excellent set of walls, thanks (Y)

Yeah I'm using the abstract ones - I like the styles that have been chosen, but if I ever want to freshen them up, the included PSDs have the side bars.

I'm using this Batman lockscreen

Does anyone know if Tiger Woods 10 PSP works on Vita, dont wanna buy it and find out it doesnt work. Getting bored of Everybodys Golf manga-ness.

Can't answer your question, all I can say is hopefully we do see a new Tiger Woods on the Vita utilizing the graphics.

FYI Tiger Woods 10 PSP doesn't work on Vita, won't met me download using the Vita and the content manager doesn't see the game on the PS3.

Waste of ?16, that'll teach me for not doing my research.

Sucks, hopefully in the next update it'll become compatible.

play some more U:GA last night - it just gets better and better and im still early in the game.

my only complaints are the lack of a proper save function, and the treasure hunting. i feel the treasure hunting is too cumbersome and time consuming. i know i dont have to look for them, but i want to. i find myself constantly going to my notebook every couple of minutes trying to remember what im looking for.

Weeeeee I love the screenshot function of the Vita.

One of the best shots ive chipped in so far.

Nice! I was so proud of myself after my first birdie chip-in, but it wasn't from as far away as that one. I'm still not great at that game, but it's the first golf game that I have purchased since the original Hot Shots Golf on the Playstation 1, so I'm still trying to get the hang of things. I'm definitely enjoying it, though. I actually gave in and played a quick ten minutes before work this morning.

Oh, and Street Fighter x Tekken next week! I've been excited about that game for a while, and being able to play it on my Vita just sweetens the deal.

Must have the drug :p

I'm starting up Tactics Ogre to see what all the fuss is about over this game.

If you like TRPGs it's a GREAT game :) But I found it did get a bit repetitive around the end, but the multiple paths are cool

Not really a fan of them, or should I say I just completely avoided them. But never a better time to try!

Haha, definitely :). It's just so easy when the system is already in standby and the course is already loaded up.

And I enjoyed Tactics Ogre when I played it way back in the day, but it's definitely slow-paced, and like Rudy said, it can become repetitive (especially when you have to "train" your army before each major battle). Way slower paced than Final Fantasy Tactics, that's for sure. Still good, though.

I thought the Vita version wasn't coming out until later this year?

Yeah, you're right - I just checked a few minutes ago. I missed the news completely on that one :(. Ahh well, I still have more than enough on my plate for the time being.

Ouch that sucks. What I have been doing is browsing from the Playstation Store on the Vita. It tells you right there if the game is compatible or not. Helped save me a few purchases.

I really just think Uncharted is a bad game so far, but it keeps getting praise so perhaps I need to push on. But I really feel like all of the touch stuff is just dumb. And I am enjoying so many other games right now, I just have no desire to check it out. Maybe one day I will give it a proper go.

So speaking of other games, Wipeout is just amazing in all regards. I am a huge fan of the PS3 version, and it really is that version in your hands. And I cannot notice any real lack of speed whatsoever, and if I could I would absolutely say I did. But the 30 FPS truly is no issue at all. The game looks and runs amazingly. Just such a great game.

I have not even put in Hot Shots yet still. I know I am going to enjoy it so just waiting for the initial play as many launch games as I can phase to die down, and then I will enjoy it.

Also a little side note and shameless plug, we just recorded the latest Neowin Gaming podcast last night. Should be up in the next couple of days. Most of it is me talking about the Vita. Like to the point I actually apologize at the end of the podcast to the other guys for talking so much. LOL

I actually traded in Uncharted at the weekend to get Rayman instead. Just didnt enjoy it much at all and the touchy bits are a pain. However, Rayman is awesome :) and i got Wipeout too which is also amazing.

Wow Sony arent very helpful.

I bought Tiger Woods 10 and they said "It shouldnt have let you buy Tiger Woods on Vita" so i said "Well why did it let me purchase it through the vita then" and they said "I dont know but if you read the description it will have said compatible with PSP only so therefore we wouldnt be able to do anything for you".

Thanks. So I just spent ?280 on a Vita, memory card and Uncharted, loaded my account with nearly ?200 worth of credit, bought PS+ and a load of digital titles and there is nothing they can do for me, great customer service there.

Is there really that much of a diffrence of loading time between Memory card vs Vita Card.

Not really, its a matter of a second or two, if you dont have them side by side you arent going to notice.

Am I the only one who really didn't like the controls for Rayman?

Are you using the thumbs for control or the D-Pad as i found it a little annoying on the thumbs (unless its the underwater sections) so use the d-pad a lot. The controls are not bad and feel pretty ok.

Currently the only controls which are bugging me are the ones for escape plan, i swear sometimes i swipe and they ignore it, a couple of levels really want to make you chuck the Vita at a wall.

Finally got my refund for Super Stardust today, so I finally repurchased that and finally have a version that installs properly. Forgot how much fun this game can be so I definitely can see myself putting UC:GA on the back burner for a bit as I start playing more of this. I think I may enjoy it on the Vita more than the bigscreen, except when it's in 3D (looks too damn amazing and is the best looking 3D game, imo).

Literally just taking a little break from playing it right now, and nothing wrong with the controls at all on my end, in fact they seem incredibly responsive and fluid. :iiam:

Agreed, it actually may be better than it's PS3 counterpart, except as you pointed out the 3D on the PS3 is phenomenal. Pretty much my favorite of any game actually.

Really would love to get my hands on a Vita right now, but unfortunately money says no :(

Regarding the 3D on SSHD it really is amazing on the PS3 although I still think that the 3D on GT5 within a cockpit is better. Other great games I feel are KZ3 and UC3.

      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.
