Vita PSN Game And Service Thread

PSASBR, P4, probably FFIX (finally)...Oh my. So many games I want to buy now that I can store them digitally!

Speaking of which, do saves work via backup for all games digitally (like, if I remove Monster Hunter, does the save go away)? Also, is it in fact cheaper to buy digitally vs hard copy via PSN?
 
Sine Mora? Persona 4? Something from the NISA sale? PSABR? PS+ sub? Music Unlimited?

Oh, forgot about Sine Mora.
Still $50 short. ;)
If I buy both, I'm still $40 short. D:

I'll get P4G on a cart sometime when it's <$20 since I don't know if I even like JRPGs anymore and have never played a Persona game.
I don't like Sony Smash for the most part and that's definitely a "buy the PS3 version for $20 or less from GF".
My PS+ is good through like 2015.
Not interested in Music Unlimited and the stuff on sale for NISA this week doesn't interest me either.

I feel compelled to do it, but even if I cave and spend $20 on the UMvC3 costume pack and purchase both Sine Mora games, that's $20 short.
 
I have a physical copy of Persona 4 coming in for $15, but I'm looking at Okami HD. :p I've also got super stardust, Sine Mora and the Wipeout DLC which is tempting. There's more than enough content to reach the $60, not including some PSOne games.

Ah, Wipeout DLC is not included in the PS+ offer? How much does that cost? I notoriously need to buy all the DLC for every game I own (except excessive stuff like Disgaea).

You didn't get WipEout HD/Fury with the PSN hack apology? Or buy it for PS3 when it was like $13 for the pack?

Not sure what it runs now... I have them, so PS Store won't show me the price on my Vita.
 
Buy $60 worth of content between november 20 - 26 and get $10 cash back on PSN in december. It should be easy enough to do if you already have the 20$ sitting in your wallet from the october promotion. :P

we’re giving you another chance to save on PSN. Purchase anything on PSN from November 20th through November 26th that collectively reaches or exceeds $60, including our new Ultimate Editions, and we’ll give you a $10 PSN Wallet voucher in December! This voucher will be delivered via an XMB message on December 6th, and will need to be redeemed by January 6th, 2013.

So if I get a year of PS+ ($50) and Music Unlimited ($12), I'm good for this deal? Or does it have to be $60 in games?

No, I didnt have my US account back then. Just created it for my Vita. Are these single games and not track/vehicle DLC for the Vita game?

Perfectly fine, make sure that 60$ leave your PSN wallet, not directly buying via credit card (Or has that been debunked?). Anyway, you are safe if 60$ leave your PSN wallet no matter what you buy.

Purchase anything, so it couldn't be clearer. :] For the get back $20 when you spend $100, I purchased a year of PS+ along with games and DLC so yes you can buy one year worth of subscription.

It's a new set of tracks and ships and events, I believe.
 
Fellowship of the Vita Bretheren my hype levels for P4G are about to make me shoot through the roof. I can Bearly contain myself <.<. Why isn't work done yet. I'm trying to reach out to the truth from my office but it's not working!
 
Just a few more hours until P4G and I are introduced to one another. Hope I'm dressed alright. First impressions and all that...


Also something for the PS+ newcomers that I've realized over time....

If something is being offered for free and you already own a physical copy of it, go ahead and add it to your download list anyway. That way if you end up selling it (or losing that tiny cart) you will still have access to the game (as long as you have a PS+ subscription). After it is removed from the store as a freebie, you'll have to pay for it or hope it is offered free again if you didn't add it to your download list.

Paying with a credit card actually transfer the amount in your wallet, so it's the same as buying PSN cards. You cannot however buy a PS+ 1 year subscription card in stores and use it to register as $50 spent on PSN.

So if want 1 year of PS+, buy it from PSN or else it won't count toward the promotion.
 
I need to buy 10.01 more.

My option is to buy

Plants v zombie
Daytona usa for ps3 + a cheap .99cent mini
Okami hd, but thats kinda costly and even though its a great game i dont wanna play console games

There is no reason to ever not download something on PS+.
You should always "purchase" it, even if you don't actually download it.

If you don't want to play console games then I'd go for the psone games. PvZ can be had for free - $3 on like every other platform.

Plants VS Zombies is great on Vita. IMO anyway
 
So after using my Wii U the past couple of days, my favorite thing by far is Wiiverse. It's just so cool. I realized Vita has about the closest thing to it with the activity logs in the live areas of each game, but it's still a FAR cry from Wiiverse. What I think would be neat is it people could comment in the activity logs of live areas. Not just reply to activities somebody did, but just put comments in there, and attach screenshots and stuff. Would be really neat and make it a little more like the Wii U's killer feature.

But then you'd have to consider, who sees it? With Wiiverse, it's by region, which works really well, but it may get a little more complicated with the activity screen in the live areas on Vita. Maybe if you had one tab for friend's activities, and then one tab for just general comments and stuff sorted by region. That would work. That way, every game has it's own little "message board" type thing. Drawings are awesome on Wiiverse too. Instead of typing a comment, you can also post a drawing, and a lot of people make some really neat drawings, and the Vita could do that, too.

I'm rambling, but I love Wiiverse, and the Vita could realistically have one with the live area feature.

I think you are agreeing with me. [ Double negatives give me trouble sometimes ;-) ]


The only time I think it doesn't make sense is if you already own a digital copy of the PS+ freebie. I don't see any advantage to having it in your download list multiple times.

Yes, I'm agreeing with you.
And if you already own a digital copy of the PS+ freebie, the item will show as purchased for you anyway, so you can't re-purchase, I think.

I mean, you may say "I'll never use that, I'll never want to play it" but it's free -- whynot just associate the "purchase" with your account so you have it in case you change your mind. (Again, just rephrasing your original statement.)

Free is free. ^_^
 
It is so dark here..
Where are the PS+ games
that will light my day?
 
Say u buy a copy of a game on psn, and then you get a free ps+ copy, how do you differentiate the 2 copies?

You cant buy the "free" PS+ copy if you already purchased it before. Its shown as "owned" for you and therefore you cant use the "purchase" function.
 
What about vice versa then?

Yeah, thats the downside. I dont think it works the other way round either because your account already owns it. You probably would be able to buy it if your PS+ sub ends then.

If you already own whatever it is digitally, then the store may not allow you to "rebuy" the free one. Instead you will most likely see a download button instead of a buy button for it in the store. My original comment was geared towards games you already own a physical copy of.

Edit: Beaten by famous and toma.

However, they could release the free one as a different SKU so the free one would show up different from the paid one. Usually when they do that, the free SKU version doesn't show up in the store after it is longer free. In that case, you would need to go to your download list should you ever need to re-download it.

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse anyone.
 
This update is huge so it probably won't be out until midnight.
That doesn't make any sense.

I wish they updated as fast as XBL. Stuff is usually up super early in the morning. They say updates are Tuesday, but it should really be Wednesday as updates come later in the day.
 
I'm just refreshing this page over and over again until someone tells me the store update is live. Probably gonna pick up PS All Stars as well as all the PS+ stuff. Big day.
 
Do others receive all 5 of those? Sort of though its only the last one you make until they download it.

And I want more sheets as well :( I maybe get like... 1 every week. Got a spot free for someone to leech some sheets? :/

Hmm, I thought everyone got all the multiples. I can't say I'm certain, though.

Yeah I really can't wait for Gravity Rush. I should probably go ahead and beat LBP's single player. I've been taking that game so slow.

It doesn't make sense but that's the way it is. The bigger the store update, the later it comes. I would think that if they had a bigger update they would just start the prep earlier, but apparently Sony doesn't get that. Now, I still prefer this to XBL, because I like have a big update once a week instead of stuff just coming out whenever it's ready throughout. I can see the appeal of both, but I definitely like the weekly update format.

And interesting fact, store updates used to be on Wednesday if I'm remembering correctly. Edit: wait, no, it was thursdays. Even worse.
 
So...how do you subscribe to a year of Music Unlimited? On my Vita, PS3, and my PC I only see an option for a 30-day subscription.
I went here, clicked on my name in the top right (after logging in) and clicked subscription options and it gives me a premium 1 year pass option for £11.99.

If I didn't pay for iTunes Match I'd be all over this. Still might anyway actually, seems like a decent way to discover new music.

EDIT: No offline support for iPhone? :(

I was soooo close to snatching up that deal as well,but then I came to my senses and realized that I only listen to free music anyway. Even though 12$ is cheap, it would be 12$ wasted.
 
I have a dilemma.

My new Vita I ordered from Target just came in. I got it for 250 but it came with a gift card, it was basically 200.

Someone from Amazon said that they're going to have a deal for the ACL White Vita for 200 plus something else that will "make you want to buy it from Amazon".

I can't tell if I should wait until friday before opening the one I have so that I can return it to Target if this deal is way better or not.

I guess it helps that I have a ton of homework so I don't really have time to play... Also I kinda would rather have a black Vita than a white one.

My thinking exactly. Still can't promise I won't waste that money though. :'(
