***** PlayStation Vita Official Thread *****

The update is due soon so I guess I'll be looking to buy, anyone know of any spectacular deals? I have been looking at the usual places.

Also, I have a load of games from US PSN store that I am able to play on my UK account on Ps3 due to the way it works, does this mean Ill be able to play those on Vita when software update comes?

What games are you talking about exactly?

The Vita itself is region free, you can play a cart or downloaded game on it from any region you like.

HOWEVER, if it is a downloaded game, you can only play it on the account that it came from. EG, if you downloaded FF7 from the US PSN, you won't be able to play it on a Vita unless you are signed in to that account. And you can't have multiple accounts like you can on the PS3. Swapping over takes about 3 minutes and involves wiping your factory settings so things like network passwords and stuff all need typing in again.

In addition, if you bought a US cart and played it on a EU account, you won't be able to download any DLC for it, since the DLC is also region specific to the account.

Hi mate - Im a big fan of SS delta and have got some half decent scores - add me if you like - bigbilly37

Will do!

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with msg. I gave it a whirl last night and the controls are an absolute pain as well as the camera being a bit difficult at times too.

I've only been playing MGS3 though not tried MGS2 yet. fps seems a bit err well dodgy at times too... Still only paid 11quid for it.

Back to P3P ! lol
Not touched 3 yet but I'm playing through 2 at the moment and I would say the controls are dodgy almost to the point of being broken. Moving along the wall with your back to it, pretty much the core of MGS gameplay, I've so far found it impossible to consistently perform this action accurately. Framerate has been fine for the most part, the only notable exception would be the harrier battle where the fps dropped down into single figures, I'm honestly talking like 5 or 6 frames per second. Understandable given the amount of rockets I was sending his way, but still :p.

Also, I must have blocked from my memory just how bad the story and dialogue is, because they are both really, really bad. Not even funny bad either, more like how the hell was this ever seen as the pinnacle of anything, it's shockingly awful.

Hi,

Yes these are PS1 classics from US store as we didnt have some of them. What makes me sad is I can play them on my UK account as they download locally I guess so I don't have to be signed into my US psn account to play them on PS3.
Was really hoping I could play this way on Vita but maybe not :(

The PS3 can play content across accounts, you can't do that ont he Vita which is why you have the problem.

You can still play those games on any Vita, you just have to stay signed in on that account.

Any particular games? The EU have a big sale on Final Fantasy PS11 games at the moment if they were any of them.



Got 73.3 million in SSD Arcade. Died 3 times in total all on the last 2/3 levels. Really annoyed with 2 of them which were avoidable.

Shortly before my first death

IIRC, I had VII, VIII, Suikoden, Wild Arms, and Chrono Cross. Maybe I'll just play US games then or take the hit on the FF and rebuy them. Oh and Grandia.

Ooh yes, just looked at my account and noticed I bought some PSP games ages ago including: Disgaea, Mana Khemia, Vice City Stories, Harvest Moon, and a lot of other PS1 classics. tough choice, I'd quite like to just have one account and cut my losses on a few titles I think.
Thanks for the heads up.

PlayStation All Stars will be out on October 26th in the UK.

Pre Orders get a bunch of different costumes for each character.

PlayStation All-stars Battle Royale is a crossover brawler style fighting game featuring over 20 first, and third party characters famous from a range of game franchises. Each playable character has its own unique set of attacks and moves, and the game features 1-4 player multiplayer mash-up action, both online and in local play at home. Additional features include, tournaments, rivalries, an award system designed to encourage competition, full 1080p HD output (on PS3 obviously), a range of different PlayStation themed play environments, and full PlayStation trophy support.
 
According to the comments they'll let us know nearer the time. I expect some kind of bundle. In the US MLB 12 was $60 for the PS3 and $40 for the Vita, or you could get both for $80. That was at retail.
 
looking at getting a vita asap to replace my psp. is circa 150 a sensible price to pay for a used console?

going to sell my psp + 20 games asap to help fund it :)
 
Looking at some completed listing on ebay it looks like £150 can get you one and if you are lucky a couple of games too.

What has tipped you over the edge?
 
just fancy something different really. the vita looks a really good little unit. i have completed most of my games on the psp so seems like a good reason lol

+ the psp looks like it is still worth a few quid atm too
