Still need to download this. How big is the file?
926 MB

I'm constantly adding/deleting stuff on my 32GB card too. A 64GB card would be sweet. I'd buy a new Vita with sizable built in memory, too.

Incidentally, as long as it is the same account, is there anything you have to worry about when switching cards? I know that switching to a card that's tied to a JPN account can cause some issues/headaches and is an involved process...is the same true for swapping out memory on the same account?
Swapping cards for the same account should be no problem. But it is recommended that you turn off the Vita when swapping cards. Some warning about potentially corrupting save data.

My problem is that swapping cards on the same account defeats the purpose of going digital. Plus it'd just be plain difficult to remember which games are on which card. Not really any place to make note of which games are on the cards themselves.. Like the old PS1 memory cards. :lol:

Yup, agreed. I'm going mostly-digital with the Vita myself (though I preordered a physical K:M from Amazon for some bonuses). For now deleting and re-downloading will have to do.

Debating whether to buy another Vita if I can get a good deal. Or just buying one new for $200. I love my Hatsune Miku Vita but sometimes I worry about it getting banged up when I take it on the go. Thus far I've probably put hardly anything more than maybe a light scratch or two on the glossy plastic.

Since I have PS+ I could easily switch between the two while keeping my most current save files and such. Or just swapping cards.

I played the killzone beta yesterday, and while I was impressed by the graphics, the game felt like any other online shooter (and I stopped playing them about 5 years ago) I also had trouble reacting quickly, holding the vita and trying to quickly take out people was not easy. I played 2 matches (that seemed to go on forever) and was done, I probably will not be picking it up when it releases.

That's the goal, I think. It feels like a good one.

did you adjust the sensitivity?

Yeah, I set the sensitivity, that helped, but I think I need to look into those grip attachments, my wife also mentioned that she finds holding the console for a long time uncomfortable.

You are right though, it did feel like a console quality shooter, and I guess I am just not into the online play anymore.

I don't feel like any portable gamer system is super comfortable, but I do find the Vita quite a bit more comfortable than my 3DS XL.

I have the trigger grip on my Vita and it basically feels like a Dual Shock. The Vita is probably the most comfortable handheld I have used outside of the old style Gameboy.

I'd agree on the Vita being the most comfortable portable I have used. But more so than the original GB, IMO. At the same time, not nearly as comfortable as a regular controller. To be expected. And I wouldn't walk around in public with those hand grips. Just like I wouldn't use a Circle Pad Pro XL for my 3DS in public. :lol: Plus I don't want to scratch my Miku Vita.

Definitely, plastic attachments stay inside the home. :P
