Oh! Well that's disappointing. For me anyway. Enjoy the game, fellow CAG!

I hope to! To be totally honest, I've never had terribly good experiences with Lumines in my (very) limited time playing its various incarnations, but I figure at $9.99 it's lauded enough that it deserves a genuine chance by me.

Either way, haven't been playing Vita much since I beat Rayman, so looking forward to that.

Can you guys help prioritize these games? They all sell for 20$ now.

I would go with Rayman first, particularly if you haven't played it on consoles yet.

As for the others... I couldn't say, but when I've made the same inquiries in this thread, I was told:
Lumines > Wipeout > HSG

Oh yes, it will be mine!

Hmm, that looks pretty good, but I think I'd rather save the $30. The skins are the most compelling part of the package, anyway, in my opinion.

I've never played Lumines games on PSP but I always hear good stuff about it. I'm currently playing Rayman with my 4 year old son co-op on PS3 and really love the game.
I may go for Lumines and/or Wipeout for now : )

What takes me away of many preorder offers is the trade in offer Future shop does on almost every new release. Makes life much easier.

That really is true :/

Their launch day trade promos have been ridiculous over the last few months. I've already snagged Mario Tennis Open, Pokemon Conquest, Kingdom Hearts 3D, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and a 3DS XL, all for less than half of their RRPs (sometimes much less than half).

I think the last instance they had one for a Vita game was Gravity Rush, and I probably would have done that too except I didn't own a Vita at the time :(

Next month the assault on my wallet begins. LBP and FIFA on the same day (I've wanted FIFA on the Vita since before launch but decided to wait for the second version, let's hope that pays off).

Unfortunately no, I just grabbed a different pair of headphones.

Sometimes it's good to dislike sport games :D

I was impressed by the LBP beta, but not enough for me to warrant a purchase. I could see people getting into the level creator, but it's just not my bag I guess

Anyone know who's developing Warriors Lair and how to get in contact with them regarding the game. I hope it's not cancelled. Vita could use that game.

anyone used this?
Click to expand...

Yes! It makes it a lot more comfortable to hold, that's for sure. The only thing I don't like about it are the triggers. They're gonna make you want to squeeze really hard, but don't. Just a light press should do it. I'd recommend it!

Figured it all out. Got my Vita all set up now.

Anyone else download stuff onto the PS3 and then transfer to Vita? Some games were taking ages to download direct and messed up installing a few times. In the end I downloading and transferred 3 games from the PS3 before Motorstorm RC even downloaded direct to Vita.

I'll probably just keep doing that

Downloads are much quicker for me on my Vita. Can download full games inside 2 hours. They take literally a full day on PS3.

Yea, my Vita is, by far, the slowest wireless device in my house. PS3 is actually decent, Vita is like watching pain dry. The only thing that comes close is watching a podcast download directly to my iPhone (which is also pretty slow).

Click to expand...

Usually my speed hovers around 1mbps. My PS3 took about 6 hours to download Sound Shapes. Less than 2 hours on my Vita. I think Rayman Origins was even less than that.

In short, they're both pretty shit and fluctuate a lot. But my Vita is many times faster than my PS3.

My Vita can be surprisingly snappy when it has a strong enough signal. Sometimes I'll do Vita content through my PS3 for the sake of having the backups already stored on my PS3's hard drive.

Overall, I think my Vita is slightly faster than my PS3 in terms of wireless speed, if signal strength is equal I mean.

I had a terrible time downloading updates on my ps3. It seemed like it was having problems writing to my HDD.

I had to do a quick format, which seemed to fix the problem. Unfortunately, I lost like 30 PSN games (game shares)

I thought the assault only starts in October.

What's coming in September ? I'm bad with dates.

Would the fact that my PS3 is less than a year old make a difference. Maybe I just got lucky with PS3 speeds since I know a lot of people who complain over theirs.

I'd take the slower Vita speeds if it means I have faster PS3 speeds that average. It's much easier to download and transfer games via the PS3 since it's faster, appears to have a better install success rate. But more importantly I can download while playing.

Both Uncharted and Gravity Rush disable my WiFi :(

As a huge DQ fan, would you guys recommend Trials In The Sky? I have 20 bucks waiting to be spent on the PSN. I already have Y's Seven and Y's Oath waiting to be played. I just finished up Jean D Arc on my PSP, and what a fun game it was!

They say it's to preserve the battery, which I believe, but it's kinda dumb that it's forced to disable WiFi.

I can understand why they did it. But most of my playing is done at home, so battery life isn't an issue. They could give us the option to choose

Definitely. Awesome game and one of the very best on PSP. It has this charm that few games have.

Will warn you in that it's very easy to miss things in the game. Also how patient are you? It's only the first in a trilogy, and the next two games are no where near being localised
