I haven't. But if it's anything like other 'refurbished' GameStop memory cards/hard drives, there's a chance that you'll find... undesirable things on it.

Nailed it, holy hell transfer speeds are atrocious, I have a 32 gb, and have a mix of digital and retail.
Have Tearaway and Ys on special edition preorder.
Edit: Just noticed I had thread create privileges now and am extremely nervous using my phone to post now haha.

In this case, I vote for the last option.
I don't know if the soundtrack is any good, but a lot of times, I don't listen to game soundtracks on their own. It has to be realllllly good. The LBP items, well, I'm sure you can figure out why those hold no interest from where I'm sitting. I don't think you really need to rush out and get a pre-order in this case.
In the case of some other games where they give you some DLC that you actually want to use for free? That's a plus for me and if you're going to buy near launch anyway, there's no reason not to then.
I don't know where I need to preorder to get the pack with the soundtrack, and that's pissing me off. If those pre-order packs are exclusive for GAME and GameStop, they can keep it. Those guys seriously overprice everything here. I only go there to look for second hand items.

Uh, you can back up to PS3s and PCs over wi-fi...full memory card backups or individual games...I can somewhat agree with the rest but come on, it's not as bad as you insinuate.

Whoever recommended Super Stardust Delta, screw you. I missed my stop on the metro and ended up in some weird part of Tokyo
What? Playing PDf in public is the best part of the game!

ROFL, you're welcome.
It probably wasn't me, but I do recommend that game to people.

I like how VLR let's you jump in the flowchart and will only enable skip if it's dialogue you've already read. Good practices for a game like this.

Man I gotta re download Super Stardust Delta to prepare for Resogun.
Are you going physical? Because the soundtrack is available as a part of the EU PSN pre-order option if digital is an option for you.
Also, I asked them on Twitter and they said that the soundtrack is going to be released separately at some point.
What a shame.
As it should be
Don't we have PS4 preorders when EU doesn't? Odd how the roles reverse depending on platform.
Save your money and buy used. If you can find one locally, you can apply all sorts of discounts (birthday coupon, b2g1, PUR Pro discount on preowned).
SCEA has no love for the Vita :/
hmm I'm looking forward to the PS4 coming to Singapore hehehe

I would have bought a physical copy, even at the absurd price... I think the sense of completionist collecting would have lead me to overpay even more for Angry Birds Star Wars and bother to buy that physical release too.
I really love that they're probably blaming the Vita platform and not the price.

im REALLY rusty, but does anyone want to play Hot Shots Golf tonight?
It did sell 1m+ on other platforms
I'd guess average age difference, not a ton of kids with Vitas.
Awesome. Might consider it at 69p.

If they drop the price to sub-$1 I want my $40 back.
It's pennies on other platforms. For better or for worse, games like that have their value set on the app store so it's nice to see that trying to fuck people over as much as they have has been met with the right response. I could have forgiven maybe up to £10 (assuming you get at least some content that is IAP on the iOS versions), but £32? Fuck that noise.It did sell 1m+ on other platforms

At least 27 euro purchases, for shame. Awesome if that's the total number though.I even doubt that someone actually bought Angry Birds for the Vita... I mean, Killzone Mercenary is 10euros cheaper then this... lol
If you are craving angry birds, check out the castlestorm trial imo. Infinitely better game, but similar in ways and even more satisfying (bit more demanding too).
Lol, thanks - let me know if you hate it, I'd be surprised though. Controls take some adjusting as it does ask you to do quite a bit, but once you've got the hang of it the game is great fun, for me anyway. Finished the whole campaign in 2 days, usually takes me about a year to finish a game usually. Last exceptions were guacamelee and hotline miami. It's not a must have though, like (I think) nampad said, but if you think it might be fun for you definitely download the trial! I jumped straight into the full game (after watching BM's video) but it should give a decent idea.
You don't even have to bother with the making your own castle if you don't want, they have ones you can choose, designed for the campaign but by the end you'll want to tweak things. Difficulty ramps up a little near the end (I played on normal and I'm planning to go back and get the rest of the stars on hard to prepare for multi). Did all the trophies except for all the campaign stars as well, although it didn't take much and there is no platinum.

im going to download the trial tonight because of your incessant raving
Trilogy specifically, for 3DS/360/PS3. Just as much a ripoff, $40.
The freebie versions are nearing 2billion downloads, apparently.
I'm having the same issue

SCEA hates Vita.
SCEE will fix that when PS4 releases there.
SCEA won't add Vita pre-orders anytime soon.
NAILED IT.
I should do this -- it looked interesting and I got my credit back from the spent $50 promo.
Thanks, that worked! Why don't they just prompt you to accept the new ToS on the Vita itself?

have people run in to that "preparing to download" glitch since FW 3.0?
Thanks panicked for a second
There was a recent thread about it here where I saw the fix, no clue why they haven't done it on Vita yet...hopefully they're working on it but yeah that does the job. Might have something to do with the new 2000 friend limit activation? I didn't read the TOS of course
Haven't read a single complaint yet...I might have missed some posts though...

Picked up Super Stardust in the sale and wow it feels good.
NOPE and all of the Crash/Spyro games don't work on the Vita
EDIT: Oh, you're talking about CTTR, not CTR

Hey now -- don't scare people away from the 32gb I have for sale!
I'm much cleaner and nicer than GS, though.
I thought the Crash PSP games might?
Let's consult the CAG list.
Mind over Mutant works.
It seems to have untested for Crash of the Titans.
It claims Crash Tag Team Racing was pulled from the store... gamefaqs claims it's PS3 transferrable.

Overall i enjoyed the trial of castle storm. Will prolly bite down the line... Too mch on my plate now. Levels Seemed a littled slow. Wasnt using the tri-stones on the castle for half the level though. The left stick is too sensitive and the dpad has a slow start to its movement, but overall its doable. Def enjoyable - esp if youve played sword and soldiers on wiiware.
Anyone play Dragon's Crown with friends using ad hoc?
I keep getting disconnected during chaining runs after the most recent update, and can't find anything on what could be causing it. Very frustrating.
Has anybody else experienced this or something similar, and have you solved it?

Whoa. What in the holy hell is going on in this game?!
VLR is full of some seriously effed up stuff. Is it going to make some sort of coherent sense by the time I get the platinum?

just really weary of used memory cards.
the other week i convinced a friend to get a vita. he got one. but he got a used 32GB from gstop. now all of his downloaded games kept crashing on it. to make sure it wasn't just him, we tested it out on my vita. and my downloaded stuff kept crashing. then I tested out a spare unopened 32GB I had laying around and it had no issues whatsoever.
gstop really needs to test them out. all they ask you when you trade in a vita memory card is "yo you deleted your stuff right?"
