suxxx... i bought the 3g package because its supposed to come with a free download of stardust... I still haven't gotten my code from Sony yet!!!

This has got to be the only thing I dislike about the Vita... it smells sweetly of Apple throughout - its GUI, ease of use and appearance, but it still stinks of SONY

Features: When you open up the browser sony farts in your face?

Well the browser isn't that bad, but if they'd make it faster and add flash and html 5 support I'd use it ALOT (more).

You can play PSone Classics via remote play (not sure about minis though as I've not tried any yet).

We're screwed on the browser until Sony decides to pick up another option like minimo or even opera. They chose to use Netfront, which is a popular mobile solution in Japan, the devs hail from the land of the rising sun so go figure.

If they went with Opera, at least we know what could be accomplished by looking at the Wii version.

And no, it doesn't fart in your face, it burps.

Screen comparison between the Vita and (presumably) "new" iPad.



I guess that OLED screen still holds up against the new iPad's screen. :)

Not surprised. The Vita uses OLED technology, whereas the new iPad uses the same LCD technology as the iPad 2- they just increased the resolution. The reason the new iPad has more accurate colors and better color saturation is because it has more efficient backlight LEDs.

And thanks Lucian for letting me get Kill on Unit 13 that hadnt unlocked for me yet

Wow. I'm not much surprised either. I've read people's comparisons but that picture puts the iPad's display to shame.

OLED may very well be the display of the future. Very cool.

Really impressed with the OLED myself to see it at it's best you need to encode a HD movie to it's resolution of 960 x 544 using something like xvid4psp
(I use the PS3 720p profile just change the resolution to the vitas).

Really stunning little screen especially colourwise.

Oh man... I just finished Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and it is my current fave of the series so far. I'm just about finished with U3, and I found this more enjoyable. I started both at the same time, and finished this one first.

It is a portable version of Uncharted, and is designed in that fashion. There are no HUGE set pieces and the game works in short burst. I found the treasure hunting much more fun here, than in any of the others. All the hidden items you find, help to expand the story. Considering Drake is a treasure hunter, this is the first game where finding items hidden in bushes actually seemed to have a purpose.

Others (on GameFaqs) have complained about the aiming and such, I never once used the auto aim function and I did better here than in the console versions. I do have small hands, so that may be the reason. I started the game again, and I'm currently trying to find all of the treasures. Overall, a really fun and enjoyable game. I would put it up against any game in the series any day of the week.

EDIT: Just noticed the PS Vita and new iPad screen comparison pic. That picture is terrible and so is the camera that was used to take it. I own both devices and while the Vita has an amazing OLED screen with great color production, it isn't as sharp or as crisp as the iPad's retina display. Naked eye tests are always best.
