Is the 3G Vita locked on a mobile phone provider ? Like if I buy a PS Vita with a Vodafone sim card, will I be able to use another one ?
Also, PS Vita 3G Wifi + Little Big Planet + 4Gb memory card for 225€, should I buy or not ?

Especially as I can use it on my Vita, PS3, Sensation, Touchpad, PC, TV (Yes I have a Sony TV)...
Edit: Don't forget to use the free 60 day trial, cancel that sub and then buy the year if you're doing it, so you effectively get 14 months for 12.
UK Vitas are unlocked to any network, not sure about mainland EU.
Conserve battery power.

Ok thanks, what about German Vitas ?
So they have made the exchange rate $1 = £1 then?
Yeah, but then it was always £9.99 and $9.99 for a sub on MU.

Welp, I bought a Persona4Golden Game Machine PS Vita. Hope I won't regret it
If it's as decent as my PSP gaming-wise I know I won't
^ Congrats man! Welcome to the brotherhood.
Backup complete, now I just need to re-friend request everyone. :lol:
I can try it after lunch if you're concerned about it

I just done exactly that, activated the trial then added the year after that. You still have to deactivate auto renewals on the 60 days otherwise it was set to charge £9.99 after 2 months.
Thanks for the confirmation and thanks for the offer Monosukoi! Will do this when I get home from work then, 14 months for less than £1 a month is a great deal.

I don't think so. From the FAQs:
They are very specific about it and they just updated this rule on the 19th.
Despite all the negativity, I decided to get myself a Vita (found a pretty good deal here in Ireland). Loving it so far, Uncharted is amazing, second analoge stick makes a world of difference.
Small question though, my PSN account is from the UK region - if I buy a Vita game digitally via my PS3 using my Irish PSN and then transfer it to my UK region Vita, will the content still work? Really want to get Virtue's Last Reward, but not sure if my local shops will stock it. Thanks!

Some GAF fanbases have no problem being hypocrites or having double standards about certain things... ultimately only choosing to like them when it's deemed to be "cool" or socially accepted by the masses (via Sales Age success and/or a positive critical reception on Metacritic from the army of PR shills posing as game reviewers).
Hence why console gaming while on the shitter is now the best thing since sliced bread. Even though most of us were doing just that in February while playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss for the first time.
Nope.
Amazon UK say VLR is out 23rd November - is that just a display date or what?

No problemo! Glad you got your answer, kinda tempted myself :3
Aw man, that's a shame... Odd, though, because when I buy DLC and games digitally for through my Irish PSN they work perfectly with my UK account (on PS3). Oh well.
As for Virtue's Last Reward, yeah, I was the impression that it comes out on the 23rd... May have to order it off Amazon then

Bums me out too. I'm right now going through the unenviable process of figuring out save data and soforth just so I can switch to an account with the username I want :lol:
Talking of which, if you're someone who has me added on PSN - expect a message soon, sorry for the inconvenience D:
But the vita has no gamez...
Anyways the brother hood of the vitabros are over. Now we got vitalatchers

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
So uh, does anyone know if Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath next week is crossbuy? I'd love to play it again on Vita, but buying it a second time, I don't know.
I'm a cheapskate, I know
Also, i'm interested in Ragnarok. How's that game?

I doubt it,
I thought it will be $20 but then i saw its 15 for psn version, so it better be 15 for vita.
There's a demo that will give you some idea how it controls. It's a fun game, but it's also not for everyone. If you need a steady stream of unlockable, slightly better than the last unlocked equipment/outfits (ala MH) to justify going out into the field, you will probably be disappointed.

A quick writeup I did over in the Ragnarok thread (and I think in this thread somewhere).
Pros
- Challenging
- Skill based progression similar to Monster Hunter
- Online multiplayer
- Loot is [usually] rewarding, typically in the form of cards
Cons
- Camera can be a bit wonky at times
- Challenge can become a bit much at times, sometimes to the point of feeling unfair (multiple enemies stun-locking you to death)
- Online can get quite laggy at times
- Loot and crafting progression is incredibly slow
So OK, the game is a LOT of fun. If you're a fan of Monster Hunter or Gods Eater Burst, you'll likely enjoy this game. Controls feel more similar to GEB than MH, fyi. The way you customize your character (stat/skill wise) is through cards. They have abilities like Atk Lv1 or Fast Recover or Poison Resist. You combine these cards in your armor to provide a slew of boosts (or "debuffs"/tradeoffs that some cards can have).
You also find and craft weapons that have skills on them. Ideally, finding a weapon that gives you two strong positive stat or trait boosts is what you want to hunt down.
The major issues of this game revolve around the loot progression, though. The camera can be a bit off, but that's manageable (not excusable, but it's something that you can at least figure out in time). The massive enemy groups becomes a bit ludicrous at times (Kill 100 Fire Giants in 30 minutes GO!), and the fact that many of these enemies will take you down in only a few hits, AND the fact that many can stun-lock you...Well, it's rough. More frustrating than game breaking, though.
But crafting and loot progression...Getting a good weapon to drop seems like a rare occurrence. In the 20 hours I've played, I've had one weapon drop that I could legitimately use. I'm not saying I haven't SEEN other Bows, but they've typically had mediocre bonuses or lower attack than my bow.
You also get materials and cards. Materials come from enemies and environment barrels and boxes. You can also break boss monster parts for their horns, gauntlets, tail fur, etc. The REAL problem with crafting is that you only get new recipes as you progress through the story. This presents you with a stale progression that's not limited by your hunting and gathering but by the difficulty of the mission you're currently on. If you get stuck (which you will), it's not a matter of saying, "Well I guess I'll go grind some materials for that armor I want." Monster Hunter crafting blows this game's system out of the water.
I'm a bit tired this morning, so I apologize for this little writeup being all over the place. The two most important things about what I've said:
1) Skill based progression similar to Monster Hunter and Gods Eater Burst (and similar controls, too)
2) Loot and crafting stagnates quickly and isn't as rewarding as other similar titles
That being said, it's definitely worth $40.
I totally get why people would want to do that, but I've always just uploaded them to a separate folder on Flickr using the app. That app just needs the ability to select more than one image at a time to upload (you cna upload many, but only select one at a time!) and the ability to default to a specific Set.
I am good enough to include my GAF ID in the details for my PSN ID if that helps
EDIT:
It also seems like an odd decision from Sony to limit Cross Play saves to 1MB. More so when you see something like LBP is for some people over 100mb in size! I get putting a limit on it but 1MB just seems overly restrictive.

Woooo! The update made this browser render gaf correctly and make it all fast. Now i can play ZHP and check gaf occasionally.
To be fair, though, the bow you start with is actually pretty good for a starting weapon, and also quests take far longer for hunters anyway, so it will take you longer to get to the point where you're finding bows that are nicer than that weapon.
Yeah i use flickr too. Great app, works really well.

I was referring to a more "in general" sense. The bow was my example since the Hunter is pretty weak overall, haha. But yeah, relatively speaking, the weapon isn't terrible...But that doesn't disprove the fact that loot and any sort of gear progression is pretty damn slow in the game.
It doesn't give me the option to subscribe though, it says I already have a plan. :s
Note to self: check auto-renewal for MU subscription later.

Yes.
Go to the very front page of the mobile app, and scroll all the way down.
There will be a link to 'disable mobile app'.

There's no demo on the Dutch Store, i'm afraid.
Thanks for the impression nicoga3000 (& co.
), very helpfull! Will probably buy it when the price drops but for now, i'll pass. I love RPG's and loot, but i'm not into the whole 'frustraing' aspect.
seriously?? why does psn vary so much for people? that's so lame. or is it your internet connection? i get about 2-4 MB/s download on average with psn, and it most definitely is not maxing out my internet connection.
It's his connection I think.
And downloads on my Vita are always fast, the PS3 can be fast or dog slow. PS3 is wired, Vita is Wireless N.
