The Cellphone-style PSP keyboard is 100x better than the Vita's touch screen keyboard. I got insanely fast using it.

I've always hated using it.

Really glad I picked up Urban Trials. Perfect hand held game IMO.

I'm honestly curious as to whether I'll be able to play this on my Mac or Vita first.

Just a little new page bump and a reminder, that the Vita referral ends on the 28th February:

If anybody wants to get into the referral thing and get a 20$ PSN voucher, register your US Vita here: http://psvita.amplifinity.com/offer with my referral code: 14242193

Thanks

Considering the PC version has been patched maybe once or twice... yeah.

1000x!

Just beat Monster Monpiece's final boss (though there's some post-game content). Gameplay time is 26:25, (mind a decent chunk was probably spent sitting in the menus, let's say 20 real hours of gameplay to be safe). This is without touching the online multiplayer at all.

Prior to this point all of the packs in the game had 12 cards in them, 4 rares, which you'd get plenty of. Easy to get all the rares in four or five packs.

But after you beat it you unlock a super pack that not only has 100 cards (6 rares), but a number of them have -obscenely- low draw rates. To the point where it took me around 100 packs (of 3) to find one of the 'low probability' cards which wasn't even a rare. 0 rare pulls. Guess this is their idea of giving the game some longevity after you beat it..

They've been promising it for months now saying it's just around the corner. No biggie ; I bought it prospectively cheap, which might've been stupid, but I refuse to buy the Vita version until OSX can play it.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Anyone catch/remember about 5:40 into the Playstation Meeting that Andew House said that the Vita chipset and OS was so powerful that it could work in the living room and there would be exciting announcements later this year regarding this vision? It sounded to me like they might be releasing a Vita home console or a way to stream games to your TV wirelessly or through HDMI. Thoughts?

The way he said it made it sound like more than just a basic revision though more like a new form factor or something. Vita tablet, Vita home console?

A vita home console makes no sense. Sounds like a tablet and/or phone SKUs, or so I hope. The OS and browser need plenty of work to make it feasible though, as well as the need for more general/mp3/ebooks/comics apps in the store. We are due for a big FW update, so I hope we get one soon that improves the OS/browser. If they do indeed go, then all current vita owners are basically beta testers for this.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

So here goes more Senran Kagura talk! I'm lurking the Senran International Academy forums where there's a thread that tracks pre-order charts, and Senran Kagura seems to be holding its own and is doing better than the previous games in the series.

I'm seriously considering importing it too.

If you're not completely sold on it yet, you can wait for my impressions. You might have a bit of trouble ordering at first, though. A few sites seem sold out~

 

[Fusebox]

Play-asia seem to taking orders still. It isn't cheap at $80 though.

 

[michaelius]

That's rather standard price for Japan isn't it ?

You will never beat Travis.

UNLESS YOU ARE TRAVIS.

5780 Yen (~$62) on amiami

 

[kiyomi]

Tell me about it.

AmiAmi don't include shipping though, supposedly like $12?

 

[Fusebox]

If I were to create a JPN PSN account, does anyone know how much it will cost digitally?

 

[The Grim Heaper]

As does CDJapan for about $10 less(but more for good shipping). I know Amiami and amazon.co.jp are sold out

Tell me about it.

Depends on the weight of the package and shipping type. Vita games don't weigh much, so it probably won't be much above $12 for EMS?

5980¥

Why would he say living room for a tablet though?

I would bet on an Apple TV-like device, mainly advertised as a Netflix/Video Unlimited thing using the Vita SOC and OS as a base.

 

[oyoshimaru]

Is it possible for me to use my japanese psn account on my American PS Vita to buy japanese games on PSN?

um, you know i said i'd check?

i didn't check.

 

[super-famicom]

Is it possible for me to use my japanese psn account on my American PS Vita to buy japanese games on PSN?

Yes, one account per memory card. You can use any region account on a Vita, but It's impossible to switch to your American account to play a Japanese PSN game.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Is it possible for me to use my japanese psn account on my American PS Vita to buy japanese games on PSN?

Yes, but you can only have one account per memory card.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Is it possible for me to use my japanese psn account on my American PS Vita to buy japanese games on PSN?

You can, but you can ONLY play those Japanese PSN games on the Japanese account. You can't, say, download Project Diva f from the Japanese PSN and then play it on your NA account. You can, however, play a retail game from any region on your NA account.

um, you know i said i'd check?

i didn't check.

i don't remember, so i have no clue what you're talking about

Standard fare for EMS is usually around 1200JPY for packages weighing 100g, I believe. Shinovi Versus weighs 130g, and CDJapan lists EMS shipping as 1500JPY*, or a little over $16.

* To the Americas(not South), Oceania, and Middle East.

 

[joe2187]

I edited the link, please try again, it should work now.

Thanks man, just did it.

Using your referral number does that mean you also get another $20?

 

[oyoshimaru]

Thanks for the answer! I'm going all digital with the Vita.

Oh, I just said I'd check the prices the other day, but I'm terrible and I forgot. The work seems to have been done for me, so thanks! Still think it's just a little above my price point.

Anyone tried PSO2 yet? You need an 8gb JP card for it and I can't play it.

Remember, that's probably the most(or second most) expensive shipping available. It's reliable, provides a tracking number, and is pretty damn fast. There's cheaper options, although it'll take longer to get to you, have no tracking number, less reliable(maybe), etc.

Is PSO2 out and available for download? I'll get it later if so.

 

[super-famicom]

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is being released as a PS1 Classic this week, it should be playable on Vita, right?

Nah, 28th I think. But the beta is out for those eligible.

I am not entirely sure if P2:EP will be Vita compatible, but most PS1 classics work. Gonna be let's positive thinking on this!

Persona 2 is two games. The first one was released in the west as a PSP game but the 2nd one hasn't been on western shores since the PS1. I've never played it and am now happy I will have the chance too.

then it looks like i'm out ;~;

Nah, I'd probably wait until orders start being shipped. So there's only a few "omg can't wait"

Spoiler

and loljapan

comments. So tomorrow, maybe?

Eternal Punishment follows P2 from Maya's perspective, I believe. It's different.

 

[Shoyz]

Wake me up when they release a definitive version instead of expecting you to play a PSP game then downgrade to the PS1 shoddily-translated sequel

Oh cool! Is it supposed to be better? The slow combat and easy nature of the PSP version put me off a bit.

P2: Eternal Punishment has never been released digitally before, except in Japan as a PSP port. The first P2 game, Innocent Sin is available as a PSP port in both NA and Japan. It'll be nice to have both on my Vita.

Edit: beaten

can't help thinking this is their last chance to moneygrab some purchase out of ps1 version before they release eternal punishment psp, making people to double dip on both version.

didn't something similar happens with castlevania symphony of the night back then, release ps1 version on psn before they release castlevania chronicles which has symphony of the night in it. also ff tactic ps1 came out before ff tactic remake too.

Which is a good thing.

Atlus has indicated that there's apparently some issue preventing the PSP version from being brought over, so this is the best you're going to get.

It's a retailer event and not open to the public. Anything coming out of it will largely be unofficial leaks.

Been "debunked" a few times. It could just be shoddy translations, but the dev was probably talking about the involvement of PD in the development of the Vita hardware.

At least its not something to party over yet.

That quote actually seems to indicate that they were involved in the hardware development of both PS4 and Vita. Which would make sense - all of Sony's studios were.

This quote is less encouraging:

"I am thinking of asking them what’s going on with Gran Turismo..."

SCEJ in a nutshell.

I'm torn. One one hand the PSP version of GT sucked.

On the other hand, GT5 was awesome on PS3 but the load times were atrocious.

Maybe they should make the Vita version of GT6 a companion version to the PS3 version and they can design the Vita verstion to be played while you wait for the PS3 version to finish loading.
