I believe Lumines(along with Dungeon Hunter Alliance) is getting a price drop with tomorrow's update, if that strikes your fancy.

Isnt that just to get it inline with retail which has been $30 for some time? $15 is the magic number I am waiting on.

[Leona Lewis]

Rayman and LBP Vita are mine.

Lumines too if the price drop for that one is true.

Such a web store doesn't exist for the US, right?

When's the Soul Sacrifice JP demo coming out?

BUY RAYMAN

Do you know the rumored price drop? I think it is going to be $25-$30 after tomorrow.

Unfortunately not, no

 

[dallow_bg]

LOL I ran out of space on my (16gb) memory card.

will have to delete some demos, i guess

edit: BTW, regarding button control of the OS, the other thing you can't do with buttons is delete and check the size of bubbles (and change the wallpaper) -- for moving bubbles, I can understand that just isn't practical without drag n drop

They should do it by holding Triangle on a button. At least to get to the Delete/Info area.

Anyone?

I can help. Just PM with details.

I'd help, but I have no idea how Paypal even works(even though I have an account lol) ):

Also, a sale starting tomorrow. Highlighted all the Vita games.

Finally I'll have Escape Plan.

Could be! I had no idea it dropped at retail, but I'm with ya on that price point. Maybe it'll be $25/$26 since Ubisoft always has a small discount on PSN Vita games?

@The Grim Bieber

who are you talking to

gulp

thanks

gulp

why are you gulping

 

[kiyomi]

why are you gulping

I like to swallow

useful information.

Plus I'm quite excited for it.

Thanks! Basically I would need your PayPal email address and I would just send you the money to your account.

But hold fire for now, we can sort out the details later. Who knows I might end up getting you so it would be weird for you to buy your own present!

NOOOOOO!!!!!

I just bought PSA:BR and LBPvita two days ago! D:

I'll probably cave for Rayman on Vita.
Its funny, all summer we were nibbling at any news of games coming out. Now I have way too much to do on my Vita.

EDIT- What's the filesize for Rayman & Escape Plan?

I have 2.9gigs left.
Might cave for a 32gb soon..

I will do the secret Santa thing tomorrow if a US'er can sort me out

Hey we still haven't sorted anything out really. Who has who, how many people overall and when we're doing it. As far as I know the only thing settled is a min/max of $5-10.

 

[bradigor]

It was on sale last month. Don't bank on another one.

Shame, before I had my Vita

We'll be doing it during christmas 24th-26th december (whenever works for you). We'll still wait until 20th for more people to sign up, then I'll tell everyone who they need to gift to.

However, I cant work out which US gaffer can help people who dont have a US card. I'd say those people have until 20th to find someone to help them.

 

[Sol1dus]

Did the Spyro and Crash games that were offered on PS+ ever work on Vita?
I see videos of people playing Crash on Vita but I have no luck on downloading them.

I'll post a list of the PS1 and PSP games I own when I get back from work. I could do the list of games now, but since I'm on my phone adding myself to the actual Secret Santa list will be awkward.

 

[VanWinkle]

Rayman is finally low enough for me to buy despite having it on PS3. Also picking up Escape Plan, and Dyad for PS3.

 

[mattiewheels]

Vita Rayman more expensive than PS3 Rayman. I mean, I know its secretly the better version, but damn Sony.

Really horrible review for Sonic Racing

Vita review

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/12/17/sonic-all-stars-racing-transformed-vita-review

but otherwise Sumo’s racer has had quite the visual downgrade. Put it this way: we’d be surprised if the 3DS version looks much worse when that finally arrives, and running next to Mario Kart 7, it’s clearly the uglier game of the two.

It’s not as if this visual downgrading has any noticeable improvement on performance, either. Quite the contrary, in fact: we noticed more frame-rate hits on the Vita version of Transformed than any of the console versions

This is bad

(to be fair however I'm not sure if it's just IGN trashing Vita games/port as always or the port is really that bad..one can't trust the like of IGN these days especially for handhelds).

Ecolibrium patch is out in Europe:

https://twitter.com/HiddenAway1/status/280741380052107264/photo/1

1.03 includes:

• New species
• A new Ecosystem class
• A new Challenge Ecosystem
• 3 new Unlockable Ecosystems
• Daily auto-saving of the game to the cloud (huh?)
• Possibility of removing temporary artefacts
• Improved rankings and auctions

 

[spats]

Already deleted that game. Was fun for a few days.

Seems like SCEA dropped the ball yet again with +, this time on the Vita side. No new announcements for this week and next week is christmas.

And it's the newer game, so it makes sense really.

Is there any additional content at all in the Vita version?

They are wrong. It looks good, it plays well. In fact I have played the Vita version more than the 360 version.

But I am also excited! I need to play some more Persona before I make the switch to my JPN account.

Kiruko Otonashi Santa chan.

oh that's me except i'm no bieber

But no, that isn't good. AmiAmi has it for 4,450 JPY right now, and that comes to a little over $50. I don't know how much they'll charge for shipping, but EMS could be 1200 JPY, which is about $14. So you'd be saving a bunch of money just getting it from Amiami.

there is still two more weeks for SCEA to release games this month since in that holiday deal post they announced they would be updating on mondays instead of tuesdays for the next few weeks meaning 12/24 and 12/31 are ps plus update days. Last time we had 5 updates people went crazy over the poor week 5 update, perhaps this time they are spreading the content out more to make sure they have content to update all 5 weeks.

If I've never played Ninja Gaiden before, is Sigma the best way to play it?

 

[Jamix012]

You can poke the screen and occasionally shit happens.

 

[Sid]

If I've never played Ninja Gaiden before, is Sigma the best way to play it?

If you are asking about the VITA version then no it isn't since it runs at 30 FPS but if you value portability and nice graphics it is a nice port.

 

[Dantis]

NGB is the best version. Sigma has the best graphics, but the new content is poor and half-assed.

im happy with a sale on 40 ps3+vita games for 3 weeks...

lets get real, its not like vita can keep supporting amazing ps+ sales and freebies.. they have to make them last throughout the years.

it has a decent library yes...but it doesnt have a HUGE one where they can afford to put out 40 vita games on sale


also what are the odds the vita library doubles next year?? or will it only go up by 50% you think?
