PS Vita anniversary Deals (NA) - Free games (Wild Arms, Patapon,...) and discounts

Holy shit. Seems stupid but... Can I download this to some account and transfer later to vita?

I don't have one yet, but THAT Wild Arms...

Why is it stupid? It's a Vita annersary sale and the free games are a bonus for current Vita owners. You want the games, buy a Vita. Nothing stupid about this promotion.

Pretty sure he was indicating that the question was stupid, not that the promotion was stupid.

Very cool, looking forward to them free games! I guess this makes up for me not getting $10
I'll still take it though

Oddworld Strangers Wrath is my target
Hope everyone pick Dokuro, cant believe it reached this price!

By far Dakuro
Hmm... Has anyone actually seen a sale price on Stranger's Wrath? I popped onto my Vita tonight and it's regular price in the store. :(

That free game deal is rather awesome. I have Patapon on UMD for my PSP, but don't have any of the others. I might spring for one or two of the discounted games, too.

Quite a few other nice free(mium) games on the store too, like Eclolibrium, Lemmings, Jetpack Joyride, etc. Great time to own a Vita.
 
I have to warn you that unless they have implemented changes, I thought that the multi-player for Pure Chess was a bit disappointing. I would have appreciated a more 'direct' form of having a match with someone, for instance a clocked one with 10 minutes each would be perfect for this type of game.

Definitely a good looking game though.

can you acces the store without memory card so i can add the free items to my us account and download them later without having to backup my MC when switching accounts?
such a pitty vita doesn't support more than one account.
 
It's nice to get free games but I wish they would have given away at least one actual Vita game for the anniversary.

Does the vita account system work the same as the ps3 eg. if I download Patapon with my USA account will I be able to play it on my regular UK account or would I always have to switch?

Any word in the uk will get a sale?

nope.
Vita allows one account at any one time
and each Vita memory card is attached to only one account.

you can still switch regions on your Vita.. but that would involve
(1) changing memory card
(2) reset system settings

if you have a US physical release, u can play on your UK vita still

Cool, thanks for the reply. Only Patapon interested me so it's not worth any sort of hassle, if it doesn't work that's fine. Thanks for letting me know though :)

Bought Super Stardust Delta and Escape Plan last night, will pick up Dokuro, Sine Mori, and Sumioni today.

Finally some use for my Vita. I had to dig out the charger, which it turns out I lost since I haven't used it in a while.
 
Buying a Vita tomorrow. I just realized I have we'll over 50 games on my PS3 that I will be be able to play on my Vita. That alone is worth the price.

Have the games which are meant to be free gone live yet? The blog post announcing the sale was posted on the 4th and it mentioned that the games would be free the following day. However, when I try to get the games they ask for payment???

The had their sale in early Feb. They didn't offer free games though.

ok I am confused, when is wild arms going to be free? 8:30a EST at the moment where I am.
The store never updates that early. AFAIK, the store team is based in the west coast so it's usually updated around 1 PM - 6 PM PST. Sometimes it's as early as 10 AM PST and sometimes it's around 11 PM PST. It's really inconsistent.

Ok thank you for the info. This is my first interaction with the PS Store.

how do i dl these? i am on my vita now and they all come up as costing money....

The store has not updated yet.
They'll be available on Wednesday, best to wait til then. Check Blog.us.playstation.com and when it shows the weekly update, you can get the free games.
 
From what I've noticed in the past, usually the store updates around 8 PM to 10 PM eastern, so that would be a good time to check on the free games being added.

I honestly don't know if I could play a chess game on my Vita...despite that interesting cheap price...

Would have considered SFxTKN but I already have the DLC...

Er-wut? What does the DLC for Street vs Juggle have to do with the Digital Distro (DD) game?

You wait until the store updates at GCT.

FFS this is the answer and has been the answer for 7 years now, how do people still not know this?
