What is that actually? Sort of understood that others can wake you up or something. Can someone explain to me whats so good about this app? Any Europeans still using it?

It's an alarm clock app with trophies. (This is where my interest comes in... :lol)
You can compete or work with people on your friends list to "wake up" on time?
Something like that.

Damn, i got a code for 1 month Free PS+ stuck on an unacessible old email account >.< why!!!

Screwed myself on this one..

You could always, y'know, buy a month?

And a fantastic NISA sale, with PSP games up to 50% off!

I can't buy a single month can i ?

Just buy 3

 

[Salaadin]

Firmware 2.0 brings wireless charging? How would one do this?

lol, good catch. Whats that about?

 

[semiconscious]

Pfft, like that's a reason to buy a Vita.

seriously. i mean, throw in a gravity rush card game, & maybe i'd buy one ...

 

[DBT85]

Ha, he meant wireless connection to your PC with Content Manager.

I'll be interested to see the transfer speed difference.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I can't buy a single month can i ?

My bad, buy 3!

It's still a fantastic service and you'll get your $6/month worth for the 3 months, I'm sure, especially if you're a new subscriber or a Vita owner (obviously).

I'd just be worried about whether my 1 month code would stack, I guess?

Was going to say what DBT85 said.

Thats what I was thinking. Damn, I was excited for a second there

Wireless transferring is a nice plus for me. Even if the speeds are slow, Ill just do all my transferring during the day while Im at work.

 

[darkwing]

wireless CMA thingy is awesome, charge your Vita while transferring stuff

 

[DBT85]

Well the USB2 is limited to like 10MB a second so Wireless could actually be faster. I doubt if it will be though.

The tests that Eurogamer did on launch week were putting a 32GB card transfer speeds in Content Manager at about 8.5MB/s which is not far off of USB2s speed, but smaller cards were slower suggesting that the USB wasn't the bottleneck.

If I get a chance I'll do a few tests before the end of the week.

I can't spare anymore cash for gaming this month unfortunately.
You got me excited cuz maybe i could squeeze a fiver but 15 is a no go for now.

Really? Huh. Not that I need to be spending a lot more money, but I'm weak.

Holy cow, ONE YEAR subscription to Music Unlimited Premium in the US for Plus members: $12! That's insane!

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/11/19/playstation-plus-update-instant-game-collection-comes-to-ps-vita/

That's 80-90% off.

just crazy

 

[Black Republican]

will the jet set radio ps3 save work on the vita?

 

[oldmario]

Typical for sony, they add the one feature i wanted, Wireless CMA and at the same time add ps+ so now there's no point for wireless CMA for me now since i use a ftp to transfer to my vita from pc

What is that? Music streaming for free without ads? But there are free alternatives as well, right?

 

[Sporran]

Anyone else get an email from Sony with early access to a vita app called t@g ?

EDIT: 3g owners only

 

[Carl]

What is that?

Sony's music streaming service.

 

[nicoga3000]

What is that?

E: So it's like Pandora?

 

[VanWinkle]

What is that?

Sony's subscription music service. It's on PS3, Vita, Android phones, stuff like that. I prefer Rdio, but I can't get Rdio on Vita, and I would be stupid not to buy that at that price.

 

[Carl]

Trying to figure this out as well. I'm guessing the music expires after a year (like the games do on your PS+ account?).

You pay for unlimited streaming during that year, so...

WTF! Is it included in Europe too?

 

[Carl]

WTF! Is it included in Europe too?

EU PS+ post usually goes up on Tuesday or Wednesday - guess we'll find out then

 

[ZeroAKA]

I think I read somewhere that Music Unlimited Premium allows offline listening. Is that true or did I just imagine it?

 

[Carl]

Certainly can on Vita and Android, not sure about any other platform.

 

[Ponn]

Quick summary of what's coming for Vita owners tomorrow...

50% Off NIS America Title Sale (time to pick up a copy of Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman)

Oh man, not now, NOT NOW. Is this all NIS games? I need to pick up Z.H.P. and Disgaea 2 for a complete Disgaea collection.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Certainly can on Vita and Android, not sure about any other platform.

Awesome, Vita is enough for me. I probably subscribe then.

 

[VanWinkle]

I wonder if you can purchase multiple years, lol. Doubt it.

I was questionable about PS+ for the longest time, until collected 10 months worth of free codes. Whenever it expires, I'm definitely subbing again.

Your avatar got stained today. My condolences

 

[PaulLFC]

Quick summary of what's coming for Vita owners tomorrow...

Wow, that's quite a list!

- Persona 4: Golden (best reviewed title of Vita Year 1)
- 50% Off NIS America Title Sale (time to pick up a copy of Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman)
- One Year Music Unlimited Premium Subscriptions for $12 (for PS+ subscribers)

These are US only for now, right? I think P4 is next year in Europe, and we didn't get the Persona sale so I don't hold out hope on this one, even if it's a different publisher. Sales seem entirely separate between territories. Not sure on Music Unlimited, I forgot it existed if I'm honest.

 

[Toma]

Oh man, not now, NOT NOW. Is this all NIS games? I need to pick up Z.H.P. and Disgaea 2 for a complete Disgaea collection.

First week sales are
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
Prinny1
ZHP
Cladun2

They wrote that they'll exchange the sale items weekly.

 

[Noi]

Passing up on the Atlus and NIS sales to buy Technika. It better be worth it.

 

[Carl]

I wonder if you can purchase multiple years, lol. Doubt it.

Don't see why not. We'll see, i guess.

WHEEEEEN?!?!?!

Huh?
(1) How do you use FTP to transfer Vita stuff to PC -- I suppose I could see you setting up FTP server on your PC and trying to use the web browser to connect, but I wouldn't think Sony would allow full access to the Vita filesystem there.
(2) How does adding PS+ (bold statement) make wireless CMA pointless? Sure you can push your saves to the cloud, but I don't currently know of a way to actually access that cloud storage DIRECTLY...

 

[Laguna X]

I wonder if you can purchase multiple years, lol. Doubt it.

LOL. That would be amazing if we can. Too good to be true though.

 

[IonicSnake]

I wonder if you can purchase multiple years, lol. Doubt it.

You can buy multiple years, they stack. At least here in EU.

 

[UberTag]

WHEEEEEN?!?!?!

At the moment it looks like we'll be able to pick up Technika Tune on PSN two weeks from now.

 

[Toma]

You can buy multiple years, they stack. At least here in EU.

You dont have the sale though, right? The sale offer might be limited to new members or only one reduced year per member or whatever.

 

[Jeels]

So where can I have a 32GB memory card for closer to $60 than $80?

 

[IonicSnake]

You dont have the sale though, right? The sale offer might be limited to new members or only one reduced year per member or whatever.

I have gotten the offer to buy 1 year of plus at the discounted price when they have it even though I'm a plus member.

 

[Carl]

When EU did a deal on PS+ subs you could buy as many years as you liked.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Being able to play console games while someone else uses the TV sounds like a novelty, but it’s quite useful if you share a TV. New Super Mario Bros. U automatically streams data to both screens while other titles like Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge have an option to turn the GamePad’s from a menu into a game screen.

From http://www.siliconera.com/2012/11/1...ood-bad-and-battery-life/#TUBxhIIr3DQs2zte.99

This makes me laugh.
I'm pretty sure the Vita already let's me do that.

 

[vg260]

So where can I have a 32GB memory card for closer to $60 than $80?

Nowhere currently. Cheapest on Amazon was about $72 at one point. I was holding out for $60 but just caved after no Black Friday deals coming apparently.

All that stuff plus All Stars is a huge week.

Sony's really been winning me over as of late with Plus. I've never paid over $35 for Live, and am sitting on several years, but the comparison is almost becoming totally lopsided.

Really tempted to do the Music Unlimited offer too.

 

[TwoDurans]

Is 2.0 coming out today or at least before the stores update tomorrow? I'd imagine the PSN being pretty stressed if every Vita owner is downloading an update, then close to 8gb of free games.

 

[Tallshortman]

How are the iOS and android Music unlimited apps? $12 looks like a steal.
