Ah that sucks Rasec

One of the guys on the blog


The possibility for some more next week maybe?

Seems quite likely from the sounds of things yeah..nice, nice. They mentioned FF titles going on sale (likely) again in the christmas sales..

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

Thanks. I guess it's just plain slow.

The chief reason it's as slow as it is has more to do with the encryption/decryption Sony's using on the game files for security than memory card or USB speeds, I suspect. The Vita processor is powerful, but they're using hardcore, encryption and doing it all on the Vita, and that costs processing time.

Does MGS PO still not work on vita? with this MGS Ground zeroes thing and now playing HD collection i can see that one as the only i have yet to play because of the controls and i guess the camera could be mapped to second analog on vita.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Thanks! I have had plus running for a long time and always added games to my basket and checked out, didn't always download them though. Will have to check my transaction history later.

Just checked my history the offer was in November, all I picked up was Crash 3 and CTR. Will make the most of those I guess.

Are the ps2 ported Ratchet games getting trophies?

Because thier first PS3 exclusive Tools of Destruction still does even have trophies yet.

Ya mean the Ratchet HD collection? Yeah they do have trophies.

I tried it with the release of 1.80 and no joy...

I have PO installed on Vita, I've never launched it, but I assumed if it installed, it'd work. Are there many games like that?

Got this $10. off from any pre-owned purchase of $29.99 or more at Gamestop promo code from CAG yesterday . Is a promotion with Simon Mall and Coke, code EBC3034713 or you can text any Coca Cola picture with the subject GAME to 74666 to get the same code.

Got Lumines and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 to complete my Vita game collection, for around $20. each after the discount.

Here is the link to the CAG thread

it would have been great that kojima(or sony if only fw related) had thought about it and made all PSN MGS games Vita compatible for this 25th anniversary . Such a pitty. I will have to youtube the plot or something so i do not miss anything for Ground zeroes

Can you launch and confirm its status?

 

[StuBurns]

Can you launch and confirm its status?

Just tried, it works for me.

I'm off out now, so I can't really dig in, but it seems fine.

 

[Canis lupus]

Thanks for confirming it StuBurns. I will get the game then, hopefully Konami will have some sale going on.

 

[Kacho]

I purchased 4 games on the Vita for a whopping total of $60 a couple days ago and now it won't let me buy more games or add funds to my wallet. It gives me the np-2244-2 error.

How long do I need to wait for this to go away? From what I read, Sony has a system in place that will lock additional purchases if they suspect suspicious activity.

Jeeze... It is getting harder and harder to bite the digital bullet with all these discounts, price drops and sales on physical media.

LOL, only Sony could come up with an error code that locks people out of buying stuff because they were buying stuff. Seriously, love your hardware Sony, but you can't manage for shit.

Retro sale on EU PSN..

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/09/04/retro-games-sale-starts-tomorrow/

OF COURSE SCEE gets a big fat retro sale. Let's see, what does SCEA give us? Nothing, nothing, and... nothing. Yep, gotta love the tightassed clueless suits at SCEA.

Well, if other people are saying it doesn't work, maybe it's a US/Euro thing, the US can play Tetris, and Europe can't for example.

I'm in Europe, and my copy is from the UK PSN store.

 

[Cornbread78]

Spam projectiles, and when he taunts, move in for an easy uppercut or x-ray special if you've got it. It's a cheap strategy, but he's a cheap boss.

up/down teleport.
sweep legs.
repeat. There's some YouTube videos to show you.

I'll try both, between Death mode in Sound Shapes and this final piece of crap cheap boss, I don't know whch one has made me want to throw my VITA more.

 

[xrayregime]

Just got an e-mail that you can get the PS Vita Madden bundle with MLB 12: The Show and a 4 gig memory card for 249.99 on Amazon.

Wow, nice deal for sports game fans.

 

[Famassu]

I can see nothing on that list that I want. Was hoping we'd finally get a sale on RE games.

We also need an XSEED PSP sale!

TitS was already on sale just recently and the Ys games are, like, less than 10€ a pop. Just give in and buy them at those prices already.

That would make sense. When you have some spare time could you try if right vita analog can work as camera and works well so it can be played like peace walker on ps3?

 

[neorej]

I just got the Vita, and in order to use multiple PSN accounts (one for me, one for my GF), I got 2 memorycards. The system wants to format the memcard every time we swap memorycards, are we doing something wrong or is this a handheld that's geared towards a single user?

Definitely geared toward a single user. If you each want your own account, you will have to initialize the system every time you want to switch (~5 minutes process). You don't need to format the memory card to do so.

Pretty much geared for single user, sadly. Sony is Sony you know.

Did you change PSN account on the Vita in settings, then insert the memory card for that account? I'm talking out my arse, but maybe that works?

EDIT:

Ah, wow, that really does suck then.

It's geared towards single use, especially as of the latest firmware (v1.80) in which they added the forced reformatting when switching accounts.

 

[neorej]

But I can backup the entire memcard to my PC/PS3 and restore it after the wipe, correct?

 

[nicoga3000]

Hmm....$200 for a used Vita + 16 gig card + MGS Collection. Is that a "fair" deal? I don't know how the after market is on these machines yet.

 

[Carl]

Sounds like a bargain to me

 

[LuchaShaq]

Mine was 150 for vita/16gig card/uncharted/gravity rush.

My friend got a similar bundle but with only MK instead of those 2 games for 150.

 

[Vitacat]

If it's all in excellent condition, then yeah, not bad.

Thats cheap, buy it.


@StuBurns: glad we live in the same region lol.

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

Just tried, it works for me.

I'm off out now, so I can't really dig in, but it seems fine.

You are talking about Portable Ops, not Peace Walker, right? Also, what region are you in. Portable Ops definitely DOES NOT WORK in NA.

edit: ah, so PO works in Euroland... nice for youse guys!

 

[Vitacat]

That's crazy. Seriously. WTF do people buy all that nice expensive stuff for only to resell it for a pittance a few weeks/months later. I really don't get it. Vita is barely out for 6 months, and they already give up on it? Man.

But hey, you got one helluva deal. Enjoy.

 

[nicoga3000]

Sounds like I should look into this deal, then. Maybe I'll have him drive to me to save on gas (and call that a savings on my end, ha).

Thanks guys.

Yeah for some reason the craiglist here has been flooded with them.

Have been toying with the idea of buying some more bundles in the 130-170 range and reselling them piece by piece on amazon for profit.

 

[Famassu]

Preordered DJMAX Technika Tune Limited Edition from CDJapan. :3 I assume I'll probably miss out on a lot of DLC? Oh well, maybe this time Europe gets into the action too and I can buy it cheap when I master the songs in the game (which is never).

 

[MarshMellow96]

Has RE2 been removed from the EU Vita store?

 

[Carl]

Has RE2 been removed from the EU Vita store?

Don't think it was put up in the first place

E: My mistake, it was...Okay Looks like it must have been removed then

 

[Hanmik]

Has RE2 been removed from the EU Vita store?

I think someone mentioned it was located in a different section.. not in the PS1 classics section. it should be there, somewhere well hidden..

just saw this on the blog..

 

[Carl]

You'd think, with it being announced last month, it would come this month. PS+ came to PS3 the month after it was announced.

As a Vita owner, why would you buy new games knowing that PS+ is coming to it soon?

Such is the way of life. Smart profit on the stupidity of others
I've even heard about people who bough and sold PSP several times

By soon I'm guessing around november/december, just in time for the holiday push

Doesn't seem to show up anywhere.. Strange.
