Vita PSN Game And Service Thread

I can see Sony approaching this on two different fronts. And given the market disparities between them it would make sense.

1. Position the PS4 directly against the Xbox in North America. Do NOT bundle in the Vita with the system as a controller option.
2. Position the PS3 directly against the WiiU in Japan where they DO bundle in the Vita with the system as a controller option.

The challenge lies in Sony being able to allocate the resources to wage war on both fronts. I don't believe they do. They should probably focus on Option #2 in the short-term and only focus on Option #1 when they have the resources to do so.

Problem with option 2 is that they'd need valid games to win the customer over. The Wii definitely has a head start and its clear Sony doesnt have any games for that atm, but still quite a lot of time to work on the PS4 plan. I dont think the PS3 + Vita connection was ever really planned as more than a gimmick after seeing that Nintendo did it.
 
Just going through the new PSN store on PS3 for the first time and...

damn.

I want that on Vita too. Those categories are so... neat. There is a category with Weekly deals where it shows some PSP games I didnt even know had a discount at the moment.

If anyonge wants to knows, The Red Star is only $4,99 atm for PSP. Enjoyed that on PS2. Shmup mixed with sidescrolling shooter if I recall correctly.

I find the new store terrible.
It's sooo slow and laggy. Ugh.

And sidescrolling shooters = shmups.
Gradius is as much a shmup as Ikaruga. ;)

Save the $5 and add another $5 and get Sine Mora tomorrow. :D

Disagree.
Just fix remote play so it fucking works. (read: on more than 3 titles) Now you have the "streaming the console to the gamepad" covered.
All you're missing now the ability to do things like split screen multiplayer a la Black Ops 2 or doing things like Nintendo Land.
But LBP2 has made it so you can do things a la Nintendo land, using the Vita as the controller and taking advantage of it's touch screens and such, I think.
And if the userbase grew, I'm sure more developers would be willing to experiment with the cross platform abilities. I mean, Capcom's been doing something with it for UMvC3 and SFxT... so it's not like it's impossible.
 
My friends... there aren't any Black Friday deals for memory cards, are there? =/

I've seen so many people hoping for memory card sales, it's almost like someone should make a thread about it.

VITA IS DOOMED BECAUSE THERE'S NO SALES ON MEMORY CARDS ON BLACK FRIDAY...

(so yeah, your answer is in there somewhere. ;) )

I WILL get Sine Mora tomorrow.
I also WILL get ZHP tomorrow.
And I most certainly WILL get P4G tomorrow.
And I also definitely will get someone else to play What did I do to deserve this My Lord with me during the next few weeks.

And I didnt mean sidescrolling shooter as much as a sidescrolling brawler (mixed with a shmup). Just watch this:

It was surprisingly fun.
 
Wow. The library sync for Music Unlimited is slooooooooooooow.

It's been a few hours.
 
never use music subscription service before, just try the trial and may grab the 1 yesr deal, but how good is sony music unlimited compare to other music service in general? I just browse some of the music selection and it didn't have Skyfall Adele song :(
 
i can't even respond seriously to these damn posts

YOU'RE KILLING ME

One joke at a time,
Joyfully killing Heaper.
Wuthering and I.

Alternatively,

Dead is the Heaper!
A joke his achilles heel,
gone with the reaper.

...

God damn where is it?
I want my Persona Four
and cant fucking wait.

...

Great, now I cant stop..
God, I need to go to bed.
...typing this instead.

Oh no, the update bricked my Vita, I unplugged it during update and now it is worthless!
OH WAIT, that was the OTHER device recently released.
All good here!
 
"The activities list for Friends has been moved to the LiveArea screen of Friends." Finally! This made more sense than having it in near!
 
I had an error downloading the firmware update 51% in, and I'm trying to download it again and it's stuck on 0%. I'm scared!

Edit: I took it back off the dock and it started working again. Weird.
 
I wanted to play the poem game but FW dropped while I was getting my mad skills on. Oh well, here have a laugh.

I went to chat
with my vita bros
and the vita cats

Carl pimping the blobs
Toto hating on P3P
Heapers avatar has boobs

All the vita cats
strutting their stuff
Just a skit and scat

Dreams of firmware
downloading to Vita
slower than a hare

Persona four coming
excitement is rising
Fsteaks and pudding

Masses with pitchforks
screaming Vita is dead
why aren't you shocked?

They continue with pitches
vita has no games
now suck it bitches

Now finish this rhyme
didn't you know,
It's Grace Chen time!
 
Oh god, that browser.
The joy of loading pages,
now in lightning fast!
 
Hum the email thing seems alright.. it seems to work properly ..

Ohhh you can toogle the notifications ( witch one you want them to appear or not )

COOL

Carefully read this.
Words from the master himself!
You can do it too!

When spoken aloud
Each distinct sound is its own
Syllable, savvy?

So hai-ku has two,
Syl-lab-le has three and, you,
Diprosalic, four.

The haiku pattern
Is five syllables first line,
Then seven, then five.

(Well, supposedly
Ha-i-ku's three syllables
But this ain't Japan.)

youtube link test for browser, sorry guys :)

(nope no redirection still).
I am trying this..
Still no HTML5?
I am disappoint.
 
Does the Vita come with a memory card when you purcahse it? Is it enough to at least download 1 game at a time? I really want one so I can take advantage of the PS+ deal

Get one of the BF bundles and you should be covered. Plan on getting a bigger card at some point though.

Most of the bundles include a 4GB, i think. You should read the box to make sure though.

That should be enough for a few games (Full Vita Games) depending on which ones. You could fit a good number of PSP games on a 4GB

Most bundles come with a memory card. They're usually the 4GB one so depending on the game you should be able to fit it on the card.
