Yeah, all 2 of them on gaf. :/

Edit: Oh damn, top page! Buy Hot Shots Golf - World Invitational even if you don't like golf. Lots to unlock and more depth than any sports game I've seen/played.

Eh, I don't see how it's much different than company's like Hulu and Netflix doing similar things. Still a little weird, but they aren't the only company to do that.

I think it has more to do that Sony aren't doing much of anything else to sell a Vita. Not that they're the only company who does this.

1. How much mileage does a 32gb card have for DD only? I hear some Vita games are 2-3gb and psp games can be 500mb to a gig, yet some people seem to heaps on just one card.

3,3 GB is max , most vita games will be well below 2 gb

2. The PC software, you can back DD games / saves up? So if the PSN went down your games are yours as long as you have the PC backup correct?

Hmm i think you need internet connection when transfering games from pc to vita so it is checking your licences with server

3. Some games (MHFU for example) don't appear on the EU vita store I hear but you can buy them on your PC (don't have a PS3) via mediago and then dl to the Vita direct, correct?

only possible through ps3 afaik

Thanks, so maybe not go DD only if you are paranoid about the PSN? I figured the PC backups might be safe enough.
 
the biggest push for the vita was the taco bell promo contest early on when everyone wanted a vita...i wonder how much taco bell made from that. sony needs to do another contest where 1 in ever 2 wins...

Toto's shtick is old hat. P3P is good, dun listen to them.

This $20 credit thing has me worried a tad.
Click to expand...

I don't know why it's worry some. credits for buying a system are really commonplace before a price drop... if you ever want to know when a price cut is coming just wait until you see everyone offering a "buy this system and get $25-$50 in store credit" deals lol. and we all know the vita will get a price cut sometime this year.

an old sage live on a snowy mountain with his chicken once said " low price and good well known franchises"

Kaz Hirai should meet him someday and learn.
 
I can't really single out Sony for being the only one to have a referral program thing, but I don't like it anyway. Only because I don't know anyone who wants a Vita that doesn't already own one.

No,for an example Yakuza 4 is even worse than P3P. at least P3P don't shat itself story wise.

That's true.
 
One day after they have left their respective companies I'd love to have yosp and miyamoto on a podcast together.

That be such a fascinating conversation

4. Grips or no grips? I have big hands...
Click to expand...

I've got the Hori grips. They're awesome.

I can happily play without grips but there's several benefits to having them. Super comfortable for long sessions, easy to hold the device one-handed when swiping the screen, accidental contact with the rear panel a thing of the past.

I fail to see what's the big deal with that referal promo ?
Click to expand...

It's less a problem with the promo itself, cause other companies do it all the time, and Sony doing it for a product that's commonly perceived as having low sales and no marketing. It's not completely unexpected that people will see it as a desperation tactic. If the Vita's sales weren't so dire, people wouldn't be batting an eyelash.

I asked this last night right before the old thread got locked. Are imported games able to be patched/updated without having to switch accounts and memory cards?
 
I can also recommend the Hori grips. Good for long play sessions and they feel great while playing a shooter.

Would love to get my hands on the Nyko PowerGrip, but no EU release and don't know where to import from. :( Hopefully other alternatives will turn up.

I've got an EU account and imported Madden 13 and MLB 12, both downloaded patches fine.
 
Will ask a second time since people are too busy shitting up the thread to help:

Where did you find the email? (and when)
I have a US psn account and an EU one and never saw this email.

A friend of mine just bought a vita so it would come in handy for us both.

You have to be signed up to Sony Rewards (never heard of it either) and have a US account I think.
 
Damn. If only I waited 2 more days before switching to my US account. I would have done that Gravity Rush race and none of you lot would be able to compare!
 
This promotion is minor compared to the last time I was in a Gamestop. Literally jumped by a (female) Sony rep asking me if I've tried the Vita yet, and how it can be mine if I trade in 8 games worth $20 dollars or more! -_-

What's wrong with you? Sometimes I feel that you are an actual moron. The game looks great.

Sorry but it don't look "great" to me,maybe I should lower my expectations.

oh well..at least it's not as ugly as Marvelous AQL game,no PSone textures here.

You don't have to think it looks great, it's just the ridiculousness of your statements all the time. "It looks like a PSP game." You know that's a dumb thing to say and completely untrue, but you always do it for some reason. You're one of the biggest fans of hyperbole I've ever seen.

to be fair, toto isn't exactly wrong, it looks like a high quality psp release... which really shouldn't come as a surprise given it's being released on both psp and psv,

i mean

hardly looks stunning with all of those jaggies.

I'm not saying it looks bad, but it does in fact look like something that could be on the psp, likely because it is in fact going to be running on the psp, the psv version will likely just be a small visual upgrade as they wouldn't waste the resources to make the psv version vastly superior.

edit: it feels odd defending toto :/

You should try the demo with me and Kyon someday. Online is pretty smooth too.

I wish people would stop attacking Toto whenever he says anything. He could proclaim Vita the greatest handheld in history and some of you guys would pounce on him.

GE2 looked great in those low-quality Famitsu scans. Now in direct feed, its deficiencies have been exposed. Lovely rim lighting aside, it looks like a PSP game.

I mean, come on. It is a PSP game. Stop being idiots.
 
Well in the defence of the mob, a broken clock is right twice a day. And I agree, the game is clearly not 'that' improved for the Vita (When comparing it to Native Vita games).
