PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | March 2014

check out the details in the buy/sell thread :) (cant link as im posting this from my vita lol)

also Wifi Vita is just that, wifi only as opposed to the 3G combo which you would have to get a cell carrier

I have ATT 4g phone so I should be able to get a 3g signal on my (planned) Vita right?
 
So I joined VitaGAF yesterday and my system should be here next week.

What are some of the must own games?
 
lol, there's that too, hence they fazed it out pretty damn fast

I mean just about everyone has a smartphone now with Data they are ALREADY paying for.

Mind as well use that instead. It never made since the minute 3G was announced in teh first place since 4G Phone and Tethering already existed.

You also required a separate data plan and HAD to go through At&t.

Yup
 
Just googled some stuff and found an old "rumour" posted on a Nintendo fansite about how Vita projects were moved to the Wii U because of bad sales, the irony :D

Wow, another disappointing month for PS+. Games that (1) have been heavily discounted recently so many probably already bought them or (2) were given to EU MONTHS ago.

Last month This month Thomas was Alone and Lone Survivior were free when they were on sale in Jan and now Stealth Inc, Velocity Ultra, and Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD which were also on sale during that are also now going to be free? Why did I even buy these games? Fuck you whoever decides on PS+ games :l

So Tomb Raider DE and Thief 4 on PS+ before Q3 confirmed, aye?
(I'd be the most happy)
 
Don't be THAT guy. Persona 4 Golden, Tearaway, Hatsune Miku and Ys aren't on plus.

I'm 90% sure that Teraway will be in just two months at E3 or the "yearly refresh" for Vita Plus. That or Little Big Planet (which I also want). Those are just two big high profile games that sell systems (which the yearly games usely are for any sony platform, they are meant to sell systems and are not like the regular monthly offerings) that have been out enough time for it not to be. E3 is in just two months and I'm pretty busy. I can wait to see if I'm write or not. And even though I just saved around $200 on this purchase I do watch my money closely.so I don't make too many "shoot from the hip" purchases (and am thus rewarded when things come out on plus while many people groan).

That's what people said about LBP Vita last year.

Dude. P4G.
Just get it.
All the other stuff not on plus can wait, just grab it on PSN when it's on sale for 20.

But I just spent $162 on a vita with a 32gb memory card that's alot of money guyz (and no it's not as a vita with no games is going on amazon for $200 + and a memory card of that size is going for $80. I checked before sending the money. Man, memory cards are expensive. Glad I never have to worry about that). :(

Oh i missed that you just got it. Fuck dude you're good with PS Plus games.Get P4G eventually when it's on sale since it totally will be.
 
Anyone knows when the 10 dollars coupon from the last promotion are going to be emailed?

I still haven't received mine, and I spent something like 90 bucks during the promotion. Bought Infamous, Towerfall and some other games.
 
That's what people said about LBP Vita last year.

it is damn shocking that LBP Vita hasn't gone F2P. There is so much DLC content that could be promoted and what not...

Also, saw my first vita in the wild today. I've been serving on jury duty and looked up from my vita to see the defendant playing a vita as well. I so wanted to go ask what he was playing but i couldn't. :(

Traveling today. Security says they're doing extra scanning of devices larger than a cell phone. "Does a PlayStation Vita count?" I ask.

"A what?"

"PlayStation Vita," I say louder.

"No idea what that is, but sure, we'll scan it," he says.

As if airport security weren't demeaning enough. :(

Hate to break it to you but it went out almost a week ago.
 
So I joined VitaGAF yesterday and my system should be here next week.

What are some of the must own games?

MGS HD
Hotline Miami
Guacamelee
Fez
Wipeout 2048 (on plus)
Killzone Mercs
Lone Survivor (on plus)

Those are the best vita games I've played thus far, and I've only had the system a few months. Lots of good psone and psp games as well
 
Not feeling Steamworld Dig at all. The mining is so boring without the crafting aspect behind it. Wasn't sure about it from the get go and was persuaded by the gaf hype. Hope it still gets better.

Think frost was right about it.

Around new years a friend asked me if that was a PSP. I don't know if it was that smart of Sony to drop the PSP branding as it at least had some brand recognition.

Ha.

I remember flying at LGA and the security guard asked me if that was a Vita. And when I said yes he "asked" me to let him look at it. So I obliged and he just started messing around with it for a good 30 seconds or so.

I was pretty upset but also actually happy that there was somebody out there in the wild who was interested with a Vita.
 
I look down on people who go "Plus begging", just as some do with "port begging".

How am I "plus begging"? Please tell me. I bought the service with my own money. I'm fully intending to use, and get the most out of, the service I paid for with my hard-earned money. It's that simple.

For future reference, you don't ever need to take the Vita out at the airport. ;)
 
I think the PS+ update is great, oh wait, you are an American peasant :P

Quiet you.
Do I even want to know what EU is getting (has gotten) for April?

--

Can anyone with Rayman Legends Vita confirm for me that the challenge servers are busted? I try to connect and all I get is a spinning yellow icon in the bottom right on a black screen.
 
Ok so just bought GTA Chinatown Wars for my vita and what can i say? It fits perfectly for a handheld, having a blast with it. In terms of graphics it holds really well due to the celshading look. And the colors on dat OLED are beautiful. Also i love the oldschool camera view. IMO i would say its a must buy for the vita. Didnt see that coming. And for 6.99€ its a steal.
 
I really hope that #jrpgvita get Zero Evo and Ao Evo, because Xseed won't commit releasing the sequels besides Trails Second Chapter. I won't cry over one chapter lost.
We're talking a series primarily great for its continuing story, not something like Final Fantasy with barely any continuity or Dark Souls where it's all vague and doesn't really matter much if you ever played the first game beforehand or not. This really seems more like skipping a book in A Song of Ice and Fire just so you can get the newer books quicker: I'd say what the hell the point is though you could probably still enjoy it, but it still comes off as a terrible compromise for the sake of cutting ahead.

I would've used Wheel of Time as my example book series, but holy crap it really does sound like you can safely skip some books in the middle.
US April PS+ games announced:

Mercenary Kings (PS4)
Batman: Arkham City (PS3)
Stealth Inc. A Clone in the Dark (PS3)
Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (PS3)
Velocity Ultra (Vita)
Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD (Vita)
Hmmm...

Arkham City would've been fantastic in the hypothetical alternative universe where GFWL would never die, or that WB didn't care enough to cut it out, but I still like to get the Batman games collected together on Playstation and have Arkham Asylum digitally, and it's a fantastic game that'd be worth replaying anyway (although preferably with more than a few months since I last played it.) Already got Mickey though, wasn't HUGE on Pixeljunk Monsters, and would need tor ead up on Velocity Ultra. Stealth Inc seems good but I mostly just know about the rename from Stealth Bastards.
