I need your opinion VitaGAF.
I want to play Killzone Mercenary, and I have two paths before me:
1. Purchasing retail R1 copy for 47 bucks, give or take, or
2. Buying it digitally for 35 bucks, but with the caveat that if I want to do this I need to purchase a 50 bucks worth of PSN card with the price of 57 bucks, give or take.
If you were me, VitaGAF, which option would you take?

It depends. Do you tend to resell your games when you are done? If so, I think the R1 copy may be better cuz you can sell it and recoup most of your money when you are done.

Honestly how big is your memstick?
As of right now, KZ's footprint sits like around 4gb, so factor in that. Also, do you care about retail versions or resell potential?

I say retail definitely. It's cheaper and doesn't take up nearly 5 gb's of data like the digital version.
Also since you are willing to go out and pick up a psn card you might as well just save some money and get a physical copy.
Shit, this is sad:
Tales of Bibliotheca: iOS game
Tales of Phantasia: iOS
Final Fantasy Agito: iOS
Fuck you Square.
I don't care about Tales of Phantasia. It's been in like every other platform ever. That Tales of Bibliotheca seems like a try to open the franchises to new audiences (although I would love playing it in proper devices). However, seeing this is sad. That Zestiria thing needs to be revealed soon T.T

I never sell my games once I finished with them (or once I buy them is probably more accurate, since I have bought so many that I have yet finished.) Hmmm.
Oh, I have 32 GB (with around 5 or 6 GB left) and 8 GB.

The digital is *cheaper*, it's just 36 (not 35, sorry) compared to retail's 47, but yeah, I need to purchase 50 dollar US PSN card if I go this route for 57 bucks.
The added bonus if I go digital with this is I have an extra 14 bucks to spend... although hmmm, yes, I do spend more money this way. Although for strictly speaking for KZ: M then I am saving 11 bucks worth of money.
Aaaaargh undecided, hahaha.

Wait, is it normal for OLED screens to degrade a little like those pictures show with a lot of use?

How do I check the region of my PSN accounts? I forgot which account is which region. Logging on to specific PSN sites doesn't work because I logged on to both US and UK using the same account.
edit: Found it, but is there any way to change your PSN account's region?

Hmm Siliconera writes that Madoka game might be for Vita and not PS3.
Pity that it won't reach west anyway

There's a scan that says Vita, and another that says PS3 but not both, lol.
It's made by Artdink, who's doing Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, and Gundam Breaker. Both of which are on PS3 and Vita.

No... and i don't think they will ever allow it.
The best they can do is allow us to use at least two accounts on VITA.
Edit: Don't know if posted or not, but i found this comparison pic between OG Vita and Slim VITA. There is also a 3DS XL comparison.

Thanks. I just created another account using my same email thanks to a Gmail trick.
What difficulty should I play P4G? P4 was my first Persona. First dungeon was hard as balls, 8-bit dungeon boss was unbeatable until I got Black Frost. P3P was generally easy except for one early boss which required a lot of grinding.
I was thinking of Hard since I heard P4 was easier but I'm not sure. I don't want to have to do excessive grinding again.

Not sure if i noticed any degradation on mine but i never compared it to a fresh new VITA screen.
The new screen actually looks better to me. OLED's real advantage is in motion though, but it doesn't look like I'll be too upset if my Vita breaks or something.
KickBeat is also up on the Vita store itself (will not appear if searched through the webstore).
With people saying how Vita TV might force developers to make games differently (less touchscreen stuff, etc) I wonder if it will also mean that we get more native resolution games in the future, since any image quality shortcomings are going to be all the more obvious on a large display.
If it wasn't a high priority before, maybe it will be now. Complex but well-performing 3D games such as KZ:M, Wipeout 2048 (dynamic resolution) and Dynasty Warriors show that it's achievable.

This all part of Sony's Master plan. They can't sell Vita's to new customers, so they release a worse model to scare existing customers into buying a second OG Vita. GENIUS!!
I am just kidding of course

That's strange. I noticed that my launch Vita screen was slightly duller(about 5%) than my friends new one, but in these pictures the top Vita seems slightly brighter.
Edit:
Oh HEEEELLLLL NO!! I don't want to have to get that when/if my OG vita dies. That's bad. That's yellow bad! I was hoping the difference wouldn't be that big. I really hope my OG never dies. I love it too much.
I never cared about screens and stuff, but this comparison make me cannot unsee, blergh.

Soul Sacrifice Delta trailer was glorious!
Do we have any detail on this title. I mean is there anything new or it is just a re-release with all the DLC?
Also i heard that Soul Sacrifice 2 was confirmed for 2015, True?

It's a re-release with new content, but you can import your original save file into Delta.

Do you have a link to the news regarding confirmation of Soul Sacrifice 2? I can't find one except for Delta unless Delta is Soul Sacrifice 2.
As for your other statement, we might get a new announcement or two but overall don't expect anything big from TGS for VITA.
Ah, i see. Thanks.
good, this reminded me to rate it
Keiji Inafune mentioned Delta and a true sequel at the press conference. You can actually watch the whole conference translated in English here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpTfsnAV-jU
Soul Sacrifice part starts at around 14:17.
Comparing Vita OLED screens is bound to show differences, regardless of the usage of the screen. OLED screens tend to have some variation- more than other types of screens. Some are a little brighter, some are a little more vibrant, some have a slight tint, and some have more mura than others. That's one of the negatives of OLEDs- they look nice, but it's hard to keep them consistent (the more consistency they want, the more money they lose on discarded screens).

Rayman Legends release is such a mess - I just got email that my preorder is ready for pickup in the shop.
I honestly CANNOT WAIT for PS4 to be launch so Sony can finally stop talking about it...
Hell, who am I kidding... This system is going to be talked about for the next 2 years minimum....
You won't forget. You'll be wishing that you could play every non-Ninteneo game on the Vita, and that Nintendo went with a higher resolution screen/better hardware in general.
Well, it is $10 cheaper or so in Japan. They could drop the price to $179 when they introduce the new Vita in NA.
But is it really? Amazon.co.jp is charging less than 100 yen difference; 19,000 yen for either a PCH-2000 preorder or an original 3G black.

That's on Sony. They explicitly called the new model "more affordable". How are people supposed to take that?

Maybe they meant "more affordable" for them, lol

WHY!?!?
Was having a god-tier run in spelunky last night. 700k + on 4-2. Used the scepter to kill the shopkeeper and THEN opened the door to the Golden City. They were kind enough to give me the mattock so I ghosting gems like a beast. For some reason, I decided to go through a section of the way to get a diamond as opposed to flying 3 squares up and around. I saw the two falling blocks stacked, not sure what caused me to destroy the square and walk right into me getting smashed. 10 hearts instantly squandered :-(
That run, if completed, would have given me at least #2 on the leaderboards.
I did devise a way to get a ridiculous amount of money. If you kill Yama (hell boss) you get to bomb his which is made of rubies. I'm guessing at least 24, if not more. If you could piss off kali enough to have a ghost permanently follow you, then beat yama, you could ghost all those gems! Sounds amazing.

It will be a section in the guide that I'll post later (when I get more time at work), but basically, it's waiting for the 2:30 mark when death shows up. you then kite him along to touch all the whole blue, red, and green gems, turning them into diamonds worth 5k each.
absolutely imperative for having a top score

I recommend normal... I switched to very easy for my NG+ run to cleanup trophies.
That's because we talk about it in the KZ: M OT like we should
Or we're too busy playing it.
The new model is definitely yellowed.
This doesn't tell me if I can just buy the DLC or if I have to fork out $40 for a brand new game.
If it's a brand new game? I'm think I'm out. After 160 hours in the original, I just do not have the desire to do it again.
I need to figure out how to do this properly (awaiting your guide, sir!) so that I can knock out that 500,000 trophy and then not worry about score for a long time.
