For the number 5 tips : you need to hold the front touch screen when the game rolling :) Then you will see the menu appear.

1. great handheld gaming machine!!! robust and promissing!! hoping getting full support!!!
2. fix the browsing issues to attract older guys who like playing your..darkest games available in the market while enjoying a cool browsing experience!!!
3. like…+ LilRican had already mentioned it would be ground breaking to be free to opt between the touch feature of this gorgeous screen and the use of physical buttons (cross pad, buttons and sticks) for browsing experience..just like ps3!!

…mobility ,the fact that is comparatively large to handle only with the touch all the time, will make the use of the buttons an oasis and the freedom to opt between touch and physical a..priviledge of a unique gaming tool!!!
Just do not miss this opportunity to be pioneers, with this product!!!

..as for games just keep on playing!!!

Hoping to pass these thoughts …internally!!!

cheers!!!

I equally purchase games/stuff on JPN and US regions. Switching accounts is very annoying and requires a second memory card. This is my only gripe about this system. Otherwise great system. I wish you can freely switch between accounts or at least 2 accounts per memory card. :(

@Daxxifer yes in gaming backwards compatibility has been the norm when the format stays the same. PCs use disk and CDs the format didn’t change. Even Blu-rays are a similar type of tech making backwards compatibility feasible. The PSP used umds and the Vita uses memory cards they are different formats. The only way to use it is if the Vita had a UMD player which would have changed the cost of the Vita. The change the Vita had is similar to game carts to disc format (CDs,Dvds and Blu rays) it just can’t be backwards compatible. When the happens, you have accept it and re-buy you game if you want it. Just as Beetle, Elvis fans had to since the 60s. Micheal Jackson fans will have to if move from disc and digital downloads to say…a future medium like I don’t know…crystal? Anything is possible. The heart of the matter is that you can still play your UMDs. Just use your PSP. Just as I used my VCR for years until my library of Dvds exceeded my tapes and I re purchased any movies I still wanted. And Holographic crystals come along I do it all over again.

2 Questions -

1. Will there be a YouTube app for the PS Vita?
2. When will the next handful of PSP games be available on the PS Vita? Never had a PSP, patapon 3 always looked interesting…

Thanks in advance.

@ wartech: when i bought warcraft 3, it worked on my iMac. then it also worked on my PC laptop. and my Emac

and my friends gaming rig by another company altogether.

the problem is, people are accustomed to buying a game and being able to continue to use it. consoles need to adapt to what people expect from tech these days.

and most Blue ray plays brd, dvd, and cd. There is a point when a blatant cash grab is a blatant cash grab.

$1.29 for songs. Another idea I had would be an app to directly access the playstation blog. And why not add podcast to the PS store like pulse. Another app to the PlayStation forum. This would add all the PlayStation Vita owners to Sony based properties instead of just increasing Facebook, Twitter and eventually Skype’s numbers. I don’t know what your numbers are like now. But think about it with 1.2 million unit (unofficially) sold. Many of which happy with the Vita and giving positive spin on it. While your at it why not add the 75 million PS3 fan base to the party with their own apps to PS Blog and forums. Why force us to go to PCs, cell phones, tablets and Mp3. Players. We should be finding it easier to use Sony devices to communicate with Sony and its other customers. Well that’s my idea. I’m going to put my android phone down now and play with my vita and PS3.
