Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | May 2013 | Lovecraftian Wasteland

Yes, but it is the co-op local or PSN? Sorry if this has been answered already.

That's what I'm wondering. It says "all you need is a wifi connection", but it would be weird if it worked online on Vita but not on Wii U. I mean, Vita has a much more robust online system than the Wii U, but it's not like Wii U is incapable of online play. I'm guessing that it will be local only.
 
Yup, that's how I got mine. White PSVita, 7 games, 2 memory cards(4gb and 32gb) for $190.

Superb deal. Just for The Last of Us I bought a 500GB SS PS3 for 150 even lol. It even came with Madden 13 Niiice. Craigslist is a treasure trove. "We can live like kings!"

@Holmes I've been looking for one that I can install CFW on myself, those usually go for 180 around here and are usually the Phats.
 
I bought a new PS3 Slim just for the Tales of Vesperia English patch, just so it was the right firmware so that I can install CFW on it. Unfortunately I didn't use Craigslist though. :( Paid about $200 plus shipping. Worth is though... my old fat launch console was on its last legs anyway.
 
Gosh I'm thinking about buying my brother's Vita with CoD and Resistance with an 8GB card for $100. I already have one but it would be dumb for me NOT to at that price. I could let my fiancee play that one, too. We'll see.
 
Hey guys, I'm a relatively new Vita owner, I got it at the end of that April sale and got MGS HD collection and Peacewalker for a great price, I am just wondering how often the Vita store has sales and the like, May has been pretty pathetic and I was curious if that was how the store is most of the time or whether May was just particularly barren. US PSN store btw.
 
god the playstation store is complete garbage anymore on the vita.... it took me over 20 minutes to get blazblue to start downloading across 3 different times where it went "waiting for download to start" for that to go away and not start after like 5 minutes...

heck it took 3 tries to get the soul sac dlc.... The store used to be so much better on the vita... why is it such garbage now @_@

iOS boxing game coming to Vita this August.

Guessing this is probably terrible :|
Looks pretty decent. We really should be seeing more iOS/Android ports than we have so far, since Vita and all the recent iOS hardware basically have identical innards.

Amazing gems like Phoenix Wright HD Collection, Ravensword 2, Soul Calibur HD, and Bard's Tale would really fill out release lulls like the one we're currently undergoing and fill in some of Vita's genre holes (plus their relatively high price points for iOS would be more palatable to hardcore gamers more accustomed to shelling out big bucks for quality mobile titles).
 
I decided to grab Valhalla Knights 3 with my Japanese PSN credit and I am currently waiting for it to finish downloading. I'll post some impressions after I've spend a decent time with the game.
 
I'm still getting the download hang from the store :/

Do the people who program the firmware actually use the vita?

.... and I just noticed Blazblue is 3399mb ugh

On the bright side, the last update seemed to have fixed the pausing download problem I had.

With BlazBlue, my 32GB card is officially full.

So I...I...need to know someone else...with a vita? Oh my. O_o

Would be interesting if there was cross-play with PS3. Regardless, I'm just grateful it's coming to vita.
 
Finally got the ability to post, so I thought I'd drop by in the one thread I'll probably spend the most time in. Hello all.

Just one quick thing, has anyone got the Pinball Arcade game to install? I keep getting error: C2-12383-7.

It's a problem on Sony's side. Many people have it since last week. They are working on it but there's no ETA. Might take a while. :\
 
*sigh* This is such bullshit, I have been dying to get a good music mixer on Vita for awhile now, suddenly Sony drops one out of nowhere (imaginstruments) and sadly its not very good. its not bad to mess around with for a short time, but its far too limited. The available instruments are tiny, there is noway export anything you do, and a varitey of other issues that make it somewhat pointless.

they should have just ported Mix superstar from the PS3 as its allot better than this is.

I know. Imagininstruments is kind of cool for what it is but it's insanely barebones. It's sad that the best sequencer on Vita is Sound Shapes lol.

Awesome, please do. I really am interested in this game and I want to get it day 1 probably, unless it's meh.

Wait, it's actually in the store update? And it's disappointing? :\ WHERE IS THE NAX MUSIC PLAYER ARKSYS?!
 
Got my vita today! I'm a vitabro now, the system itself is amazing. Dpad is one of the best I've felt and form factor wraps around my hands real nice. And touch is responsive and feels good to do.

Complete bullshit that psps and vita are put in a single category for activating devices. It's like they punish me for buying their systems. Now I have to go deactivate one just to get my vita going.

I know. It's stupid. I just bought a second Vita and realized I have to deactivate my PSP Go to get anything downloaded on it. :/ Welcome, by the way. Us Vitabros are glorious.
 
Blazblue looks awesome on the vita. It's strange playing on Vita when I'm used to playing on an arcade stick but it's fine. Does PSR not carry over from the ps3 version?

I don't think it is a store problem. Mine downloaded without any problems. Downloading from the far east on a US account btw

If you go to the SEN website, you can remotely deactivate a device, which should let the games work on the PSPGo, as long as you never connect to PSN again.

I've had that problem for the last several months. Worked fine when I first got the Vita, but now it hangs a lot at the "Preparing to Download" thing. PITA.

Oh I will have to try that. Thanks for the tip.

Edit: you can't remotely deactivate it. You have to connect the PSP to the PC. So dumb.
 
I hope everyone bought Yu-Nama: The Puzzle that wanted to. Game is now $5.99

I've asked this before, but how do you guys find about these games? They're not on the drop or blog. Is it because we're from different regions? Half the time I have no idea what anyone is talking about.
 
Sorry if this has been answered already, but do we get to find out what June's Vita PS+ free games are in a couple of days or during Sony's E3 conference?
 
3rd times the charm. This is dumb though. Here's hoping for the next firmware update


Yea, the system prompted me to download the firmware when i first started my vita. Didn't see any other firmware to update unless there is some secret menu for optional patches different from regular firmwares

You can do it that way, but you should also have the option to remotely deactivate it. I had to do that when I got my Vita (since I have 3 PSPs).

Go to account, not devices. Then under account, pick media and devices (it's confusing, not the tab on the top, but on the left).

https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/cam/devices/device-media-list.action

There should be an option to deactivate all

Then just reactivate the ones you want to use.
 
They really need to fix the download list. Why do I need to see all the stuff I can't download on my vita?

On a more positive note, Symphony of the Night looks gorgeous on vita. Didn't think I could see a ps1 game look good on modern TVs/resolutions but the OLED is amazing

Go to settings-->system update-->whichever way you want and see if has an update or not. This one wasn't prompted for me. It was apparently an optional one put out 2(?) weeks ago.

Congratulations. PS Vita has great games and I'm sure you'll enjoy the console for many years. Start with P4G, the best handheld game EVER.

I updated to the newest one when it came out and it took 5 reboots earlier for me to get the Soul Sac dlc downloaded. I have had issues every single time I've tried to download something on my Vita since the problem first started.
 
for whatever reason the downloads all worked when I bought 8 different games last saturday but it's gone back to failing on every download when I tried today

the "solution" seems to be to turn off the vita and restart then start it again from the download list

Ever since I've updated I haven't had a problem (outside pinball arcade), but it seems like I am the exception not the rule. Hopefully they hurry up and put out a fix for it, it was very annoying.
 
I'm on 2.12 hopefully that initial bad run of freezes is the last I see of it.

Does everyone turn off their vitas completely off or just in sleep?
