So, ultimately, what's the deal with psmobile games?

Will I lose them if I even swap my memory card? It would be torrible to lose access to Super Crate Box(plus I still need to play a couple)
I just swapped memory cards it asks you an authentication it connects to internet and that's all I'm playing "Out of mind" right now. So yeah you might be able to swap memory cards I'll try other games just in case
Edit: I have a NA account, in some games the game prompt me with a message saying there is a new version of that game available I just select " yes " and the game boots with no problems.

Everyone with PS4 should go to PS Store and download Nioh Beta Demo right now, the game is awesome so don't miss the chance to try it out.

If the screen goes black on my TV but I still hear sound from my PS3, what could be the problem?
TV said something about unsupported signal. this happened just now while playing a DVD and have happened earlier as well.

No problem while using PS4.

I've had the PS3 connected to a different TV during summer and connected it recently to my usual TV.

Some setting I need to change or problem with the PS3, cable, receiver or TV?
My TV is a Sony Bravia KDL46EX500, PS3 connected through my reciever, a Onkyo TX-NR626 .

Hope everyone has been having a great weekend so far :D!

This week is going to be a great one for the Vita, with Claire: Extended Cut, Attack on Titan, God Eater 2: Rage Burst and more coming out! August has been a good month for the Vita.

September is coming soon and I hope for those of us going back to college, we have a great upcoming semester :).

Really looking forward to God Eater 2, and then Darkest Dungeon next month.

Just read a review of Attack on Titan- that sounds really interesting, I haven't read the comics or seen the programme but the gameplay looks nice. Do we know if it's getting an EU release on Vita, even if it's just digital only?

It should be already out on PS Store (€50)

So I bought a PSTV today from that amazing sale at Target. It's my first PS since the PS2 so I've missed out on bunch, but I mostly got it as a little retro box for PS1 and PSP games I missed out on. However I was really disappointed to find out that MGS1 and the HD collection aren't compatible. Any way to get around this? I have the latest firmware too now :/

Besides that, are there regular sales on PS1/PSP titles? I'm sure I'll be asking for some recommendations soon as I missed out on most of the PS1 library and the PSP entirely. Not really sure what good exclusives are available for the PS Vita either.

Whats everyone getting with their 20% off code from PSN Play? I'm really disappointed finding out its only good for a month. Won't work on preorders right? I know for sure I will probably get MUA bundle for PS4 and then will probably just time it with a good sale with something else I want. Was considering getting MUA bundle and Transformers FoC remaster but so many games coming out they would both just sit in backlog hell. Maybe MUA bundle and Attack on Titan vita.

Flash sales are usually pretty good for cheap PS1/PSP games. They sometimes have a themed sale which ends up in a lot of games being discounted! What games do you play? RPG, action, puzzle,etc?

Welcome to VitaGAF!

Man, Tuesday is a great day for the Vita. I haven't gotten around to buying Shiren yet and now I have Gods Eater 2 and Miku coming out! :(

Got around to finishing VLR. Loved it. Hope ZTD is just as good!
 
So.

A while ago I began going through my download list and making a list of Vita game download sizes (legit ones). I didn't get very far, but I put up a rough list that I've been poking at here and there. Just did a final revision and double-check of my download list and I've got everything I own; 167 titles, or roughly 16-17% of Vita games

http://thevitalounge.net/playstation-vita-digital-download-sizes/.

That's not enough for my taste, so I'm looking for some outside help from the community. ^_^

If you could be so kind as to post me (either via PM, Twitter, or reply) a screenshot of the size read-out of any game I don't have listed - in either your download list or in your download queue (via your notifications bar) - that would really help. All the sizes compiled so far are from the North American PSN, but I will accept sizes from other major regions as long as you specify which one (as they're not all the same). I'm also only taking sizes from the two locations I listed in bold, and with screenshots, as I want them to be accurate and verified as to best serve anyone who needs to know.

Thanks for your help in advance. :)

---

PS; Before anyone asks or attempts it, the PlayStation Store, your install size or content manager reading, and/or the webstore are not accurate places to check as all of them can be skewed due to errors. Your download list and download queue when listed on Vita are 100% accurate (as they don't seem to be entered data but instead a read of the actual file).

A big thanks to everyone that helped with this; I ended up getting quite a few PMs, DMs, and emails with screens. We're up around 47% of games with at least one size column filled in now, which is pretty awesome!

Thanks! I play quite a variety, but action adventure, RPGs, and platformers are my usual. Not into multi-player much so I usually stick to single player games. I'll definitely be getting around to the PS1 RPGs but time is limited so shorter games are definitely welcome. I also need to get VLR at some point, loved 999 but I heard it wasn't as good so never picked it up on 3DS.

Welcome to Vita Gaf! Hope you enjoy your stay and have fun gaming on the little handheld :).

Tuesday is a good day this week, as we are getting a lot of strong releases (Project Diva X, God Eater 2: Rage Burst, Claire: Extended Cut, ect).

Regarding sales, you have a lot of chances as PSN sales on Vita are quite common. Keep an eye out on the PS Blog & this thread, as when a sale goes live, someone on Gaf covers it :).

About the non-compatible games on the PS TV, you can enable the whitelist (turning it off) if you have an holder firmware and hack your Vita. Not sure how that works honestly, but look it up on online, as I'm sure a detailed how-to is online regarding this.

Hope you have a great day and that my post helps you out somewhat.
 
Everyone with PS4 should go to PS Store and download Nioh Beta Demo right now, the game is awesome so don't miss the chance to try it out.

You know a game is good whan you want to play a beta with >50% of the systems missing more than games you paid full price for

Nioh is gonna be awesome

Yea, it seems to be impossible to re-authenticate at this point. Which sucks, I successfully transferred my account/card to a new vita but lost access to all my psm stuff. tokyo jungle mobile being my biggest loss.

But that was an entirely new system, right?

Just sent you a DM on twitter regarding this. Reminded me of games I forgot that I owned XD! I am hopeful it helps you somehow :).

Sorry man, it has to be screens as the idea is that these numbers are verified. A lot of people have smaller lists up, but many are a hodge-podge of install sizes, download sizes, and readings from corrupt memory cards. The download list and the notification bar when you're actually downloading the game are the only two resources that are completely accurate as they read their sizes from the files on the server.

As stated, I need a screen to verify. Thanks for the thought, though!

Thanks, what region are you? I assume EU due to the Spanish names, unless that's not Spanish. :/



Well damn, I didn't think that'd be blocked.

Close enough, but there are not enough s and too many double consonants :p

You're welcome, and thanks for this work, it's very useful especially considering that the webstore never features the actual size of crossbuy games (and the Vita store doesn't feature filesizes at all :/ )

Haha, my bad.

No problem, always happy to help out the Vita community and download size is something everyone always seems to ask about.

Thanks! I'll probably wait for a sale until I get much use out of the thing. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a whitelist workaround yet for this firmware but maybe that will change.

Neither did i. It's kinda stupid.

I doubt it'll be able to hack past 3.60
That being it said though there's still plenty of things to play on it even with the whitelist being a thing

It looks like Sony is now making all new Vita releases reflect the current exchange rate in Canada. In June, God Eater Resurrection launched for $20 USD, and it was $20 CAD, even though $20 CAD =/= $20 USD in value. Now, God Eater 2: Rage Burst is $39.99 USD and $53.49 CAD, which is closer to the exchange rate. Fuck.

I can understand making the (few) retail games match parity with the (few) stores carrying them, but PSN-only games? Because of how difficult it is to switch accounts on Vita, no one was going to take advantage of that.

Man, it's been a while since I last posted here, I played nothing but Overwatch in the last few months. I didn't even start ZTD and I'm backlogged as hell, help.

Replace Overwatch with Paragon and that's been my last two months. Didn't help that NMS flopped. I think I will go back to Overwatch at least briefly with the new map + Sombra.

New discounts are up in the PS Store (BR at least).

many Vita games for 2, 3, 4 euros/dollars.

Is OlliOlli great? Worth having the first and the second? Only one of them?

Witness is on sale, 40% discount. Still a bit to much for me.
Invisible Inc is 50%

Yeah, not liking this shit at all. :/

Edit; Attack on Titan is $66 Canadian.... that's crazy as fuck. I could buy a PS4 physical version for that since a lot of the little stores near me still price physicals at $59.99.

I got OlliOlli 2 and that was it. I was interested in Republique but the game was released a few months ago so I guess we will get a bigger discount down the road. Same goes for invisible.
