Gravity Rush is amazing.

Agree! The feeling of freedom-to-explore is better even than any GTA game.

I read that there has been an extended PSN maintenance and if you hadn't logged into the network within the past 5 days there would be disruptions.

20 euro vouchers just affect your wallet so once you top it up with two, you're wallet will be 40 and you can use that for anything

But seriously are they really going to know? It's not as if i'm going to advertise the fact that I'm using one.

You can take the chance of course but you run the risk of being embarrassed when the steward confiscates your computer for the remainder of the flight or until she can issue you with a formal warning and a fine. Believe me, there are strict airline laws in regard to this sort of thing (and many for good reason), it might just be best to avoid the embarrassment - put the Vita on flight mode - and confine yourself to just a few hours play.

Definitely! It's a great price, and lots to do in the game.

I'm picking up a Vita tomorrow (And a 3DS XL - I'll be broke ).

Is it worth getting a 3G Vita over a WiFi Vita? I have a MiFi contract with Three that I'm not using (60GB a month for €30) and I could just throw that SIM into the Vita.

While it might be nice to have... so far there is little point. Nothing really takes advantage of it. Personally, I just use my phone as a hotspot if I need to connect on Vita.

It would be criminal not to get it!

That game defines the console in my opinion (at least at this early stage)

Can't agree more with animaX's response about Gravity Rush. It is hands down one of the most original titles in a long while, and is pretty much the first vita console classic in my opinion for gameplay, story etc. It's simply a must buy but check out the demo first if you're not too sure

Yeh takes a bit of getting used to, but by the time you're halfway through the game you should be flying (no pun intended i swear) at it

I would almost advise people against playing the demo! It is so restricted - doesn't at all give you the sense of freedom that the full game gives.

Have you all given up on Unit 13 or has no one been connecting to SEN lately.

The early missions have a few score on the leader boards from my friends list but not many of the later ones.

Got mine today. Really liking it. Uncharted is playing ok but the unit 13 demo froze my vita.. Did that happen to anyone else? :P

Also Currys&PC World have the following games for only 20 euro each online:

SONY WipEout 2048

SONY Little Deviants

SONY Lumines

SONY Rayman Origins

SONY Reality Fighters

SONY Uncharted: Golden Abyss

http://www.pcworld.ie/category/Sony-PSVita-Hardware-and-Games/182.7

Am I going to find them cheaper anywhere else?
The PSN Store seems a bit expensive for most games..

No. The memory card you transfer the game to would need to be set up with your US account, and your Vita would need to be reset [factory reset].
