No problem! With Guac, as with all PSN games, if you just buy the PSVita version you'll get the PS3 version added to your download list too
Almost top of the page: Buy Guacamelee!
I own a 4/16GB in addition to my 32GB. I'm going to try this. I'll put all the "outcast" games on the 16GB.

EU Plus people, VLR is free right now if you search for it. MGS HD left the IGC.
I'm in the process of swapping out all of my Minis/PSM/PSN games onto my 16GB. I'll use my 32GB purely for full games i think.
Then at some point i might buy anotuer 32GB to use instead of the 16GB >.<

Here is how I have set it up!
All crap psn apps in one folder with only important apps outside.
I am loving it how icons are not bobbing up and down in folders.
There is one folder with crap apps! Welcome Park, Network Provider and Remote play [for now]
Remote play isn't crap!
When Vikings Attack, LBP2, Sly Cooper, Singstar Playlists, ICO/SOTC, Tokyo Jungle, GOW HD.
I demand you get it out that folder now!

It's just Hitman Absolution on PS3. :/ They're putting it on sale this week (for non-PS+ scrubs) so they've also let everyone know it's going on PS+ in May.
I do wonder how they can follow up VLR and Thomas Was Alone, haha.
When the PS4 releases, it will get a top spot!
Disgaea, please! IGC could do with some RPG love.
I wonder what that would mean for the European countries that don't have Disgaea available. Do we get a PSP Lego Batman instead?
Ughhh i'll try and find it, can't remember exactly when he said it >.<

Lol @ injustice iOS looking better than mortal kombat while running in a higher resolution. Either mortal kombat sucks or unreal is garbage on vita.
Well, we do get good Playstation Plus games... VLR is just an example
None that i'm aware of. The "anti-kids buying" way to go for me is to password protect payments.
Framerate?
Yeah, but I hate that everytime there's a sale campaign it's PS3-exclusive. Vita only gets Plus IGL games and Plus discounts and that's it (well not always but you get the idea... even the 12 gifts for christmas and the eastern eggs discounts were for PS3 only).
Also to be noted that even though I think Plus is a great deal for your money I personally don't like it, it feels too much like renting for me and I really want to own the games I play forever~~~

It's probably similar to the NFSMW situation. Injustice iOS is an Infinity Blade clone that somehow manages to have even less depth than IB while Mortal Kombat Vita is a full fighting game. It'll be interesting to see how XCOM iOS turns out though...
Still only two characters on a stage in both games.
Wow, I am impressed by the iOS version and disappointed by MK Vita. The Vitas Hardware isn't lacking that much behind the Ipad. With lower resolution and less OS overhead they should have at least comparable graphics.

Finally I got all the crowns!
Thanks to all the players that helped me here!
I immediately bought the COMPLETE DLC (including 3 courses and 3 characters) but I sadly noticed that you don't have any challenge on the new courses, right? Are those just for practice and online play?
Thanks.
How do I find out how to get the crowns in the game? It doesn't give out any hints in the game to say "you need to do so and so"

Downloading now...Check again on April 12.
Done some shifting between memory cards and organising (thanks 2.10). Now got ~8GB free on my 32GB. Not brilliant but better than where i was before! My 16GB is about half full, so should be good for PSM/PSN/Minis
Yay organisation!
32GB card -
Edit: Bugger, realised that should be called "Full games" not PSN games
16GB card -
Definitely need another 32GB

Injustice ios is pretty nice looking and running (looks much better than the tekken card game). MK vita is so sloppy visually (even the movies aren't properly sized or compressed) that it's obvious vita could have done it more justice, and DOA 5 proves it. Regardless, I know I'd much rather play MK than injustice ios though!
The game doesn't tell you until you've bested platinum, but you can find them online if you want to.

A gifgaff gaf'er!
I ended up getting a T-Mobile SIM from eBay for £18 with 12 months data allowance (500MB per month) hoping that once it's up they will be doing a similar promotion again.
That's a nice bargain. I went for GiffGaff because i don't use the 3G too often, but it's nice and cheap to top up for a month if i need it
It won't as some retail games don't need memory card! The icon is saved in system memory hence the icon will remain there when u will switch the card.
Ah i see. Thanks, that's annoying.

Even if iPad had the same resolution as vita, it still wouldn't be as capable. Vita has it's own dedicated super fast vram pool and a low level api that allows coding to the metal. Vita is probably Not to mention that iOS isn't a gaming os and opengl es sucks ass in comparison to the PlayStation GL(libgcm?). The only excuse I can come up with is that either unreal is garbage in vita, or it was a shitty port. I think it might be both.
Its both. They had a hard time with the engine on Vita. And they kept degrading the graphics until the game was running at 60 fps! Without optimizing the code much. Not to mention the space limitation they had. They even turned alpha off. Hence shang tsungs beard looks like a black blob. SFXT and DOA5 are stellar ports to showcase the power of vita.
It doesn't matter. The vita is always going to be outpaced my mobile devices pretty soon. The mobile market is to the handhelds, what the PC market is to the consoles. There is no way a 250 dollar device can match another device which costs twice as much or more for any significant period of time. We should not be surprised to see better looking games on ios than the vita. What the vita will always have an advantage in, as usual, is that games inherently play better on it, since it is a dedicated gaming device.
Yup, bought and downloaded already (UK).Eu Gaf Guacamelee is up, 12.99 or 10.39 for Plus
Anyone already bought it?? I had two day one buy problems with PSN (Dokuro and Sine Mora) I would love to know if there's any problem before buying

Yes - but as long as they don't make ipad with buttons the games will keep sucking apart from tower defenses and card games.

I watched Guacamelee for about 30 minutes on twitch last night and realized I would like it. I just can't justify $12 on it.
I think if it hits the $7-$8 mark I'll definitely pick it up.

I'd say a little of both. Let's look at it like this. Neither Unreal nor Unity were supported on Vita (Unity now is but that's not the point I'm making). Well, Escape Plan uses the Unity engine despite it not having been a supported engine. Developer Fun Bits had to do additional work to get it working on Vita, and it looks amazing. Great 2.5D graphics. Netherealm clearly didn't put the same effort into bringing the Unreal engine into the Vita as Fun Bits did with the Unity engine.
What I think they did, and what I think happens too often with console-to-Vita ports, is continue cutting graphical effects (in this case, resolution and especially character models taking a HUGE hit) until the game ran how they wanted: 60fps and fully animated backgrounds. Now you have to applaud them for doing this at all; there's a lot more going on in the environments in MK than DoA5+ and certainly more than Injustice on iOS. However, its clear that they didn't do proper optimizations to get it to something that did the Vita more justice. Its a shame they took almost all of it out on the character models, because if they had kept the fidelity of those, the game would be quite striking, even with it being sub-native.
Shame that 2D games have a price point stigma.
I was just thinking that. Having played it a little over an hour so far, the game is more than worth $11.99.
