Just been down to Tesco to buy a memory card and Starter Pack with my trade in credit. :)

post-112768-0-19857400-1329921400_thumb.

Not a bad haul bad for ?277.40. I have still got over ?11 left of trade in credit. :D

Is that a pre-order pack? Where did you order from?

Yeah it is the preorder pack. I preordered from Game because I had a load of Loyalty Credit (?72.56 IIRC). :)

Also if you guys want some awesome wallpapers for your Vita, look no further than here - http://neogaf.com/fo...ad.php?t=462902

Ahh, thanks for that :). Some really nice wallpapers in there for sure.

Cool to see people getting their Vita systems in now. I'm really digging it so far, and I think that many of you will feel the same way. I'm mostly playing Wipeout, Lumines, and Hot Shots Golf right now.

My brother is going to pick up his PS Vita today. He pre-ordered it yesterday from a nearby EB Games store for $149.99. If you trade in 4 games with a minimum trade-in value of $8, you get $100 off a PS Vita pre-order/purchase. EB Games Canada has the same offer for the Nintendo 3DS.

No way!

Wasnt marked as shipped but its just arrived at my door :D

PSN: TheLegendOfMart if anyone is interested, get some Motorstorm ghost action going.

Just sent you a friend request. Got my Vita today and I'm very impressed with it, I have had one lock up but I suspect it was a problem I caused, thanks to PS Vita Support for helping me sort that out. Currently downloading God of War Chains of Olympus and the AR games at the moment.

I love Motorstorm so it's good to see Arctic Edge works on the PS Vita

PSN: terminus_a_quo if anyone is interested.

At work but know its on the way. Also got am email from amazon for $20 credit as my wife preordered it before they were bundling the 4GB card with it. That was awesome of them to do, gotta love amazon. Going to buy a case with it. For those that do have it already does it need to be charged first? Thinking of telling my wife to open the the box up and charge it if it needs it.

PSN is DLDirtyLarry if we're not already friends.

Is the Vita friends list the same as the PS3 or do we need to start over?

Its seperate for now, i think you can see PS3 people but PS3 people cant see Vita people.

Lucky git i paid ?37 for my copy :(

*Hug*

Doing the system update right now. Dat OLED screen.

Btw everyone keep an eye on - http://wololo.net/wagic/

HBL will be released for Vita soon, but you need to buy a certain, currently unamed, PSP/PSN title with the exploit. May have to be quick if Sony pulls it. The power in this device is going to be awesome for emulation, I'm saddened though people will always look for a way to take an exploit and rip the arse out of it for free games. HBL genuinely has nothing to do with piracy, but Sony will certainly take nothing lightly after the PSP.

did you confirm that it's the whole game and not some leaked DLC

Yeah it's whole game. Sony literally linked the purchase to the wrong content. My PSN downloads list says that I have purchased and own Golden Abyss.

So can anyone verify, when you open it up at first does it need to be charged? I am thinking of asking my wife to do so, but a bit hesitant. I kind of want to do the unboxing on my own, etc. But if it takes a few hours to get charged up, then yeah, i will not lose sleep if I cannot unbox it. :laugh:

Nooo don't take the holy unboxing away from your hands :p Yeah as others have said 75% charge on opening.

TheLegendOfMart, kicked your ass on that first Motorstorm race :p

Multitasking allows you to take a screenshot in-game (Home and Start), pop on Twitter (vita has it's own app) then upload your screen - https://twitter.com/#!/Gavin_Devine/status/172412977276911616

And the game is still running in the background waiting on you.

Nice, that is REAL kick ass.

Man, going to do so much gaming on this thing, it is not even funny.

I just ordered the crystal case from Amazon, was literally free since they gave me a $20 credit for not getting the free 4GB memory card, which I would much rather have the case since I got a 4GB card with the starter kit.

Thanks to everyone for the fast response about it being charged. Looking forward to getting home.

One last question...

Do I purchase the games off of PSN onto PS3 and transfer, or can it be done through the Vita directly? Or both? Just curious best way to do it.

TIA, DL

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
