Sony Have Released A New Inside PS Vita Video Detailing Social Connectivity

Sony have released a new Inside PS Vita video. this video focuses on social connectivity, wifi and 3G online as well as Party and Near. this video features several developers and in-game action. it uses real game examples to show how the PS Vita uses its features. 

for example, Wipeout 2048 uses 3G to download ghost data. the example they used is if you have a track which 4 of your mates have played on. the game will download the ghost data next for you to beat, so if you beat one and have another mate to beat, the game will use 3G to download the ghost data and you can keep on playing.

Another example detailed in the video is the Live Area page, a way for the developers of a game to interact with gamers, like game announcements. Activity stream lets you know what your friends have done in that game, what trophies they have unlocked.

Near is detailed in this video. an example they use in the video is how you can challenge everyone in your area, for example with Wipeout and Near, you can complete a challenge in the game and then upload it to near. this will be bound to your location so anyone walking by will get the challenge sent to them.
