LOL. Kind of agree, but after seeing that The Last Guardian thread from yesterday grow to almost 100 pages in less than a couple of hours or so is giving me some hope.

What kind of virtual swag?
They're handing out beta codes to PS Now to the first 6,000 people that launch the app on June 10th, 11th, & 12th.

How do I get an invite to the PlayStation Now beta on PS4?

The first 6,000 people per-day that sign into the app from June 10-12 and click on the PlayStation Now Beta Access button will gain entry into the PS4 Private Beta. Supplies are limited so log in early!

Guys one question. If I buy a PS plus code on bestbuy.com, do they email me the code or do I have to wait until it ships?
It depends on the listing. If it says something like DLC or Digital Download then they'll send you a code anywhere from a few minutes to hours after purchasing it. If it says something like Free Shipping then it's most likely the physical card so you'll have to wait to receive it.

I haven't looked into the deal they're offering right now so I'm not sure if only the physical cards are on sale.

Oh, is that all? Got mine a while ago.
There's also an Amazon Prime trial (be careful with that, I got charged for a full sub), a 30 day Music Unlimited trial (its probably only for people who have never used a trial/subbed), and 250 ($2.50) Sony Reward points for completing some objectives (watch 30 min of the conference, browse a preorder page, etc...). AFAICT, the only thing locked behind launching the app early is the PS Now beta codes.

Based on what time zone?
PDT.

For the early birds out there, during the show we’ll have 6,000 invites per day for the PlayStation Now Private Beta on PS4, starting June 10th at 12pm PDT. Make sure to log in early to secure your invite!

I already have Amazon Prime and don't care about Music Unlimited. I'll download it for the reward points, I guess.
 
I can't beat Persona 4: Golden. I can't beat games.

I think I'm gonna try out Spelunky even though I have it on PC.

There is absolutely NO reason to not own it in both places.

And as of the last patch, they brought the pro HUD to vita, so everything is up to snuff with PC now, I think.

First perfect on an extreme song in Miku. I used combo safeguard but IMO it still counts. But I cannot see myself doing this to every song, it will break my fucking soul man. Maybe a couple of the good ones.

Wait a minute. You can use help items to assist getting a Perfect? Mind blown. I don't know if I want to do that myself though, seems kind of cheap. I've gotten Perfect on all but 4 songs now without doing that, no reason to stop that trend now.

I haven't posted here in a few days. So:

Something something E3, something something GAF servers, something something play Drakengard 3.

Does the E3 app work with Vita remote play? That might be the only way for me to get that Sony Rewards credit tomorrow.
 
Anybody know how long it takes for the original Vita to completely lose it's charge? I mean, after it goes to sleep or whatever it does when the battery runs out.

I don't have the proper charger for it at the moment, just the USB cord but that will only work if the Vita's turned completely off.
 
Uploading all of my Vita screenshots to my minus gallery: http://pepsimanvsjoe.minus.com/

Warning, spoilers and potentially NSFW content (this is the Vita after all).

Currently it's mostly Tearaway, some Soul Sacrifice, and a couple other titles.

EDIT: gallery also links to my PC screens, which include more spoilers and stuff.
 
You can charge from a USB port, just have to enable it on Vita settings first.

It is enabled (charged it last night this way), but that's not the issue. I have it plugged into a USB port on my laptop, but there's no light indicating it's charging.

And I don't know if this is standard or not, but once my vita auto shuts off, it won't turn on again until it's been charged for a bit. Peculiar design really.

If you plug your Vita 1000 into a standard USB port for charging and play it, it draws enough juice to replace what you use - but not charge the Vita's battery up. You can charge, or you can play - but not at the same time unless you're using one of the specialized "high output" USB ports or a USB wall charger/car charger.

As for how long it shuts off after it forces itself off, it actually seems to depend on how much energy you're drawing when it dies and what you're charging it with - I've seen it come "back to life" as quick as 5 minutes from a force-off, or as long as 30.
 
So Vita GAF, any expectations for the conference tonight?

I expect GR2 and FW trailers, Minecraft bundle, and maybe that Infamous game Mortimer talked about.

FF type0 would be a megaton
 
Alright. Kind of think that it is super shady that they don't state this upfront on their store page.

It's shady yeah but I'm honestly more bothered by the fact that this is what they decide to release.

There are a ton of great JP-only PS1 games that require little to no Japanese in order to enjoy.
-Harmful Park
-Adventures of Little Ralph
-Vanguard Bandits
etc

But instead we get um...uh..dating sims? Visual novels? Mahjong? Sure there's stuff like Sonic Wings Special and Wolf Fang which are good choices. Mostly though it's just...really? There's no audience for any of this massively JPN stuff. If it's that cheap to release damn near anything, why is it a drip-feed when the major publishers are involved(S-E, Namco/Bandai, Konami, etc)?

It's all totally questionable.

Finally had a chance to devote some time to Dissidia 012... and I'm kind of hooked. It's super grindy and the learning curve is really steep when you first pick it up, but I'm starting to get the hang of it more. Really enjoying using Vaan and Laguna primarily so far.

I'm only expecting to see Ratchet & Clank Trilogy for the Vita. Anything else would be great too.

When I first played Dissidia 012 I spent hours attempting battles with nigh impossible odds just for the slim chance at better drops. It helps that the battle system is extremely polished.

Only indie games and a token "AAA" game for tomorrow morning's show (9:00 am GMT+8 here).
That Type-0 won't be shown, as it will be a PS now and PS4 show.
I'm actually expecting more games from the green team for the unkinected one.

I would gladly eat crow if I'm mistaken though.
 
-Vanguard Bandits

Pretty sure that one is on the US psn, in English. Do you mean a different title?

Oh and about your drip-feed versus floodgate argument. A lot of companies think that if they release an entire back catalogue all at once some of the smaller titles will get lost in the mix. And since most of the sales of a product occur in the first week or so of release this is a very big deal to be "lost". This happens all the time in DVD, music, and book rereleased titles. These media companies will space out the releases or find some way to have all the titles purchased at once (like a box set).

There is also the issue with licensing, voice acting can be very expensive to relicense (one of the main reasons why we have not gotten brave fencer musashi while Japan has).

Just food for thought, it does suck that many good titles are not available world wide

Final Fantasy Type-0 is no longer a megaton. Sony and Square Enix had three years, and fans bet them to the punch.

As for my expectations, they don't exist. I expect Vita to only be mentioned in a PS Now/PS+/Remasters section.

Hoping for GR2, Type-0, Dissidia 2, KHBBS2, Persona5 multi, FF Crisis Core 2, Monster Hunter 5, FF Tactics, Phantasy Star Nova, brand new exclusive GOW, Ratchet, Jak&Daxter, and Grand Turismo.

Dammit none of them are going to happen (except maybe GR2). I purchased a Vita because I thought it would be like PSP. There's nothing but indies, old games, and super niche Japanese games. The device looks and feels so damn good too :(
