Hardware I got my first hands on with Vita Yesterday, see what i thought!

[muckers]

Ill pick one up if I see a Bioshock for it (or TF2, which is much less likely)

You're in luck; a Bioshock game has been announced. :-)

Whether it'll be Infinite or a new game entirely remains to be seen.

They said it's an original game and not a port of 1/2/Infinite.

Although I really don't like BioShlock honestly.

Wait COD 3?
If they are going to be remaking a cod game they should of chosen world at war.
or Modern Warfare 1.

I'd definitely bite on World at War. The European campaign was solid although the Pacific one sucked. Still, if it had crossplay with the PS3 WaW (which people probably still play) and included all the zombie stuff then I'd be set.

Although BlOps would definitely be more preferred.

thanks for the reports.

even if I wont be buying, it's good to know something about the new system.

We got our store one delivered today. We get all the launch titles, but as downloads and as our store doesn't have wi-fi we couldn't actually play any games.

I'll add my impressions in this thread rather than start a new one, and I'll try and be brief.

First impressions were that it's big, and it's nearly all screen; the buttons and sticks are quite small. The system feels really nice in the hands; very comfortable to hold, and not heavy (surprising characteristics after my first impressions about its size) but them buttons seem a bit too small - we shall see when we get some games on 'em tomorrow.

It's a very, very nice screen but a bit underwhelming now we've been treated to the iPhone/iPad screens but it's on a par; the resolution is delicious.

The cameras are both great - for photos they beat the iDevices hands down. Haven't tried videos yet, but iPhone/iPad videos are notoriously good for a tiny cam.

The menu interface is very similar to the iOS setup. Swipe through screens of apps organised how you want. Except they're not squares, they're bubbles, and you swipe up and down as opposed to left and right.

Finally, the memory cards are really tiny. Like a baby MicroSD card.

Oh and it is a fingerprint magnet. We took it out the box and it instantly needed a wipe. Screen protectors will be a must but just gotta hope they don't diminish the beauty of the OLED screen.

iDevice like the iPod touch 4G maybe? Ps vita has 1.3 Megapixels camera,
to me,image quality is a bit wash out, and it cannot compete against the phone 4s, which has an 8 Megapixels.

Spoiler: 4s

Scaled down and resized more than half the image resolution. If not, the size is about 3Megs.

There is no video recording on the vita yet. Maybe in the future firmware updates, like the 3DS.

Ah yes, I'm basing my experience of iDevice photos off the Touch 4, which is what I have. I didn't know the iPhone's camera was better; and seeing a Vita photo off the unit itself and onto a PC (as opposed to looking at it on the device) it definitely looks 'meh' to say the least.

I got to play one today in GAME and I was very impressed at the games but the console not so much. The screen is amazing but the sticks and buttons are TINY, like so tiny I don't know why they didn't cut half inch off the screen to make NORMAL sized buttons they are crazy small when compared to the size of the overall machine.
The sticks are also REALLY SMALL and very sensitive, more so than a joypad.
I'm going to keep my preorder but I wouldn't be surprised if the Vita Slim has larger buttons and sticks and TV out etc.

Off topic but I got a brand new black Wii for £60!
Time for some Xenoblade and Zelda!!!

They have started the PS Vita advertisements in Belgium too! There's a PS Vita available to play very close to me, I'll go to the place tomorrow. Hopefully it's actually there (it's the first day it's on display) and not too many people are there.
Can't wait!

EDIT: Played it for a good amount of time, there was absolutely no one else who knew about this I think, the PSV was in mint condition
All the demo's were enjoyable but nothing really seized me. Only thing that could do that was Motorstorm RC, but for some reason they use the 2 thumbsticks to drive your car, nothing else. Let's hope you can change the driving styles in the full game, because now it was quite a bummer....

FIFA also played very well, but only with normal controls. I found the touchscreencontrols lacking depth, it was handy for some casual passing but not for sending a guy deep, what exactly the biggest pro is IMHO of these control. Just didn't feel 100%.
Otherwise, great great port.
