p

    Seriously though, keep it, unless you need the money. Even if you're not using it for a bit, it's not hurting you by keeping it and a game will come out that you have to have sometime down the road I bet.

    I haven't really used my iPod Touch in awhile, but I don't plan on selling it.(unless a fifth gen version comes out with buttons)
     
  12. Same here. Marvel vs Capcom 2 lasted me a good day or so, but then I went back to BlazBlue.

    First off, I wouldn't sell. I go through periods of playing a system and then moving on to another. I've had the itch to sell and when I've done it, I've regretted it. In fact, before getting Mortal Kombat today, I went back to my 3DS to play Resident Evil Revelations. I'd hold out till at least Resistance or Gravity Rush.

    On another note, I've taken a break from Ridge Racer and have just been going in daily for the 50 credits for watching the team update. A few days ago, I was picked as a VIP for the day. This earns 1000 extra credits. Seems now, I keep getting the VIP for a day pick and have gotten 1000 credits for about 3 days straight! Lol, just going to keep milking it until I get past 30000 to switch teams.

    Anyone else had this bug? Something to remember or try if you get the VIP nomination.

    I thought reviewers were exaggerating, but man the fighters in MK Vita really look very PSP-ish. The Vita has gotta be capable of more than that.

    Oh well it's still a fun game, I've only played it for a little bit, but PSP fighters aside(the backgrounds and CGI looks amazing) I've so far had a good time with this game. . MK is the only fighter I've ever enjoyed.

    It'll take awhile to get through all the content that's packed into the game, so far so good.

    No way I'd sell especially so early, the PSP had one of the best game catalogs of any system in my opinion and I'm pretty sure we have only seen a sliver of the vitas potential so far.
    I'm already quite happy with the games I've acquired all I need really is a good beat em up, FPS, driving and maybe an Air Combat game.

    Yeah it may take time to see games that really interest but they'll come and who knows what will be announced at E3.

    I once got the VIP nomination two days in a row. Got a lot of upgrades with those credits.

    What team are you on?



    P.S. Ridge Racer Vita is awesome, I don't care what anybody says.

    personally, i thilnk Ridge Racer for Vita is the best in the series. Its more for vets than it is for casual newcomers.

    Anyway, downloading MK, hope its good!
