Yes it does, and it'll be checking for it every time you do something online.
Doesn't matter if it's digital or not.
This will be your next game with online pass even if this one goes under your services list.

I prefer to have all my titles digitally, and I have no problem deleting 40gb of games I probably haven't touched in a year to make room for something I WILL be playing.
Don't see what the big deal is, but to each their own. If going digital only means I get more of these games localized, then I am a happy gamer.

Aye. I just thought Sony was done with online passes. Pretty sure I heard something like it some time ago.
KillZone did not come with an online pass. I wonder if SSD is just caught in an awkward transition period or if it.is just a Japan thing.
In any case, it being digital only makes online passes a non issue.
I only have 1 Vita so I can't answer that question, and while one could describe me as an encyclovitia, I'd suggest Googling games your game collection for the latter question. Most Japanese games will have at least adhoc, where as the western games might lean towards online-only.

HOOOLLLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I came today in GAF and witnessed the news of FREEDOM WARS & ORESHIKA & TALES OF HEART GETTING A CONFIRMED R1 ENGLISH VERSION RELEASE!
HOLLLLLLLLLLLLLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Not sure what it means by "GameStop Exclusive" though... what, so people outside US can't buy it or something? Surely not, right? Because that'd be so stupid.

Not that I want to condone online temper tantrums, but Gravity Rush was originally going to be download only in EU until people kicked up a fuss.

I'm never, ever going to get a game that comes with an online pass for more than 10 dollars. Even if it is digital like SSD.
If it is anything like Xenoblade, we can't buy it outside US. /butthurt
At least we can get it digital.

Oh AND DEAD NATION TOO!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Someone explain Oreshika gameplay to me please: do you make your own hero? I heard there's some marriage and children thing so it's like Conception or something like that?
GOOD GOLLY I am in a Vita overload mode right now. Can't believe I was greeted with Freedom Wars, Oreshika, Dead Nation, Tales of Heart R........ all over my face.
Ah, so people outside US can't buy it physical? Ah well, digital it is then...... Such a totally stupid thing though :/ But ah well.

Worst case scenario you'll still be able to get it on PSN.
What? Xenoblade was available physical in Europe ages before there was even a US release.

I don't live in the US but I managed to get Xenoblade pretty easily from eStarland.com. I'm pretty sure these other "GameStop" exclusives will show into at least online stores like that.
GameStop exclusive? I don't think so. In fact, it's not officially announced yet. They mention GameStop because someone from there leaked the listing iirc.
GS themselves put it up on their site earlier today and listed it as exclusive (been taken down)
Screen
Gamestop briefly put up a page on their website listing the game as a Gamestop exclusive. It's likely that the North American release will only be available in physical form at the retailer. I believe Tales of is more popular in Europe, so I'd expect a wide retail release over there.
Yep, I saw the listing, but that would be the first time that a Vita game is a) Sold exclusively at one retailer, and b) Available only in physical form.
I think if the listing is real and the game is indeed exclusive, it could be that it has some kind of bonus exclusive to GS or it will only be timed exclusive, since I don't see them releasing this game without a download version.
One Piece is also exclusive and will be widely available in EU.

it wouldn't be available only in physical form, Sony requires all retail games to have a digital release on Vita after all
it'd just be you can only get the physical release at GameStop

reminds me, what the heck did I do with the AR cards that came with mine...
What games beyond those gimmicky AR games actually used the cards? Project Diva f had its own AR card for some reason.
hmm? lol but I think my White Vita came with AR cards though
No real loss.
My 1000 Vita didn't come with them either, my 2000 one came with a fold out print out of them.

The US version you couldn't. Region locking and all.
Never heard of this website! Thanks! I remember that around launch none of the online stores that deliver to Brazil had the US version..
--
I should clarify I'm from Brazil. My Wii could only play US copies and it was impossible to find a retail copy of Xenoblade here. If it weren't for lots of money and a friend going to the US I would never have played such an awesome game.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
I see. That makes more sense. I don't mind though, since I buy almost exclusively digital. But after P4G and FFX, I'm not sure a Tales game will cut it for me.
I still have some hope this is not #jrpgvita though. It HAS to be Type-0 right? Right?
a few questions before I sell of my Vita? do I just have to reset the Vita to factory defaults and not worry about anything?
I removed my 64GB, reset to defaults (it prompted me to deactivate my Vita as well) and inserted the 4GB. anything else I should do?
I'm thinking of selling my 32GB now... I can see myself actually getting a 128GB down the line.. Going full digital on the Vita is the best thing ever.
Hmm I actually thinking of getting those SFbags Waterfields? pouch for the Vita

Why are you selling your Vita?

I'm pretty sure Shahid actually wanted to announce Type-0 along with the other games yesterday but he found out that Banana had not yet imported.
Oops! I'm selling my White Vita and switching to my Black one.
Need some funds so I can't keep two Vitas.
Don't worry. I'm still here Vita muffins! I'll probably sell my 3DS collection off before I even contemplating quitting Vita gaming
Smart As...
And the Resistance AR Monument. Did Reality Fighters require them? I can't remember.
I don't know why Sony thought AR cards would be a good idea for a portable device.
Oh yeah, totally forgot that series existed.
Because Invizimals was really successful.
that's me and the 3DS - carrying carts around for 3DS is really...

Where's the Gundam version of Invizimals.
uh oh....can you still plat Smart As without AR cards?
No. They're required to play some of the games. I'm pretty sure you can print the cards off Sony's website.
Edit: Right here http://us.playstation.com/psvita/apps/psvita-app-ar.html At the bottom of the AR Play section there's links to download the pdf versions.
I'm getting close to convincing my friend to get a Vita VitaGAF, he likes indie games, he's a massive fan of Borderlands 2 and I don't think the graphical downgrade would bother him much aslong as it's playable, not to mention he rarely gets the opportunity to use the TV and his PSP died which he enjoyed up until then so i'm sure he'd love one. (Aytrial would be disappointed at how I haven't smashed his PC yet to convince him) But assuming he does I was thinking I'd give him my 32gb card and getting a 64gb one seeing as how i'm alternating/deleting stuff due to reaching maximum storage, but I also was planning on waiting for the hopefully eventual 128gb card before I upgrade my storage.
So should I upgrade now or wait? (under the assumption we do get a 128gb eventually)

Your friend doesn't deserve a 32gb card. Give it to me and I'll send you my 16gb in return
Seems like a fair trade.Your friend doesn't deserve a 32gb card. Give it to me and I'll send you my 16gb in return
For 3 16gb cards
Digital seems inconvenient given the current storage limitation, specially on the Vita. Also, I prefer money out of my wallet than money out of my credit card.
In another note, I don't know what to buy with $20, I kinda want Harvest Moon Back to Nature though, but I don't know what else .__.

It really isn't. Much more convenient than carrying around and switching carts.
That's true, but on the Vita I really don't feel like forking over $80 for a Memory Card. I also like to have my game cases, it feels like I'm getting my money's worth over an icon on my home screen imo.
Seems like a fair trade.

Tsunamo pls ;__;
That's completely psychological. All you're getting extra is a piece of plastic. As someone that travels a lot stuff like that just becomes a burden and is no more than useless clutter.
You're paying for the game not a piece of plastic or an icon on your home screen.
While I do find digital much more convenient on Vita than retail (or one retail release and mostly digital) I certainly do feel as though it's a bit of a peril once you hit max storage and have to reshuffle/delete stuff, especially for someone like myself who has to deal with 100gb download cap every month if I want to redownload them.
That and the price of entry for upgrading memory cards, but with that said lower amounts of storage on the PSP cost way way more here in Australia before they pricedropped (were around $200 for a 32gb at one stage if I remember right) so they don't bother me on the Vita as much as they did back then on the PSP. (which is probably why I'm still on a 4gb memory stick and never upgraded back when I didn't use ebay or online stores)
