No, sir.

Bought SS Delta a few days back and found out about the data plan redeem game being SSD and the expansion. I call Sony up to take care of it and within minutes the rep gets on the ball and then says it can happen but it may take a week. Then after that he just told me to hold and basically ran upstairs to the department that handles that stuff and they refunded me for SSD and took it off my list within about 20 minutes of the call starting. They also helped me update my email which I could never do right on the SEN site.

That was the best support I've ever had from Sony which is normally pretty good with me but this time was perfect. So I got my 10 back and will just buy the data pass to redeem the other data and the free game plus DLC.

Wow. I never expected they would do that. Really cool service.
 
How easy is it to size a graphic for that PDP case? Been debating that one...

very easy. They come with like 3 graphics and All I did was look in some gaming magazines and traced the outline. But i'm sure you could just get the exact measurements and print them out if you know what graphic you want. I have a bad printer so magazine quality is the only option for me
 
Does it say "Hidden trophy"? Or is it just flat out hidden? I don't think the Lumines lists have any "hidden trophy" listed
They don't right now. Doesn't mean there aren't any hidden trophies, though. If they were just ripped from the list online then a hidden Platinum is perfectly plausible. Especially with FFXIII-2 setting that precedent. Makes me wonder if Touch My Katamari also has "as yet undisclosed" hidden trophies including a Platinum.
 
I thought the PSP's was pretty darn good.

Werent Lumines and HSG PSP launch games too? No surprise they are back to cash in on their previous success.

(Probably my 2 launch games to pick up btw, so I am not complaining.)
 
Uh ok it's not smaller XD

Hope they will make non official memory card for PS Vita Now the prices are too high ç_ç

Tech question, would that even be possible? Or do they need to be sony certified or something? I might get the 8GB now then, and switch to a non Sony card down the line. Otherwise there is no use in passing up the 32 gb one if I can get it.

The size difference being not huge makes me think we won't see a MicroSD to Vita memory card adapter sadly. Third party cards would still require licensing by Sony and they might not be willing to do that. Are there third party hard drives for the 360?
 
I took some pics earlier for this thread here they are again for you :

it is thick but will fit games/vita so perfect for me.

oh and the above post I ordered that directly from PDP.com. Sorry about the confusion. Just wanted to show all my Vita stuff

pretty jealous you got your case.

Mine won't be in until Feb 29th :(

Initial impressions?
 
How long before we find out what third parties are discounting their games for on PSN? If they are, I mean. Wouldn't mind Rayman and Lumines on my 32 gig cart.
 
Has anyone in the UK managed to find anywhere selling the official screen protectors? Can't seem to find them anywhere, only 3rd party ones.
 
So do we have a confirmation that all retail games must have a Platinum?

I believe there's a few PS3 games that don't have platinum, so I'd say it's not a requirement. Touch My Katamari apparently has no Platinum though.

I feel silly being hung on this issue but dammit I'm trophy OCD

I think we're going to have a race to see which one of us gets the first Platinum on a PS Vita game.
 
According to some of the comments here, those games will be $34.99 each.

I wonder what HSG will go for, since the price on Amazon has been lowered to 30$.

I'm like you. I want Shinobido, also... but this review make me doubt.

As I said before, this will be a bargain bin game soon enough.

Thats what I meant. So no use in waiting for non sony memcards then. Shit.

I don't get the love for Shinobido. Everything I have seen of it makes it look terrible.

Nostalgia. I am sort of interested as well, but maybe at 10, not more.
 
Many incoming replies....

Anyone have any impressions on the Thrustmaster V.I.P case?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0070AUERC/

My only impression is that I'm getting it. I'm planning on probably getting something like a headphone pouch to put carts in. maybe like this leather one on ebay. Will easily get 10+ games in there.

EDIT: just ordered one of those little pouches to go in my VIP case.

Memory Card 32GB from US for a European customer

I try again.
As you may know, here in Europe, we're not receiving 32GB memory card. Amazon.com doesn't sell this particular item to PAL customer. Is there a way to buy it anyway, possibly not paying it +20%?

Some people suggested me PlanetAxel but it seems that shipping that memory is taking forever. :(

Any alternative?
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean about the shipping. The release date on the site is the 15th of Feb. On the basis that they probably already have them in the NA warehouse they could well already be on a flight to the UK for dispatch since they are posted to you FROM the UK and not from Canada. Thats why there is no chance of import tax or VAT since it was dealt with by them when they imported them in the first place.

Has anyone ever tried out http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZBZ64Q/?tag=neogaf0e-20 on their vita or for iPad 2 for that matter?

I have one and it's great. I use it for my Desire HD. Not used it on anything else yet though I could try it on my Macbook Air I suppose. The Vita has it's own portable battery coming at 5000mAh so hopefully it'll support that 11000mAh beast as well :)


Wipout 2048 just got delivered!

My review*

Presentation:
Small and thin. I also like the color blue, so this appeals to me.
8/10

Graphics:
The art depicts 3 ships apparently in a race. The font is nice. It looses points for logos taking up a good chunk of the artwork.
6/10

Sound:
I can't hear shit.
0/10

Game play:
Boring. the ships don't move. It doesn't respond to any inputs despite the box claiming it has motion sensors and a back touch screen. I also can't connect it to the internet, so no multiplayer.
0/10

Lasting appeal:
Without a manual, and a bare bones back of the case you'll get bored pretty quick.
1/10

Overall:
3/10



*No Vita was available for this review. :(

I actually laughed out loud. Especially at the Sound and Lasting Appeal sections.

Awesome.
Who gives a fuck about using Facebook on this thing.

This. Is anyone actually planning on using this for Twitter or Facebook?

I'll use it if I'm using the device at the time. Why wouldn't I? I don't get why anyone would rag on it for being there as an option. If I'm checking a text on my phone and then want to check twitter then I'll do that. If I'm playing a game on the Vita and want to do the same then I'll use the Vita.

It's all about the choice.

Similarly people were asking who is going to pay extra for "transfaaring" to have a game on the PS3 and then again on the Vita. Who gives a fuck who wants it, it's the option for those that do and I imagine not one that is particularly difficult to implement if the games are similar.

The Vita is giving me options all over. Once the PS Suite finally goes live I'll have the option of playing smartphone games and "real" games and videos and music and facebook and everything else. Maybe I only want one of those things, but why would they not add them to broaden it's appeal?

All I know is that the UK gets Wipeout for buying some Vodafone 3G time (£5 for 300MB I think), haven't seen anything for the other EU regions yet.

It's 250mb I'm fairly sure, and I think the Wipeout deal is for most of the regions covered by SCEE.



Nice. Lets hope Amazon don;t cancel those £6 orders! I did choose Rayman as my £15 game in the bundle deal too on the basis that they probably will. Skipped it on the PS3 specifically because I wanted to enjoy it on that screen

Vita is 802.11b/g/n. PSP is 802.11b.

I think they said remote screen is still 480x272.

It's 480x272 for existing games. Any new games that are released that support it would be rendered at a better resolution though. For some reason I don;t think they said native though. Quite why I don't know.

Weird, my Vita won't see my N network.

Is your N network 5ghz or 2.4ghz?

Oi oi, the wifi Vita on Amazon UK seems to be down to £209.99. Complete with the free 8gb card, this deal is getting better by the day!! My pre-order hasn't updated yet but it did to £215 last week, so another £5 off further is nicely done.

Yep, Play dropped their previously matching price by £2 early on Monday morning. Amazon seemed to just say "fuck it" and drop their price by a full £5 on both the 3G and WiFi models. Play as yet have not responded. With still 7 days to go I'm wondering if it'll go any lower.

thank heavens for the Pre order price guarantee!

wut? How?

I imagine from a "that art, that colour palette on that screen" it could well be if you take price out of it. Plenty of people have said that they paid full price for the PS360 versions and it was worth every penny though so regardless of the price I'm happy.
 
I don't think so..and I know some peeps were saying Touch My Katamari doesn't have a Platinum either.
Thanks.

I believe there's a few PS3 games that don't have platinum, so I'd say it's not a requirement. Touch My Katamari apparently has no Platinum though.

I had no idea some PS3 games didn't have Platinum trophies.
I know it's just trophies but Sony needs to be consistent.
 
The Playstation Blog post today said something about needing Near to get the Platinum in Uncharted. ugh.

Something about using Near to trade bounties and collectibles with people. Maybe the first platinum will actually go to whoever trudges through Little Deviants.
 
The hell? Come on Sony.
Sure hope so, that seems pretty inconsistant. I was hoping the total trophy number would include both system.

I just did a test.
I synced my trophies on my Vita. I got 4 added and my level went up to 83%. Looking at my PS3, I have 1530 trophies and I'm at 82%. So I log out and back in.
I now have 1534 trophies and 83% on my PS3.

So it does count the trophies. You just can't actually see them in the trophy list.
 
It's strange if those games are $34.99 because that would indicate higher than a 10% discount.

Eh, the difference should be way higher in my opinion. And whoever said it, used the word "about 10%" or something to that effect I believe.
