IRISH BULL

No PS3 games have been confirmed for remote play yet. Though there has been hacks already created to play games like Batman, BF3, and KZ.

IGN wrote up a good article on why not to buy the 3G model. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/01/23/why-you-shouldnt-buy-a-3g-ps-vita Here is what struck me as the most interesting. The Vita's 3G Functions are Limited It'd be one thing if the 3G-enabled PS Vita provided constant, unhindered connectivity to the system's entire suite of online features, such as realtime online multiplayer and full game downloads via PSN, but that simply isn't the case. In order to regulate network strain, AT&T and Sony will only allow for basic functions to be accessed over 3G, such as web browsing, PSN messaging, asynchronous multiplayer (i.e. turn-based games) and leaderboard access. If users want to play with other players online in realtime or download a larger game (assumed to be 20MBs or more) from the PSN, they will be required to connect to a Wi-Fi network. While the ability to message friends over the PSN and check leaderboard scores anytime, anywhere is certainly helpful, we'd hardly consider it worth the added monthly expense. And to me, the only real reason to get a 3G Vita is for MP gaming. I wasn't gonna get the 3G model soley because I didn't think I would ever play online without being near a Wi-Fi hotspot.

I just read it doesn't support Adobe Flash. Which is total crap. But the article stated that Sony is thinking about adding that later. So I guess we'll see.

I keep looking for the little message "Your video will continue after this advertisement".

So in your opinion, do you think they will allow some of the free apps available to smartphones? Because I assume that the Twitter and FB app are probably the same apps that the smartphones use.

Oh, OK. I missed that. Thanks. Can you access video sites? Youtube, GT, etc. The only way to do it via the PSP is through the remote play feature. And even is, it's crappy.

I've been waiting and waiting. lol I had some questions, and I was waiting for that thread. Anywho, one question I did have was about apps. Does the PSVita have access to apps like smartphones?

Yea, that was the main factor for Ravenfall. No private rooms. Now granted, MW3 technically doesn't either. But not on purpose. They obviously just don't care about the PS3. Nothing new there. lol

Ravenfall is gonna sign up. But due to the 10 man limit roster, we have been having some discussion about the roster.

Congrats! 1st?

Here is an example of how these bills would effect gaming journalism. http://www.gamesradar.com/internet-under-sopa-and-pipa-sneak-preview/

In your article is says "Word is Zipper has a Small group working to see how feasible it is to translate the code from the PS2 to the PS3 and then report to Sony with their findings." Does that mean they are trying to remaster the PS2 game? Or does that mean they are gonna just add it to the PS2 game store?

Holy shit! That is exactly what happens to me whenever I'm in a party. I love the four bar line. Because I ALWAYS have full bars. Hey, does it make a difference if your the party leader?

Yea, I seen that too. Oh well. I love my PS3. BTW, when is your write up about the Vita gonna happen?

No, they are doing this Mass via Confrontation. Not MW3. If that's what you mean.

Nice. I had no intention of getting the 3g Vita.

Can you gimme a 1-10 on it? Just curious.

Yea, looks interesting. Shane, did you try out the Vita on your last adventure?

Not available in the U.S. anymore. But I remember seeing that one. Was it over $150?

What do you have?

But running with a cheap crappy router definitely is not helping, right? lol I'm stuck wiuth Comcast due to where I live, but I could hard wire and get a better router.

Pardon my language, but you got to be fucking kidding me!!

I still can't get the damn thing to work properly for me. It worked fine in the beginning, then unsynced my PSN ID.
