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.

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:

Mine came with about 75% charge, more than enough to update it and set it all up, install games, etc..

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

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
