Been camping. Missed some great stuff I see. Definitely add me to the list of suckers that fell for that Type-0 "announcement". Well played. Also, nice call on the $10 Catherine. That is a steal. I really want the physical version, for some reason, but I am extremely tempted to pick it up.

Awesome news, thanks! I am conflicted by this though....on one hand...I am happy...but on another...in my new world I started I already have way cooler stuff pre hard mode...I guess I could always spend the lengthy amount of time transferring my mats and monies...

I'm in the same spot, my new stuff is turning out pretty nice. Meh, at least I got my piggy back =P

Two new 3D sidescrollers are coming to Vita:

http://www.psnstores.com/2014/05/flyhunter-origins-coming-to-vita-this-summer/

Red Goddess seems interesting, btw I want proper 3D platformers...I really really hope Oliver&Spike and The Last Tinker are coming.

Also, Gravity Crash Ultra has been submitted to Sony.

New Vita games...platformers...I should be excited, but both of those trailers left me cold.

Edit: Errrr, top of page...buy Demon Gaze people!
 
This device sounds too good to be true (ie. a everything to everything adapter). Is there any significant input lag?
There exists anecdotal evidence of it dropping inputs for the other player and/or making USB ports melt (which is why it's banned at some tournaments).

I don't think it's been subject to a really rigorous test yet. MarkMan said he'd do it, but I can't find his results if he ever got around to it.

That's an Amazon exclusive now. Was shown in the Fire TV first party trailer.
 
I wonder who thought Treasures of Montezuma Arena needed a story and cutscenes. They're both hilarious
ly bad
.

Game itself isn't so bad from the short amount I've played. Could've used some faster animations though. But maybe I'm just used to the lightning pace of Blitz.
 
I tried googling this but didn't get any helpful replies.

Does anyone know what an item called "SPA)" is? It popped up in my download list after purchasing borderlands 2 for vita
 
could someone explain how you use the web download queue? I added a bunch of stuff to it and when I turned on my PS3 I got a notification that content is ready to download...

...but nothing's happening

Not sure how it works on the PS3's end, but with the Vita and PS4, I just have click "download to PS4/Vita" and I'm done. Of course those systems have to be on standby mode otherwise nothing is going to work. Was your PS3 off completely?

Web download doesn't work that well for PS3 and vita, only really works well with PS4 from what I've heard. My experience is that my PS3 only "checks" for downloads and starts them during the automatic update window once a day at like 4 AM. Other than that, I've still had to turn on the PS3 and manually start the download from the download list. Only time it has come in handy was when I was at my parents house and wanted to download a game to my PS3 and wouldn't be home for a few days.

Haven't used my PS3 in a while, but I think you just select OK (or Yes, don't know exactly what the options were) and then you had to wait for a while before you could use your PS3. And then it would be downloading. But I do remember it's been iffy for me. It doesn't even always give that pop-up.
 
hmmmm okay well I had the automatic downloads set to off in the system settings so I guess it's linked to that... I told it to update overnight so hopefully it'll work.

I'm doing this because my old PS3 YLOD'd a while ago and I'm just getting around to re-downloading all my stuff on the new console. someone suggested the web download queue as a better alternative to the stupid download list in the PSN store.

Thanks for the advice, fellas
 
Does anyone use Sony Rewards to get PSN credit? It's US only (I think) and free to sign up. They have $5 PSN cards (500 points) in stock right now so you can basically get one half off by paying the difference at checkout after doing the following:

250 points for this 22 Jump Street promotion.

Click the link
click the "skip to make alias" button at the bottom
fill in a name
click "share to earn rewards"
sign in
share (you don't have to go through with sharing, just click one of the sharing icons like facebook)

Ahh, thanks for this. Not only did I get 250 points from it, but you reminded me that it existed and now I have 1000 points to claim!

Cheers for this, I was just able to get two $5 codes. Forgot I had signed up for Sony Rewards lol
 
Did the free Sly Collection "glitch" actually work. Or did it just download the trials for Sly instead of the actual game?

Sweet. 20 points short of a $5 code though
 
The game isn't Cross-Buy in North America, so ...

What's your point? Someone a few pages ago said that if you downloaded all the trials and then the collection then you would have the collection. But nobody has actually posted any evidence that they got it. For all we know it could just download the 1 hour trial instead
 
just tried the 22 jump street promo and while asking to log in to my sony rewards account, it says my account is locked. Any ideas?
Happened to me because I mispelled my secret answer. :(
Called their support and got a ticket to unlock my account, have to wait 72 hours though. Hopefully the $5 reward is still there.

That's a lot. Mine's locked for 30 mins. Probably because I forgot my password and started typing different ones quickly.

Thanks for this, ended up having enough for $10 worth of credit.

Looks like I'm getting MonMon for cheap. :D
 
Got the Sly Collection a hour or so ago (first retail Vita game in a while...); can't wait to play these classics again :D!

Played a good bit of Sly 1 and now starting Sly 2; very impressed with the quality of these ports :D. Native Resolution, smooth frame rate and tight controls are really great to have in this collection :).

Great job Sanzaru :).

Oh, I thought you were trying to get the Vita Collection for free through the same bug that gave away copies of GoW.
 
I keep getting the "We cannot complete the transaction" message on the last page. I have enough points (1125) for a 10$ yet it won't push through.

Thanks for the rage, Sony Rewards.

....If you are going to really try to get those points redeemed...your in for alot of frustration X(.

For a good two months I had 1000 SR Points put toward a PSN card but it would not work (saying the same message you say you got), so I had to contact a worker (which are very nice) and get them to take a look at your account. Then you have to wait for two weeks for them to call back to help you...and they make you wait EVEN longer....

Then months latter, THEN you can redeem your points....it really isn't worth the aggravation man :(....though it is 10 dollars for free :l.

I just did this. I already "own" Sly 1 from PS+ a few years ago.

I claimed the trials of Sly 2 and 3, then claimed the Sly Collection PS3 version.

The trial of Sly 2 was still a trial after claiming the collection and downloading it. :/ PS Store shows it as not purchased after the trial period ended.

I'm still downloading Sly 3, but I'm betting it will stay a trial as well.

I hate to be "that guy" but why not just buy the game if you are interested in playing it instead of trying to find a glitch so you can steal it?

Yeah, I'm in the process of downloading all of my digital stuff (just upgraded to a TB HD) so I'll let you know what happens when it goes through. It's taking forever to download everything though.

Thanks for the heads-up! I was just going to use that on the Muramasa DLCs but I don't want to wait that much. I'll just wait for a few days since my payday is coming and I'll that and Monster Monpiece.
