    Cheers for all the replies! Need to get it this morning as friend is going away so GameStop and the Lego bundle appear to be the only option. Thanks again!

    Ok so I said I'd give an update on the vita r2l2 button case yolk.

    This is more of a mini update but anyway...

    I played an hour and a half of metal gear solid there and I must say it worked perfectly well. No issue at all. As I said feels slightly cheap but work perfectly.

    The way the r2l2 buttons are on the touch pad makes it pretty much impossible to play this game without the case imo. Looking forward to playing more tomorrow.

    I assume it'll work well with other ps1 titles like this.

    I haven't given remote play much of a go but will in time.

    Just not getting much time in general to game at the minute.

    If you have jak and daxter 2, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it with this case? the gun system in that game needed r2 & l2 and i gave up in frustration trying to play it on the vita

    I could be wrong but I think I might have it.

    Did it come free on psn in the past two years? I think it did.

    If so I'll check it out for you and let you know.

    The trilogy was free back roughly mid 2013

    Where'd you get it, was looking at amazon JP but it was 45 ish and then shipping on top.

    Haven't seen it in stock anywhere else.

    I got it on playasia. It was out of stock but came back into stock a few weeks back. Haven't looked since so don't know is it in stock now or not.

    I'm currently at psycomantis in metal gear. Those of you who have played the game will know how many hours I've put in at this stage so yeah it's going well. Working perfectly.

    In other news I talked about my concern over its build quality. Well I dropped it the other day and yes it broke apart BUT it went back together. All the clips just snapped back into place. I'd imagine I was just lucky though. I could see those clips snapping off fairly handy.

    Need to get me a new case now that it'll fit into after use.

    X-Com is out now on vita, it includes the dlc too. Reports on reddt is that it looks and runs pretty well for a vita port, generally 30 fps with some dips.

    Sony don't help the vita with stuff like this dropping by surprise. Not that I'm complaining mind XCOM is a superb game & a nice fit for the Vita too.

    Do you need a memory card for Physical games? And where's the cheapest place to get a memory card, €20 for 8gb in Argos seems to be the best.

    ?

    And are Vita's region locked, Seen someone on adverts selling a Japanese one would there be any problems with it over here?

    Yes you need a memory card, Argos is the cheapest unless you go the online route.

    So I'd have no problem with digital/physical games or remote play?

    There will be no issues, just do a factory reset on it if your getting one second hand.

    Anybody got a Japanese console? Is the X & O being switched around annoying?

    I have one, but it doesn't annoy me at all really. Got the white model when I was in Tokyo a few years ago, there might have been some getting used to using x to affirm actions but I must have gotten used to it pretty quickly.

    That's the one I want to get, it's by far the nicest looking one imo. I know I can remap buttons but read it could make things very confusing and I doubt I'd like using O to confirm even if it is only for the main menu, prob just get a black Eu model.

    Ah yeah it's up to personal preference, but I Love my white vita, it looks and plays great 3 years on, the inconvenience and momentarily forgetting the button mapping is worth it in my opinion. :)

    A new firmware version is out, just some tweaks to quality of the system performance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Anyone looking to get Severed next week? €15 with 10% off for PS+ subscribers in the first week of sale.

    I'll definitely be looking to pick it up, Guacamelee! was terrific, great to see DrinkBox's continuous support for the Vita as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,161 ✭✭✭tok9


    I'll definitely be buying it. Pity it wasn't a weekend earlier as I've a flight this weekend. Would have been perfect.

    That's a pitty alright, I have 2 hour flight and a 5 hour bus journey the weekend afterwards so I'll be delighted to have something to play through.

    Digimon Cyber Sleuth is down to €20 in the spring sale.

    I remember hearing lots of good things about this when it was released, anyone here pick it up?

    Does it hold up well?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,161 ✭✭✭tok9


    I'm tempted to get it along with Volume.
