Ehh..not sure about that? Anyone else confirm? Maybe all-digital only? The Vita costumes haven't had the download button for me, in the vita store, since launch. I do have the PS3 costumes though.

Preordered on the Store in the UK here, have the costumes for both no problem. You might want to get in touch with Sony.
 
Gravity Rush done. Beautiful from beginning to end. Can't wait for the sequel. :)

Also have to come up with some money to buy the DLC. :/


Anyway, Uncharted is next. My poor 4GB has been brought to its knees. :(

I just confirmed it with him.
But it looks like you guys must've gotten SFxTekken'ed.
Good luck with that. It happened to a bunch of Vita owners and there are a lot of them that never got their PS3 character unlock codes or Complete Alt Costume packs (for PS3 if they had a GS code, for PS3/Vita if they had a Amazon code).

I think it was only a NA issue.
He preordered from US PSN store and didn't have them day 1, but it fixed within 24-48 hours for him.
Besides, a SuperBot patch isn't going to fix that issue. That's a PSN Store/Gamestop issue. :\
Again, good luck to you guys. Didn't realize the fix in the store wasn't for everyone.
 
I got the assassins creed bundle but I agreed to wait till christmas to open it. I'm wondering if Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is one of the psone classics I can download on the vita?
 
Yesterday I got Music Unlimited with the PS+ offer and I'm so fuckin' amazed:
  • Huge catalog with a lot of rare and new stuff that I doubted that was gonna be here (including singles).
  • No ads.
  • You can download stuff for when going offline with my wifi Vita so you won't be limited by streaming.
  • 1 year for 12€.
  • Library and playlists shared between PS3 and Vita.
  • The sound quality seems really good (anyone knows the bitrate?).
  • Seems to have PC, iOS, Android and PSP (and others) clients, too.
  • Seems that you can upload your own music from the PC.
  • Great organization and search (you can browse by decade/genre/mood/others, normal search, autorecomendations, etc).

Right now the only bad thing I found are:
  • You can't listen this music in background like with the normal Vita music player. Edit: You can do it while in offline mode :)
  • Doesn't have the social features of Spotify (view or share user created playlists, see what they listen, etc)
  • You can't add all the albums of an artist directly to a playlist, you have to do it album by album.

Hope they fix these 2 things with future updates, buth everything else seems great.

Works on Vita, but cant be downloaded directly and needs to be transferred via PS3.

Yeah I love the Vita app but the Android app (which I use way more) is so buggy which is really disappointing. It hardly ever even starts on 3G.

Thanks for confirmation.

So strange it still says not available for download in my Vita Store list.
I got my code from BestBuy btw.

You can definitely buy it straight off of the Vita store in the UK. Because I did.

UK has a metric ton of PSOne classics when compared to NA.

Dingotech said:
How much is it?

Also when do we find out about US PS+ deals for December?
Click to expand...

NA store sucks, so we find out on Tuesday before the update goes live.

Doesn't seem to be in the deals section, but I looked it up, it's $22.49 which is still less than the $39.99 the game itself lists for.

Hmm, as I suspected. There is no way to transfer the costumes from the PS3.

This is total crap. I can't play with bald Kratos.

Can't believe they still haven't fixed the issue on Vita where u can't download alternate costumes. Did anyone get their AC's on their Vita without the PS3

you can listen to music in background but only in offline mode. so made your playlist available offline, then go to offline tab and play the music, when you go to vita homescreen, web browser or other game, the music will still be playing.
 
Just finished playing PS Allstars. I can believe thats on a handheld. Its amazing.

Only problem is I can't figure out how to play online. I go into the wifi menu but it keeps telling me i need another player and I only end up playing against bots. I can invite friends but not play against random people.

Whats the deal?
 
I'm currently trying to decide between a 32gb card and P4: I'm getting both eventually, but the one I get first will decide what games I play in the short term (the card will allow me to load it up with PS+ and PSone games). I think I'm slightly partial toward P4, however I'm slightly worried about memory card availability in the coming months because I absolutely need one for a cross-continental plane ride in January. Hmm...

Edit: does anyone have the Hori hard case? I can't see any reason not to get it over the official case from Sony.

P4 is an amazing game,but if you have PS+, grab a 32gb card to play all those games. Its sooo much easier to handle stuff on Vita if you actually have space.

I sub'd with the $12/year deal. I thought it would save me money as I am a Spotify Premium user. After a week or so I'm definitely not canceling Spotify. Granted, I have somewhat eclectic tastes but, the experience with Music Unlimited hasn't been really great for me.

I do like how well the sync works on PS3, Vita, and PC though. The Android app is too buggy for me to use unfortunately.
 
How come no one is talking about how well Vita sold on black friday? Or did I miss it? Everyone seems to jump on every negative Vita article so I figured id see more hype!

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/29/sony-reveals-playstation-3-vita-black-friday-sales

Sony has revealed that 525,000 PlayStation 3 units were sold in the United States between November 18th and November 24th. “Black Friday bundle sales increased 15%, and total PS3 sales including hardware, software and peripherals, grew 9% over the same period last year,” according to Sony. In Latin America, which isn’t included in the sales figures provided, PlayStation 3 saw a staggering 200% year-over-year growth.

PlayStation Vita also enjoyed great sales in the US during the period ranging from November 18th to November 24th. 160,000 units were sold during that time period. Sony notes that Amazon in particular sold out of “specially priced [Vita] inventory” in under five hours.

No one at this point argues against the amazingness of PlayStation Plus, and Sony reports that Plus also saw significant growth. “Sales of PlayStation Plus subscriptions on PlayStation Network increased 259% compared to last year’s Black Friday period,” Sony states, with “customer satisfaction rates for PS Plus… above 95%.”

Well, I just beat Sine Mora on hard. BOOYEAH.

And then I went back to normal, trying the
alternate story
mode and then this happened:

We talked about it :) And while its nice to see these numbers, they dont mean anything long term as those numbers were sales driven, which Sony cant do all year round. The christmas numbers will be a bit more interesting.

Still lovely to see so many new owners of course!
 
I just started playing Uncharted. Since it's such an old game, how screwed am I in regards to finding people to Near gift me the bounties?
 
Golden Aybss: Platinum!

Now to get Jet Set Radio and Gravity Rush I guess... Gotta back up the save for Uncarded first though.

heh I'm at the end of uncharted and will soon start Gravity Rush. I also intend to platinum it as apparently it's not hard? Assuming I have fun with it of course.

Not sure at this point -- some of the challenges seem aggravating to get gold on, but maybe they're easier if you max your upgrades?

Some definitely get easier with more upgrades.

Yeah, I made it to about chapter 11 and ending up putting it down for some reason. I haven't picked it back up yet.

Is there a "chapter select" or something at the end of the game, because I've missed some of the unique Navi bosses...
 
After beating the hardest story mode in Sine Mora, one would think to be prepared for Arcade mode.

Nnnnnnope.
 
Welp, my girlfriend just bought the Music Unlimited sub for + members. My apartment will be a zoo of weird music for the next year.

Happy Anniversary by Ray, Goodman and Brown? She's just trying to torture me. Damnit, Sony.

That is a really nice shot. Could you redo that one without the HUD? (turn off in options)
