Traded in my Xbox360 for $98 in Gamestop credit. Bring on Mortal Kombat, Resistance, and Gravity Rush!

You should make a thread about ... Blame it on the backlog you might have had on the 360.

lol, I did the same thing last week (along with some extra cables). Had about $110 in credit. Grew bored of the 360. It was the old, fat one so I also wanted to give myself an excuse to get a slim later, hehe.

I figure, with the 3DS and Vita (and PC), I have more than enough for my gaming needs.

Will be using that credit towards some of these summer releases.

My backlog on Xbox360 either transferred to PC when I rebought games for PC or disappeared when I sold off every last 360 game to help pay for the desktop.

Yeah, with a Vita, PS3, and recently built beast of a desktop PC, I'm good for a long time. I'm surprised I got as much as I did for a 1st gen white 360. Also scored a 16gb Vita memory card off Amazon's Warehouse Deals for $35. Gonna return my 8gb I bought for $29.99. I call that a win!

Oh my, the hori hard-case I ordered months ago finally arrived. The case looks great, works great - but absolutely stinks. I normally like that 'new plastic' smell but this thing smells of napalm and tobacco.

Anybody know a solution short of returning it? I had a quick google and it sounds like it's not just mine.

Haha. Sounds like the weight of the world is being lifted from some of these people's shoulders. I on the other hand still have that weight thanks to Steam. I'm sure the Vita will pitch in too once it has more games released.

Is it counterfeit? The Chinese knockoff Hori hard cases smell atrocious while the genuine Hori ones smell a little bit but absolutely nowhere near as offensive.

The real Hori hard case I use doesn't smell anymore, but the fake one I stuffed into a drawer still smells like factory and death.

Interesting, ordered from Amazon (amazon themselves, not a seller) - plus it looks pretty legit. Just stinks to high heaven. I'll return it and order another one from elsewhere.

It could also be a completely different product that we're talking about. =\

This is the one, just in case.

got one of these. Great case for a cheap price. Just cut off those stupid elastic band things and slap a sticker or something on the top of the case.

I mentioned it to someone and they said it would interfere with the rear touchpad.

My absolute favorite PSP case let me charge the system while it was inside, but the Hori one I use for my Vita is too deep to do that. Ugh... Looks like I'm going to buy this one, too. I keep buying cases for my handhelds wtf.

Facebook app has been updated. You can download it through its live area.
It's a pretty good update one of the new features is you can now upload pics from your vita to Facebook.

EDIT: the flickr app has been updated as well.

WTF? It covers the back touch?

I have the Nyko battery for the 3DS and it replaces the bottom cover of the device.

I currently having a love hate relationship with Treasures of Montezuma Blitz. Normally I do not put much time into these types of games. But the limited plays and leveling appeals to my love of grinding. The problem is the game gives so little and a getting a good run is nothing more than dumb luck.

A word of warning for anyone who downloads it. Do not spend your gems frivolously. They take forever to replenish. You do, however, have a daily scratch card to possibly win some and replenish. But, it's not enough.

I found that I get a lot more points if I just hit the hint button over and over, I just got over 200k doing that. I have the lightning gem and the cheapest totem.

My official Sony case from the first edition bundle smelled like rotting fish for like a day then it went away, it might just be the material or something.

I made the mistake of buying all the lower powers and burning through my gems. I like to use the one that destroys gems of the same color. Problem is it costs 150 per play and if I get an average of 15 back per play. The whole thing reminds me of a slot machine, its completely designed around trying to get the player to put in more money. But I can't see myself spending actual cash to buy gems or plays.

Yeah I burned through mine pretty quickly because I didn't know what they did lol the game just doesn't explain anything very well. I got lucky and got 15k gems with that scratch card game but see if you can find any near players around you that post the gems I've gotten a few hundred that way too.

The Hori hard case I bought from Walmart smells the same (red striping, opens vertically). And they sell other Hori accessories, so the smell is legit - lol. I just got used to it tbh.

I'm getting that damn router auto-connect error again where I have to force the connection in settings. Maybe it is the update, it worked perfectly with the first update, so it appears they broke it again.

Turn your vita vertical and it's pretty good. Physics feel off from the ps3 version though. But they aren't bad.... just different.


If you like pinball you'll like that game. It's designed for purists.

[naib]

Haven't tried it vertical yet but digging it. Love that Ripley's table.

I assume there's plans for Adams Family?

I had high hopes for verticle mode, but forcing tilt to the back touch when the d-pad is just sitting there doing nothing really sucks. I end up constantly tilting when I don't mean to, and when I do it doesn't seem to work right. The front-touch flippers work ok though.

The game would really benefit overall from more control options.

[naib]

The visibility is much better vertical. But i keep tilting on accident.

[branny]

Aww, the picture uploaded on Amazon by some customer made it seem that way. :(

[galactus_eat_world]

Anyone know if you can disable the touch controls in Ninja Gaiden? I keep hitting the screen and swithing to the damn camera.

well it can... but you need to force it... which probably won't be great for the cable.

Gamestop has the same pre-order bonus. I don't think this is retailer exclusive.

[lazybones18]

Well, that almost makes things a little better

Guess the reward zone certificates will just be used for the Vita itself lol

Thanks, noted! But does Gamestop also have a shady no tax collection policy in my state along with free release date shipping!?

wait does it means that all the previous jap dlc won't be included? or is this a new dlc?

WTF. I was about to buy this from PSN.

Sony what is wrong with you.

I was going to wait for Gravity Rush to come out before buying a Vita but I'm considering using my tax return money to buy one now. Are there any good deals on hardware bundles that I should know about?

Meh, I'm not really interested in any of those 3 games. Is anybody giving away gift certificates with a Vita purchase, or anything like that? I remember Target frequently gave away $25 gift cards with the 3DS before the price drop.

Tempting, but I have no need for the 3G model.

[RpgN]

Got a PS Vita, well more like received it as a lovely gift along with Uncharted, Everybody's Golf and Escape Plan.

So, I've been playing some demos from the Japanese store and 2 games stood out that were pretty fun but weren't received well on various review sites. They don't have an official thread here (or maybe I didn't search hard enough) and was wondering wether they're good games among fans. Finding them fun and thinking wether to get them, it would be a shame to get them and they end up being bad games.

What do you think of Sumioni and Shinobido 2? Are they worth getting?

[test_account]

Might be looking to getting a second Vita; how effective is the 3G model? Worth purchasing?

If you're usually carrying the Vita with you and want to upload highscores etc., then the 3G is nice to have. But if you mostly play it at home, then the 3G really isnt needed. I bought the 3G model at launch and i've used the 3G function maybe 4-5 times, mostly just to test it out. I dont regret buying it though, but i could manage fine with the WiFi-only model.
