Not when you turn it off, only when you leave on standby.

Is it like psp though that when u flick the power button it goes on stanby but if u want to actually turn it off you have to hold the switch?

Hit the power button once for standby. Hold it down and it will ask you to power off.

If anyone wants Marvel Vs Capcom (retail copy), I'll trade for either a €20 PSN voucher or a €20 Vodafone top up, to get Wipeout. First come, first served! I'll post out or can collect locally.

What are my other options though?

i checked hmv, shotpo etc and they all are same price of around 240-260 for a similar deal.

the best deal i can find is amazon but that is infact only £15 cheaper then my mates deal and doesnt include fifa, just ubi soft games plus Virtual tennis

I'm certainly not the font of all knowledge. I was just saying that I can't be certain there isn't a better option out there, because I don't know all the options. It sounds like you've assessed most of your options and seem to conclude the Sainsbury deal is the best, so essentially that's your answer.

If you are definitely purchasing, I'd just go with that deal as I really don't think you'll later come across another deal that's so much better it makes you regret your choice.

What's the story with the pre-order discounted game emails?

I successfully entered my pre order code online on monday night and the on screen information said I would get an email with my discount details closer to the launch and an email with the avatar crap within 72 hrs. I haven't recieved either yet.

What's everyone else's experience in that regard?

VLC can do this I think.....I'll give it a shot tonight and report back

Taltos

Think Handbrake can also do the necessary here but been a while since I used it.

Ipod videora is good, and it works for my PSP.

If you really want to see what vita can do, then you have to see rayman origins! It's fantastic game and it looks just savage on vita! Those colors!!! I newer knew there are so many colors!!!!

If anyone wants a cheap but brilliant game on the Vita [which will give you the PS3 version for free then] get Motorstorm RC.

Absolutely brilliant.

Vita came from amazon, had the free shipping so that was very fast.

What a fantastic little machine!

The screen is utterly gorgeous and I've not even played anything that graphically impressive yet. Twin sticks are just about near perfect as far as I'm concerned and I'm really looking forward to playing games that truly utilise them.

However, now the bitching ...

During initial setup, I couldn't connect to my wifi connection. After about 5 mins of concern, it dawned on my that the football match that was streaming on the laptop right next to me had been buffering consistently since around the same time as I turned on my vita. After walking across the room with the PSV, I connected instantly and the match continued streaming without issue. They had been about 2-3 ft away from each other but seemed to clearly have affected each other's connection. I haven't had time to test this any further, but if anyone is having wifi connection issues, check if they have another wifi device connecting in close proximity.

My vita has frozen over 5 times during the time I've used it so far. Twice when trying to open and connect using 'Near', which I still haven't managed to launch and use successfully. Another time when I left it go idle while charging and it wouldn't resume. And another couple of times at least where I don't recall what I was doing specifically. I know there's going to be bugs day one, so I'm not hugely worried yet, but fingers crossed I don't continue to have such issues regularly in the next few weeks.

PS Plus free minis are downloadable but will not launch and give an error code. Apparently this is happening for everyone though, so this is likely to be fixed.

Annoying that the browser doesnt support flash, but they haven't ruled that out for the future yet, so fingers crossed.

Overall, I'm very happy so far. It really is a fab piece of kit. If anyone is still on the fence about a purchase and the cost isn't something that will affect rent payments etc, then I'd highly recommend one.

Same here. Wasn't expecting it until Monday, then the delivery estimate from Amazon was tomorrow but it arrived today.

You don't need wifi to set up or play games from disc/card. Obviously you would need it to access the online store.
