Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | March 2013 | Carving an Independent niche

pfft what do you think the vita is... a ps3?
you don't need no stinkin' double space to install stuff.



it makes me sad when i see people call plants vs zombies a cell phone game as it origins are on PC not phones :/

Then pardon my ignorance I 1st heard of it as an I-Pad/Phone game. I guess that explains why I enjoy it as I hate mobile gaming that isn't Sony, Nintendo, or many years ago SNK.
 
Disgaea 3 installed without me having double the space.
I had about 3 GB free, and the game is 2GB.

Whoa at the lack of manual. I have it on mine.

Yeah, it's different here since it seems Sony fixed the swap install file issue. On PS3, you need double the space just to even download and install the item. It makes getting some PS3 games that were disc/retail games royally stupid on PS3. But here what the item says it needs is what it gets (before needing more space for saves/DLC/patches...)
 
I don't know why but I bought MGS 1 for vita! I am still not sure why i did it! But I did! Nostalgia got the better of me. and this brought my total to 50.2 thereby in a twisted way giving me mgs for free.

Why did I do it. I should had waited. :( would had bought Virtua tennis. :( or that patapon bundle .:(

Will I be able to buy patapon bundle? I already have patapon 1! Is the online portion of Patapon 3 still working?
 
whaaa, I thought people were saying you did need double space. :)

That Bentley's Backpack minigame collection for 2.99?

Is that standalone or do you need sly 4?

Buy some LBP costumes.

Not a bad idea. I'll add it to the possibility list.

insta-get at $15. where is the PS+ discount...

This would do it. Dammit!

I hate that double the data to download shit on ps3. I had to delete SF IV AE,& RE 5.

Get a new hard drive. Your PS3 loves you. Why don't you love it? :(

you are pardoned :P
And on a different note, a little more education when it comes to plants vs zombies would be related to the brilliance that was the marketing for the game at the start.

on April 1st 2009 popcap merely sent out this video and while it had a date tied to the end of it that wasn't typically an april fools date it still quickly went viral across the gaming sites at the time as no one could be sure if it was an elaborate april fools joke or not lol.

another random note on the game, in the original PC release the dancing zombies looked more like Michael Jackson, after his death the people in charge of the estate filed a complaint and they had to change the dancing zombie to look less like him :P

ikr. it would have been an awesome way to end off the marvellous March if Sony and SEGA decided to have Plus discounts! missed opportunities :/
 
Any votes for Front Mission 3? Then I'd just throw in GR DLC or something.


Also PJM. Never played it. I thought about Machinarium, but I've played most of it on PC. Then there's Eternal Punishment, but it's not discounted and I haven't started IS.
 
Probably late, but Limbo confirmed coming to Vita this year.

Are there any PSP games at a reasonable price that I should have? I'd give Gurumin a chance, but it's a tad expensive for what I'm looking to spend.

can you stand tower defense games at all, and have you ever played the pixeljunk monsters game?

Good thinking -- I bought PJM PSP when it was $5 at some point... even though I've always disliked the game.

Some TD games are okay though -- I liked Defense Grid on Steam... ugh, Sony, why you gotta make it so I'm <$2 short! Evil conspiracy... cause if I buy a $15 or $20 game, I'm going to try to make it to another $50 to get another $10 back... vicious cycle. I don't think any of the games I own have DLC (on Vita or otherwise) to pickup either.

Sorry to be a drag, guys.
 
I've only spent $50 this month, but I should be getting $50+ back if everything turns out well. Going to spend that money on Totori and Soul Sacrifice. ;)

Thank you, Vita referral program.

I'd say Untold Legends Warrior's Code for $15 like I always do but that's a bit too much for you.
Hmm, I agree, PixelJunk Monsters is actually pretty fun and looks great on the Vita.
There's some SNK games that are by themselves, Metal Slug and some others.
 
Can someone set up an automatic redirect to the newest NeoGAF Vita thread's newest page? That would be really useful for me trying to keep track of this discussion.
 
You mean you need to spend $23 to get another $10 back. Sounds like more of a deal if you put it like that!

gahhh. I need to find $23 to spend.
I mean.. fine there are good games.. but I wouldn't want to get them at the current price... (if not for the $10 back)
 
Oh I love it I'm just poorer than dirt. What's the largest hd a ps3 slim can hold.
I need more memory for PS3 however my Vita 4gb is really killing me.
I hate that I have to delete games constantly then when I reinstall it announces to my vita brethren that it's the first time I am playing the game. My one pet peeve. Other than that the Vita is my favorite system ever.
I am more of a console guy, however I'm reaaaaaaaaly feeling this.
 
hmmm my disgaea 3 download also doesn't have a manual... i wonder *puts in the physical copy*

nope it just tells me it wants me to delete the digital version if I want to use the physical version lol.

oh hey it at least kept my save file with out me needing to do anything... it would have been such a shame if i lost my level 1 save file hehe.

I have a 500gb drive in my PS3. I think I got it for like $50 on black friday?

Already have on PC :p

Picked up PJMD, so now I just need to spend $5 and Front Mission 3 is somewhat appealing. It's tough being a graphics whore :(

UNACCEPTABLE!
(I own it on all platforms :P)

Big Sky Infinity has a new retro mode DLC for $1. Is it any good?

Maybe the original save file bubble from the physical version is causing the problem?
 
Crazy deal on that hard drive corrosive. I'll have to checkout newegg.com.

I will be rocking out on ps3 even after I get a PS4 regardless. Don't all PS3s take laptop harddrives?


Really interesting facts zulux & awesome marketing I actually remembered seeing that after watching it. I just got into the game a month ago. It is digital crack. That sucks that we didn't get a Zombie Thriller MJ homage.
Although I can understand why his fam was upset about it especially the timing.
 
Did anyone notice that the Vita version of Sly 4 has 909 user reviews while the PS3 version only has 202? Did the vita version sell better or something?

Unit 13: 10.99
Lumines: 13.22
Virtua Tennis: 14.99
Sly 4: 26.99
Tales of Graces f: 34.99

I don't think user Reviews are indictive of how much units a game sold digitally at least in this case. Keep in mind that the PS3 ver. is apparently among the Top 5 selling games during February.
If anything, only 202 of the people who bought the PS3 ver. posted user reviews.

I think only digital copies of the game have user reviews. Obviously, the NDP does not capture digital sales.

I think it is a pretty good indicator that Sly may have sold more copies digitally on the vita. Probably not in terms of total copies though, this I agree.

Maybe more people bought the Vita version digitally compared to the PS3 one. You can't post reviews for games bought at retail.

I'll be rocking my ps3 for a bit til I get a steamPC up and running... plus for the exclusives or whatever that I haven't played.

And yes, you can get a 500/7200rpm for $70ish at the moment:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136856

If you go with 5400rpm, you could get even cheaper.
 
Bought both parts of Persona 2 and Klonoa recently. Memory's going to be a hassle, but ah well. Hope I enjoy the ride.

EDIT: Power Stone and Persona are both still $9.99. Should I bite?
 
Can't speak for Persona but I bought Power Stone on sale for 5 bucks a year or so ago and...meh...I loved the games as a kid but I realized that was only for the incredible multiplayer with friends. The psp collection only has adhoc multiplayer, no online, so you're stuck with the single player content which isn't that fun.

Oh, and Power Stone 1 had awful load times for some weird reason

PS: awesome avatar

Power Stone was $5 until today, so I'd say no now. Wait for the next sale on it if you're really interested.
