Sounds like it'll have a campaign. You're a mercenary who takes orders from both the Helghast and the ISA. Hard to do that in a multiplayer only setting.

Sony cut the price of retail Vita games but didn't extend that price drop to the digital versions?

You cherish the moment each time I sign on.
In NA? never
Hopefully they drop on PSN sometime soon.
No. I'm not sure what is Sony's excuse for it.
Don't let everybody know.
That's actually legitimately shocking. I'd think that if they were going to only give one version a price drop, it would be the digital side.
Yup D: *shakes fist at Sony* You think all they'd have to do is flick a switch or something.
Haha. sometimes I wonder if I should just stop being surprised by these type of things.
I'll sneak into SCEA's headquarters and flip the super secret price cut switch for you. Hurry, you only have five hours before somebody finds out!
The sequel's supposedly a lot better and it will be coming out very soon in North America for PSP's PSN.
Oops, looks like Sony only has super secret price increase switches cause now everything is twice as expensive! Maybe they can recoup their losses this way!
Yeah I know that makes no sense, and I kid of course Love my Vita.
Love my Vita.Anyways, that Sound Shapes, such an awesome game. Death Mode, while frustrating, was pretty satisfying to beat. Can't wait for the next game to star a blob-like main character to come out because they've all been great so far! And the next few months should be very interesting.
What do you think about GamesCom? Was it good for Vita?
PS : try not getting banned for TGS

I was very pleased. I felt it was one of the best press conferences I've ever seen from Sony. Outside of some of the demos (LBP Vita controller, and FIFA on the Move) the conference flowed with great pace. I was also very impressed that the company devoted equal time to both handheld and console. The new reveals were awesome (outside of Call of Duty) and gave us a good look as to what's in store. However, I left the conference once again feeling like Sony's American branch is failing the platform as Gamescom came and went without a single Vita exclusive from them.
As for TGS, it would certainly suck if I missed the threads for all three major Sony press conferences this year, haha.

If the digital prices haven't changed with the new store update, I'm going to seriously wonder what kind of drugs Sony is on and how to get them.
Yes the pace was awesome, and I hope they'll still devote equal time when they'll have to handle PS3+Vita+PS4 next year.
Maybe at Gamescom, but this E3 should tell you how much SCEA cares. They'll announce a remodel with a new price, show a sizzle reel and never talk about Vita again.

It's 3:30 in the morning and I'm transferring a few(around 150) images to my Vita, thinking it could take about 5 mins. Here I am, about 20 minutes later... this really isn't incredibly user friendly.
I think this is very early footage of Novarama's next game:
Here's why. Basically some trademarks, hints, and common elements imply that it is.

After being dissapointed in the Vita's sales announcement should I still go out and buy one or just get a PSP? I really want to get into Sony's handheld consoles but the way things look atm I might as well get a 3DS for the simple fact of guarunteed support and growth.

If you can afford one and don't have a large library of UMD games then the Vita is the best way to experience PSP titles. What PSP titles are you interested in? Only a few notable games, like Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, aren't available as digital downloads.
I suggest you make a list of games you're interested in for both system, and decide based on that.

Did they change the Vitas codecs recently or something? Videos that used to play on it no long play, it just says that file isn't supported.

$249 is a lot for a console that I've no idea is going to succeed in the future or not.
As for titles I'm not really sure as previously I was only interested in handhelds due to Nintendo's Pokemon series (which I'm burnt out on now)

I thought they would work on Invizimals (is mildly popular in Europe), but I guess it makes sense to save Invizimals when Vita is much cheaper and targeted towards kids later in it's life cycle.

If you don't want to pay full price, there's usually giftcard deals and whatnot around. Plus there's usually some good deals in the BST thread.
As for Invizimals:
If they wait too long to launch another they run the risk of being replaced.

After 2 days I can access Gaf again. In the meantime I've progressed alot through Sound Shapes. Only 6 Extreme levels to go!

No screen. Just audio. You have to use your imagination.
Imagine all the money Sony will save!

It´s extremely stupid of Sony to not lower the price on PSN. They can greatly benefit from extra sales on mem cards. Besides it would be good for gamers of course

Only for their own games, 3rd party titles are not Sony's problem.

It all depends on how much usage you will get out of the system. For me it was well worth the initial cost and I already have 17 Vita and a few PSP games. There are several games on the horizon that I want to play and I'm waiting for a few of the early titles to drop a bit more in price.
I don't think there are any Pokemon clones on the PSN store, but if you like RPGs there are plenty to choose from. With the Vita you also have access to games that are almost on par with PS3 quality, like Uncharted, Wipeout and LittleBigPlanet.

Just imagine this period last year, it was the same with 3DS, future didnt look good. Then in its 2nd year games started pouring in.
Nintendo secured a Monster Hunter deal, and their IPs are probably the most reliably system selling out there.

woah I'd buy this, my daughter will be thrilled
One thing about using content from different accounts. The link in the OP says you can, but you just can't earn trophies on them. However that's Vita content. What about PSP (and soon PS1) games? Got a few on my US PSN, but It'd be less hassle to be able to play on my main UK account.
There are no trophies in PS1 and PSP titles. If you're referring to the account juggling that's the same.

Yes, that was last TGS, we'll see what this TGS brings us.
Reading that again, it does sound like I asked for trophies!
Yeah I meant if I'd be able to play my US games while on my UK account. Great if I can
Now I just need to wait for the Vita to arrive. I've got a 32Gb card and Gravity Rush just waiting in my room...

It really wasn't the same. At the same point in it's life, the 3DS had sold three times as many units, a significant price cut had just happened and it had big franchise games on the way.
Sony's situation with the Vita is far worse than Nintendo ever had with the 3DS.

Wonder if imports will be part of the ps1 games we get access too....
You're not going to be able to play US PSN content while using your UK account. You'll have to account juggle (meaning signing in your US account to play US Store purchases) to do so.
Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G will be the biggest announcement for Vita at TGS.
Ah well. Disappointing, but I can deal. I'll play Gravity Rush and Uncharted, then I'll get all my US out of the way in one go and then switch back
EDIT: Valkyria Chronicles 2 is one of my PSP games. As i understand, it's not able to be download direct to the Vita. Download to PS3, do not install and transfer the bubble to the Vita? I assume it's the same for all DLC items?

lol, that's...

I forgot Vita is getting another little king's story, is that coming to NA this year?
As for TGS all I want is a Dark Cloud 3 announcement, preferably for PS3 but I'll take Vita too. It doesn't have to be from Level 5 either I'm just tired of waiting.
I would put that on my list but my friend got it on day 1 and said it looked like a PS2 game so I figured I'd probably wait for next year's when they get the system down better. Also since it's a first party game I'm sure Sony will give the Vita version for free next year since they're doing that now.

probably a cheap PSN game?
Yeah. It's PSN-only in North America and scheduled for some time soon.
I can't explain it, but I really want it
