I'd say people are selling them because they forked out the best part of £250 at release for the thing, and months on - when in reality Sony should be pushing the second wave of games, there isn't anythng "new" in the upcoming months.

There is some big hitters but not enough to warrent keeping it - when people can get some money back for what quite frankly at the moment has a been a big failure.

Gravity Rush to me felt like a flawed gem. Reminds me of the first Assassins Creed. Great potential but just missing a lot of features. Hopefully if a sequel is made, they will add more replayability other than challenges.

i agree, i finished it last night and now its just a case of flying round for a few hours collecting gems so i can upgrade and do all the challenges easily

I usually hate collectibles but a game like this could of really used some, i also agree with the Assassins Creed comparison this feels like a slow start to something bigger


Does anyone know how to access the military pack dlc, i downloaded and installed it but nothing has showed up even after finishing the game

Any price cuts on the way? I hear 50€ for France and rumours of end of June... It's £200 new / £150 used - £200 is just a smidge too high - I had the psp but never really played it much... I think £150 with 2-3 games and 4-8gb memory card would suit me....

LittleBigPlanet plays brilliantly on the Vita. It's almost an exact replica of LBP2. I've almost finished my first test level and just need to decorate it and add a few effects before posting it.

I'm really hoping the final version lets me access all my creations across all the games.

I'll probably be able to play the protable version much more than I could the PS3 version as it was so time consuming to do in one go and wait for the TV to become free fro an hour or so. With the Vita I can just pick it up, do a few edits and put it back down again without disturbing anyone.

Shop around. Last week Zavvi were selling the WiFi Vita for £169, it's gone back up £10 now.

Expecting a brand new Vita with 3 games and a 8GB memory card is asking a bit much 4 months after launch, especially with the hardware that the Vita is packing.

I've just swung me a vita, case, 4gb card, wipeout, FIFA and uncharted for £180 off fleabay!

Just a shame I can't buy many DL games as having to delete / DL is annoying - nice to have most of your games at hand.
Hopefully they'll be some sort of sdhc card adapter so could use 64-128gb cards.

Really dumb that Sony didn't put at least 32gb in - who wants the hassle of managing loads of tiny memory cards?
Think there loosing out on DL games

Signed up to the "Inside Vita" newsletter this week, so I got a discount voucher for Unit 13 which is now on sale on PSN, and with me being a PS+ member as well I've picked it up for a mere £13.49, a cracking deal!

Good deal. 4gb card is definitely too small though (feel free to insert your own rant here about Sony's gouging prices for memory cards). Don't hold your breath on adapters, they make too much $$$ on the cards...

For me an 8gb card is, only just, enough at the moment. Get yourself a couple of download titles, as there are gems out there - I've mentioned them both before, but Escape Plan and Mutant Blobs From Space are both great games and not much money.

Tempting, but for now I've got enough games to be going on with with just an 8GB card.

I have physical copies of:
MLB12 The Show
Everybody's Golf
Rayman Origins

while on the card I have:
Unit 13
Escape Plan
Stardust Delta
Motorstorm RC
Wipeout
Gravity Crash (PSP)
Williams Pinball (PSP)

I had 1.3GB left before I installed Unit 13 so I can't be far from full, I may have to grab a new card before Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball Arcade come out!

I got a Vita a few days ago, I really love it so far I prefer it much more than my 3DS, will probably only use my 3DS now for Mario Kart and Animal Crossing when that eventually comes out. Everybody's Golf is a bit addictive

The YouTube app is launching in the USA today, so hopefully it will be available here in the EU tomorrow.

I wouldn't hold your breath, the EU Playstation Twitter account hasn't mentioned it, and anything they're doing at the same time as SCEA is usually tweeted immediately after the US account posts an announcement.

EDIT: Having said that, the EU Blog said at the start of the month that it would be 'end of June', so we should get it soon.

Hopefully it does launch today - it will be a good addition for the console.

Shopto have dispatched my Metal Gear Solid HD collection for the vita, so hopefully I will be able to start on those soon too.

Mine arrived this morning.

I now have a 6 game backlog (all unstarted) with 9 games in regular rotation on the Vita.
