Comfortably sitting in 77th place on the first challenge leaderboards in Kaizoku Musou 2. Onward to first place! :3
The font, the emboss, the bezel, the 'minimalist pixel art' supplanted by googly eyes. Glorious title!
ps store update is live
Note: all prices might not be accurate as the blog can have errors
note 2: all games may not play on the vita, I don't care enough to check every single game for compatibility for the vita, I just post the psp/ps1 sales figuring most of them will work.

Finally some Sony PSP game pricedrops.
The CCP has made a world of difference for me! Christ it's like actually being able to hold something now! Saw one in the shops today and tried it out. Ordered mine last week, so hopefully it arrives soon.
wait a second... are you talking about NA? motorstorm arctic edge hasn't been on the NA psn....did they just sneak it back on?!

Guys, there is something I don't understand with Sony accounts management and PS+.
My Vita is arriving in two days (can't wait!). I already bought my PS+ sub. I also have a roomate who owns a PS3 but who never wanted the PS+.
1/ Can I connect my account on his PS3 so that we enjoy PS3 games offered via PS+? Will he be able to enjoy them under his PSN profile as long as mine is connected?
2/ I read in FAQs that one PS+ account can only be used simultaneously on two consoles. At the end of the year when I move out, I'll certainly buy my own PS3. Can I remove my account from his console and put it on mine (brand new) to enjoy my PS+ sub from the beginning? (yes he'll lose everything he enjoyed from my account, not the issue here)
If all this works then PS+ is amazing.

I am indeed talking about NA as I am copy and pasting from their blog
I should likely have something like *all sales might not be legit, there is like a 15% chance the blog has something wrong
I should also note that I just post the psp/ps1 games in general, I don't know which ones are and aren't available on the vita.

Just checked, no. Such bullshit. Why even have it on sale?
yes, that would work
just checked and motorstorm is indeed on the north american store now. yay!
although wtf...i just bought the game for ps2 last week thinking it was never coming back lol. and a couple weeks prior, i bought persona 2 psp at full price ($30) before it dropped to half price the following week.
WHYYYYYYY
edit: i checked on the browser store. it's not available on the vita store??? wtf... is it available on the ps3 store?

The Vita store? Because I don't see it. Same with Twisted Metal: Head On.
And what's the point of that? :/
i checked the pc store. it's not on the vita?? can someone check the ps3?
well the psp can download games as well, anyways I updated my post to make it clear that I don't check compatibility, mostly because it's a pain, but also because the compatibility lists I have found are all out of date.

I play for hours and hours on end with nothing but a screen protector on my Vita (which obviously doesn't alter the ergonomics) and have no issues. It's pretty comfy though I wish the physical button size was a little closer to that of the PSP.
What does that have to do with anything? If I was in the 3DS thread I would say the same thing if asked. The Vita has better ergonomics.
I think he's making the point that people in a Vita thread are more likely to side with the Vita's comfort. I'm sure if the same question was posed in the 3DS thread the 3DS would almost unanimously be the more ergonomic console.
Personally, comfort wise, I have no issue with either console. Then again, I've never had an issue with comfort for handhelds so maybe I'm just weird.

I'm curious how Twisted Metal Heads-On and Tomb Raider Anniversary are on Vita? Anyone try them yet?
He's assuming that we are biased towards the Vita because we are in a Vita thread. If someone has both, and they just happen to comment in here when asked by saying they think that Vita has better ergonomics, then the mere fact that we are in a Vita thread doesn't mean anything at all. If there are people in here who don't have have/use a 3DS and yet are STILL saying the Vita has better ergonomics, then that would be a problem, but I don't believe that that's the case.
This is a true statement.
3DS feels GREAT with a CPP. But then again, the Vita feels GREAT with a nice grip, too. Problem is it takes away a lot of the portability of them.
do they sell the xl cpp in north america yet? i need to get one of those.
No idea, EU here
Yeah, although I hardly play outside now a days. I really need to get myself a grip for my Vita.

Well, as long as Soul Sacrifice stays Vita only, I guess.
Square Enix is porting some free to play game to Vita: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/smart/ma/
As much as it might hurt the ecosystem ... I would love SS in HD. Maybe get in some cross controller action going or a lil sum sum
RIP what?
It's not like they are abandoning the Vita version. It's just easy/extra money for them at this point.
A card game, it seems.
I feel bad for PS3 owners because Ragnarok Odyssey is trash.
quality aside,this might mean that GungHo lost its faith for Vita as platform can handles exclusives,which is very bad for the future of the platform.
I give it 9 months max,actually when Sony throw PS4 they might just got for poor Vita for feed PS3 some HD ports.
but hey Textures Sacrifice with decent ground textures and character models will be kinda cool.

i'd be down with a number of free to play games from square on the vita.
Twisted Metal: Head On doesnt work on Vita USA region. Not sure about TR:A. Check the CAG PSV PSP compatibility list.
Also MotorStorm Artic Edge is not compatible with Vita USA region either so thats why it wont show up. IIRC it was removed from PSN due to an exploit with the game but the game got put back a while later. Still, its not compatible in North America PSV store.
Edit: since the game works on JPN/Euro, the exploit worked for them but got removed from all regions.
unless there is a new version of the cag list beyond this then the list isn't fully updated, I mean they still don't have that the disney games are compatible and those became compatible months ago.

I own both a vita and 3ds XL. I may be a little unique in that I have smaller hands and has influenced my comfort level of handhelds/controllers. The original phat ds killed my hands, loved the psp slim. Loved the DS redesign and the OG 3DS. I like the screen on the 3DS XL but the trade off is ergonomics for me. It cramps my hands after an hour or so of play. For me the Vita is definitely ergonomically superior, against OG 3DS its closer but I still would have to give it to Vita for comfort there as well.
Capcom is the only major Japanese publisher with nothing announced/released for Vita in 2013. Where is the thread asking what happened between Sony and them?
Same here, my 3DS feels fine for short bursts but it gets top-heavy during long sessions because of that top screen.
Havent seen anyone comment so im guessing no. And some have posted what has been enabled from a few weeks back like MGS
W. So if anyone wanna try this who owns the game, please comment if you can transfer atleast. But the game wont show on PSV PSN so that means its not compatible. (USA only)Wish I knew. But Tomb Raider: Anniversary apparently works transferring it from PS3 to PSV.
I did notice that it was updated for peace walker, but not for the 5 disney games added to the store late last year, it's odd lol.Havent seen anyone comment so im guessing no. And some have posted what has been enabled from a few weeks back like MGS
