Are the PSN versions of Final Fantasy 6, 7, 8 and 9 good and do they play well on Vita? I have 7 and 8 on Steam but I remember hearing about them using an inferior version of the soundtrack (might have changed).

I didn't even realise there was a sale on, glad I didn't miss out on the Bloodborne DLC discount after tomorrow.

? On PC the ost is different, PSX version has the original one.

The PAC-MAN game on sale ($1.24) is listed for PSP and PS3. Does anyone know if it can be transferred to the Vita?

So, uh... looks like we got "extra" PS+ games. We were supposed to only get Nova-111 for Vita, but the PS3 and PS4 versions are also included.

Do you like turn-based JRPGs? Do you like catching monsters and making them more powerful as part of your team? It looks like a high quality product but I don't think the style of game appeals to everyone.

It's coming to both Europe and America as a digital-only title. An English retail version exists in Asia.

Sounds like it could be up my alley. Thanks - I'll look into it some more.

Is dragon ball z battle of z on vita any good? I'm a fan of DBZ, but I've never been that into the fighting games. It's so cheap though <_<

If that is the Mini's version of Championship Edition.....then no sadly :(. I tried this when I first got my Vita and it didn't work :'(.

It worked during the great glitch of 2014 but not otherwise.

So while I was changing some settings I randomly decided to try activating PSM again on my month-old Vita. Guess what, it worked! I was able to transfer one of my games back from my PC and run it! So if anyone else got stuck without PSM, I would recommend trying to activate it again.

I played the campaign by myself(No online help), and I had to grind a lot. Once you reach the Cell saga there's a difficulty spike and I had to do some old missions over and over again to level up/get more cards. The battle system is ok, it's no where near as good as the Budokai series or even the BT series. But it's not horrible.

For $5 I'd say go for it, unless you have a PS3 and then I'd recommend that version instead.

Too bad the custom soundtrack feature didn't make it into the console versions =/ How well did it work on PC?

7, 8 and 9 should be fine. I can't recommend 6 since the PS1 port has horrible load times.
I think there are some unofficial patches for the soundtracks on the PC version.

Thanks for the input, I do have a PS3, but I don't game on it as much as my Vita.

Ended up getting Digimon on the Vita, but was only able to put in around 2hrs into it. Game looks great. Idk when I'll be able to play again though...

Cyber Sleuth feels like the most SMT game from a non-atlus publisher/studio.

The fact that it uses Devil Survivor's character illustrator isn't helping me drawing connections other than SMT.

Guys... I gotta choose.

Digimon

or

DT2 + Lost Song?

Also: existing owners of Helldivers don't get all the expansions like PS+ people who haven't gotten the game before now do. That's really dumb, punishing early adopters.

Is there a way to avoid the vita battery drain? Mine was fine until two days ago. I turned airplane mode on after it happened the first time but just picked up my vita and it's flat again :(

That's a little difficult. Not a big fan of SAO, but from what I read it's not as meaty as HR was.

DT2 is amazing (fanservice aside). One of the best DRPGs on the Vita and one of the more lengthier games in general. The post game is huge - bigger than the main game and the dungeons get insane. Can be difficult at times.

Digimon - people seem to love it, both as a Digimon game and as an rpg. It also has a good story with decent twists. However, the Vita version needs a patch since some of the features that are in the ps4 version are missing.

My Vita seems to drain it's battery really fast in standby after the last update.

Has anyone isolated whether its down to wifi, the Vita not entering sleep properly, if there's any suggestions, something like that? I used to be able to leave it for a week, but now it dies while in sleep mode in my bag at work for a few hours. Sure, I can turn it off when I'm done, but I like the instant resume.

Keeping the Vita on airplane mode is making the battery last like it should for me. Until a patch comes out I'm just getting online when I really need it.

Hm.. I seem to be one of the few ones who haven't encountered any issues with the 3.57 firmware. Was able access the store normally and standby still works as usual. I have a Japanese Vita-1000 if that matters.

Digimon looks amazing now I've done a little research.

Quick question: is the day-1 DLC of the type where you can grab it when you don't have the game yet or is it just bundled with the game? I've blown my February budget already, but I don't want to miss out.

It says bundle on the store so I assume the DLC is bundled with the game.

Get it now :D! It is a great JRPG even if you don't like the IP. Its mechanics are deep, you have a massive amount of content to dive into and the amount of combat options makes every encounter enjoyable.

The Vita version has Engerish Translation while the PS4 has much better translation but outside of a few perks (a new story segment for the PS4 version, online play) the Vita version is still a great version to get. I would recommend both, as you can transfer your Vita save to the PS4.

Well, you sold me and I wasn't even the one asking. Picked up the PS4 version, and it's downloading now.

FFX is great, it's the best turn based rpg on Vita and the best FF. You can ignore X-2 though.

Turns out I really hate Tidus, and since he is a big part of the game. Well... It's one of the worst FF because of having to see that spoiled brat throughout the game.

Hi guys. Quick question. I can pop into the Nintendo Downloads thread at about 9am every Monday morning to find out what the week's eShop releases are gonna be here in the UK. Is there an equivalent time the info is released here? Cos I never fucking know what's coming out on PSN.

They have a blog post called "The Drop" on the weekend and then another post with all the details when the store is officially updated on Tuesday.

New sale according to blog that says nothing at all regarding percent.
Seems like Mass Effect 2 DLC is on sale, which it's not on the US sale. ME3 DLC only there and no ME2 DLC

How was he a spoiled brat? I mean if he was a spoiled brat, he wouldn't let other people have the spot light or put the group's objective first.

Thoughts on Battle of Z? I'm considering picking up both Xenoverse and Battle of Z since I haven't played a dragon ball game since the PS2 era. Worth getting the Vita version, or does Xenoverse check all the boxes I probably want and then some?

It's the wifi. It is preventing the system going to sleep. If you have a vita 2000 you'll see your power light is always solid green even when the screen is off. Turning off wifi solved this problem for me. But there goes my automatic save uploads

Somebody knows if the save for Mass Effect is transferable through different regions between games?
So if I play Mass Effect that I bought on my US PSN account and then continue with ME 2 that I have on my EU PSN account and then again play ME 3 that I bought on my US account?

All will be played with my EU profile.

Saves are region specific, so it wouldn't work.
