All I have to say is playing Super Stardust Delta and checking out the Hustle Kings demo while on conference calls at work may very well be the reason the Vita was invented. :shiftyninja: :laugh:

Hustle Kings is good, you should pick it up. It's one of the titles where you get the PS3/Vita versions for the price of one.

I also went on NEAR earlier and someone had left me/traded a piece of treasure from Uncharted. Not sure how they done it, but I do know gifts and challenges get shared through NEAR.

I am definitely considering picking it up, just no need right now, I have so many games to play on it as it is.

Can you link to that neogaf thread again with the wallpapers? Definitely want to check some of them out.

Hot Shots Golf is awesome. Love this game.

Also downloading Super Stardust and Lumines. I have a feeling I'll be sleeping late tonight. :laugh:

I have yet to even check out Hot Shots yet, I own the game outright (meaning on cartridge). Figure I will save it for last, as I know I am going to enjoy it. (Y) Congrats BTW.

@ Rudy - I found the download speeds started off slow then picked up and took nowhere near as long as they originally said they were. Hopefully the same happens for you.

Also I have to say, a whole lot more members wound up picking up the Vita than I thought actually would. Very cool indeed. :yes:

I actually got sick, have a pretty crappy cold, so my plan is to head to bed soon, bring the Vita with me, and start playing some Rayman. Just so thoroughly impressed with the thing so far. It really provides a true gaming experience. Knew it would, but nice that my hopes have been confirmed.

I guess it should be expected since it just got released, I'm sure a lot of people are on it downloading demos and games

edit: yea it picked up. Went to eat something in the kitchen and came back and they were all done :)

Anyone else have retail Uncharted, every time i turn my Vita on it says Uncharted installing please wait and the icon jumps like its just been installed. Its already been updated to 1.01. Its a minor niggle but a bit annoying.

Yeah, I think it is just reading the card after you turn the system back on. It does seem unnecessary to tell you it's reading the card, and the icon bouncing around is silly.

Larry you somehow left me an Avatar for Hustle Kings in NEAR :p

That's me now received two gifts in it!

It's crazy how smooth/good looking it is in comparison with the PS3 version. Pretty much 1:1.

yeah rayman does the same, just reading the card on startup,

As I'm on a budget 4GB card until i get paid I'm having to really manage memory, one thing i haven't been able to find is a way to find out how much each app/demo/game is using on the card. I had a look in settings and application settings but it only lists any DLC or add ons, it doesn't list how much the game/demo is actually using, anyone know how to find this info out?

Also it appears that I'm part of the group that can't get near to work, it seems to be affecting the wifi users more (which i am) but googlemaps and near won't work with an error message stating that locational data could not be found, my machine is connected ok to my wifi network it just can't get the data. A few other forums have said stepping outside and trying it then, which ill try later, i hope this gets resolved as I'm envious of all of the near type activities going on and listed in the forum.

Ive tried the free AR games and they are really good for freebies. The tabletop football is probably the best, if your in the UK this is basically subuteo (sorry for the spelling) and plays exactly the same, with flicks for passing and moving the players. It was quite impressive, you use all six AR cards to setup not only the football pitch but also stadiums and the score board, as said it's a lot of fun and well worth the download.

So far I luckily have not had any of the issues mentioned in this thread. All seems to be working normal for me. No second installs, NEAR works, although I still have no idea what is really going on with it LOL and generally speaking, all has been smooth, which I did expect to have a bit more issues. I do have WiFi version, so far only been at my house and work, which at work I did not connect to the Wireless, so really just been connected at home.

One thing I was thinking of doing is giving the Vita a Static IP for my home network. As it currently lists my Nat as Type 2. Anyone seen any walkthroughs on that, such as ports that need to be forwarded, etc.? I am assuming it is probably just the same ones as the PS3, but would like to know for sure.

My WiFi vita tethers to my Desire through HTC Hotspot absolutely fine. No need for 3G version :p

Love how the screen looks, even when playing something like Hustle Kings the colours look very vivid.

Type 2 is the NAT you want.

For the first part, the only way I've figured out to check that stuff is while working with the content manager while it's connected to a PC/PS3. I'm quite sure then it shows the size of all the apps that you're able to delete off their.

As to the second part, I have that problem at my house about 50% of the time, yet at work it's able to pull the data no problem. Not sure what causes it here but it seems to be a bit of hit and miss for whatever reason (just tried it again now and it says it couldn't obtain it). Though like I said it's mainly at home I've having this problem as it's been able to retrieve it just fine connecting to hotspots around the downtown.

update: - found the app/game/demo size,

go into the home screen rearrange / edit mode, click the three dots next to an app and one of the options apart from delete is information, it will then tell you the file size as well as the updated date, version etc..

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By LiLmEgZ · Posted

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
