WTF amazon B2G1 no longer has MVC3 and blazblue.

They sold out, however, they were offering to order and get them shipped later.

I think if there is one thing woefully under-prepared for this launch is the amount of Game units available. There are stores literally getting 2 copies of most games that aren't Uncharted Golden Abyss and 4-5 titles are completely absent. Even Amazon is having supply issues. Seriously no Target or Best Buy and maybe others in my area will have Rayman, BlazBlue, VT4, or Ninja Gaiden for tomorrow's launch and none of those stores even know if they will get them in at all this week or ever.

I don't know if this is retailers underestimating this launch or publishers not being able push enough copies out, but be prepared people when you go out tomorrow expecting to get a certain title because it may sell out or may not have even been there to begin with.

So does anyone know the deal with PS+ and Vita games? Will there be freebies/discounts?

It has been strongly hintedt that there will be (via twitter) but no confirmation on what/when/etc.

 

[Lord Error]

I like it. It's a bit slow paced, but it's a neat little game with beautiful art direction. There are so many other great Vita games at launched that I'm not surprised it was lost in the shuffle.

The game reminds me of "The Neverhood" in a lot of ways, if you're familiar with that game. It's a charming room by room puzzle adventure game that uses the system in a lot of strange ways.

Is the framerate solid now? I remember early demo skipped frames pretty visibly.

 

[TheExodu5]

Anyone confirm Ninja Gaiden's framerate?

 

[Magnalon]

So glad I accepted Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation during PSN Welcome Back package. Downloaded and transferred!

Same

 

[KillGore]

Anyone confirm Ninja Gaiden's framerate?

we will never know this

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Anyone confirm Ninja Gaiden's framerate?

Someone a few posts back said it was definitely over 30fps but can't tell if it's 60 or not. We need better eyes to judge them!

 

[MarshMellow96]

The more I see VT4.. Damn son.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Seems PSV is doing quite well. Now #2 in Amazon video game section:

i dont think so. i also have a 4GB memory card so this wont all fit, i need to get another one.

I got this email:

Edit: ok worked it out, theres a cancel symbol to the right. still cant see how much of my mem card usage ive used tho

I have never had Sony charge me for something after the fact. If you bought HSG with no money in your wallet, and no credit card attached you should've just gotten the game for free. Usually if you try that you get an error message of insufficient funds.

Are the AR games and Unit 13 demo coming with the PSN update tonight?

 

[mrklaw]

So glad I accepted Pursuit Force and Killzone Liberation during PSN Welcome Back package. Downloaded and transferred!

whats this? I have killzone, patapon and locoroco from the PSP go bonus (I think) but in my download list it says 'cannot be downloaded using a PS vita system' :/

I have a slightly obscure question for you guys.

So the primary account I use on my PS3 (and the one I'll be using on my Vita) is actually a guest account of my first PSN account. It's kind of a long story as to why things are this way (short version: I'm stupid) but it's got me a bit worried. What I'm wondering is, will I be able to add funds to my PSN (SEN, whatever) account from my Vita since I'm on a guest account? If not, do I have to do it from my PS3 every time I want to purchase something?

should be ok, but on your PS3, you need to go to your master account and give the ability to add funds to your sub-account

 

[dark10x]

Is the framerate solid now? I remember early demo skipped frames pretty visibly.

Yeah, it's solid (at least from what I've played). Only 30 fps but it is consistent.

Anyone confirm Ninja Gaiden's framerate?

I will look for the game today and potentially pick it up. I guess I'll have to take the plunge for the good of the forum.

 

[Magnalon]

Thanks for the responses. my problem with Rayman/UMVC3 is I have them both on PS3 and really don't want to double dip. I think my best bet is to just get a psn card.

Have you looked at Lumines? It's niche, but friends say it's the best game on the Vita.

Uncharted and Katamari are good too - but they're literally just projections of their main series iterations. Both good, but not as good, if that makes sense.

 

[Glip_Glop]

I wish they were releasing the Thrustmaster VIP or S.P.F case in the US.

http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=pd_dp_ts_vg_1

I've always wondered if Amazon can just put any new product they want in the top 5, to increase sales.

"Well the Vita must be doing well - it won't be a dud after all - I must buy it!"

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

The more I see VT4.. Damn son.

Perhaps this will seal the deal? Please stick with the guy lol

so stupid i didnt dl any PSP game during that Wback coz i didnt have psp...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

whats this? I'm sure I had killzone from PSPgo days, but it won't let me download it

Download on PS3. Transfer to Vita.

 

[PrimaNocta]

I need to stop coming into this thread! can't take it! DAMN U GAMESTOP for NOT doing a Midnight launch!!!!

1 more day!!!! argh!

 

[Baconsammy]

No FIFA anymore either because they're all out of stock.

 

[Phat Michael]

I deleted it off the list, i dont trust sony's online system at all. ive only purchased 1 game in my life (The Last Guy) and i cant get that on my vita for some reason. ive ordered golf on card off amazon anyway..

I usually get my stuff off XBL which is much easier to use. I really wish this thing came with inbuilt memory the thought of switching out my card every time really sucks.

 

[madmaxx350]

Quick question about changing accounts on the Vita.

I have to deactivate the system every time before I reset it, right?
Or does that only hold for my main account?

 

[mrklaw]

Download on PS3. Transfer to Vita.

says 'not downloadable from a PS3 system' :/

 

[Alchemy]

No FIFA anymore either because they're all out of stock.

Thank god I jumped on that right away. Got FIFA, BlazBlue, and Lumines. Not sure what I would have replaced the first two with.

Have to wait until after work tomorrow to pick up my Vita... going to be a long day.

nope. Only need to deactivate if you're selling it, to remove it from your account.

"Well the Vita must be doing well - it won't be a dud after all - I must buy it!"

Well it's certainly possible but just going by that list it seems fairly legit.

 

[cyberheater]

Are there any midnight launches for Vita in the UK and is anyone going?

 

[Wozzer]

Got my Vita today (day early in the UK, whoo!). Attempted to put the Barrierchief screen protector on and literally could not have done a poorer job. Wish I took a picture, as before I gave up it looked like I had sneezed under the protector it was that terrible.

Woe is me, I'll just look after it and make sure it's always in the VIP case... oh no wait, that just got delayed until March. Dammit.

The Last Guy is a PS3/PSN only game, iirc. You can't transfer anything you want. Only PSP, minis, and eventually PSOne classics.

 

[Sporran]

Any UK'ers having probs adding the top up via the vodafone website. Seems like its failing at the merchant part, always complaing about the CC no, tried 2 cards but same error.

EDIT: error has changed now saying a problem their end

 

[Gouty]

So how do PSP games look? Better? Worse? Grapefruit?

 

[Glip_Glop]

I need to stop coming into this thread! can't take it! DAMN U GAMESTOP for NOT doing a Midnight launch!!!!

I hear ya..Plus I have to wait for UPS to deliver, which they usually don't til around 5-6.

 

[Liamario]

Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

You sure you are on PS3? Everything on PSN should be downloadable on PS3 with the ability to transfer to PSP or Vita.

 

[injurai]

Okay so what is the time frame for seeing remote play open up on the vita? Its every ps3 game also... right?

Applying screen protectors to any device is always a task. Well getting it perfect rather.

 

[- J - D -]

Stopped by my local Target right around the corner from my home. No games stocked yet. wtf.

Gonna call a couple more nearby Target stores, see if they have anything.

 

[Item_Screen]

Are there demos for HSG, Lumines, and BlazBlue on the US store?

 

[Lord Error]

Yeah, it's solid (at least from what I've played). Only 30 fps but it is consistent.

That's great news! Thanks.

 

[beast786]

says 'not downloadable from a PS3 system' :/

Same for me. I (think) the welcome back games are not transferable.

 

[Pachimari]

Probably the last photography I'll do before launch:

I got a little bit romantic with it.

 

[MikeE21286]

So how do PSP games look? Better? Worse? Grapefruit?

Much better, but sometimes grapefruit.

Are there demos for HSG, Lumines, and BlazBlue on the US store?

Lumines yes, the other 2 I dont believe so.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Same for me. I (think) the welcome back games are not transferable.

They are. I just did. You can't download on a Vita but on PS3 you can.

 

[Trojita]

All my games shipped and will be here on time.

 

[The Elite]

Probably the last photography I'll do before launch:

I got a little bit romantic with it.

Where is this going?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Personally, I would either pick up HSG or some PSP games. The smoothest version of WipEout is on the PS3.

Alright, that pushes me pretty much towards HSG as I already have WipEout + Fury on my PS3 anyways. Originally I wanted FIFA but I'm not paying 50€ for a sports game. Thanks!

 

[Baconsammy]

Are there demos for HSG, Lumines, and BlazBlue on the US store?

Lumines for sure. No idea about the other 2.

 

[delta25]

Just got home began a update-athon with this baby

It kinda looks like the cat has a heath bar above it

 

[Mzo]

Augh, just got HSG in the mail.

Vita and the three B2G1 free games arrive tomorrow.

AUGH

Awww, this case is so cute~

AUGH
