This is the first time the Blogpost wasnt up the Week before Plus Release right? Wonder if they have some kind of surprise because of all the Driveclub BS or anything new coming up.

Taipei and Hualien, but that was 4 years ago. I loved the taroko gorge and night markets.

You need to buy PSN cards because your credit card will not work outside the european stores. With an USA or Canada account you get a good discount, but no as big nowadays as it use to be. For example 15 Us dollars game are now converted to 13€ tax included. There is still a little saving if you create an account in a state where there are no taxes. USgaf might help you better, but I created my old US account in California.

Yeah I know that thanks still but what I want to know is if there is another country which is even more of a deal than the us and where if I buy a game it'll be in english

There are quite capable and cheap 8" Windows 8.1 tablets out now and with newer and better chips, I don't see a technical problem for a 5" x86 handheld. I don't expect awesome power but it will be good enough and probably will be better than what we will be getting in the dedicated handheld space.

The $190 8" Winbook TW801 plays Crysis and CoD: MW3.

Then there is stuff like the AMD Envelope concept and I don't even know what Intel has up their sleeves. Just downclock these new APUs if they are still too power hungry but I guess they shouldn't be if they are aimed for tablets/mobile markets.
And if there is still a problem, go the Nvidia Shield way and make the thing a little bit bulkier.

I guess the financial side is way more troublesome for such a project. There were some community handhelds though and Chinese manufacturers really picked up the slack with Android handhelds, so I hope something like that will happen. With Steam OS, there wouldn't be so much to worry about the OS side of things. Even Windows with Steam BPM would be enough.
I don't expect this to be driven from Valve or some bigger company.

Euro -> Canadian Dollar change is even better than Euro- > US Dollar, infact i would suggest you to import retail games(that can be played on any region account) from
https://www.videogamesplus.ca/

But IIRC (ask to Takao) the Canadian PSN store is not as good as the US store.

Maybe there are more convenient countries but i don't know them.

I don't expect it to happen this week but I fully expect the Driveclub PS Plus Edition to actually be the full game now as an apology.

The Canadian store is only missing like 2 games total compared to the US: Black Rock Shooter on PSP (licensing issues apparently), and Magical Beat on Vita (because typical Arc System Works bullshit).

Some recent AAA games have gouged up prices due to weak currency but only a handful of them. Our currency has gotten so weak right now (thanks, Harper) that they're probably still cheaper than the US.

No way, that would just piss off those who bought the game
Click to expand...
Oh yeah. Well they could always give existing owners extra compensation like all possible DLC for free or something. But yeah now that I think about it they wouldn't want to further piss off people that already bought a broken game. They have to have something big as an aplogy prepared though. It's gonna be a too little too late situation when the Plus version eventually drops.

It is really strange. I wonder what is the holdup. I mean, we already know what the games are.

I think it is all due to DriveClub PS+ Edition; they either want the game to be the 'extra' game of the month or are putting another 'PS+' Edition of a Sony game. I think.....Killzone Shadow Fall would be a good candidate (considering they could give the complete online mode for 'free' then charge for the single player; being....I guess 20-30 bucks :)).

They DID do something like this for both Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3 (the former from its PS+ release and the latter via free-to-play MP demo).

If it means anything, the PS4 version does have extra content to play through and new powers to unlock :). It is an amazing game, so if you didn't pay full price for it in the past, it is a great time to get the PS4 version while it is 7 bucks :D.

Killzone mp would be neat. I really likes Killzone Mercenary which is my only KZ game. Such a shame the online in that game doesn't work properly for me anymore. I always get kicked as soon as a match starts for some reason. Says a loss of connectivity or something, but I know for a fact my connection is fine and I have no issues with other online games.

It has been quite a while since I played Killzone Mercenary....but every time I entered a MP match, it worked perfectly :l. Guess the servers got worse or something? Either way that is a shame it doesn't work for you :(; it is a lot of fun.

It worked perfectly for me for ages too. Then one day there was a patch and all of a sudden I got those issues. Tried a couple months later and still no luck. Been a while since I last tried though.

Maybe the recent PS TV update (adding support for PS TV and check-points in single player) fixed this issue you've been having :). Might try it on my Vita latter on to test this guess (though I don't know what I want to delete; to many games man XD)....

Just preordered Hearts R. Ugh, the $44.99 Canadian price. It pains me to preorder anything outside of the Amazon/BestBuy/Futureshop E3 event. Can't wait for the game though.

Just tried. Had a full game of Warzone without issue! Yay. Top player as well. I expected to suck given how long its been since I've played. This game is so good. Shame it's the last of its kind on a portable.

I doubt it, but you can create infinite number of accounts in different countries. Just create an account for english speaking countries or places like Hong Kong and see. I use to buy stuff for PS3 from all over the world, now I just stick mainly to my EU account.

I don't usually do online multi, but I really should play a few rounds now that I have PS TV. Was impressive on the Vita when playing the Beta, but I hated X to run or whatever it was.

There's a "Just for you" tab on the webstore. It shows nothing for me. I'm now sad.

Freedom Wars DLCs are up. I don't think the paid ones are worth it (two weapons/some citizens). But there's a bunch of free stuff too, go grab it!

I'll never buy another Curve game. Every single game of the is PS+ a few months after launch, same for Double Eleven, specially after they've lied before about Lone Survivor never going to PS+.

SEGA of America has officially announced that there are currently no plans to localize Phantasy Star Nova to North America and Europe. SEGA Addicts has contacted SEGA for any information regarding a western release. Kelle Parker from SEGA of America replied back saying: ‘”There are currently no plans to release Phantasy Star Nova in the western market. Should this change, we will ensure the information is shared as soon as possible.”

Not interested in Injustice since I'm terrible at fighting games, but First Light is nice.
