So I wasn't the only one that thought the miiverse looked a bit like Vita live areas... Being able to make comments instead of just commenting on trophies and stuuf would be awesome.

How often do games rotate on PS+? I wonder how many PSP games will be offered...

Trophies gotten on the go with the Vita keep the date and timestamp on them even if you're not connected online? Coming from the 360 this is great as I just like having them as opposed to offline gotten 360 achievements that don't have them.
Also I went ahead and added a few more people from a few pages back. Having a bustling Steam friends list is fun and I'd like it for the Vita. Beast-Legacy is mine, add me.

Yes, the same it is on PS3.
Their should be a tab for Friends and General Community
You could post messages and pictures on each

I've basically given my PS3 to be my family's Blu-Ray player and I play on 360 and PC mainly so it was a nice surprise.
Yes, it is. Patches and Online Passes as well.
DLC from the NA store will not work with that game from other regions... it's not so much it's region locked as those are completely different games. As far as the system is concerned dynasty warrior next NA and dynasty warriors Next EU are as different as dynasty warriors next NA and little kings story NA
For digital games, it's locked to the region of your PSN account.
For instance, if you buy games from the US PSN store, you have to buy US DLC. DLC bought from a different store won't work.
I'm not sure about physical retail games - I think the DLC might be tied to the region of the game, but not sure.
Even if it wasn't, the trouble is that you wouldn't be able to access it since you have to use separate cards for different accounts.

Monster!
I don't think it does.
Every month, I think 3 games rotate.
US should get new games next Tuesday.
EU already announced their entire December offering and they're getting 3 games (MK and two new releases).
yup it's 3 games a month at min that we get/lose, and NA should get a game next tuesday, all we know for sure is we are losing resident evil 5 gold.

Wait MK as in Mortal Kombat? Sweet.
Patches aren't region locked, i was able to update my copy of DJMax

Do these memory cards ever go on sale, or is there a cheaper place to pick them up?
$56 for a 16GB is a little ridiculous.

Couple of questions for my fellow Vita Bros:
1) I know you need a separate memory card for each foreign account. I don't need a separate one if I just want to play JPN physical retail releases on my US account right?
2) If I go on the JPN PSN and download a game, can I still play it on my US account so that any trophies I get will be attributed to my US account, like I can do on my PS3?

Wait, so my US account can't play physical game cards from other regions on the Vita? I'd need a seperate account?

I agree the Wii U stuff reminded me of how the Vita's live areas are. They really need to expand upon them, make it feel more like a community. They're taking steps in the right direction but they need to go further
Also, where is that tweet? :O

I got it to play MGS4 (it's the PS2 backwards compatible one) as I loved Metal Gear and needed to see the story through. But all my friends were on different platforms this gen even though we were all PS1 and PS2 guys before.
Getting back into Playstation stuff like playing All-Stars and anticipating getting my P4G tomorrow has felt like having lunch with an ex. I haven't seen her for a while now but it's cool catching up.
No you're fine, I was just thinking about exclusive games. I wasn't imagining you trying to get DLC from one store for a different region retail game.
In that case it's a crapshoot, on PS3 some DLC will work with any region game and some won't. You just never know.

Can I transfer stuff from my Euro account downloaded on my ps3 to my US account vita and play it with my US account?
Ok thanks. I'm still thinking about getting New Little King Story and noticed there was DLC for it the other day. Found the physicall Asian version $5 more than what it is selling for in the US PSN store. Trying to weigh my options if I have any.

At that price, you should just pony up the $24 extra to get a 32gb.
Excellent idea!
But that would definitely compete with my GAF time....I would have to make an exception for this thread of course.
So you can play physical releases from other regions on your main, domestic account, but not digital releases, is that right?
Or one tab for Activities, one for Community like I mentioned, BUT have filters. So you could filter activities by trophies activities only or something, and in community, you could have filters like "Friends only", "Friends of Friends", "Region", etc. OH MAN. This would be so cool.

Definitely. I used Twitlonger for my tweet, lol. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/k5sl9p
Yes. Online passes and DLC wont work though.
For that reason I have Rayman in my cardslot and not, say, LBP.

Quick question!
When is the last day I can activate my PS+ and get those Vita games? 11/30?
Do I have to download them on my Vita, or can I download with my PS3 and transfer those games?
I don't want to use my Vita until I get my screen protector on, and I won't have time to fiddle with that until the weekend. Thanks!

I'm not sure about the last day to activate. As far as getting stuff on the Vita, you just have to go through the purchase process (which can be done on the PS3). You can download later.

It's going to take over 90 minutes to download the Sine Mora demo. Neat!

So how long before the next wave of high profile games ? The library is great so far. But can't help but wonder what next big games are coming to the vita. There are a lot of indie games coming but wheres GTA ? Final Fantasy X HD

Edit: whoops, missed that you're asking specifically about the plus games
You can just checkout with them via the PS3..dont even need to download them yet if you dont want. Then when you do boot up with your Vita finally, you can download them anytime you want.
You should have well past 11/30 to do it though. I dont think the Vita content is going to update until the third week of December or so.

The time is rarely accurate.
Is it just me or does stuff download faster on the Vita vs PS3?

It's not just you.
Download speeds on the PS3 are capped, I think. NFS:MW demo took like four hours.
The DLC for that game is all fluff anyway.
Nothing substantial like story missions.

Not for me on AUS PSN. I've estimated that on vita I get 500kb/s, while on ps3 1.5MB/s.
Good to know, thanks.
