Thank you. Now are there any specific in store deals I should be aware of before I head out? Target has Uncharted for 39 so I may go there unless the system is on sale elsewhere.

I'm not sure, to be honest. I went for the GameStop deal because it included a free media-stand case and Wipeout.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I actually found the exact kind of pouch/sleeve I'm looking for, all nice and official, but apparently it's an accessory that's only sold in Japan as of now. (huge picture)

I might just order one of those couple-buck knockoff ones. Can't find any way to get my hands on one of these.
I have that very case. Isn't this it?

Nice. That is almost exactly what I got. Vita + Modnation + Uncharted for $240. No memory card but all three items were sealed.

In case you don't like Modnation, BestBuy is giving $16 for TIV. Go on one of their 50% bonus TIV days and you get $24 for it towards another game.
Thanks! I will see what to do with Modnation. I really just want to be able to play PSOne Classics on this thing right now. Mostly for the FF games.

I'm dying to play a MGS and the wait for the HD Collection is killing me so I'm thinking about downloading Peace Walker. Will playing it before 2 and 3 ruin anything for me story wise?

Congrats. It's just you.

Nope, my friends list is fine too.

My wireless network adapter (on PC) randomly died. That led me to find out that Content Manager will only transfer files to Vita if it can connect to the internet. Wow...that's ridiculous.

There's a patch for that for an older version of CMA but I don't know if it still works or has been updated or not. Open CMA

Bonus Round Pachter just said he knows of a Big unannounced title for the Vita that he's really excited about
Based on what I know of Pachter it's either something he personally enjoys playing or it's a big franchise with the potential to sell a lot.

So it's either a game like Fallout (which he loved), Gran Turismo which always sells well or something crazy like GTA: Episodes

To be fair, he couldn't exactly say "Yup! We were going to announce it at E3, but fuck it!"
But he could ignore the question just like you do hundreds of times every day if you're a game developer.

Its on play asia. Someone already posted the link a few pages back when you asked.

I ended up grabbing Disgaea over Wipeout. When I first booted it up I thought it might of been a mistake (animu bullshit & stupid dialogue) but it's really a lot of fun and perfect for pick up & play. Hopefully Gravity Daze will be under $36 on PSN because that's all I have left in my wallet!

So guys, I've never been able to get remote play to work when connecting on a network outside my home, it only works inside my own private network. I set my PS3 to be "on" at all times, but it seems worthless when I can't even log in outside my network. I've tried it in a couple of network and no luck yet. Am I alone in this? what am I doing wrong?

I have the opposite problem. I can be 10ft away from my PS3 and it won't "connect via private network" I have to use the "connect via internet" option.
 
it is quite odd how everything Sony does for vita seems to lack... consistency? It's like their left hand does not talk to their right hand or their penis or w/e.

Trying to figure out which psp game works on which region and which ones appear on store or ps3 or w/e is quite a task...

I totally agree. It's just really weird that they would launch a system but treat it so haphazardly. The system itself has exceeded my expectations, but Sony's handling of it so far is really odd. It's not like they haven't done this before, but they're acting kinda clueless.

I blame psn hack + psp piracy stuff. Usually stuff are designed for functionality over design or vice versa, but everything about vita seems to be designed to fight piracy over design or functionality or convenience or anything.

Shame because all their hardware are solid.

I never got hand cramps from psp or vita (outside of 1 long play session of SSD), while I have had handcramps for all nintendo handhelds since they started making rectangle ones again (GBA SP?).

Why the fuck is Soul Caliber on psp still $40!?!?!?

Lol who in their right mind would pay $40 for that game now?

I can't help but think that some of these publishers think that since their is no other game from their franchise currently on the Vita that people will be willing to pay these exorbitantly high prices for old PSP games just to have a game from that series on their new hardware.

I want some drops big time on PSP stuff. The only company that seems to be pricing these right is surprisingly Capcom.

$275? That's a bit generous for what you're selling. You should ask for nothing less than $300. Especially if that's a 3G/WiFi Vita. The memory cards and games alone would be $140.42 new and around $95.63 used on Amazon.
 
So, Patcher's revelation got me really excited about Vita this E3. Looking back at this thread, it's interesting how many games people wished for (PSO2, MvC3, Rayman Origins, Disgaea 3) eventually got announced.

Hoping it's a new Sims game, molded to perfection to take advantage of the network and touch features. Sims Online deserves another chance.

I recall pac mentioning that his favorite games of last year were like castleville and skyrim.

Square has been pretty good too. I hate KH and thought Crisis Core was awful so those games absences don't bother me, and the pricing on FF stuff is pretty good. I wanna pick up Dissidia 012 but I've got too much stuff on my plate.
 
Tekken is $40 too!! Wtf is wrong with them?

I know... I fuckin know.... I played the hell outa T6 on PSP since I rode the bus so much but I have the UMD version...

I have Tekken 3DS as well, but it's kinda shit compared to 6.

Lower the price please bamco :(


The idea of a Skyrim type game on Vita would make me smile... makes me a bit sad the PSP Oblivion game didnt happen though it might have sucked

He just said Sony has a big unannounced title for Vita

So typical analyst stuff as per usual from him then, of course Sony will have some big Vita title to announce, lol.

I haven't played any RPGs on the Vita yet, but having a game like Skyrim that since Christmas has sucked away like 300 hours of my life, I can't imagine the number of recharges a title in the same vein would go through on the Vita, lol.
 
I've heard the latter. After playing the ps3 demo I'd have to agree. Especially for the price. I hear Tales of a Space blob is good though.

Thanks, I'll check that one out. I recognize that a lot of Vita games out right now are good but nothing but Uncharted has REALLY appealed to me so far. Looking forward to Soul Sacrifice though. Will probably try Resistance and Gravity Daze as well. But in the mean time something like that might be nice.

If you haven't already, pick up Super Stardust Delta (make sure it's the bundle!). Very addictive and it looks wonderful on the Vita display.
