Only the PS3 allows different region digital stuff to play on different region accounts.
The PSP and PSP2 both are locked to ONE region account, the one that is "signed in"/DRM-okay'd to that system.
So, no.

From my experiences electronics in south east asia are typically the same or typically more expensive than here in the US. The only stuff you may see cheaper are rips/ illegal copies of movies and pc software... and if you want dvds - male sure they play everyone of them for you. Ive had every issue under the sun come up with those dvds so you gotta be on top of them and can typically haggle them down price wise. In fact the name of the game in SEA is negotiating - unless ur in some comercialized place

Playing in Star Mixing I hold the console with my left hand and I use the right one, but when I play Pop Mixing and I am in the train or the bus, I put the Vita in my lap, so I can use both hands.
Is this a good price for the game? (~$40)
Also, since I can't read Japanese, can someone tell me what that note surrounded by yellow says?
If it hasn't been mentioned, at yesterday's Love Live event, they announced they're doing a Vita game.
I don't know japanese, but at least I can tell you the price is fine, I paid 50 euros for my copy.

Sony also revealed the Vita version of R&C: Full Frontal Assault during the last Gamescom.
It would be nice to see that engine get used again, though sometimes it doesn't work out. At one point Sony wanted the Naughty Dog Uncharted engine to become an in-house engine for 1st party studios, but apparently it proved too customized towards ND's uses to work for other studios. There's also the issue of having to set up a support team to help out licensees. Poor support was what made ID fall behind Unreal in the engine licensing business.
There hasn't actually been any official date announcement for J&D in EU, beyond that it's coming.
ASCII Media Works co-owns the property it would seem, so they will probably publish the game themselves.
Sales and PS Plus discounts are good for getting games into impulse buy territory.
*sigh* People really need to...
Yes if it's retail AND you don't want the DLC (if any available)
Else: NO unless you are using a same region account.

Hotline Miami has passed cert in SCEA but not SCEE, so North America soon.. Europe maybe a bit later.
Yes, you can import a retail copy of Dragon's Crown and play it on your EU account. You won't be able to use any DLC (if there is DLC), though.
It was never released digitally in Europe. :'(

I tend to fall into the category of "more good games = more good games", regardless of whether they're late ports or not. The pricing could be better, yes, but as long as we get a good mix of indies and bigger first and third party releases I think most of us will be happy.
There's a great lineup of games in the coming months IMO, I know you only consider a few of them viable releases but a lot of us are excited for most of them.
Yeah I think it's pretty much impossible to censor Senran Kagura considering how fanservice-y the entire game is. Finishers and such make clothes explode, I'm pretty sure they eventually end up full on topless (but censored) so at this point, IMO, if they were to bring it over they should leave it intact so the people who truly want that game will get it.
I've never played VI, I know how revered it is, shame on me. I've basically only played through 1-IV, and then VII onwards. Also there was no confirmation of why they're separate but that is the assumption - the card limit. It works out for me because I refuse to touch X-2.
If you enjoy the platform as much as you seem to do (I truly feel like you do, considering how much you scrutinize or praise things), I'd say stick it out man. Don't bail out on the Vita after X game release, who knows what might be coming. 3DS was never as downtrodden as Vita but look at how much that platform is flourishing now.
If the new game announcements stop or slow down to practically nothing outside of Japan like it did with the PSP, then we should worry. Since Sony Bend is part of SCEE I expect their new game to be shown off at Gamescom, I still have hope it'll be a Vita game, or at least a PS4/Vita game, but ideally a Vita exclusive considering how well Uncharted: GA did.
Bend is part of the Euro division?
I doubt that Lords of Apocalypse will get localized at this point since we haven't heard anything about it since its Japanese release a year and a half ago. Try out the demo on Japanese PSN.I'm going to Tokyo next week. What are the best japanese-exclusive Vita games? I was thinking og Lord of the apocalypse, but it is being released in the west now, right?
No need for an asian versionAlso, no need to be inport friendly, I'll buy it mostly for fun and curiosity.
Get Hatsune Miku Project Diva f. The Vita version controls better than the PS3 version.

I have returned.
Would some gracious poster catch me up on what I might have missed, in terms of Vita news, other than the Futrlab games coming out in NA on 7/9?

5 mediocre Vita games for your "fix"
Asphalt: Injection
If you need your Arcade Racing Fix ,this mediocre game has decent amount of contents (Cars and tracks, multiplayer) it run well with decent framerate, cars look good but it feel on-rail and don't require much skills, also it's still overpriced even when it is a launch game.
Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock
For your Platforming, platforming puzzles and puzzles fix, it's do stuff by the book with nothing super good or new to the genre but it's alright, there are big frame rate issues and the game feel too repetitive toward the end, also it has the worst doctor.
Urban Trial Freestyle
a clone of Trials, inferior in every way but do a decent job for a clone and will give you your fix if you don't have a 360 or PC to get the real deal.
Army Corps of Hell
Want something like Pikimin and Overlord? this game do that only it's not cute or deep, but it do the job if you need your fix on that.
FIFA 13
Sadly the king wont be on Vita, but this is a good alternative, FIFA 13 (actually FIFA 11) is very good looking game and run very smoothly on Vita,however the ball physics might don't be good for the PES veterans, also a full price for a roster update and no impact engine is kinda steep.

No, Bend, Oregon is not a European city, and Bend Studio is not part of SCEE.
CaptainTiptop

Definitely not, lol.
good idea hahaha
Can't blame people thinking of that since SCEE sound like the only active supporter for Vita (last three games Teraway,KZM and Invizimals are from them) people might as well think that Bend is part of them.

Yeah I made the assumption that they were from Europe considering practically none of Sony's American studios are putting out "big" games for the system. My bad :\ Now my hopes are in the gutter, they're probably making a PS4 game.
Sony needs to pull a Nintendo and have X amount of studios ONLY work on handheld games, or at least regularly put out handheld games. Naughty Dog or Sucker Punch could make amazing Vita games, they just outright refuse to from what I've seen in interviews/etc.
If the digital size of J&D isn't that big, I might be getting it digitally. After seeing the good framerate vids from E3 I'm down. I absolutely loved Jak 1 back in the day and never played through 2 or 3 so.
and Both are published by Sony...very smart.
From the E3 gameplay videos Epic Mickey 2 Vita port sound better (it is still a bad game) Jak on the other hand look like a very bad port (one video I think was posted in this thread showed huge framerate drops in Jak 1 tutorial level).
I really think they'll jump to PS4, seeing how SCEA helping RaD which is a small studio I guess they'll also let Bend try it , but let wait and see.
opposite here :/
sorry, i totally failed on my promise. i was so busy this weekend and spent my moments of downtime playing the last of us. i will try to play it tonight, but i have some errands to run again so we shall see.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to wait for impressions on the full game (normally I would have already pre-ordered it), but I'm not quite as negative on it as you. We'll see.
Epic Mickey 2 does look like a good PORT. Not saying anything about the quality of the game itself. What's actually not good about that game, btw? I know it got bad review scores, but I don't know what's actually bad about the game.
No problem. I don't blame you for choosing to play The Last of Us over it, lol.

Well Kitase is teasing a XII HD port if X and X-2 sell well enough. You can bet it'll be on Vita too so - everyone buy 10 copies of X HD on Vita.
ThatStupidLion

i just want the next big exclusive game teased at so we know tehres life after killzone and tearaway.
in short, it's rubbish, very poor controls it still a wiimote game but with controller, bad camera (like really bad and you'll fight it most of the time) platformer parts are poorly designed, filled with uninspired levels and is very repetitive as you'll feel tired of it after one hour of doing the same gimmick over and over again.
Read the OT to see read more gaffer impressions.
I just want FF6 remake running on luminous engine, which game should I buy for that to happen?

Damn, I wish KH 1.5 was getting a PS3+Vita release like FFX/X-2. I'd actually buy it on Vita.

I seem to recall Yoshida denying that when asked on twitter a few months ago. Also Demonnite (who works for Sony) implied something similar in the Bend's doing Uncharted PS4 speculation thread. Without any concrete proof to back it up, all this OMG BEND IS DOING A PS4 GAME worrying is silly.
Bend has said they liked being a smaller, handheld-focused studio. RaD repeatedly said the opposite, and were even saying they were "done" with the PSP after their first GoW game. I think there was some rumor that Sony wanted them to do a Vita GoW game, but they clearly wouldn't have it, and trying to force them would likely mean them going looking for another publisher.
Uh... Uhh...... I mean, we get 400 days this summer?
Seriously though, Lone Survivor is an amazing game that a lot of people missed when it was originally released.
Hi Adahn ..... I live in Bangkok .... So I can suggest you the best shops to go to but the $ is so weak at the moment compared to the baht .... I buy things on PSN cos the price of things imported from the USA are just too much ..... Japanese games cost more than US games here in Thailand, Jap games are about 1,600b = 55$ .... and US games are about 1,300b = 44$ ..... I don't know if that's cheaper or more expensive than the US for Jap games !??!
Here are the 2 most reputable game shops in Thailand ...... nadzproject.com & super-rich.com
They are both right in the middle of downtown Bangkok, in Siam Square .... if you need more info just ask

Well you know how Square is with sales forecasts .... the only way we'll get it is if they sell a bajillion copies.
I really hope so. Give us a new game on Vita, Bend ;(
IF X and X-2 were packaged together at a reasonable price I would gladly buy a copy.
30-40$ each? BWHAHAHAHA no chance in hell.
Bend might want stuff in their own way but SCEA is in tough situation seeing how Microsoft getting exclusives for Da One left and right so they might want to use all their studios even the smallest ones on PS4.
but yeah let just wait and see. PS4 or Vita, I honestly don't care I just want a new Syphon Filter from Bend.
isn't Sony to blame here and not SE? they need to make bigger Vita game cards for publishers to use.
Wait wait... are you serious??? 12 HD on Vita??? Shit, id buy X/X2 HD on Vita and PS3 if its true!!!

Looks like target has a Wifi Vita + lego batman for $199. Not sure if this has been posted or not yet, just showed up on slickdeals.

I wouldn't get too happy. It's Square, they could just mean PS3/4 remasters even if the Vita versions do well.
Although everyone should buy FFX.
Wait....FFX and X-2 are each going to be $40 on Vita while sold separately?

X-2 is terrible anyway. I think X in HD would be worth 30-40$.

I had FIFA Football for Vita and I sold it, because I could not stand the cheating AI.
I don't want to play any FIFA again.
By the way I am becoming little by little in a fan of FuturLabs, I have played Beats Sliders and Surge, and I enjoyed both games, now I am playing Coconut Dodge Revitalised, it's a simple and fun game. I still have pending Velocity Ultra, but my 16GB card is full.

Is this confirmed? What a load of BS if that's true, why would I pay twice the price of what I would get on PS3?
Never played either but seriously, half the value for full fucking price? Screw Square and their price gouging.
