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

its a bit frustrating when ps+ releases games you already have them, I have both the games this month, annoyingly bought lumines last month, still i prefer to have them on my memory card rather than the annoying cartridges.

I wonder how this has affected sales. With the PS4 I will be getting no games and just using the PS+ subscription, as I don't want to buy a game that comes up on PS+ for free.

Me too, but on the flip side I will be going PS4 rather than xbox.

As for sales, because of playstation plus ive bought quite a bit more than i would normally with the ps+ discount, its been a big factor in me switching over to playstation after being a pretty happy xbox gamer. I think though with the bigger consoles there is so much content that you are less likely to get duplicates while on the vita because the catalogue is much smaller and they are putting out pretty decent games on it there is a higher chance you will have it but i have stopped completely buying retail games for the vita now, only downloadable or discounted stuff, the 1 year sale I spent about £30 on.
 
It makes the PS4 the perfect second console for me. I won't be fussed about playing the new releases and I get a constant stream of "free" games.
 
Really like the look of these consoles how are they to hold. The buttons seem real close to the edge and my hand use to cramp a bit holding a ds lite. :)
 
games are region free, however any DLC is locked to the region of the game.

example: UK game you can only use a UK PSN account to purchase DLC for said game.
If you have a USA game you can only purchase DLC using a USA account.

If you do find you're experiencing cramp you can get a grip off ebay for about £3 which will elimate that.
 
Ahh cheers guys, really thinking about picking this up :) whats the best games to get at the start? Uncharted looks good and so does wipeout?

Old playstation games look pretty good on it too, Final Fantasy 7 doesnt give me eye ache like the ps3 version.

Ah, true - I have the first couple of Oddworld games from PS1 days and they look good.....even have International Track & Field (PS1) - which never has looked good ! :D
