Is Valkyria Chronicles 2 on UK and/or German PSN? If yes, how much? Does the game work on Vita?

I don't have my PS3 to check and their website is atrocious.

PS: Damn at dat Vita macro photography. Looks so much better than a PSP and those are already pretty awesome looking handhelds.

I remember thinking the same thing about some of the 360 launch titles. Of course Rayman Origins will hold up since its 2d, but I'm sure we will get to see some amazing advances for this system of the coming years.
The 360 launch was kind of different. I don't think there was anything particularly impressive being released for the system in 2005. Most of us were disappointed with the so called "next-gen" visuals. The system was proven to be MUCH more powerful over time, however, as developers got the hang of it.

The techniques they've learned over the years are being applied to Vita games now, however, so we're seeing mature 360/PS3 level games launching on Vita. I think they'll hold up just as those PSP games do.

I don't doubt they are going in with experience, but do you thing that we won't see a stark growth graphical capabilities?

It works on the Vita.. but has to be transferred from a PS3. The vita doesn't think it is compatible, so you won't see it through the vita store.

Anyone else extremely disappointed that you won't be able to play Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep or Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on the Vita?

I need some help regarding the UK pre order from amazon.
Now amazon keeps telling me that I can use the bundle offer which gives me a free 8GB memory card and a selected game for £15, but I realize that I have to enter some promo code for it and they only sent out the promo code to people who preordered before 31st Jan. If that's so then why does amazon still keeps telling me about the offer? Am I missing something?

Nah man, the issue is just marketing Gb (1,000,000,000) vs true computer Gb (1,073,741,824) when you format that 4Gb it will be around 3.72Gb

Yeah this pisses me off so much. It really should be a crime to pull shit like this. Most companies hold little consideration for the costumers and they have no idea what they are truly getting.
 
Nope, I don't care about those games. I'm pissed that I can't play Lumines 1/2 or Pangya (better than HSG) on Vita.

But all those games can be played on PSP's, yeah? You're right, though. I keep trying to stick these 5.25" floppies into my blu-ray drive on my computer but it just wont close. Meh, better to use it as a cupholder anyways.

Yes, I am. Incredibly retarded.

Promo code was sent to people who pre-ordered before Jan 31st, when the promo went live. All you need to do right now is click on Vita, it should take you to promo page, pick the system, 8GB card, and one game from the list there. At the checkout (last step before confirmation) the promo will be applied.

They're so high profile, you'd think they'd try to go back and get them on PSN.

Although maybe they're holding out for a PS3 Remaster.


Is there a reason we can't? Or is it just because they haven't been added yet? Seems like obvious choices to have there at launch.

They were never added to the PSN store when the games launch and haven't showed up since. Couldn't even play 'em on the PSP Go.

Can I ask how you setup your 3g? I bought a plan from AT&T but cannot connect to them. Do I need to have a different SIM card then the one that came with the system?

Open up the setup on the Vita until you get them 2 crazy long digits, stop there.

Go your PC and go to the att/buyasession area or URL given in the little pamphlet. Fill in all your stuff there. It worked the second try as the first failed due to a server error.

You handle the promo and everything through the site. If you really want to feel secure, talk to an operator from ATT while doing it. I had to have her show me where my free data pass promo would be. She even knew all about the free game and everything and this was on Wednesday so the operators/reps definitely were informed about the promo.

Yes mine has been working. I've used it in the GTA and in Ottawa (Airport and Hotel wifi) and it works fine.

Finally I'll be able to get Escape Plan and SSD when I get home. Picked up a $50 PSN card on lunch.

Grr grumble grumble.

Also - I haven't been able to get Near to detect my location.

Using Rogers in Courtice (Oshawa-ish) - nada
Tried tethering on Fido in Markham - can't detect location

It's not working for me either. But I'm in a sort of small town.

Would this work for Vita?

You mean the page?

Or the charger?

Vita has a specialized charger that has USB which can attach to the remainder of the AC power cord or with into any USB port. I'm sure they wanted to avoid using some kind of universal cord like the mini USB cords for PSP due to potential piracy. They are tightening down in some ways like this so it's good and will make things harder for a bit.
 
Any reviews yet of Ninja Gaiden? I need more info before deciding what I'm going to buy for my first game.

Read 3 by Game Informer, Games Radar and IGN. It's Ninja Gaiden. None said anything about framerate problems. Only problem they had with it was that it was Ninja Gaiden again.

Since I love NG it's day one for me.
