Nnice! Updates are very heart whelming . . But when will sony RE-DESIGN THE VITA? . . The Vita freakin sucks in the mitts . . . I held it the other day, and I DO NOT WANT TO play ANY GAME ON IT EVER! .. horrible design . . Just want to sLam it, maybe i can give it a few DENTS OF COMFORT. .. . It sure is purrty though

UltraVegito4128d ago

^lay off the drugs before posting

And i hope for some folders(rid of that 100 app/game limit) in this update.

BullyMangler4128d ago

Maybe thats why they made COMFORT GRIPS for the darn thing?

Genuine-User4128d ago

Your first sentence made me laugh.

Akuma-4128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

its always funny to me hearing about a new sony firmware update because they always have hidden features in them that sony doesnt run around bragging about like other companies that would brag about silly features.

short bus wizardry right there.

MasterCornholio4128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

Strange i find it extremely comfortable to hold due to its super oval design. You must have hands that are compatible with the N64 controller then.

FlyingFoxy4128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

Have to agree the Vita is much more comfortable than 3DS as well, rounded sides and the control sticks don't slip away with your thumbs on them.

imXify4128d ago

I just wonder when they will finally update and release a video-out cable to record gameplay or play on teevee -__-

iamnsuperman4128d ago

Yer. I assume that mystery port is used for that people what else it is going to be for

tubers4128d ago

I really hope so! I ABHOR the VITA (OLED) screen.. I'm onto my 5th one.

At least Sony is being very nice to me and tries to fit my "wants".. waiting for my service box 3-5 days from now ;)

With a TV out I can finally play my VITA games with accurate colors, no vertical lines and more neutral whites!

imXify4128d ago

Proof or it didn't happen

r214128d ago

5th?! Bloody hell, what have you been doing to your vitas man?

DarkHeroZX4128d ago

Side I dropped mine off a 4 foot table onto a stone floor and the most damage that happened was a couple scratches on the side. Are you sure your aren't either lying or just splitting them in half with an ax?

GreenRanger4128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

All I want is the ability to copy and paste text in the browser and to be able to set a homepage.

iamnsuperman4128d ago

That is a big one for me to. Copy and paste text is vital for any touch screen device. I have no idea why that didn't include it at launch.

doogiebear4128d ago

Meh, folders takes precedence. If u wanna use a browser, use your phone. Anyone with a Vita but no phone has their priorities totally out of whack.

GreenRanger4128d ago

I do use my phone, but I think that the Vita browser should at least have those basic features that I mentioned above.
They could add in folders and improve the browser at the same time, you know.

vanethe4128d ago

i want games and thats it

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 17h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 3h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX2d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney22h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii1d 22h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 21h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
