I haven't really used RP before, so I don't really know how it works in that regard. I was hoping to activate MLB.TV this way, but like everything else except my PSX games and music, everything seems to be unavailable.

My understanding is Private is just using the wireless from the Vita and the wireless from the PS3 to make the connection. Good for close quarters at home. Internet is just that, it connects over the internet. Yesterday at work just for fun I kept turning on and off my PS3 at home while I was at work. Wife finnaly texted me to tell me to stop it.

I don't think MLB will work this way. I have not been able to use the other video services like that yet

If I take out the VITA case that is velcroed inside I believe the VITA with grips attached would fit but not sure. I'll check it when I get home.

This is the same case I got I told you guys about. Great for vacations, and on the go. Sheesh.

The problem is, I have a case, and headphones. But no Vita.

Just much easier than having to swap out the carts for games I'll be playing quite a bit on the device. That PDP case is like a over sized brick that you can knock someone out with if they tried to rob you. LOL! Hoping to find something smaller as an alternative but sturdy. How are the screen protectors at BBY?

The detachable, inside case is soft but looks to be very protective.

Haha I used to do that with my PSP. Drove my wife nuts. And with the camera attached to the PS3 I could check out what was going on in the living room.


In other news my Vita has shipped and is due Monday!

I just got this text from my wife:

"I really think you should buy a Vita".

I'm one of those people that stalk my prey for weeks before I hit "Confirm".

Now, what kind of memory card should I get. Is it possible to get buy on the 4G cards or do I need to spring for something bigger?

[Burns11]

You could probably get by with just a 4GB, but it really needs a bigger card. I have 2 demos, the three AR games, all apps and the initial setup for 3 games (Uncharted, HSG, Rayman) and my 4GB is over half full. Personally I am going to use the 4GB card until I find a good deal on at least 16 GB, if not 32.

On a side note, out of warranty repair through Sony is $130, for those thinking about an extended warranty.

Thinking of picking up the 1-year Accidental Protection Plan through the PS Store.

LOL, yeah I think it was something like that. It was the "beep" of the PS3 starting that spooked her!

So, I'm on day three with the Vita. I returned my B2G1 deal back to Best Buy as I was a little unsure of the games I would actually play. Plus, the fact of spending $250 for the Vita, and an additional $90 seemed like quite an investment. I know for certain once The Show releases, that'll be pretty much occupy all my Vita time. So, I elected to set up a gamefly account and rent one game at a time.

In the meantime, I played the demo of Fifa, and I just couldn't recapture that initial excitement I had playing it the first couple times. If I'm home one the couch, I'd much rather play my PS3 and Fifa 12.....which is what I ultimately did. I proceeded to play NBA 2K12 after that and had a more enjoyable time. So, what I have discovered is that more than likely I'm always going to opt to play on the PS3 than the Vita when I'm at home. I suppose I might play a little while watching a game on tv...we'll see.

I didn't mean for this to come off as downer post, or a rant, but where I think this system is obviously going to shine is when I'm away from the home. Maybe laying in bed perhaps.

Or maybe I just haven't found that game to capture my heart. Thank goodness for demos, because it convinced me that soccer on the portable is not my cup of tea. Nor is Lumines anymore as I suppose I'm a bit too used to the cheap mobile games I can play on the iPad. I'm looking forward to my rental of Virtua Tennis 4 and Hot Shots Golf still has me quite intrigued.

My excitement is still there for the Vita, but I feel as though I will reap more enjoyment out of it if I take it on the go.....as is the main reason for owning one, right?!
