You can always backup to your PC.
Sadly, nowadays this is more accurate than ever. I'm more of a collector type, and since I don't travel much, I like displaying my game cases, and collecting semi-"rare" games. Feels nice to have a limited edition in my shelf.
I also want to mention the regional stuff, importing and its non-existence in digital form, aside from changing store regions (without mentioning region locking, which is a non-issue in PS3 and Vita).
Well yeah, there are games where there's not choice. I only own one physical cart for the Vita which is God Eater 2 because that was the only option. Not too bad since I can just leave it in the slot 24/7 and it's not a hassle.
On the other hand my 3DS/DS collection is a pain in the ass and I'll probably just have to sell it all off at some point.
While I've never been a collector I still understand the sentiment about having a nice lineup on your shelf. Other than the obvious cart switching issue one thing that really killed it for me was how often Vita games get patched nowadays. Always knowing that the carts on my shelf are incomplete (and sometimes completely broken) games, with the only way to get the most updated version being to download a mandatory digital component makes me feel like I should've just went digital in the first place (this is also psychological of course).
Seeing pages of bubbles on my home screen and being able to access any of the games instantly seems like it'd provide more utility for me than a row of cases at this point but like I said, I'm way too deep in to switch now.
Australia, we get horrible download caps here and not so great internet speeds either. (that and i'm with one of the most expensive providers here at the moment so upgrading isn't really a option, can always switch providers if i'm really desprate though)
That could have changed with labors fibre optic nbn plan but alas liberal got in and we're doomed to stay with slow internet. >.<
Could be worse though, my friend that recently moved to New Zealand has to deal with only 40gb a month now.
You know that actually never occurred to me, I probably should do that sometime. Thanks!
I'm Australian too and I've got a 1TB plan on ADSL2+ with iiNet, who are you with?
But yeah, Abbott will make sure we stay in the dark ages indeed.

So it was confirmed that SoulSac Delta is digital only outside of Japan?
All signs point to yes but some retailers have a physical listed for some reason. I'd laugh my ass of if there was a physical and it was a stealth release.
I'm with Telstra, my mum went with them due to being on the same phoneplan with them awhile back and didn't want to go through the hassle of having to switch anything.
Whoa, I didn't know iiNet had 1TB plans now. They were actually who I had in mind for if I ever switched providers so it's nice to see them always improving their plans, it might be a good time for me to look into them further.
As for Abbott I feel as though this is relevant:

For Europe at least. I'm not sure about America but I'd assume it's the same there.
EBGames Aus still have Muramasa Rebirth listed for a retail release with a placeholder price and have for months.

Just use your PC or PS3 to hold the fridge, no need to redownload
Think I'm going to sell my vita OLED+32GB card, and replace with a white+green vita 2000+64GB card

Oh, so its digital only huh?
Its still on the store for ps+ members.
It's not showing as free for me either. Games stay in the rotation for at least a month, so it must be a bug.
anyone??

Hm, I'm using the phone. I guess I'll walk allllll the way to the ps3 and check the store there....
edit- nope. ps3 showing the same thing
Might check the webstore for your country. But this is what it says in the description for the PS3 version
Then for the PSV version
Looks good either way in this case (According to AU PSN Store)
The prices are from the webstore, guess I'll buy the PS3 version then, thanks man!

I finished Tearaway last week and forgot to post about it:
It was pretty alright. If I were a cynic I'd call it "Gimmick: The Game (not made by Nintendo)" but I actually found most of the stuff pretty charming. I already knew it'd be more of an adventure game rather than a platformer but it had some nice sections from time to time, at least in theory. Conceptually they did some cool stuff with the front and back touch but it sadly doesn't lead to any exciting gameplay because of the complete lack of challenge and the incredibly generous checkpointing.
What I liked however was that the world felt like this huge living, breathing thing. The look of the game, especially the animations, and how you interact with the world really made it appear as an actual thing inside your Vita and was what kept me going. It's been a while since I've played a game with such a compelling world even though they only scratched the surface of what they could have done with it.
Sadly, by the halfway point I was already starting to get bored but I'm still glad I stuck with it to the end and got to see the ending. Ultimately Tearaway didn't live up to the hype for me and I'll be most likely selling it back.

Just finished the game yesterday (i actually bought the tearaway vita bundle), and i kinda feel the same, the presentation was awesome, the graphics and the music were really top notch for me, but ultimately the gameplay was pretty mediocre with almost no challenge at all, its an overrated/overhyped game but a good game nonetheless.
I'd like a more expanded and challenging sequel someday, but i doubt it considering the sales.
I hope they announce a Vita 3000 with the triumphant return of the OLED
oh well
shall go home and apply my Screen Protector
I've been out for a day and all that stuff happened? Wow.
I think I read previously that Soul Sacrifice Delta is download only, right? And ToH a GameStop exclusive. Do we know something about a EU release for this game?
It looks like an amazing year for the Vita after all. Those are 4 new exclusives for the system. This sure is #20V1T4.
If next month is better than this (In the past 30 days our bolder, my father's laptop, our PC, our car, the washing machine and the dryer all broke) I'll start to buy the game I wasn't able to get during the past few months. Ys, DR and FF.
I dont think SSD will be download only, they know better than that, as a matter of fact i think all of this games will have retail versions, althou in the blog is not confirmed neither is confirmed they are bringing these titles only as downloads.
PS4 FW 1.7 update is comming??
PS4 firmware team should really commit themselves to a monthly update schedule...
for once, the XB1 has been rather impressive with their monthly updates
anyone got thoughts?
32GB memory card - KEEP or SELL?
and.. no one using these cases?
I have one for my 3DSXL. It's nice but not worth the price unless you take it outside all the time.anyone got thoughts?

Do what you want with the card man
that's your call.Antiwhippy
the holder of the trombone
I don't use a case for mine. Can't really see the point as I keep nothing that could possibly scratch it in my bag.
I pretty much just have a screen protector on it..

I like convience of not having a case
The plan is to release it only on PSN, tho:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014...udio-allan-becker-speaks-to-playstation-blog/
(See the 5th answer).
Thread got crowded this night, reminded me of ye ole vitagaf threads~
As for cases: I have a basic generic one for the 1000, and ordered a basic Hori one with the 2000, but it was replaced by a Hori hard case as it was sold out (and superufo doesnt like to tell whats sold out on their site).
Will post some impressions or something when it arrives.
I have one for my 3DSXL. It's nice but not worth the price unless you take it outside all the time.

hmm I'm currently using the PDP Folio Case... I only bring out the Vita case though.
the 32GB memory card is a problem... not sure whether to keep it for a possible secondary Vita (yes probably a 2K or 3K... and not another OLED) or a Vita TV.
hmm how's the quality on 3DS XL? I'm using a kiddy case :X (for 3DS XL)
hmm. so you just dump it in your bag? :X
hmm which case are you using?
I like convience of not having a case
hmmm.. how about screen protector? I'm not sure if I should re-apply Skinomi on my Black Vita :/
hmm and I totally ruined my first HORI screen protector.. ><

trailer might help a little

thats dissapointing... are all the games PSN only ? if they are im gonna strike not buying any of them
Quality's great as you'd expect from the price but I don't use it enough outside to be worth it haha.
And the 2K Vita is great, if you ever get one I think you would be pleasantly surprised with just how good it is.
Only for SSD it's confirmed. Guess we'll only find out about the others when their release dates are announced.

As i said in other thread :
Haters will be doubters and then buyers who will transform into die hard Vita fans. Becouse deep within they love Vita.
It's all about balance. After a wave of LTTP threads and announcements where all was love and happiness the world needed some Vita bashing.
A little off-topic but yesterday I went to the cinema to watch Need for Speed. Seriously, what was that shit? Really, really bad film. I don't feel like they stole me because I paid 3 for 2 films. Otherwise I'd be really angry.
And it wasn't that hard to make it good. You only need cars (don't have to be luxury cars), some pursuits, hot women, a simple story and a hot main character (to please women that go to see the film too xD).
Something like Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) would have worked a lot better.
Just pretend it's a Breaking Bad sequel
