I understand that Vita games have a filesize limit and that's the reason they can't include all languages, but they could give us the option to download the version we want. Interestingly that is the case for some other regions. For example in the UK, you get 5 different versions in your download list, with all possible language combinations. But that is also seemingly only the case when you get the game through cross-buy, not when you buy it alone.

...no we don't, we just get the Eng/Fre/Dut edition.
 
Hey guys. Was playing Rymdkapsel on my PSV on plane this weekend and noticed a few spots where black background was not uniform. Is this my screen going bad? Should I consider selling my white PSV while the screen still is OK? I don't really understand the whole OLED issue.

It's the mura effect and it's normal on OLEDs. Nothing to worry about.

Full back-up/restore would probably be the best method if you want to keep everything, but it's extremely slow (~5 hours before I gave up and went to sleep). I personally decided to go step by step (first games, then photos, etc.), which made the process significantly faster (~2 hours). You should definitely use USB.

Do you lose your folder layouts and settings etc if you do it one by one though?

Well, if those spots were few and sparse no problem. OLED screen usually have that Mura Effect issue. Mine has a few points too and it's not noticeable until the screen goes black.

If it annoys you you could wait and sell it when the Vita 2000 arrives. LCD screens don't have that problem.

Day one purchase on 4 June?

I don't think so. Bargain bin at best. I have too many games to purchase for my PS3 / Vita to buy a dog game... even if my mother does not let me to bring another little puppy to our home :(

How many huge games did you guys manage to fit on your cards? I am also planning on joining the 64gb master race but I have to pay the two preorders of mine first.

I have about 80 native Vita games (no ps mobile either) on my 64GB card with 20+ GB to spare.

Thanks for comments on spots. Yes only noticed in dark plane with black screen so will keep for now.

Ubisoft HD games worthy of $5?
 
On my 32GB card I now have 9 digital retail Vita games, 21 smaller PSN games, 11 PS1 games, 2 PSP games and 3 PS Mobile games.
32GB might not be the "one" for me since I already filled my current 16gb with almost 10gb on my PC.

I assume most of that are indies? Those games really are a bundle of joy for my card since they only take a small chunk of space.

The Splinter Cell trilogy looks fine to me. Maybe because I seen the games in their original PS2 looks. Although someone who had a Xbox before might have a different opinion from mine since they had the superior versions of the games.
 
So I downloaded iFruit... I don't own GTA V, so I'm not sure why. Maybe if we all download it they'll port San Andreas and Bully.

Navigating the menus of PES is such a chore. And the terrible "Establishing Communication" waits do not help at all.

Is that the first time we've seen that outside of the US? Was always jealous of the US PSN offers like that? UK please!

Germany already had this twice.

65 Vita, 4 PSP and 8 PSM games with 1.4 GB of free space and some music.

Play-Asia have Dragon Crown for PS VITA at 25.99 dollars, which is 18.80€! Already bought mine, and even for europe the postage is free :D

The only downside is that it might take up to 15 days to arrive, but for the price it is the best deal around :)

Can someone tell me why I can't see April PS+ games on my Vita? (US)
It's still the March games and even if I go to the Velocity Ultra page it's stil $7.99.

Do I have to subscribe again or something? It's still my first month and I only subscribed for that.

Also, is there someone here who have played Z.H.P Unlosing Ranger? I'm tempted but I'd like some advice :p

Vita games doesn't become available until the 3rd week of the month. The only thing released on PS+ for the month of April is Mercenary Kings for PS4.

Z.H.P. is a very good SRPG. It's fun, quirky and very comedic but is also a very solid game. I recommend it if you love Disgaea games.

Always impressed by the terrible PSN download speeds. Would download again

and again

and again

I feel like I'm one of the few people who doesn't have horrible download speeds on PSN. I downloaded Shin Megami and Arkham City last night in just a few hours.

I have Time Warner, 20mbps, so it's not like it's lightning fast, but a gig tends to download for me in about 30 minutes.

Same here, My speeds are pretty solid on Ps3 through a wireless connection.

100mbps (around 115 usually) and shit takes ages. MotoGP which is around 1.5GB takes over 100minutes.

Off the top of my head, the following are worth getting:
Beyond good and evil
Rayman 3 HD
Outland
Might and Magic CoH
Gunslinger

The PoP HD games aren't well ported IIRC.
Forget the rest.
 
Gosh, was really looking forward to playing Thieves in Time until I realised I need 19 GB + 19 GB for it to even download. It's somehow even bigger than GTAV. I jsut can't seem to make that much space on my PS3 unless I delete everything, like, only thing left to delete is Dark Souls 2. Too bad then ):

Seriously though, how is Thieves in Time four times bigger than Dark Souls 2 even?

7pm, still can't buy DW8.

I can't understand why Sony seem utterly incapable of setting a time for store updates and then adhering to it.

Anyone know what time Trials Fusion will be released digitally?

It comes out on the 16th, a Wednesday. So will it be up at 12:01 AM on the 16th, or will it be a random time like the tuesday updates?
