Playstation Vita thread

I got my hands on the PDP Trigger Grips for $27 and change from a retro game shop close to me. It seems expensive but it feels nice and online prices for the same item aren't very cheap either. Can't wait to try it!

Pretty good "Only on PlayStation" sale on PSN this week.

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/ ... a_games%7C

I made the switch, thanks to the required healthy deposit on memory cards to go digital with Vita titles down the stretch so am looking forward to these:

Freedom Wars $2.99
God of War Collection $3.74
Wipeout 2048 $3.37

If you don't have Hot Shots Golf already, its also $2.69.

I may grab Flow and Flower for the portable also (under $2.00), and Malacious Rebirth is a nice price at $2.49 also.

God of War being 15 gigs - gtfo , no way am I burning that on a memory card.

A bunch of PSP and Vita titles are on sale in the Golden week deals. If you haven't snagged the psp cap on favs before they're all out there.

I picked up Steins;Gate for $2.99 and Ys: Memories of Celceta for $7.99.

Has anyone worked with any programs that let you transfer from your Vita memory cards to store on PC? I've seen a bunch of talk lately on this and am wondering - did something change with recent update?

The fact that you can back them up and quickly manage content on your cards (vs downloading on PSN) is quite attractive.

Yeah, I worked with it a bit to back up several games on my Vita. The only real caveat is that you need your Vita updated fully with an Internet connection to authenticate. It's not too bad to use, and cleared off some space without having to download directly in the future. It's been available since I had my Vita, though, so I don't think it's anything that has changed recently... unless I've missed something.

I believe you can also back up Vita downloads to a PS3.

[retrosportsgamer]

Interesting - I'm tempted to back up all my PSOne classics that way also.

Grabbed Street Fighter x Tekken in a recent digital sale, think it was like $5.99. Came with the costume pack add-on.

I nearly grabbed Marvel vs. Capcom 3 at a GameStop a month or so back, but someone else actually grabbed it during the week between my stops. That one is seemingly going up in price.

My last physical want-list titles are:
Borderlands 2
Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition
God of War Collection

...and I have to check digitally, one of Rachet and clank or Jak and Daxter I have.

The sales are still happening on PSN for the system, despite it's status.

I mentioned it awhile back on this tread: The DLC voucher for Borderlands 2 has an expiration date. I think it expired around a year ago. It could still work but if you buy it new just be aware that the box is "lying" in the sense that it may not come with DLC.

If you show proof that you bought it new maybe Gear Box might get you a working code. Who knows...

Edit: read somewhere that the codes were extended until 2018. No proof was given however.

Has anyone been buying any of this stuff other then me? Anyone planning to buy any of the upcoming releases?

I think the third party support for Vita in 2017 has been very impressive, especially considering Sony doesn't even acknowledge its existence in the west.
