Compared to this, especially the 50% PS Plus discount, I find it hard to call the things SCEE puts up sales at all. Case in point, Xillia is $10 vs 30.
pretty done

but I want the games from the US sale
and here I am complaining about the lack of anything on Vita to buy in that sale
was thinking MAYBE Sly 4 but I'm not really sure. I hated the minigames in Sly so much.
Touch my Katamari is fun, but it's clearly a launch game. Very short and lots of recycled maps, but at least those maps are good, the gameplay is fun as ever. Stretching and squeezing the katamari is a nice gameplay addition. The songs are OK as well.
There is a ton of DLC maps that can be unlocked in game (but you have to grind a lot) or spend money to unlock.

Really? I'd buy Peace Walker and double-dip on Spelunky in a heart-beat at those prices, maybe even buy Killzone. The PS+ prices are really good compared to what we're getting.

Wow, this week's sales are awesome! I feel like this is a PSN equivalent of a Steam sale. I will be picking up a ton of games:
PS3
Vita
All of that for only 44.49! Thank you based Sony!
PS3
- Puppeteer
- Tales of Xillia
Vita
- Killzone: Mercenary
- Lone Survivor: The Directors Cut PS (Cross Buy)
- METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER
- PIXELJUNK MONSTERS: ULTIMATE HD
- Thomas Was Alone (Cross Buy)
- Velocity Ultra Vita
All of that for only 44.49! Thank you based Sony!
Will have a Vita again tomorrow! Best friend is selling me his Vita, memory card (almost certainly 4GB), Call of Duty and Lego Batman 2 for $100. I think that's a fantastic deal. The games don't interest me, so I will put those up for sale, and I will need a bigger memory card, since I am going to go all digital and I have PS+. Should I go 8 or 16? Have a case, grip and Hori screen protectors on order. Excite!

Fair enough, but FYI they'll still cost more than US PSN =V
Why not just make a US account, grab some PSN codes off play asia or amazon and play away? Unless its for your Vita?

If you're going all digital, at least 32GB. I'd highly suggest 64GB though.
Of course it's for the Vita, this is the Vita thread! ;-)
Yep, and I'm starting to rage about that fucking memory card. I need to delete Gravity Rush for downloading Unit 13 demo (which I liked, I'm buying the game) but I've hit the limit. I didn't want to delete Gravity Rush T.T
I feel like joining that 64GB master race... but I can't spend 80 euros

68 plus shipping on nippon-yasan.
Looking at stuff on EU PSN (mostly because of the sale)
Valkyria Chronicles 2: Did that get to keep its combat system on the PSP? I don't want an FFT/Disgaea style game.
Tales of Graces f Knight Edition: Been crapped on a lot, is it worth 15?
Resistance Burning Skies: Is this worth picking up at a low price or should it be avoided at all costs?
Valhalla Knights 3: Same as Resistance.

Thanks!
I'm definitely getting Killzone at that price (9$), since I have 20$ in my PSN that were waiting for Broken Sword 5 to come to the US PSN and it doesn't seem to be coming.
Just beat FFX HD on my vita(it took me 43 hours according to my save file) and I have to say I didn't expect the game to pull me emotionally lol. I think I've enjoyed it more this time around, maybe it's the vita effect ^^
The game ran smoothly and looked awesome on the vita screen. Anyways, Tomorrow, I'll start X-2 and hopefully finish it this time around.

I'll answer only these two:
-VC2 is the same as VC1 but with different characters, some additions and smaller maps.
-VK3 imo is a heavily underrated game, veeeeeeeeeery far from perfection, but if you can overlook its faults it can be very addictive and it's a long game too(i'm 80 hours in, not counting a lot of unsaved progresses, and i haven't finished it yet)
That could be my birthday present in March
Do you like Tales of games in general? It's not a good entry point in the franchise due to shitty story and mediocre characters, but if you've already play other games and you enjoy the battle system they use, you should absolutely buy the game.
Is, like I said before, the best 3D combat in the entire series. If you can go through a cliche
(not good)

Nice, good to hear. Definitely give us your thoughts on X-2, I've only read impressions about X on Vita.
The PSN store will only update whenever Grace Chen is in the mood. aka 6-7PM CST
Glass Rebel
Member
Yeah, it's for my Vita. I was worried I might run into problems later with DLC compatibility across regions so I went with an EU account. Oh well.
Ah gotcha. Well, at least Sony got a blog for this. Really impressed how close to the people they are.
Graces has a really good battle system but that's about it. The dungeons, especially, are awful.
Worth playing for the battle system if you have a high tolerance for animu bullshit about friendship and garbage.

How does Peace Walker work on Vita? Can I transfer my save from the PSP version on my Vita to the PS3 HD collection? What happens to trophies? I'm assuming a trophy like "Clear Chapter 4" just won't unlock if you do it on Vita/PSP but if you earn 99 kills in the PSP version and get your 100th kill on PS3, does the 100 Kills trophy unlock on PS3?
VICTOLY!

All digital is more of a 32 or 64 import, I have a mix of cart and digital and my 32 is practically full, only 2 gb empty which will be filled with some of these sale games.
X-2 does it's job fine on the Vita.
It looks a bit washed out in some parts here and there but it's ok and probably won't bother many.

Grass is always greener, but usually SCEE blows SCEA out of the water. Welcome to the singular instance where it doesn't.
Pretty much. Better PS+, better overall management and customer interaction, better sales most of the time...
I had 0 interest until I saw Tomba! 2 in that list.
Is Tomba! 2 any good after the original?
Don't care. Sucks for you, but (1) it's 3DS and (2) it's an RPG series I have no interest in.
Grace Chen is the overall lead for the NA PSN store. You'll see things referencing GCT or Grace Chen Time, which is a reference to "when will the NA store update on Tuesday?"
Not sure how it's been lately, as I haven't been interested in most of the updates, so I've not been waiting on the store update to go live lately, but it used to range anywhere from 2pm EST to 11pm EST with some occasions on which the store just didn't update that week or whatever.
The patch is smaller now, but it's still at least 382mb, I think, if not north of 500mb.
So I'd guess it's around 4gb to have it digitally.
Yes, you can, but it's a pain in the ass.
You have to lock the save, then put it on a usb drive, then load it from there to your Vita, I think... it's definitely not an easy transfarring method there, but it is possible.
I haven't experimented on the trophies, but I do know that some things will count -- clear chapter 4 might clear, but the things like kill 3 soldiers with 1 grenade do not, from what I recall. The triggers for the story trophies are tied to what's unlocked on your save. Where as the combat specific ones trigger when the action happens on the PS3 version (live) and is not tied to any save data.
Google it, some people posted stuff about it previously, I know they did.

Anybody know when we might hear news of the next Vanillaware game? I think it's safe to say that it's coming to Sony systems after the success of Dragon's Crown. Are they still working on Muramasa DLC?
Not always, just this time and when it comes to PSone games
son.

Although I enjoy SMT (Nocturne, SJ) and their spinoffs (SH, DeSu, Purse Owner, etc) I really had no intention of getting SMTIV til I found out Ms. Hillis was in it.
.....then I lost my cart

Graces f is considered the best Tales game on PS3 gameplay wise. Story and characters are its weakest aspect so if you're in it for the gameplay, you'll be in for a treat.
For the sale, so far I'll be picking up:
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time ($6.75)
SPELUNKY ($3.75)
Do Square-Enix games ever go on sale? I need to turn my Vita into a FF machine.
I forgot there was such a place lol

^In 2013, US PSN did an FF sale around February or March IIRC, wait til then.
I think it should, I managed to get Psycho Mantis to recognize Suikoden and Castlevania save data on my Vita for example =)
There might be a little workaround you might need to pull off but there'll be a way.

You've been missing out. Git back on
so I can disappear too
Last year, SE by the grace of the goddess has blessed us with a mini FF sale.
mainline & tactics were about 5 bones and dissidia was 10 bux.
They might do that again when the western release of LR or X HD

Speaking of sales,
Do NISA ever do sales on their games?
Interested in buying Disgaea 1, 2, and Infinite and Z.H.P.

I don't recall ever seeing the FF7 - 9 PS1 games going on sale, but they've definitely did sales on Dissidia, Tactics, and all the other PSP games around the time when the Vita launched. Which reminds me... I still wish they'd bring Crisis Core and the PSP ports of FF1+2 to PSN.
Thanks guys!
So what score (out of 10) would you give that game anyway? If I do pick it up, I might send you a picture with a note on my copy saying "Happy Suppa?"

Young padawan, you missed ti last year. I got FF9 for $5, if it happens again I plan on getting FF6 and Chrono Trigger if they ever go on sale.
PSP FF1 and FF2 are avaialble on EU PSN but not US PSN.
US PSN has PSX FF1 and 2 which is closest to the NES ver. of the game.
TheCowboyPoet

Yeah I have the PS1 versions of FF1+2 but I always liked the way the PSP versions looked. Nitpicky, I know.
Tizoc

Nnnnnnnnnnnnot really, I want them on US PSN too =P I prob. have FF1 PSP on EU PSN, wish EU PSN would do a sale on some PSP games I'd get them if only for the ridiculous chance that Sony wise the fuck up and make the Vita multi account like the PS3 or PS4.
