Just wondering where is the cheapest place to pick up a PSV at the moment?
I saw the Argos offer and it looks good. Anything better available?

If you have a Xtra Vision near you that is closing they are selling them on the cheap.

Ask some of the sellers if they will post to ireland. I got mine for €130 including postage from someone on there, wont get it any cheaper.

I pretty sure once it comes up as purchased then that it fine either way. For quickness if it is on your download list you can go straight to downloads and re download from there!

Yep, but if you just go on the ps store on the WWW and put it through the checkout it goes on your download list. This way you don't have to start downloading anything and you can do it while you're away from your ps3.

I do it from work when the months ps plus stuff is released.

Glad I picked up the OLED screen looks so much better than the new LCD screen, the new model is a big step backwards but I suppose they needed to make it from cheaper components to stay competitive

Can anyone recommend a good case for the Vita?

I'm looking for a slim enough one. I don't need one that holds accessories and games.

The official one is nice and connect to and wraps around the Vita rather than being placed inside it.

Andrew House on why they changed the screen.

In an interview with Nikkei, House said, "The main reason is that the LCD panel can now realize an image as high quality as that of the OLED panel." House also added that the LCD panel makes it easier to slim down the PS Vita.P

You get lots of other cool stuff with it too, not just that leather case. Screen protector,Cleaning Cloth,Wrist Strap,Game Cartridge Case,Pouch
and Official Case.

The case also has a small stand in it to position it as if you were watching something. 10/10.

Picked up the oul Vita there, had a browse though the latest games available. Looked at the Walking Dead, thought "looks amazing" download. (It really is too bloody easy to do that)
Download time...300minutes..

Just in case anyone is using it Music Unlimited just got a major face lift. Loving the new pains display for skipping through categories, library etc. Classy stuff Sony.

Edit: Also just spotted Deathmatch Village is showing as free for the full game under Indie Games in the PS Vita store. Looks fun. (not sure it this is old news)

I just turned the Vita on and it said it was ready to install. Big improvement imho. As the speakers on the Vita are a bit weak, again only my opinion, I'm going to get a dock with a lineout to feed my speakers.

Just hoping for another MU deal from Sony around December as I got the last 12 euro PA deal and its been fantastic across several pcs, macs, android, iphone, vita. Can't ask for more. Well maybe scrobbling on IOS would be cool.

I took me about an hour and a bit and tbf I wouldn't have amazing speeds - it usually gives a higher time at the beginning and rapidly goes down after that. 'Tis a great game but man, you feel sh¡tty with some of the choices you make in it. I'm only making my way through episode 3 at the moment but I'll definitely be playing it again

If I ever drop or break my vita will I still be able to buy the better version or are we restricted to the new one now?

They have ceased production on the old model, so unless you find a person selling one, you would have to get a new one, that or buy a second one now while they are still in circulation.

Jesus, you sit for an hour easily with this game!

Looks like with Sony its all about getting launch models. So far ps3 and ps vita launch models are superior to later updated versions. I wonder will ps4 will be same.

The European PS blog has a 'Weekend Debate' every week and they usually give away some prizes for the best answers. This week its about DLC and they have 5 digital copies of Killzone Mercenary for the winners. Its worth a try, no harm entering anyway and if anyone else is interested this is the link.

The Xtravision near me is closing down so they have 70% off all games. The selection wasn't great but on impulse I bought Street Fighter v Tekken, Assassin's Creed, Dragon Hunter Alliance and a case for the Vita. Cost me about 30 euros which wasn't too bad. Anyone have any experience of the multiplayer on AC? Is it any good?

OLED Vita Vs LCD Vita.

Maybe from the side LCD isn't as viewable.

Xenji

Does the Vita have a equivalent to the R4/Edge cards on the 3DS or is it not possible on it?

There's a huge difference in the colours. The LCD Vita looks washed out compared to the OLED screen. I can understand why Sony have changed but I would advise anyone to pick up an OLED Vita before they become obsolete.
