Support NeoGAF

[DidntKnowJack]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if I'm already subscribed to PS+ on my PS3, would that carry over to the Vita, or would I have to subscribe separately to take advantage of the free games?

One subscription carries over for use on both. You're good to go.

Why don't you two get a room already

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I've bought stuff that costs just as much as the vita and probably weighs more from amazon.com to canada and I even got my deposit back in full for the taxes/fees that they add at the start.

 

[SniperHunter]

No way of knowing until the sale goes live. I'm just as anxious to know as you are. I've never bought hardware from Amazon.com, but I've bought blu-rays and video games without a problem in the past from Lightning Deals.

Note that the shipping can be expensive and they pre-charge taxes/import fees beforehand, but sometimes the deals are so good that it's still a significant savings over buying in Canada.

dang! lets hope the shipping is kept to minimum. The ass creed vita bundle isn't even on sale in Canada.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

I'd essentially buy this just to play Assassin's Creed. Can anyone confirm that that game is at least worth playing, lol?

 

[Takao]

What is your major malfunction? You keep making the same post over and over, we get it the Vita is not popular and nobody cares about it, why don't you move on to another topic?

he's doing it so that he can get a vita before you guys
think about it

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Man, so tempted to pick this up myself, but..

My poor Vita is a little dinged up (battle scars), so I'm not sure I could get a decent resale value out of it.

 

[Pranay]

I wish i could buy one

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I like this ending line:

Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation received a 6 out of 10 from Polygon, stating "Ubisoft's desire to transcend low expectations for handheld spin-offs is clear."

If it got a 6/10 Ubisoft clearly failed their desire, lol.

You know 6 means pretty good right? Above average, worth a shot. Even a 5 would be "transcending low expectations".

I am posting facts, it has nothing to do with that.

Not in this current climate.

Welcome new Vita owners. It's really nice over here.

If mine isn't in my hands, it's in this, with the lid closed. It still looks brand new. (And not because I never play it before anyone says!)

PHP Vita Hard Case by the way. It holds 8 games and two memory cards in recessed slots in the bottom too. It's a must buy as far as I'm concerned, I got mine for a tenner from Tesco.

Too bad it has no gaems!

 

[Sean]

Does the same PS+ subscription work on both platforms (PS3 & Vita)? Meaning if I buy this Vita bundle and sign up, I could also download the free PS3 stuff too?

I assume so, just wanna make sure.

 

[PaulLFC]

You've interviewed everyone who can order from Amazon have you? No, you haven't, so you aren't "posting facts".

Yes

Nothing gets me excited for a new system like the prospect of playing a game that technically isn't too bad.

 

[Chavelo]

Oh god, I promised myself I wouldn't get it but I just got 50 bucks outta nowhere from a friend and now it looks like 130 dollar purchase, or even a 105 dollar if I manage to sell a game today. D:

FFFFFFFU-

I'm not saying it's a dazzling review, I'm simply saying that it's a review that "transcends low expectations".

Woot woot!

 

[Rootbeer]

This deal is so good that I'm tempted to buy a second vita so I can have one exclusively devoted to homebrew

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

Wish it came in black.

 

[Duffyside]

The Earth rotates on an axis, theretofore this deal wont sale

 

[Sean]

Yes

Thanks.

Guess I'll try to get one of these then, even though I'm probably wasting my time. I expect it to sell out in a second or two.

 

[Onemic]

So does anyone know if the shipping is only to the US or will they ship to canada too?

 

[AranhaHunter]

Seems like I'll miss out on the deal. Have to go out with the fam and doubt I'll be back in 2 hours. Oh well.

won't hurt to try mang

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Hot Shots Golf was always my system seller. I'm sure I can get it for dirt cheap now.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Hell of a deal there. I would really be eyeing this one if I didn't already buy my First Edition way back.

hehe I got one of those from target on clearance since I was planning on getting a vita today... decent case aside from one seriously major flaw of popping open if you drop it on the seam lol. Given I was just planning on using it to protect my vita from dust though it wasn't a big deal.

Looks like the placeholder deal page is up:

[Splash Wave]

PSOne games are rad on this, right?

 

[HBroward]

So what is the average download size of Vita games. Would a 16gb card be enough, or is a 32gb really necessary?

 

[dallow_bg]

PSOne games are rad on this, right?

They look incredible.
And emulator was just updated so you can fully customize controls.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I have a 16 GB card and it seems like plenty to me. Though, I buy mostly retail.

Retail games tend to range about 1 to 3 gigs.

 

[Splash Wave]

Excellent. How easy is it to get video files onto this thing, and how is the battery life when running them? I might be taking this on a plane to Europe.

 

[zulux21]

as long as they aren't crash bandicoot, spyro, ff5, or a select few more related they are. as far as I know there are still 13 or so ps1 games that don't work on the vita... though that might have changed with an update and I just didn't hear since sept.

 

[MikeE21286]

Can I use my analog stick on d-pad only games yet?

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Not a complete list, but this gives you an idea about the sizes of Vita games.

[Zero-Crescent]

Well that's interesting, it looks like you will not be able to use 1-Click to order it, according to the terms on the deal page.

 

[HBroward]

Thanks, 16 will be fine for me then. Pretty much buying this while praying we see a slow trickle of JRPGS over the years as with psp.

 

[Takuan]

So what is the average download size of Vita games. Would a 16gb card be enough, or is a 32gb really necessary?

As an owner of a PSP Go, I can tell you that it took no effort at all to fill its 16GB of space. Keep that in mind if you're planning on going fully digital.

 

[dallow_bg]

Yup.

I try and buy retail whenever possible, it would just be for PS+ titles I guess, or any of my old PSN purchases that are compatible.

Yea, thats what I thought to. I had alot of digital PSP games already though and i've been buying more digital Vita games because its just so tempting to have everything on the card. When you start seeing how slow it is to transfer back and forth from PS3/PC you just don't even want to mess around and have everything there.

 

[PaulLFC]

For PS+, uncharted is over 3GB and Gravity Rush is about 1.6GB. I'm not sure on the sizes of Wipeout, JSR etc.
