I just bought a $50 card and I'm getting an error when trying to redeem it. It notes it's the $50.00 card and when I hit confirm I get an error. I looked up the error and it says it doesn't allow money to be added to a sub account, but this is my main account and I just used a $20 card last week.

Is this just an issue with PSN right now? I even tried redeeming it online and it gave me an error there too.

So, I just spend £26 in the EU PSN sale. Yeah, they really got me lol

Ape Academy
Arc the Lad 1
Downwell
Gex Deep Cover Gecko
GTA Liberty City Stories
Red Alert Retaliation
SEGA Mega Drive Collection
Tomba

No regrets. I only regret... that there isn't a 128GB Vita memory card for me to fit them all on.

I'm thinking about Downwell + Spy Chameleon on Vita and Primal on PS4...


did Epic Mickey 2 Vita get delisted?

Damn....you are right VLiberty. Just checked the Web Store (NA) and only see the PS3 version listed for download. Will check my download list to see if I still have it.

Ironic, as I just put up this article covering the history of the series. It has problems of course but the original should be noted for bringing Oswald back & helping bring Mickey to newer generations.

Edit: Still in my download list. So if you own it already, you didn't lose it.

I'm a lurker, but a couple of quick notes from me:

Started playing Trails of Cold Steel on the weekend. The first couple of hours I was having regrets, but I switched over to PSTV and something clicked. I am not sure if it was moving to the bigger screen or the game settling in, but it may end up rivaling Persona 4 for my favorite RPG on Vita. I know a lot of people here love the game, so it's not a shock, but I'm really enjoying it. I think in part the small text and large amount of dialog make it more comfortable to play with a controller in hand than on the handheld.

Also started playing Alone With You last night. I only finished the first section but the music and atmosphere of the game are really interesting. It makes me think of Actual Sunlight a little bit as far as visual novels/experience go, but that could just be the first AI that I've run into. Either way I am excited to get back to it.

Thanks to RK128 for the nice review on Alone. I was going to check it out but that pushed me to go ahead and get it at launch.

I'm glad you enjoyed the review :). And welcome to the PSN thread :D! Hope you enjoy the community here, as they are awesome.

Never heard about that issue with Trails of Cold Steel, but glad you was able to enjoy the game on PS TV.

Glad you're liking it. Bolded part applies to me as well. though not just on Vita. Had this as my comment for the 52 games thread when I finished it:

This game was an addiction for me, I couldn't put it down since I started playing it like just over a week ago.
Loved it, haven't felt this good about a game since Persona 4 (my #1 game of all time), this is probably just right below it. Can't wait for the sequel.

lol, truth. I end up answering a lot of those PS4 questions though. =P
I occasionally answer them too. Rarely but still...
But do you know if it's possible to share play clips from your capture gallery to frineds? D:

This is weird,usually every Tuesday there is special themed discount sale in the NA store
Before the flash sale there was no sales.
Now,still no special themed discount.
Pretty sure the themed discount is the Capcom humble bundle going on.

Still having issues?

is anyone having issues getting on the store on ps3?
i login, then i click on store and shortly after it signs me out
PS3 is garbage do not use. Like at all. Use the App or the web store.

More posters are always a plus. Glad you're enjoying Cold Steel and reading your impressions is making me hyped for playing it whenever I finish SC.

it seems Sony added new "Retro" section into PlayStation Store on Vita, never noticed this before:

I haven't really followed Zero Time Dilemma's reception (except for the Watch edition clusterfuck) but I've been playing it since it's launched and It struggled to keep my interested. I like the idea of how they constructed the game but as of now I genuinely don't see where they're going with this and in the meantime the pace of the game seems so damn slow.

What I'm asking is, was it well received by people who enjoyed the previous 2 games ?

Loved 999, liked VLR, hated ZTD.

I don't think I even got halfway before I decided to play something else. It's not just the presentation that's crap; the stuff that's supposed to have an emotional impact on you simply doesn't whether it's because of the game's laughable presentation or because we've seen the same thing happen in the previous two games.

Cool, it's not just me then, I was starting to think I was losing interest in VN games lol.

I'm really disappointed about it though, during the entirety of my current playthrough, the game didn't make my feel anything like the previous games (
Luna's ending
and
the Sigma twist
for exemple). The new characters are awfully bland and the game managed to make the returning cast worse then they were before.

I'll keep playing because It's a franchise I hold dear but it'll be really hard if what I played is any indication of the rest of the game.

Y'know, I've never tried - but I assume it's possible as the videos don't have any kind of DRM or HDCP.

I'm having a strange issue with the store on Firefox on Android - no matter what I try it just refuses to sign me in. It accepts my password and 2FA, but then says "Sign in failed. If the problem persists contact customer support."

Sign in is fine on PC, and through the PlayStation app on the phone, it's just Firefox which seems to have the issue. I've tried clearing cache and cookies and even uninstalled uBlock in case that was the issue, but no luck.

The only posts I can find related to this error are on desktop and say to disable noScript, but I don't use that.

Has anyone had this error before?

Damn, I wanted to buy Vita version of Attack on Titans but it's 50 euros. What the hell is Koei thinking? I will wait for a sale.
 
So.

A while ago I began going through my download list and making a list of Vita game download sizes (legit ones). I didn't get very far, but I put up a rough list that I've been poking at here and there. Just did a final revision and double-check of my download list and I've got everything I own; 167 titles, or roughly 16-17% of Vita games

http://thevitalounge.net/playstation-vita-digital-download-sizes/.

That's not enough for my taste, so I'm looking for some outside help from the community. ^_^

If you could be so kind as to post me (either via PM, Twitter, or reply) a screenshot of the size read-out of any game I don't have listed - in either your download list or in your download queue (via your notifications bar) - that would really help. All the sizes compiled so far are from the North American PSN, but I will accept sizes from other major regions as long as you specify which one (as they're not all the same). I'm also only taking sizes from the two locations I listed in bold, and with screenshots, as I want them to be accurate and verified as to best serve anyone who needs to know.

Thanks for your help in advance. :)

---

PS; Before anyone asks or attempts it, the PlayStation Store, your install size or content manager reading, and/or the webstore are not accurate places to check as all of them can be skewed due to errors. Your download list and download queue when listed on Vita are 100% accurate (as they don't seem to be entered data but instead a read of the actual file).

I didn't hate ZTD, but it left me feeling completely empty. I don't care about anything that happened. Maybe Diana. I really like Diana.

I had fun playing it but that's it.

999 is still the best because it was so fresh and unique at the time. Very disappointing end to the series and the formula has gotten stale.

Loved 999 and VLR

As for ZTD..
It's probably the only thing I regret buying this year.

PSN is undergoing maintenance? Perfect timing Sony.
Perfect timing is right. I literally put in my credit card and tried to buy something, and 1 minute later it says "purchase can't be completed because service undergoing maintenance". Can't even remove my payment info now, RIP.

So, ultimately, what's the deal with psmobile games?

Will I lose them if I even swap my memory card? It would be torrible to lose access to Super Crate Box(plus I still need to play a couple)
