    is Netflix on the vita ?

    You can get it by logging onto the US store and downloading it, then with a bit of messing around you can get the app to go on your EU account.

    Firmware update 2.10 will be available tomorrow.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nLqnNgiBPI


    It will allow you to add folders and watch streaming video via the browser.

    EDIT: I just installed the update. I think I have found another feature I have not seen mentioned but is long overdue - next to clock, at the top right, there is a small icon showing what game card is currently in the Vita. Better late than never.

    Just bout a Vita console, not a bit of power in it. Plugged it in to power it up thinking maybe the batt's dead.
    There's no indication that there's powering charging it up,
    Should I be worried?

    Any chance you can try a different charger just to eliminate that?
    Leave it in say for a day and if still no indication of charging or power then yes - would be worried and suggest you get onto Sony.

    Once the batteries dead you need to connect to the charger and it will come back to life after 30mins. It will then take around 3 hours to fully charge.

    When I got my Vita there was a problem with the battery charger. The USB wouldn't sit into it right. If you have an android phone and you have one of those plugs with the the detachable USB cable you can plug the Vita cable into that and see if you can get a charge from that. If you've run the battery completely dead, you will need to wait until the PS button on the bottom right of the screen stops blinking and remains a constant orange before you can turn it on. Also, another thing to look at is to make sure that you are plugging the cable into the Vita the right way around. This isn't something I was doing myself but the woman in Sony told me it seemed to be a common enough problem with people.

    Does the cable going into the Vita have the PS symbol facing upwards? I've often plugged it in upside down (as it goes in both ways just as easy) only to find out it hasn't charged.

    Cheers for the reply folks,
    Just to update, I left it sitting charging for a few hours, but there was no indication that there was power doing into it.
    So I brought it back to where I bought it, told them my story and they replaced it. I was that one awkward "focker" that asked them to turn on the new one before I left the shop, just to make sure the new one worked. (I really didn't want to arrive home a second time and be disappointed).
    Thankfully the new console lit up straight away, so I finally got to grips with my Vita.
    Have to say, it's a class piece of machinery.

    Cheers for all the feedback folks!:)

    Very close, the vita has to push a lot less pixels than a PS3 but there are some slight differences depending on the game. There are some bad looking games but those are more to do with the developer than the hardware.

    Dependant on the game, but yes. There's games that allow online play and those that allow local play over wifi (between vitas no need for a local wifi network).

    Picked it up on day one but haven't played more than 30 mins as I'm hooked on Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.

    I was going to buy it but got stuck into Virtue's Last Reward as well, although I haven't even had much free time to play that either. I'll probably purchase it this week though.

    You can get the 3G model with a 4gb card and Little Big Planet in GameStop for 210 at the moment.

    I bought one on Sunday

    was there a similar deal for one without 3G by any chance?

    Still playing persona 2 - got it as part of that bundle deal.
    With playing that and Okami - lets just say my dreams the last two nights have been more than a tad weird...

    New system update was available this morning. As it was moving from 2.10 to 2.11, I wasn't expecting much. Nothing noticeable so far so it's probably just a security patch.

    It takes around 6-8 hours to really get going but it then becomes really addictive.

    Soul Sacrifice demo is available through the PS3 PS store.

    Trying the demo and carrying over your save data is the ONLY way to get “Spirits’ Heart,” so why not give it a shot if you’re already interested in the game?
