I only own Gravity Rush out of all the games so I am happy.



It's going for $20? I'll probably trade mine in at that price.

$20 at Best Buy. Like $11 or 12 at GameStop.

 

[SpaceBridge]

Getting GR again for the price of three month sub is enticing, but locked out of the game makes me wanna take the money to rebuy a cart instead. Then again, Wipeout and LBP 2 for PS3 does make it a great deal.

 

[DBT85]

Those specific 6 games, cloud saves, improved html5 browser, automatic updates, AND cloud saves, in one weeks time?

Redemption. All is forgiven.

Give the bitches clouds daves. Fuck it. Give the bitches cloud saves twice.

Bitches love double cloud saves.

yeah but not sure if I want to keep GR on my 16gig memory. How do you even keep the save data if you decide to sell the cart?

if you have plus then you just use the cloud save. If not then just transfer the game data to your PC or PS3.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Man what is the deal with EU only having 4 games instead of 6? I also already own 3 of those 4 games.

Not pleased

 

[SpaceBridge]

OMG! You mean I can back up my saves onto cloud, delete my Vita games to make room, and then later reinstall those saved onto my cart?

 

[Ragingnight]

by the time cloud saves come the value will drop a ton. BB doesn't update their TIV until way later.

I don't think we've heard it the cloud will be compatible with saves on carts. Something tells me it won't work.

 

[Kintaro]

Hell of a deal. However, I'm still not convinced this is enough to keep my Vita. I've played through the Vita games and have the others already =/

 

[Toki767]

I don't think we've heard it the cloud will be compatible with saves on carts. Something tells me it won't work.

I think they replied on the blog saying that you upload a retail save to the cloud and then download it to convert it to a digital save.

 

[SpaceBridge]

I don't think we've heard it the cloud will be compatible with saves on carts. Something tells me it won't work.

No, I mean I can back up my Little Kings Story save file (PSN only game), delete the game to make room on my mem card, then later redownload the game and my save file?

 

[DBT85]

by the time cloud saves come the value will drop a ton. BB doesn't update their TIV until way later.

You don't need the cart to use cloud save, at least, I highly doubt you'll need the cart in to do so, you don't need the disk in your PS3 to upload your saves.

I traded Gravity Rush in the moment I read that it was part of the PS+ about 8 hours ago. No need to wait.

No, I mean I can back up my Little Kings Story save file (PSN only game), delete the game to make room on my mem card, then later redownload the game and my save file?

Yes. Saves are tied to the account, not to what is currently installed. you can manage what saves are in your account so if you knew you were never going to go back you could just delete that save from the cloud.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

they didnt say how often these games will be updated did they?

 

[CoachKevin]

Looks like a lot of people are prepping for PS+

 

[DangerousDave]

I think they replied on the blog saying that you upload a retail save to the cloud and then download it to convert it to a digital save.

Basically, they said that retail and digital versions of the games share the same save. When you upload your saves to the cloud (no matter if it's digital or retail), restoring those saves will be used for any version of the game, even if it's different than the one from that save is stored.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Also happy to see the "custom size" option is back for ps1 games, I was pretty bummed when I noticed it was missing.

This is good, but where do we know this from?

 

[Toki767]

We should see one or two new games next month.

Platform: 3DO never gets old.

 

[DangerousDave]

I bet 2, a Vita and a PSP one.

 

[web01]

Happy I didn't buy uncharted had a feeling it would come to vita plus, gravity rush is a nice bonus too.

 

[FINALBOSS]

God this deal is so fucking awesome for a new Vita owner like me! I got the Liberation bundle on launch day and have been wanting Gravity Rush so bad (but budget is tight right now with all the console games).

Very very excited. Played the GR demo and fucking loved it. So excited.

 

[SpaceBridge]

Yes. Saves are tied to the account, not to what is currently installed. you can manage what saves are in your account so if you knew you were never going to go back you could just delete that save from the cloud.

Holy shit. Game changer right here.

 

[Drencrom]

Wow, their plan actually worked.

Platform: 3DO never gets old.

This must be deliberate error lol

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wonder when they switch the games for vita.
Regardless I gotta get down on some PS+

 

[Vazra]

With PS+ you get half of the vita library for free!

 

[Ran rp]

This is good, but where do we know this from?

IGN.

Monday, November 19th, Vita Firmware 2.00 will go live and show PlayStation Plus functionality – along with allowing Vitas to check Gmail and Yahoo email, wirelessly communicate with PCs, tweak PSone game settings, and use the web browser more effectively. Then, when the PlayStation Store updates on Tuesday, November 20th, the first round of free-to-PlayStation Plus subscriber Vita games will be available.

 

[DBT85]

hahahahahahahahahaha.



ha.

 

[the_korben]

Given that a lot of the launch titles on PSN are still at launch prices rather than the lowered MSRPs, I just hope the don't give us fake discounts by keeping digital prices higher than they should be and then discounting them for PS+ members.

 

[yurinka]

So in a nutshell:

PS Vita PN+

-Included in the price of the PS3 PS+ at no additional cost.
-PS+ Vita content will be posted on the PS3 Store too (so it's also available for PS3 users who still don't have a Vita).
-1GB of cloud save storage, that will be added to the PS3 1GB storage.
-PS+ cloud saves will let you transfer game saves from retail carts to the PSN version.
-Like in PS3, 'purchase' free games while available in the store and download or play them until you keep renewing the subscription. However, if you decide to re-activate your membership, you will once again be able to play all games downloaded from the Instant Game Collection.
-Special discounts (-20% for the first offers) to purchase games that won't expire with your subscription.
-First month free games : Uncharted GA, Gravity Rush, Mutant Blobs Attack!!! worldwide, in addition to Wipeout 2048, Jet Set Radio HD and Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions.
-Automatic software updates.
-Automatic trophy sync.
-PS+ Vita content will be limited through DRM to 2 consoles and 2 handhelds per account.

Vita firmware v2.00

-PS+ Support.
-Email app (Gmail, Yahoo!, other IMAP/POP3).
-1080p video playback.
-Video now supports closed captioning.
-Content manager with PS3/PC now using wi-fi too.
-New web browser with upgraded HTML5/Javascript support and optimized both CPU processing and graphic rendering.

So awesome! XBL and WiiU online service, improve it!

 

[ThatStupidLion]

this makes it harder to wait out the redesign/price drop!!

 

[ConradCervantes]

Picking up the Lego Batman 2 deal at Target.

$199 - %10 employee discount from a friend - %5 RedCard discount - $10 coupon I received in the mail today = $168 total for the system. I have a 16 GB card from my first foray with the system, though PS+ may now force me to upgrade.

[kewlmyc]

Badass. I'm going to have to get a bigger SD card.

 

[VanWinkle]

So with this amazing PS+, does the Vita now have the most full featured online service of any console/handheld?

 

[Corran Horn]

Already have most of those games :/ but I guess I can trade the physical copies in for a larger memory card...hmm

 

[inner-G]

Those browser improvements actually sound... good?

 

[TheExecutive]

Dammit. They are finally going to get me to get PS+. I knew it would happen but yeah...

Yeah it's a pretty good update.

Just not sure if CC on videos are limited to Vita or are also coming to PS3 videos, that means if I buy Spiderman on PSStore and I want to watch it on PS3 and PSV, I can only watch it with CC on Vita? Doesn't make much sense to be honest. Furthermore is CC added to ALL video content or just certain movies? Would be nice to have language and subtitle options but baby steps I guess. Same with PS3/PC content manager, I guess they will eventually get to the point where you can buy/queue stuff from a PC/tablet/smartphone.

CC is apparently only on the Youtube app, which frankly isn't really supported.

I'd be over the moon if Sony provided CC support on the PSN store, but I know that ain't going to happen in my lifetime.

 

[neobiz]

I love +. LIVE never got me, I feel that I'm being gouged pretty much just for MP. I don't want to pay MS for buying a game and again for the pleasure of using 1/2 or more for that software.

I've had + since it was introduced and let it lapse for maybe a month before reupping. Just the better deal IMO.

I was going to buy JSR (Vita) anyway and only have Mutant Blob on that list. I hope the deals continue!

Wow really? You just threw cold water on update 2.0 if what you're saying is true.

I honestly don't know, but there's no mention of the PSN store getting CC support. The CC announcement was tied to the Youtube app earlier which makes sense since the Youtube browser/computer stream has had CC support for a while.

But yeah, I'm not hyped either way since 1) I'm sure Sony won't support it 100% like Netflix/Hulu doesn't (fucks sake, why the fuck is Arrested Development's captions crap out in the middle of Season 3, Hulu?) and 2) Youtube uploaders NEVER use it, even professional channels like "Rev3."

CC is for your own videos that you transfer to the Vita.

Then stop giving misinformation

 

[TheSeks]

Ah, you're right. Even more useless then since PSN won't ever get CC files for the file formats both hardware platforms support.

I mean shit, the PS3 has had caption support for ages and no push on PSN by Sony, so... yeah, still not hyped for that but it's a nice gesture by Sony.

You just insulted his mom's barber skills, how could you? :O

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Between this and Persona 4, I'm finally 100% satisfied with my Vita purchase.

 

[Bullza2o]

Those browser improvements actually sound... good?

Sounds good. I just wish I can suspend my game to browse though. No big deal, I'll just use my phone.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Sounds good. I just wish I can suspend my game to browse though. No big deal, I'll just use my phone.

open twitter app. click random link to a website. browse in game.

Youre welcome.
