Anyone know of any UK mobile networks that do a SIM-only data deal that includes access to public Wi-Fi? From what I can see 3 do a data SIM for ?7.50 per month but doesn't include Wi-Fi. O2 don't seem to do a data only SIM for anything but the iPad. :/

So BOT, I will admit one of my main concerns about the Vita is the back touch controls, and I do hear a few gripes about them, so I am curious to see how they play out. I am assuming I will eventually figure out a way to hold it where it is not even an issue, but I would be lying if I said I did not feel it could potentially be an issue at first.

Even after messing around with the system for a few days, I'm still unsure about how the back panel is going to play out over the long run. Admittedly, I haven't been playing any games that require that back panel, but I have been putting my fingers on the panel just out of instinct. It's hard to train myself to use those little divots that they want you to use. I wonder if developers can implement algorithms to differentiate between idle holding and actual touch gestures (similar to what the MacBook Air/Pro seems to do with its trackpad). I suppose that we'll have to see with time.

And damn, that Mortal Kombat trailer looks awesome. Mortal Kombat on the PS3 is hands down my favourite fighting game of this console generation, and I never thought that I would be saying that. Such an awesome game to play with others, even if they aren't fighting game aficionados. I haven't committed to picking up the Vita version yet, but I'm very, very tempted.

Also, opinions on this option as a case? Is even cheaper than the ?14.99 one I have on preorder just now

Truly cannot wait to play Rayman, especially since I missed it's initial release. Once I get through that initial few days of checking various games out, it is the game I plan on beating first I believe. Unless Uncharted really draws me away, which it very well may.

And not my thing this case. It is more like a man purse IMO. :laugh:

With that said, it seems really practical, just not sure I would use one personally, and if I did I would without a doubt put it in my laptop bag. So yeah thinking of it that way, it is a nice case. (Y)

Yeah, that would be nice if that can happen with the back touch screen. Definitely.

And MK looks pretty damn sick on the Vita, so if you were a fan of it, seems like it would be a good purchase.

I deliberately avoided rayman on console so I could get it on VIta. It's supposed to play really well. You can also do this cool thing where you can use the touch screen to zoom in and see the art/graphics in better detail.

It looks like a game almost invented for a handheld.

A-Men is a new launch title for the Vita. Previously known as something else (can't remember).

True gaming is reborn on the PlayStation Vita with the launch of A-Men, a riddle within a retro game that will satisfy your cravings for tactical play. With more than a hint of the old school style of logic, platforms and creatures, we think our new, highly addictive title is an unexpected launch in a market dominated by pump-action big titles. Created by Bloober Team and honourably inspired by retro-cult classics Lemmings and Lost Vikings, the game gives you control of up to five army characters, each with their own personalities, skills and tools, whose mission is to round up their equally endearing enemies across a series of worlds and puzzles. Highly tactical and completely addictive, the game is immediately easy to play and yet, like many classic games, it is hard to truly master. You?ll definitely need a brain for this one, folks.

Sony really needs to fix its pricing. I paid ?7 for Chinatown Wars, its just been reduced in price for IOS to 69p. That is going to be the Vitas one big failing point if developers continue to charge stupid money for games that cost far less on IOS.

Competitive pricing wouldn't hurt, but even at 69p Chinatown Wars is/was simply unplayable on the iPad for me. As much as I'd like iOS pricing, I simply couldn't see myself buying something like GTA on the iPad over the Vita regardless of price*.

A game has to control well for me to enjoy playing it from start to finish, just because I paid 69p and can load up the game and go "OMG look at how good this runs on my iPad, OMG GTA on the go on a bigscreen!", doesn't mean it's not getting put down after 30 minutes due to crap controls. Because it did :p

*Obviously within reason, I'm not going to pay anything for a game.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
