I kept my PS3 in a cabinet and only had to replace it three times.
My PS4 and 360 are in a cabinet but it's well ventilated. I keep the cabinet door open so the air circulates better.

I've been thinking this thread should be community for months so I'm fine with it. I think those who come to this thread for questions will be at a bit of a loss, though.

Oddly the Steam thread seems to be in Gaming (for now) but Live and PSN threads are community
Nintendo Downloads is also Gaming and I'm very confused

Those threads don't seem to get as active as this one, while still being very conversational. I think this is a better fit for community than those, but they should probably be moved, too. Honestly I spend almost all my time in community threads (dota, pokemans, etc.) so I've got no issue.

This is VitaGAF.
The Steam threads are some of the most active threads on GAF.
Since we're in comm, can we go back to fancy thread titles next month?
You didn't subscribe to your own thread?

I think we should do that
I'm too lazy to come up with thread titles. You guys are going to suggest some for me.
I never felt the need to use subscriptions.

tbh I don't visit the steam thread so I was mostly reffering to the nintendo one, my bad. I'll take your word for it

Did you delete me or were we never friends?
VitaGAF secretly controls the PSN thread. Hehe...
It's flash memory, it'll always die eventually as it has a limited number of writes/erases. If it goes bad sooner rather than later it could be due to any number of things including manufacturing defects, file system corruption, bad failed block masking mechanism etc. Really nothing we can do about it since it's Sony's proprietary format and we just have to take it. If the Vita had accepted SD/MicroSD then you could at least buy a higher quality brand to avoid a few of the aforementioned problems. They'd also be available for a long long time whereas Vita memory cards will eventually stop being produced.Oh man, I'm sorry. Can't believe memory cards can die like that (as they are always in the system, so....how can they die; do they short out or something?).....
IMO it's all leftover consequence of PSP piracy. If that never happened Sony wouldn't have needed to R&D a new proprietary format (and charge so much for it) to try and lock the Vita down so hard.
Don't think we were ever friends
Thought they didn't want us becoming an insular community. It'll only get insular-er from here.
Secretly?

I would do this if I hadn't already completely abandoned the thought of every knowing who anyone on any of my gaming platform friendslists are
Keep a VitaGAF tab open at all times. You must never leave. >:3I don't visit Community

bad gameplay lol
It blows my mind that there are people who don't use the subscribe feature. Seriously, being in Community changes nothing if you just subscribe to the thread.
it's not about regulars not being able to find it (I use the subscribe feature)
it's about how new people may not be able to find this

More than half the time I come to the thread is because I see it on the front page.
Seeing as we're talking about purging friends lists, I'll say what I always say: hopefully Sony gives us the option to put friends in group or to give players nicknames. Until then, I'll continue to keep my GAF name in my profile, but that's hardly a solution.

On the topic of thread subscriptions:
Yeah, I have a subscription to each month's thread. But I usually visit when I see it on the front page of the gaming section. I rarely check my subscriptions unless it's for the Trophy/Achievement thread. This one's usually popular enough that I can find it on the first three pages.

Just subscribe. It's all the rage.
I was amazed when my account got approved and I could subscribe. All the possibilities.
See? That's how you do it!
And I'm expecting a mod to show up soon and share some words about the forum change.
Any minute now.

Does reddit not spawn white knights everywhere if you try a topic of games like Criminal Girls?
If so, I might finally try joining reddit.

The issue I have with reddit is that people are way more interested in saying something others like than what they think, or what is true.
Also this is so fatalist lol...
Of course. Gotta keep that karma.

I don't mean to call y'all out for bad memories, but... y'all got terrible memories, at least based on 5 minutes of research.
Strider -- released Feb, on PS+ in July. That's 4 months+. Also note there isn't a ton of ps4 games, so quicker turnaround is understandable.
Sports Friends -- May 6th, ps+ Sept 2. That's almost exactly 4 months.
Hohokum -- never been on plus at all.
Stealth Inc. released in July 2013. It was on ps+ April 8th, 2014. That's a huge time gap. Definitely far more than 2 months, not less.
From what I can tell, Jet Set Radio HD released for PS3 in Sept, 2012, not Nov.
It wasn't on PS+ till July 2013. That's a long time.
Jet Set Radio Vita was released Nov 20th, and put on ps+ on Nov 20th, so was a Day 1.
MORAL OF THE STORY -- sometimes it feels like you just bought the game, but really, you didn't. The smallest gap of any example so far was 4 months, which seems a fair amount of time to me, and that was during the ps4 launch window while there weren't many games that could be on ps+ in the first place.
Sources --
PS+ release date: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Instant_Game_Collection_games_(North_America)
Actual release date -- googling, usually then going to blog + wiki pages for verification.
Never believe a random customer service rep about something like that. It makes no sense, Netflix wants to be on everything. Other reps have already said the opposite.
No, i don't. I guess I have to? But i navigate gaf based on the main forum screen. This change sucks for me.

Yep. I also hate how reddit looks, just seems like a mess. If I were to leave the psn thread I'd start posting on the vita lounge instead.
I don't get this. What did I miss?

Read the rest of the post
I think there's a valid argument to be made about Criminal Girls depiction of women and sexual violence. The general GAF reaction may have been hyperbolic, but having issues with the game doesn't make one a "whiteknight."
I have problems with the game, but I bought two copies of Shinovi Versus on day one. Am I whiteknight?

I asked for examples. Several people gave them. So far, all are incorrect and actually came out at least 4 months after release, some almost a year. One example wasn't even on ps+ at all.
what the heck?! I'm telling you, all that wasn't there before lol
Post it in both, because you can't have enough Miku.

Sweet. Thanks for letting me know. I try to do a sweep on my game bubbles once in awhile to check for patches, but probably wouldn't have known for awhile.

I'd like to say I enjoy reading your posts. Always articulate and accurate. :B
Surge Deluxe was added to PS+ what, 2 or 3 months after launch, no?
Can't really remember any others. Might be the only one if so.

Let's see.
Release date Feb 4th.

On ps+ May 20th.
So... almost 4 months, the shortest found so far. Still a reasonable amount of time imo. If it's not going to be Day 1, and we still want 'new' games, somewhere in the 3-5 month period seems quite fair to me. So far, it seems Sony aims for 'close to' 4 months as the soonest they'll put something on ps+, and even that is fairly rare.
Obviously, something like FSP and it's being on ps3 ps+ soon after coming out for vita is also a possibility, but that sure seems like a outlier to me.
I don't use 90% of the features the forum offers. I find them a hassle. Sorry man.
EDIT: I'll try to use this. I just don't see myself looking at my subscriptions at all, which is not that different from clicking on a tab.

I do subscribe, but I find threads via the front page. I didn't find this month's Nintendo Downloads thread until this whole kerfluffle reminded me it even existed. But I follow it much less closely than the PSN one
