85 games coming on Vita this year was a nice E3 announcement no? Dragons Crown, Destiny of Spirits, Killzone, Tearaway and Walking Dead are all enough to get excited about.

Well then...where's our Dragon's Crown EU release date?

That_Guy · 13-06-2013 10:26PM

The Walking Dead bundle coming in August and the ever growing collection of games with PS+ is making the Vita a must buy for me. Like the idea of them integrating it with the PS4.

Damn you Sony and your stupidly good marketing.

Just got a new Vita yesterday. I've got Soul Sacrifice, Ridge Racer, Uncharted, Dungeon Hunters, Wipeout, Sonic and Sega All Stars racing, Gravity Rush, and Fifa & 1 year PS Plus (I'm an Xbox gamer considering making the switch).

It's a pretty expensive affair. 8GB memory card is full already. Screen quality isn't great after using an iPhone 5 for so long, pixels are very noticeable. Battery life isn't great either I find so far, but need to give it a few more days..

Edit: Today after a proper charge the battery seems good.

Vita uses an OLED screen and it's beautiful IMO.

The vita is beautiful. Games like uncharted and stuff do show it off well :pac:

Wow, that is good. I thought Amazon was good with just a Vita WiFi for €210 including free delivery.

Shop round on adverts a bit, get one for peanuts.

Turtle Beach Vita ear buds down from €46.99 to €12.99 in Argos, in stock or can be ordered everywhere. http://checkargos.com/StockCheckPage.php?productId=9104990

Note, I have no idea if these are good value but at a near 75% price drop they maybe worth a shot.

So Unit 13 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for the Vita on PS Plus this July. Between Unit 13 and Rayman, that's 2 months in a row where games I've bought have been on PS Plus. It'd put you off buying games…

€30 to €35 depending on the shop.

Varik · 19-06-2013 05:16PM

So the Vita version of The Jak & Daxter Trilogy is out (on 21st for UK & Ireland) and is cross buy, if you get the PS3 version you get the Vita version.

It's retroactive so if you got it before the Vita version came out you still get it but it's only for those who bought off PSN
, there might be a code in the retail Vita version I don't know.

Good lad!....bought these this morning in Argos, last one in the store. For 13 squid they are lush!, been wearing them for several hours listening to music on Grooveshark and they are very comfortable!

Dont hurt the ears at all, and the over-the-ear design is grand, holds the buds more firmly in place and if you snag the cord they dont go flying. The cord is not rubber!....its like fabric, much stronger. The mic is in the perfect position for either a mobile phone or Vita, has a mute/answer call button.

Well pleased, big upgrade to the crappy mono headset you get with the PS4.....thats why i bought them, perfect for the PS4.

Sound wise, pretty good....i'd say they be considered flat/neutral....as in not bass heavy or high on the high end...while they'll never compete with high end earbuds like Sennheiser they are grand for everyday non audiophile usage.

Certainly for games they are pefect and a great price!

DrEvil · 21-06-2013 11:02AM

I bought the headphones yesterday, they've good sound out of em. I also noticed there's another pair of Turtle Beach cup earphones in Argos on sale. Reduced from €39.99 to €12.99

I started soul sacrifice last night,good game once you get the hang of it,I'm just starting chapter 6.

Josey Wales · 22-06-2013 12:58PM

I'm considering getting a PS Vita with the Mega Pack bundle and 8GB card. Just wondering how far an 8GB card will go. Will the card fill up quickly? I have PS+ too.

Vita games seem to be between 1 and 3GB. Bearing in mind that you'll need some wiggle room for updates, Youtube vids to play in HD etc. you may only be able to carry a couple of games at a time with an 8GB. I have a 16GB and its grand, have 2 PSP games, 3 Vita games and several smaller PSN games on there with a couple of GBs to spare.

Josey Wales · 22-06-2013 01:37PM

I guess I'll be joining you all a lot more in this Vita thread now. Mine should be arriving during the week. I have a lot of PS+ games to catch up on. First one will be WipeOut. Love that franchise.

GTR63 · 22-06-2013 01:51PM

Is it easy to put vids on a PS Vita?
I have a few MP4's on my laptop that i'd like to put on the Vita.

All handled through Content Manager. Dead easy to do. Works over WiFi once you do an initial set-up.

If you need a converter for any files, I suggest Freemake Video Converter. Freeware and excellent.

Taltos · 23-06-2013 09:00AM

Also second getting a 32gig. I know they are expensive, but just the amount of content I have on mine is staggering. Games are now across two screens and in two folders.
cha
Wish I had known about being able to redownload my PS1 purchases I had made on the PS3 a few years ago - stumbled across these by chance but now loving playing Soul Reaver again - has really upped my view of the vita.

padz · 26-06-2013 06:59AM
