This is probably a mistake but still its an interesting one, I really hope its true.
Call of Duty Ghosts on the Vita......

It's a mistake, they would have mentioned it by now and I'd be even more worried for the game I'd it actually is real and hasn't been mentioned.

ye i reckon it is a mistake, the only hint of a possible announcement is at Gamescom tomorrow or Tuesday, I think they said they will be making PS3 and Vita announcements as well as the release date of PS4

Correct for mine anyway. It tells you to download on 20th.

Me neither. Did someone say there's a beta for PS Plus users on Wednesday?

Yeah, it's open to all PS+ users from the 21st and then anyone from the 28th

I probably won't be able to play for most of tomorrow in any case, I might not even get it downloaded.

DeSelby83 · 19-08-2013 12:28pm

If you have PS+, you will be able to download the beta on Wednesday.

Animo · 19-08-2013 9:25pm

What are the chances of Sony announcing that PS Mobile is available in more countries at tomorrow's press conference?

Richard Dower · 19-08-2013 10:02pm

i still cant find any vita bundles online......

What game(s) are you looking for in the bundle?

Gamestop has one with MotoGP for E210, xtravision has black ops for E199.

Couldn't find much else though.

Richard Dower · 19-08-2013 10:27pm

vita mega pack.....or anything with any game + memory card. I think the COD bundle might be the best currently out.

F1ngers · 19-08-2013 10:50pm

They both have 4GB memory cards.
Black Ops isn't very good though - imo.

EDIT: They are both download codes - no re-sale value.

Klair88 · 20-08-2013 9:15am

Hi Guys, so it just dawned on me. I have a 16gb and 2 4gb cards. I only really use the 16gb card for my PS+ stuff and one 4Gb for PS1 Classic's. So i have a 4gb card spare that i really have no intention on using.

With the PS4 launch date and GamesCom today i'm in a pretty good mood!

So i would like to give my unused 4GB card away, but it has to be to someone who needs it. I don't want it to go to someone who has a large card already!

Not bothered with trying to sell it on adverts, rather just give it to some of the great folk i chat with in here.

Who wants it?

(I'll post it to whoever wants it)

Throws hat in ring, though I do have an 8gig card. That doesnt count as big does it?!
Thanks either way!

Fair Play Klair!

PM me your details and ill post it on to you tomorrow. I Love my Vita, Glad more people are playing it!

1 condition. Buy PS+. It is amazing. You won't regret it.

readyletsgo · 20-08-2013 12:08pm

So, I bit the bullet and bought a Vita Wi-fi with a memory card (8gb with the 10 games on it), it is second hand for £100, thanks Amazon market place

.
I have PS+ and have a few of the free psv games like Uncharted and unit 13 etc. One question I have for you guys though, can I charge the Vita via the Dualshock usb charger on my ps3 or does it have its own wall/usb charger? Just want as little wires coming out of my gaming centre as possible.

Also, what time is Sonys conference at Gamescom today? What do people think Sony will say about the Vita? Price cut? New games? New franchises? Price cut...? Bundles?

Any left of field games that are out already that I should have a look at?

No, the Vita does not use the Mini-USB port like the DS3. It comes with its own USB cable (with a different Vita-proprietary connection).

18:00.
Hopefully quite a bit. One or two new AAA games, a few indie titles, more details on its remote play functonality with the PS4 etc.
Also I don't think it will have TWO price cuts.

readyletsgo wrote: »

Play Guacamelee, Thomas Was Alone, Limbo, Hotline Miami, Gravity Rush, Velocity Ultra and make sure to check out the PSone and PSP titles you can also play on it.

readyletsgo · 20-08-2013 1:20pm

Thanks for the info! That extra price cut in my post was just a joke, just that its badly needed on the vita or at least the momery cards is all.

I didnt know Limbo could be played on the Vita, totes getting that! I got Castlevania for the PS1 on sale last month and Wipeout too. So thats sorted for ps1 for the moment.

Pity I cant charge off the DS3 usb but sure t'will be grand

Woop! Roll on 6pm!

DeSelby83 · 20-08-2013 1:35pm

Have you been purchasing the vita games on ps+ all along because Rayman is there and it's been my favourite vita game so far.
And killzone beta out tomorrow, cannot wait

readyletsgo · 20-08-2013 2:16pm

Yup! Added Rayman to my download list when it was on the PS+ free games last month.
If I like Rayman I might get it for the WiiU when Legends is out.

Not too much of a fan of Killzone but I'll look into getting that, whats the story with the Beta version? Is it just a short run through of an early demo?

Sorry, beta is new to me.

It's coming out in September so it's really just to make sure everything is in proper working order before the release.

DeSelby83 · 20-08-2013 2:37pm

there was a closed beta so im presuming this will be the same, its 2 maps and 2 game modes of the multiplayer section of the game

Niska · 20-08-2013 2:38pm

US getting a PS Vita Summer Select:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/19/ps-vita-summer-select-four-new-indies-get-ps-plus-discounts/

Basically 4 indie games with 20% off on the launch week.

August 20: Divekick, $10
August 27: Spelunky, $15
September 3: KickBeat, $10
September 10: Dragon Fantasy: Book II: $15

No need to worry if you don’t have a PS Vita because all four PS Vita Summer Select titles are Cross-Buy for PS Vita and PS3! PS Plus members can take advantage of the launch week discounts on both the PS Vita and PS3 versions of each game.

No news on whether it'll be replicated over here...

Animo · 20-08-2013 4:35pm

Just give me Spelunky already!

super_furry · 20-08-2013 4:37pm

Been playing a good bit of Spelunky on the 360 and I'm not sure if I should get it for the Vita. It's one thing to throw a joypad at the wall in frustration of those bloody floating ghosts, another entirely when it's the Vita.

Richard Dower · 20-08-2013 5:55pm

I *really* want a Vita now.....but it must be swanky new!

iMuse · 20-08-2013 6:13pm

Price cut by 100 Dollars http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2013/08/20/sony-leak-playstation-vita-price-cut/

heebusjeebus · 20-08-2013 6:27pm

Borderlands 2 coming to Vita. Chalk that down

tok9 · 20-08-2013 6:29pm

And Fez is still coming too.

Sephiroth_dude · 20-08-2013 6:29pm

Football manager coming too.

Varik · 20-08-2013 6:30pm

I think the cards price reduction is bigger news.

Otacon · 20-08-2013 6:30pm

Price cuts to the console and memory cards, as well as more games. Sorted.

Sephiroth_dude · 20-08-2013 6:35pm

Big fest looks cool.

tok9 · 20-08-2013 6:40pm

Would have liked to hear another title tbh but at least they are cutting the price.

Hopefully we'll hear more on the memory card price cut in particular.

Oooooh only tuning in now, this is the biggest one for me. Any idea on prices? I have a 16gb memory card and stopped buying games from PSN because I didn't have room.

super_furry · 20-08-2013 6:44pm

Rogue Legacy for Vita!!!!!!

This is bigger than the Xbox One and PS4 for me.

Just mentioned "significant" price reduction.

That has rose my interest something fierce, don't get your hopes up about Arkham Blackgate, read that its only 4 hours long(thats what 1 charge).
The Walking Dead is meant to be out in the US today also.

Link? I trust Armature to deliver tbh but we will see.

Richard Dower · 20-08-2013 7:38pm

Vita reducing to 199.99....and two *new* mega packs each from 6 - 10 games via download code + an 8GB memory card. Sony said they will also cut the price of memory cards but no numbers offered.

Loved the heavy focus on Vita, with these new announcements i want a Vita even more!

maquiladora · 20-08-2013 8:18pm

The Vita price cut is good and overdue. It's still missing a game that really makes me want the system though.

I'm enjoying Persona 4 right now but I agree. I basically use it for indie titles like Guacamelee, Hotline Miami etc.

tok9 · 20-08-2013 9:52pm

Some info on the price cuts.
