On-Topic, Can someone explain Near, I just don't get it Click to expand...

I can try, but I'm not sure it'd be very informative.Basically Near finds other people in your area who have a Vita and tells you what they're playing. It's used to see what's popular or trending around you. Unlike StreetPass on the 3DS though, you never have to actually cross paths with someone with a Vita.Information gets sent to Sony's server so when your Vita reports in with Near, it uses the location of your Vita to tell you others who reported in with locations closest to you. That means someone could have been around your area yesterday or two days ago and if you checked Near today, you'd see that they were in the area on a certain day which is when their information was recorded to the servers. I believe their information stays for a week and then gets deleted.The other aspect of Near are gifts. Certain games allow things like items or challenges to be shared with people either on your Friend List or people you meet on Near.That's about it really. Hope it makes sense.Oh and welcome aboard!
