CheapyD's Playstation Vita Thoughts & OS Tour

[eddierios831]

ITS BECAUSE YOU HAVE CHEAP ASS INTERNET!

[theguideofme]

worth getting if i have 4s and ipad 2?

[TOGxFTW]

The PS Vita OS is crippled honestly, but it's hardware specs i.e. The RAM, make it all the worth while as we can voice chat and play music in the background with out it ending those processes!

[Doctorchops]

Damn proprietary memory cards...I remember spending an assload on MemoryStick DUO for my PSP, then having the prices bottom out like a month later..

That was of course AFTER the size increased from 64mb or whatever it was to xGB's.

[qubaczek]

clear thic ps:D

[99thematrix]

I dont think its the vita i think its the internet conection thats slow.

[seventhserpent]

@99thematrix agreed! iv seen other videos of the vita and they have very fast responses to apps like twitter & near. your vita took way to long to update things, which i think is your internet connection. but i believe the vita is only in its beginning stages, wait until system updates start coming out and the system will get much better.

[99thematrix]

entertained atleast. thanks for that any way. also the browsers pretty shitty hopefully we will get a firmware update soon with some html5 also. i imported my vita from white rabit. cheapest place to import from. Im wondering if his vita is slow network wise because of his internet speed. mine isnt slow just as speedy as my ps3 in the sinse that your psn network settings work fine. that sucks yours loads like that for ever.

[99thematrix]

wow you might want to get used to navigating through the vita before makeing a video/tutourial. also have you not used touchscreen before? it was funny when you were saying it was loading and it really wasnt all you had to do is scroll the opisite way with the touchscreen. near is mainly to connect with people in your local area and see what people are playing and check out ratings of games and on lol. play around with this shit before you make the next video lol. funny so i guess we were

[NateTheApe]

Oh boy, can't wait to get my bundle on the 15th! Thanks for the vids CheapyD!

[1995metalman]

@skyrobotv It sucks n

[weezow]

It's for games not the Internet if your getting this for a web browser your dumb

[liamlunasee]

@weezow Nobody would get a handheld console for an internet browser, but the idea of an internet browser while you're gaming is fantastic, if you are stuck on a game you can ewasily swap out to the browser and search for tips, unfortunately you can't do that on the vita, suprisingly you can on the 3DS though.

[getstew]

I can't wait to not buy this!

[skyrobotv]

How's the battery life on this thing?

[mynameskimmy]

@skyrobotv 3-5 hrs.

[pivotkid85]

omg why do companies keep making hardware with that stupid annoying oily finger-printing material. all handhelds and phones should have that fine plastic material thats on the ps3 slim, or the psp 1000, or even the first DS. this glass type thing is annoying as fuck

[liamlunasee]

@pivotkid85 because it damages and scratches easily, its also old technology, although it is more precise.

[jc3fresh]

to speed it up a little close some apps

[nikobellic163]

I really think the reason it's really slow as well getting signed out of Psn since you're using a japp account plus I'm happy that Japan got it first gives them time to work out the kinks come the 15th!

[NotToImply]

"If you need to play the best possible games while you're out this is the way to go but other than that..." erm, no, no buts. Thats what the thing is for.

[NotToImply]

"you dont have to wait..." -- "please wait" :P

[CrazyFreakBeast]

i think your wifi is really BAD

[zeoinprodictions]

Who Else Went To CheapAssGamer After This ?

[J0NMARTINEZ]

they have trophies for this what i never new that im going to buy this

[DiabolicDNA]

The circles dont do it for me either, I hope they have some custom dashboard interface themes we can download at some point.

[Vapphelp]

I don't like it.. Better Sony Makes some fridges i case of the Vita

[TheNatureFilms]

The internet test doesn't make sense, as that involves how FAST your Internet is LOL Failz

[TheNatureFilms]

Good jon man, I WISH I was partener.. I work so hard haha to

[artz900]

Of course sony is going to make a lot of money, that was their plan in the first place. the only reason they priced the Vita at $249/$299 is because of the expensive memory cards. this is what makes me pissed off about Sony. They're never going to give you a "true and worthy" deal.

[someonefarted100]

Somethings downloading in the backround look at the top left. Even when your on the home screen.

[someonefarted100]

Is your wi-fi good at home?

[wierdANDwonderful]

are the games all region??

[artz900]

@wierdANDwonderful yes, as of right now, all Playstation consoles/handhelds are region free

[YoungAndEpic]

whens the giveaway

[pzoomrock318]

i just got a psvita u get it from amazon but scroll down and click japan at the homepage of amazon

[Zicospy121280]

Dude just admitted that you're a Microsoft fan boy and you are going o hate on every sony's product.

[DannyC440]

It's actually faster than than the iPhone 4s because it's quad core but the software lets it down. That's why a slow mac works as good as a fast pc because the software is better

[mrbikiniinspector1]

whats better, livin in the states, or japan??

[drag0nfig0]

@mrbikiniinspector1 It all depends on personal experience...neither is "better," it just depends on who you are and what you want from your life.

[mynameskimmy]

Hey CheapyD, if you dont like the Vita I'll be more than happy to take it lol :)

[Kramgnauh]

God that memory card is hella small, I'll be afraid to lose it

[CheapyD]

@redice1024 Nope, you are mistaken. It closes uncharted no matter how few apps you have open.

[neokidsly]

@bllau Even so ive seen other videos that have people who live

Japan and have better network than he had

[rugsyofspurs]

why no soound?

[rugsyofspurs]

@rugsyofspurs never mind just my shitty speakers...

[neokidsly]

@CheapyD are you in Japan or using it in the U.S. because that might explain your network troubles?

[bllau]

@neokidsly He lives in Tokyo

[PerplexityStudios]

Wait a minute so there just so happened to be 108 people playing ps vita nearby?

[EpicMo18]

@PerplexityStudios bla bla fa la la bla

[ultimatepower]

So it's a new system and you can still get kicked out of PSN just like on the PS3 and on top of that downloading anything still takes it's sweet time. *sigh*

[NintEllzolo]

I'm a Nintendo fan but the Vita has to be the nicest-looking console...ever!

[ModestBoxBread]

Your right I rather use my smart phone than the PlayStation Vita. My Droid Incredible is basically a mobile computer like you said. :-)

[JayFeliceW]

The fingerprints annoy me and with the prices of the vita, game, memsticks, when it adds up its about 330 bucks. And I doubt I have 20 bucks to spare for a screen protector. Those fingerprints annoy the f out of me! Why is it so hard for them to make a touch screen fingerprint resistance screen? They'll probably have it in the 2nd versions of the Vita!

[mynameskimmy]

Whaa! Seriously, all u really have on an iphone is the web and some miningames or apps while on here u have ur own ps3 on the go.

[rangerakimbo613]

I bet u get this a lot but u sound a lot like vin diesel

[avidwriter]

Now that random tweet with the weird picture makes sense.

[BLOOD1MONEY]

simple shit brain shit question...is this like the psp touch?.

[jAX0202]

Would've liked to see some Uncharted or some gaming related features. Maybe next time!

[mota411]

C'mon sony!!!

[greyman88]

could you try cross game chat and give a review on that please

[mickeymouse12678]

Please wait...

Please wait...

Please wait...

Wow that looks annoying. The console is still awesome-looking, though. :)

[1249mexico]

cool

[FrogJon]

This is why I'm never an early adopter of product. I almost always wait for a later version of the product, because the first version of pretty much all gadgets/electronics need time to improve (and lower in price).

[elmaschingon142006]

Imagine playing BF3 on it EPIC

[littlebigmarc]

Indeed better than iPhone browser. Don't be a isheep

[hWarlock234]

Can you please show us some remote play with Killzone, and maybe Uncharted 3 is it's compatible?

[killamonkey]

Looks awesome, but I mainly want one for the games. I'm personally waiting for the inevitable second model they'll come out with and for a decent price drop.

[dylanhellems]

That sounds like elevator music

[SUCKRPUNCHED]

will it have netflix? that would be cool

[Gaigetech]

you annoy me, it seems like you've never owned a psp or a ps3, or a sony product. the iphone 4s I might ass is horribly slow to browsing. Finally you suck at reviews

[IpetTiger]

dude get a faster internet

[LadyDustBunny]

The good thing is that they can always send out software updates to help with these issues. I agree that I seems like the psvita has some awesome capabilities, but the OS is very counter intuitive.

[akumous]

Sony always make good hardware but their OS left a lot to be desired...they should have commissioned an outside company to take care of their OS.

[blaze115600]

MORE "EAT ME JAPAN" VIDEOS!!! :(

[zero110100]

Ipod touch is $199.Pay $70 more and you get buttons.Buying one,not day one but for Pac Man CE and DX.

[ejpbaylon]

Looks like the OS will be even better as time goes on just like iOS and Android.

[trazac]

That's one smooth-ass browser

[crazyballz96]

do i have anything on my bookmarks? (yes porn sites)

[redice1024]

It closed uncharted because it was last of your 8 most recent background apps. If you would have closed a few before uncharted that wouldnt happen

[Toefl101]

Hopefully its not like the psp and i wont use it for a day then leave it on my shelf and completely forget about it.

[GeneralDisc0mf0rt]

It has some cool features but it's going to fail because the games are too expensive. $1 iOS apps win everytime. Sony and Nin need to get onboard with an app store.

[eatcarpet]

What's the battery life like.

[TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

Something about that menu screen reminds me of the Dreamcast.... I guess that's not a bad thing.

[Mariohenri90]

RIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER

[Madblaster89]

@Mariohenri90 don't get to excited only 3 maps.

[Mariohenri90]

@Madblaster89 lmao

[bboimarc619]

Nice vid cheapy, did not cover any gameplay.

[Nightmar3xz]

I can't see well in the video, but it seems to have lower res than other handhelds such as iPhone 4s and HTC phones. Is that true? And I don't like it that it brings you to regular webpages rather than mobile webpages.

[humppamonsteri]

With that pessimistic attitude anything can be made look bad, and saying it's not intuitive is little misleading if one hasn't used the feature even once. Otherwise, yeah, It tries to be smart phone a lot, but it isn't, and the software isn't as smooth as you can see in some smart phones, which is to be expected though. We will see how it will fare, I can't tell at all.

[LancerJak]

I'll buy one when there is a game that I want to play. Don't need to be a hipster and show off my new toy to get attention.

[TaintedUndertaker]

@LancerJak A hipster would buy an old 90s phone and show that off, not this.

[thefurquan101]

2 EXPENSIVE :"(

[ssptg]

Seems like we just need to give Sony feedback, and an improvement could be a firmware update away.

[duffman48]

How long did it take you to learn Japanese? and did you take classes?

[CynicalVision]

"How else would it know"

The Vita has built in GPS, that's how. :P

[LittleWildman]

Cheapy, could you give us a little gameplay video of Uncharted: Golden Abyss please?

[raf888]

hows the battery cheapster?

[toastersXftwX]

Are you going to give the others ones away? how/when is he going to do it?

[toastersXftwX]

No push for apps like messaging? that kind of killed my buy for it

[MrDavidPorges]

Its a really good system. You dont have to compare it to the 3DS! Their both really good on their own days!

[SpudCommando]

It seems like you don't know your way around on the OS.

[legoricardo1000]

What should i get a ps3 slim 160 gb or the ps vita???

[NDSIser]

@legoricardo1000

Depends on whether you want an actual PS3 or a Ps3 you can take anywhere.

[toastersXftwX]

@legoricardo1000 ps3. try to get a bundle. Worth much more than the vita. Vitas battery is shit

[11stoutd]

Try it with a better internet connection next time. Make sure nothing is using wi-fi and no downloads are going.

[LittleWildman]

@11stoutd He lives in Japan. Finding a better internet connection than the one you currently have in Japan is like trying to find the Holy Grail.

[total90abr]

wow imagine minecraft on this...

[mantas1111000]

@total90abr Probably the same as Xperia Play(two sticks, a touch screen, etc.)

[ravenshield56]

@total90abr Even shitter! :D

[GreatBritishGamers]

I will get a PSVita if I can use cheaper 3rd party Memory sticks. Otherwise I will not be purchasing this, Sony.

[cupofrice]

This has no appeal to me, Vita will fail, the phone market is dominating portable gaming.

[emecee69]

@cupofrice its gonna fail cus it dosent appeal to you?? shit dude i forgot you represented the entire population of the world lol.

[cupofrice]

@emecee69 How silly of you to forget that. No wonder you can't be as great as me.

[manuwickrama]

@cupofrice Vita is not made for Angry birds.......

[manuwickrama]

@cupofrice Vita is not made for Angry birds.......

[trimi38]

If it really dose have PS3 graphics, AND decent anti aliasing then I'd get it.

[hellblazer116]

Can't say this made me want to buy this.

[manuwickrama]

@hellblazer116 Look at the new demo they released for Unit 13 and see if it makes a difference...

[MexicansStealShoes]

hey man

[mistahduke]

Saints Row The Third

[vietwillIam8080]

i wont be getting it it seems to buggy

[farmhousemedia3000]

I'm guessing Twitter is one if the most popular apps from people tweeting; "I am tweeting from my PSVita!!!"

BTW, the web browser probably uses too much RAM to run while a game is suspended.

Thanks for the quick look Cheapy. Like the PSP and PS3 I think there will be a long list of things the PSVita SHOULD do, but doesn't.

How does the thing feel while gaming? How do the analog sticks feel? Natural or awkward?

BTW, your description says: CheapyD & Tai unbox a Playstation Vita

[m0dm0use]

why all the fuss about the expense of the memory cards?! Are peoples memorys that short! remember the psp on release £100 for a 1gb memory stick pro duo, I don't kid that was the price of a card and that was the cheapest price arround so everyone making a fuss just shut up! also cheapyD I'VE MISSED YOUR VIDEOS GLADF TO SEE YOURE BACK . SORRY FOR CAPS my pc lags so much on youtube now

[dreamslayer]

@m0dm0use PSP Memory Sticks could be used for other devices. These are vita only.

[XC0MB4TXEV0LV3D]

They should hire google or apple to make their OS. Sonys are pretty bare bones.

[saphirejewelscoward]

So this explains the new Vita update on my PS3

[Metaflux317]

second

[XileLord]

First!!!11 loved the video bro.

[daydream605]

Things will take a while to update, because your connecting to the japanese servers :P
