Ugh....I really need to buy a Vita.

Decker

You do. It's such a good value with PS Plus (minus the proprietary memory cards, of course). You'd think the nearly complete absence of any more AAA full-game titles on the system would be the death knell for the Vita, but there are SO many digital only games and so many free with Cross-Buy that it's not even important that there isn't another Uncharted or inFamous in the wings for the Vita.

XavierMike

I second that. There are also a ton of Japanese RPG's too. So, its another bonus if you are into those.

You really do. With PS+ and all of the cross-buy games, it's been getting at least 4-5 free games per month for at least the past six months.

And the digital and indie titles like Spelunky, Fez, PJ Shooter, PJ Monsters, Guacamelee, Velocity Ultra/2X, Don't Starve and TkX are perfect for handheld gaming. I don't really even want to play Uncharted or Infamous that way.

At a minimum, you have to start locking in those Vita licenses on PS+ if you aren't already.

You've convinced me. Off to Target I go.

You may want to call ahead. Stock has been scarce.

starseed1981

Oh man. Wish I read that before heading out. Target was bone dry. The electronics guru told me that they literally sell out the moment they get stock and that he hasn't seen more than two sitting on a shelf since the Borderlands 2 bundle came out. I had no idea. Off to Amazon I go!

Decker

Not in stock there either. Only third-party gougers.

It's available at BestBuy.com though

starseed1981

Yeah, I noticed that. I didn't think the Borderlands bundle cost $265....

Thanks for the Best Buy link.

You might want to check Gamestop as well, I saw a couple of the Borderlands bundles there today.

The only regret I have with my Vita is buying a 32GB memory card instead of a 64GB. I filled it up with all of the free PS+ games the day I got it.

I've been debating picking up a Vita this week just for the remote play so there isn't a war over the tv when my son and wife are both home.

chess

Remote play is kind of a mixed bag.

As long as your wi-fi setup is decent, it works, but the button layout is a problem on a lot of games. I find that it works best for smaller indie titles that don't use all 12 buttons on the DS4 (4 shoulder, 4 face, 2 sticks, options and touchpad).

Decker

Also, I tried to play Diablo on the Vita via Remote Play recently and while it worked alright, the HD text in-game became unreadable on the tiny Vita screen. I ended up never knowing if I should pick up objects to fill my inventory because I couldn't read what they were.

starseed1981

Well, I wrapped up Hotline Miami over the weekend. I know that game came out two years ago but now I realize why all my PC exclusive friends were raving about it. It was just phenomenal if your into that type of thing.

Also, got my Borderlands Vita bundle Friday night at Frys. It's awesome. But I'm glad that I splurged at got the larger memory card. I'd imagine that thing fills over rather fast....

mattysemo247

Did you get the 32GB or 64GB card?

starseed1981

64GB. Not enough?

mattysemo247

64GB should be enough. At the time, I didn't want to spend $100 getting the card from Amazon since it's only sold in Japan. But now that my 32GB card is full, I kinda wish I would have.

chess

And I wish I had a 32GB.

But I don't really need access to more than 10-15 games on a handheld, and indie games usually have a smaller footprint. So I just end up deleting big stuff like Uncharted and Sly Cooper that I'd probably never play on a handheld anyway. And it's not a big deal to redownload later.

redbill

my monthly reminder: there is a backup utility to move games & game/saves to a PC/Mac. no need to delete or de-download.

TheKing

I'm going with a 2 card rotation, swapping 2 8 GB cards. Yeah, it's a little more work, but I don't play a lot of games at the same time, so I can get by with this.

"Why must it always be Pandemonium?"

Gooter

Tempted by Hitman Absolution and Deus Ex Director's. So, Murdered Soul Suspect is good?

adrenaline78

I still have my 10$ psn money from the PS4 launch bundle.. I also would like to know is Murdered Soul Suspect worth it?

mattysemo247

A couple people seemed to enjoy it. $20 sounds like a fair price.

I heard it's pretty short, I'm going to hold out for the physical copy being less than $20.
