Man PSAllstars is awesome. Best $12 I've spent this year. I love the production values and I am having a blast with it. Much better than I expected.
 
Spurts of Jet Set Radio, Killzone Liberation, and Black Ops Declassified (I know... but it was free)

Also some heavy PS All Stars online


I have Gravity Rush and Wipeout lurking on my other 4GB card



Too many games on Vita to look forward too but it looks like my eye is on:

-God Eater Burst
-Sonic Racing Transformed
-SF X T (ehhh)
-Powerstone Collection (omg I wish this was online...)
- A full playthrough of the MGS series starting with MGS on PS1 then MGS HD Collection

I have my hands full, literally

Don't sleep on SF X Tekken; it's actually pretty decent. I've put in quite a bit of time in it for the last couple of days. I'm hoping we get the ver 2013 patch this month too!

Fake edit: Looking back at my last few posts, I'm starting to sound like a SF X Tekken evangelist lol
 
Only if everyone sets it to a minute later at launch, and that's only if you get like-minded people. Given the random people in your "club" nature it's just going to be a headache to get that with "on-time." Most people are either going to be early or late.

It doesn't work that way. If you set your clock to 7 AM, you will wake up with other 7 AMers.
If someone sleeps in, you won't get the trophy that time, but eventually (and way more often than not) you will be successful.
 
I got a sweet deal on this, 3G/Wifi Bundle with 32GB card for 200 bucks. Are the sales for digital releases pretty steady or am I still going to be finding better deals on physical copies of games?

Also what's the story with the AR stuff? Is it anything special?

You need good lighting, but it works rather well and has a smooth framerate. No must-own AR application yet, though.

I wonder if DOA5 will make any use of it...
 
The price.
If the game was 20 or even 30 dollars, people would be all over it.

I'm loving it, but I knew what I was getting for the money.
OMG PALEWING

For me, I am just not a fan of the series. I played it on the 360 and just couldn't get into it. So, for even $20, I would pass.

I think some people were put off by the late decision to go digital only. I know some people like to own physical copies of their games. There also is the issue of larger memory cards being so expensive, so other people are hesitant to buy a lot digitally since they can't hold more than a game or two at a time with a smaller card.


How is that a surprise?

I don't know the numbers, and the Vita still perhaps achieved their sales forecast. But I did expect solid numbers considering the big Black Friday push to move units. $200 plus a bundled game at every major retailer. Amazon's deal was cheaper and included 2 games. I was expecting some decent sales.
 
I have a 32GB card.

Uncharted Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Motorstorm RC, Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, Wipeout 2048. (5 Games). I have 21GB left.

Digital especially on a hand held is just great, and with Playstation Plus and some great cross buy promotions. There is no excuse.

Planning on adding Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Persona 4 Golden, Desperate Escape, and Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 as soon as i find deals on PSN.

Love my Vita.
 
Been playing a lot of PSASBR lately, haven't touched CoD, Uncharted, Gravity Rush or JSR in a while lol. Anyone wanna play sometime? I'm xJavonta on PSN.

You pay more money for less of a space upgrade for your dinky iDevices, and they don't come with an alternative media methods.

Dinky iDevices? Grow the fuck up.

if you live in the USA you will almost always find better prices physically then digitally when it comes to any of the major console shops (psn, xbl, eshop) as long as you know where to look.

Heck last year the physical stuff was on average $10-$15 cheaper than the digital day one because new egg was rocking a number of preorder discounts.

Other countries it might not be this case.

Kaz said it was on the "low end" of their expectations. I saw a ton of AC3:L and COD:BO:D commercials the past two months, so I guess they tried their best with such a mediocre set of "killer apps"...

This (plus the Bioshock Vita disaster) will hopefully teach Sony that if they want to save Vita from the brink, they'll have to do it with their own internally developed AAA efforts like they did with PS3. Lord knows third parties couldn't give two shits at the moment about either handheld.

whatd you do with the multiple psn accounts? did you keep his 9 games?
 
Well, I'm not having Motorstorm RC problems at all... just had to kind of reunlock stuff, but everything's there that I've earned before, even though it won't let me pull my save down from the PS+ cloud.

Wonder if others who were having problems are now good to go?

I think that's someone else who posted in this thread (I've been reading). I got mine off another GAF member.

Yeah I got 12 request, most of them read "vitabro" or "vitagaf" heh.

Come to think of it, can't I just import the US version of Persona 4 Golden and still be able to play it on my EU PS Vita and EU PSN account?

BAAAAANG

Have any recommended sites for importing? All my importing has been done through Amazon.
I don't import very often, but I used CDJapan twice before and was satisfied. But I know that amiami is good AND is $10+ cheaper than CDJapan.
 
Any Vita deals out there at the moment?

Any Vita you buy is a fantastic deal. The system is seriously fantastic.

I don't think there is a sale or anything at the moment. I would recommend grabbing the AC bundle if you can still find it and you want a white system. It looks amazing and has the best bundled game IMO.
 
I am kind of surprised I see two mentions for Unit 13. Is it actually good? Also, Dungeon Hunter Alliance. Is it worth it? I am dying for a good dungeon crawler rpg for ps3-vita.

Unit 13 is mission based with highscore in minds. Missions are short, no story worth mentioning, but for a cover shooter its quite good.

Dungeon Hunter alliance is not worth much more than 20$ seeing as its a straight port from the 12$ PSN game, but its a pretty good 20 ish hour long dungeon crawler with boring loot (+ Stats, no special abilities) and nice controls. I liked it.
 
Eek, Vita sold half in its first holiday NPD what PSP sold...in its sixth.

Gonna be a fun E3!

/sadface

I don't even care anymore. Its still gonna get some games (I mean we're still getting around 1 psn game at least a week) probably a bunch of ports but I've had an amazing time with the system. Most played system this holiday season.

I only care about Japanese games mostly and Western Sony studios which all are still making games for vita.

So my Hori grips came in the mail.

My review: They make the Vita too bulky, and it makes you hold it in a way that your thumbs are laying on or over the sticks. Pulling out the handles makes you grip it in a way that your thumbs are sort of out of reach of the d-pad and buttons. It also blocks the slot for the physical media as well.

Clunky and awkward. Better than using the Vita without grips, I guess. 2/5.

The PDP Grips are perfect in terms of how it lays in your hands and allows you to hold the Vita in a way that lets you use all buttons with ease, perfect for both 2D and 3D. Unfortunately those dumb fucking shoulder triggers are worthless. The triggers rub against the grip and causes really awful friction, making the shoulder buttons unresponsive. Ugh. Maybe I'll try tightening the screws with a screwdriver.

I hated the hori too. My pdp shoulder buttons are fine though, no friction.

I mean I want to see more sports games (though I really only care about FIFA Madden which I know both will continue). But sony and japanese games will be pretty much enough for me as well. PSN games are also surprisingly fun (I never played many DD games until PS+)


I just worry that the system will be declared dead by sony and there will be NO support past this year. But I really think Sony's got a bunch more money to throw around before they give up.

Sony invested too much to declare it a failure. Tbh I think Vita could do well if they CARED tho... Lol
