Man then I have no idea.
I wanted to buy Sine Mora but it seems I accidentally purchased the PS3 version(( I realized too late that the game had 2 different SKUs listed on PSN, unlike, well, almost every other multiplatform game.
Do Sony refund purchases at all? :/ I've tried to get a hold of some sort of support e-mail address but apparently they only take calls? And I'm not sure if I should call since I have a NA account while I'm actually based in Europe. :/
Couldn't hurt to try. Can't see why they couldn't swap versions, refund aside.
Just for fun, thought I'd share my current Vita library. Only 5 of those titles are retail, the rest are downloaded onto my 32GB card. I don't know why I can't stop myself from buying shit, but most of my gaming time is on the bus ride to work. My PS3 doesn't get much gaming on a daily basis, due to work, so I save Ni No Kuni for the weekends.
On the bus to and from work, I have 10 hours of free game time a week to take advantage of. The Vita has been a frigging Godsend in terms of making the LA commute to and from work bearable.
Anyway, here's my library!
I'm really trying to chip away at it, but some games are really hard to pull away from. I can kill a whole bus ride playing PlayStation All Stars and Kyntt Underground.

I'm really tempted by the PSP Genesis/Mega Drive Collection, but it doesn't come with Alien Storm or the Streets of Rage series. D:
What new method? What happened?
Where did you get your wallpapers form?
All except one of my referrals have been successful so far. People on CAG are saying that the serial code that Sony asked for was actually the 9 digit bar code number after "DC."

A bunch of referrals didn't work(yours included). ): I'm trying to find a solution before I contact those who referrals didn't go through. I was talking to Xenoflux and the site let him insert his actual serial number that time, so maybe...?
Was mine successful? Out of curiosity.

Could you elaborate on this? Almost all of my referrals were not successfull, so I'd like to send them some instructions to try again

Wait, how do we know if a referral was not successful?
And you didn't tell me anything ;__;
I just sent you a PM, but the one person who has been successful so far used a Gmail address that began with a "j."

The one that sent out the referrals can login at urefer.com/sonyvita and then check the status.

I'm sorry! Like I said, I'm waiting for real instructions on how to get it to work. I don't want people wasting their time a second time only for it to not work yet again. <3

WOW! Only 6 of mine worked. Shit, shit, shit. Time to PM everybody.
Yeah, what's my status on that?
From what it sounds like on CAG, people emailed Sony about it and the told them it's the 9 numbers between DC and PCH on what is actually the Barcode Number and not the Serial Number. Of course Sony reps could just be talking out of their ass.
But there are people who said all of their 9 number ones went through, but there are also some who have gotten accepted with the 0 added.
Basically I'm telling my referrals to enter the "XXXXXXXXX" part of the "DCXXXXXXXXX-PCH10001" that is on the bottom left of the Vita.
All we know is that the form must take a 9 digit number. If the above doesn't work again, I'm going to suggest just entering the Serial number because that is also 9 numbers (ex: DCXXXXXXX)

Any opinions on any of the SNK/NeoGeo collections for the PSP?

Same here, any euro Vitabros managed to register their EU serials successfully? There is no "DC" on my Vita serial No., but HC and only 7 numbers after it.

I love my Capcom Classics PSP games. I'm all about this.

Thanks for keeping us updates with this referral stuff
I get the feeling we won't ever know for sure. I'm afraid the people behind the validations are just doing it manually, which would explain why all forms of entering the code have gone through. For example, maybe one employee just accepts everything, while another is a hardass and rejects everything.
It's obviously not automatically validated because there are some that are still pending. If it was we would know immediately if someone was rejected or accepted.
In any case anyone who signed up with me for referrals will get a email personally once it goes through.
I actually think I got them from one of the picture threads here on GAF. There were some great photos that I saved to a wallpaper folder, then transferred them to my Vita. If I can find the link to the thread, I'll post it.
Might have been this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=425526
There's some great pictures in there.

Yeah it accepted the serial number this time where last time it wouldn't. Fingers crossed it works.
I've got some comments on the new PlayStation All-Stars Bomba Royale DLC. I wonder if Toyama had anything to do with Kat's story mode. The language she and Gade speak sounds very little like the language in the actual game. It was to the point where I wondered if the same voice actors reprised their roles because they sounded so different. Looking through the credits Sanae Kobayashi, and Binbin Takaoka did indeed come back as Kat, and Gade in All-Stars. I don't know, I guess maybe it's because in Gravity Rush there is little actual voice acting, and that change startled me. The comic art doesn't look to have been done by Xebec (who did the cutscenes in Gravity Rush, and the Gravity Days webcomic) either, and in the credits sequence Toyama is not specifically thanked. It's just a "Thanks to the Gravity Rush team" thing...

Isn't it just French?
Nope, GR's language is made-up gibberish made to sound like french on purpose.

I'm trying to find out who put in what with the few people I sent them out to. So far, I found out that 2 put their serial nubmer and a 0 and it worked, and another put the digits under the barcode. This is too confusinggggg
It's a made up language influenced French and Japanese.
Like I said, random employees just unilaterally deciding what gets accepted and what doesn't.

My mind is now blown.
I thought it was French the whole time...

I hope they have a dartboard set up to at least choose. Mix some fun in! D:
They definitely got the phonemes right if it confused people!
Another funny French in gaming moment - I thought Ys Origin's intro was just gibberish until I heard it the second time.
I saw! I'm sure Simlish is actuallly understandable too if you put enough effort into it, but it's still technically gibberish. :V
picked up a used 3g vita and 8gb memory card for ~£125 today... been accepting everytihng on the eu psn plus for like the past few months, what do you recommend from all the ps+ games, i've put psp powerstone collection, capcom classics with street fighter and vice city stories on for psp goodness...

Probably a new game for 3DS while Vita gets nothing. I don't see Liberation getting ported to PS3/360 in a year with another AC game, unless the next one is solely PS4/720/PC.

So how does this referral thing work? How do I "get referred" by someone and will I get $20 on the PSN?
Shoot me a PM and I'll send you my referral code.
And yes, both people get a $20 code.

Not likely. They're better about refunds for bullshit situations (read: Big Sky Infinite "I bought crossbuy using PS3 and it doesn't work on my Vita" or "I bought something on sale and you adjusted the sale price within 30 minutes to be what it was *supposed* to be"), but I don't really see them saying "okay, we'll refund you" to a mistaken purchase -- I had a huge argument with them about their business practices back in the Dec 2010 timeframe and it led to a bunch of changes, but they predicated most of their conversations back then with something along the lines of "no refunds ever.".
Can't hurt to try, as you say, but I wouldn't get my hopes up and wouldn't expect much.
Wonder what the price is these days -- I own 2 because it was a dirt cheap voucher off eBay... don't have 1 or 3 as of yet. Haven't actually tried it yet either.

Sorry for the late reply. GAF was acting up on my iPhone. Anyhow, there are 3 PSP collections that I know of. A SNK Arcade Classics collection that has a lot of the early SNK stuff, a SamSho collection, and of course the Metal Slug Anthology. As a big NeoGeo fan, and an MVS owner, these are really appealing to me, but I'm not sure how they compare to the individually sold games that seem to have great emulation. If anyone has some info/advice on these PSP games, I would greatly appreciate some impressions.

I went to redownload the PSP Genesis Collection when I thought to check if I backed it up to my PS3's HDD - I did. Sooooooo happy!!
Also with the new rumor of the PS4 streaming PS3 games as a form of backwards compatibility, who else is hoping that Sony utilizes Gaikai to FINALLY do remote play properly? I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but if they want to be really competitive, they'll have to use Gaikai for more than just B/C.
