Playstation Vita

Cheers. As long as its not a piece of shit

I don't fully understand what Wake-Up Club is but it seems to be the kind of uselessly entertaining fluff that Nintendo usually do. I will win as I am the king of morningtime.

[Fuddle]

i got a trophy for it this morning.

not too sure, as i was half asleep, but i may have been the first to 'wake up' at that particular time.

i like it though. using the journey clock with the little guy as the second hand.

Im considering a 3 month trial of this so i can play jet set radio on the Vita. The Sony website is dreadful, where can i see a list of the games that are currently free to download?

[bradigor]

Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Gravity Rush

Jet Set Radio

Pinball Arcade

With JSR and PA set to be replaced by Wipeout and Lumines at the end of Feb.

I wouldn't consider the 3 month deal, I'd just do it. £7.99 to play 6 good to excellent games. It's great value.

[Epcotman]

Wake-Up Club is so original! I got 2 trophies for disturbing people's slumber this morning!

The process for grabbing new PS+ stuff seems to have changed. Whereas previously, I had to do the whole add to cart, checkout thing, now everything just jumps straight to download. Which is less hassle, but if I only want to 'purchase' something and maybe download it at a later date, I can't.

Just me?

I've just complained about the same thing on the PSN thread. But apparently you can just cancel the download straight away and it still appears on your list .

[Quexex]

I just use the website, it's a quick and easy way to make sure you harvest all the plus content without filling up memory cards and hard drives.

[bradigor]

I tell you what, looking at the gameplay, it is a complete rip of the RedLynx game, but it looks like it works well on the Vita.

Now if only RedLynx could do something.

Weirdly that's the opposite of the ps3 which has now changed to let you purchase without download.

[Dudley]

Did you mean to type Vita there?

[Dandy_Sephy]

Nope.

Although going by another thread it's just changed! It was the case a few days ago though

[Yasawas]

I did notice when I downloaded Quantum Conundrum yesterday it's one button now to download PSN games rather than that daft "download the trial then a separate 6kb unlock file" they've been doing forever. One click and it started downloads for both.

[Yobo Ahoy]

What an odd top 10. EDF! EDF!

I've never actually looked at the PSN charts before. The presence of 'Uno' at the top of the PSP chart is quite funny, it'd be interesting to see how many people were willing to pay to hack their Vita.

[Dude Ranch]

Before I order from amazon, is £59.99 for a 32GB card more or less the best price I can expect?

[Dandy_Sephy]

I would have thought so.

£75 at shopto for comparison

[SweatyTravolta]

Still no word on a bigger card? My 32GB is full which is handy as it means I can't spend any money on more games I won't play. But if there was a new card...

[Dude Ranch]

I would have thought so.

Yeah, think I'll go for it. Cheers.

[MansizeRooster]

I refuse on general principle to spend that kind of money on a bit of flash memory. I was absolutely fucking gutted paying the price I did for the 16Gb one I have.

[bradigor]

I've started playing FFVII for the first time in 14 years, I forgot how good it is. One thing that frustrates me a bit though, it can be infuriating trying to play a game that has digital input only, I keep going for the analogue stick to move.

[Ryan]

It's crazy, a 64gig microSD costs around 45GBP.

Hopefully they'll announce a new revision with MicroSD on 2th

[Uncle Mike]

I still really resent the price and proprietary memory card bullshit. Stupid Sony. Other than that, I love my Vita.

[bradigor]

I sometimes wish we could see alternative timelines.

I want to see what would have happened with sales had Sony released all the cards at around half the price they currently are.

[NEG]

Theres a PSVita 1 year anni sale going on in the store. Extra discount for plus owners.

Tempted by golf, but it'll be free on plus in a month or two, I'm sure.

Wish disgaea was on the discount list. :/

[Smitty]

Question: where do you guys play your Vitas?

I'm always confused about handhelds when a lot of people seem to spend most of their time just playing them at home.

[Radish]

What's wrong with that? I play mine almost exclusively at home, it's a good alternative to PC gaming. I do want to buy a PS3 but I'm not in a position to for another few months - then I'll probably play both at home.

[Dandy_Sephy]

It's crazy, a 64gig microSD costs around 45GBP.

It does help when you are making millions of them every quarter and they are being well stocked in thousands of stores in each country. Not that I'm defending Sony, they are too expensive from a pure consumer standpoint but at the same time a simple price comparison like that isn't really as clear cut as that.

As a consumer obviously I would like either microSD or cheaper proprietary, but I always look at things both ways. So while Sony are clearly trying to maximise their profit margin (and they are a business so why not) I'm not sure how they could actually drop the price seriously without losing even more money. Of course, buying online helps a lot here in getting rid of the high street rrp.

Map control to the analogue stick by long pressing the screen?

[NEG]

Toilet, bed and multi-tasking whilst browsing the web (if feeling like playing).

Edit: Admittedly does feel wrong at say, the couch. But then theres fuck all I'm playing on console at the moment.
