Hmmm. It was then it stopped charging but the battery wasn't full. These airport charging stations may not be powerful enough or it's because I was using the USB port charger instead of the regular plug
one.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

USB port can either charge (I think it might have to be all the way off) or power the system but not both, it's not powerful enough. If you find a way to cut the data lines you can fool the Vita into try to play and charge from USB, but there's likely a good possibility of the thing getting flaky on you if power dips on your USB source. USB 2.0 spec is 100mA per device, 3.0 is 150mA, USB 2.0 can support 5 devices per port for 500mA, USB3.0 can support 6 at 900mA total. Vita's charger outputs 1500mA.

Ok that makes sense. It was charging fine with it off but wouldn't charge when it was on. I'll just use the regular plug if I want to do both. Thanks!

Was just telling Jaaaaaaaaaaaasoooooooooooooon that I ordered one of these Skins for my PS Vita - I'm anal and this not only looks good (IMO) but it'll help prevent from scratching, especially on the back.


PS Vita Skin


Here's one of the installation videos (they have several of them)

I really like that black one... but damn... if it wasn't 100% PERFECT on there, it would drive me insane.

PlayStation Vita Firmware 1.65


Update 1.65 has four minor updates:

• A new "Notification Alert" option can be found in the Vita's settings menu, allowing you to turn on and off alerts as you see fit
• Power Save settings will get an "After 10 Minutes" option
• LiveArea will be updated with a new "arrow icon" that will point out new activities
• And the PS Vita's keyboard will now support a caps lock option

Abouts to get my Vita in the next week or so.

Besides the obvious Show and Uncharted. What other games? And why?

[Chef Matt]

Hot shots golf. Tons of unlockables, replay value, and just classic playstation gaming.

I'd also like to add MotorStorm RC (it still might be free), Rayman Origins (game really showcases the Vita - absolutely gorgeous!), and Virtua Tennis which is another beautiful game in the visual department and most importantly, it's a lot of fun!

Hadn't seen a reccommendation for Virtua Tennis (plus it's been AGES since I played a tennis game) - how does it stack up to the PS3 version?

Never played the PS3 version.
