Your Vita - Pros & Cons so far Forum

Cons-

-My friend list have just 25 friends on the psvita when I actually have 73!! Really annoying as I can't send messages and compare trophys with the other 53friends , I do get no notifactions that a friends has logged in but when I click on him he's not on the friendlist :(

- It needs folders for games.

-Wi-fi seems a bit messy.

-Near says there is 35 people near me but on the map there is only 10 :S

But all in all i'm super pleased with the psvita.

Flog the car, buy the Vita 

It's a temptation, I won't lie.

Have you had a text sent to your Vita from Vodafone yet? I was getting an error message on the website (you don't have to do this on your Vita, BTW) until I got a message from them that welcomed me to the network and had some nonsense about rewards. Then I was able to top up, and about 12 hours later (this morning) got the message with the PSN code for Wipeout in it.
I've now turned off 3G, so that the console has to use WiFi.

Sorry for further questions….but was your code sent via email, or to the Vita? And if it was to the Vita, will I need to have Wi-Fi turned off so that 3G is active, or is that just for the initial registration?

Thanks

@DrNate – this is true!

Another Pro for the 3G Vita – not that its too useful, and may be obvious – but you can send text messages to it. So at least I can send amusing or abusive text messages to my friends with 3G Vitas!

Pros -

1. Its shiney!
2. Near is fantastic. Surprised by how many people around me are playing on Vita
3. I can now score goals on Fifa because of the rear touch controlls.

Cons -

1. Froze up earlier, turned it off, put it in my coat pocket and when I got it back out again, the blue PS light was flashing and it wouldnt switch back on again. Seemed to have frozen while turning off.

PROTIP – If you get this, Hold down the power button for about 60 seconds and the back end menu will pop up (just like the PS3 one, and you can restart from there.

I was going to give it a while to see what I find wrong and the first thing that comes to mind is the content manager it takes hours to copy like 400 music files and with the PSP I bet it would've been quicker.. must've been hours even copying pictures over seems to take a bit too long. Its a shame its not like the PSP where you could just add, create folders and its really annoying its the same thing that annoys me with the Ipod, pain in the ass to sort files with these programs that is forced on us…

Yeah, I hope the PS3 also gets a patch to include any Vita trophies. After all it says "Trophy Collection" not "PS3 Trophy Collection". I'm sure it'll happen at some point, along with the gamercards.

Indeed, its a great bit of kit! And when you think the PSP eventually produced amazing games such as GTA, Gran Turismo and MGS Peace Walker – I'm very excited about the possibilities with Vita!

My main con in that I still havent played it yet 

What days is your 18th mate? Not long now?

Well assuming its not going to be wrapped – since you already know what it is – you could request that its fully charged and ready for use when you're given it!

Also, since you have time, get yourself a case – it comes with nothing and since it has a rear touch screen too, you should buy a decent case ready to protect it as soon as it comes out the box.

Otherwise, all I can say is that I hope it goes quickly for you as its a great console.

Can you take your mind off it and play some more Dead Space 2? Is that your next Platinum goal?

Well I hope you have a good day, and the family don't want to celebrate the milestone birthday too much with you (so you can play some Vita)

Yeah, a case can be priceless!!

Dead Space 2 will be a nice Plat to hit the double figures with!! You using the Force Gun?
