Just bought a PlayStation TV (also known as Vita TV) bundle. I've always wanted to play Persona so I got it so I could download Persona 3 portable. I am liking the PlayStation TV alot and persona 3 is great so far. I'm interested to try out PlayStation Now as well.

nice sigil! :P

needs some work, but scored a 250v ac to 120/110v ac step down transformer.
needed one of these for outdoor tools usage.
the epoxy resin sealed block weighs a stupid 20kg, but at least it can handle the load. (up to 50 amp continuous stress, no more, or the overload breaker kicks in.)
uses water resistant hazard yellow mains couplings for the output. (two circular sockets that lock with the plugs, like some truck use for power to traliers)
it's a bit caked in cement and builders yard shit, still works a treat.
ten gbp for a piece of kit that costs no less than four hundred at factory new. (bosch) :mrgreen:

Saw some gameplay and was hooked. Forgot this came out way earlier here in Japan.

My most recent purchases have been Beyond Eyes, Submerged, Beatbuddy, Zombi and Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. I've been pleasantly surprised with some of the more recent indie titles.

^^ gears of war?
good series what i've seen so far. (previews on boob-tube and friends playing it.)
only version i have, is the first game, but it's a (supposed) collectors edition in a tin housing, three times the width of an ordinary dvd case.
has the game disk, and a 'bonus' disk. (and a concept/artwork hardback book.)
yet to play it, but i want all the series first, so i can do a halo like marathon, play the games one after another (missing halo 4 from my stack, patience.)
...
:mrgreen:
not so much a purchase, but a freebie was given earlier.
a six-axis ps3 pad, NO vibration version, and i've been after that particular config for a while.
works great, and the battery life is far superior to the DS3 version. (with motors)
there's slight pulse sent to the motors periodically, and the only way to save power on those, is disable vibration in whatever game that allows it to be knocked off, or uncouple the motor connections from the pad pcb...is what i've done to my other three DS3 pads. motors are still there waiting to be plugged back in, but not on my watch. :king:
...
big thanks to charlotte for this fantastic gift.
owe you BIG-TIME! :P
[edit]
corrections.

Aside from ordering Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain, I just ordered:

Image Image

Been a long time since I last got to play the original SH (lost my copy a long time ago, back when I didn't know how to properly take care of my stuff). Really looking forward to playing it again. I've seen some complain that it's aged badly or something. But watching a couple videos just now, it seems just the same as I remember it. Camera system is a little odd, but the gameplay is pretty standard PS1 stuff. No problem for me.
Second image is actually the OST for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex on PS2. Always been a huge fan of that game's music. Utterly unique and identifiable among videogame soundtracks, and really, really sorely underappreciated since everyone always want to complain that it isn't the same music as in the show. Looking it up now, it's making me a lot more interested in finding more works by Nobuyoshi Sano. Seriously underrated composer.

Anyone got this too? It's looking good to me. Don't usually take my chances with movie based games, but Avalanche knows how to make fun games and i just love the films.

^^REALLY wanting that one. I'd be getting it day-1, but it has the misfortune of landing on the same day as MGSV, so I'll have to hold off until a bit later. Definitely looking forward to it though.

Why would you release anything the same day a massive sequel is set to hit?

It's like the Mad Max marketing people had no idea what a Metal Gear Solid was.

Forgot to add to my previous post. Bought Styx: Master of Shadows. great middle market game. It's hard, it has huge, detailed levels and despite some flaws, it's a blast for any fans of the genre. Game deserves some love.

"People will already be at the store, so they might see our game there and buy it too!" I don't see any other possibility here. :lol: Makes no sense, really.

Same reason why I couldn't support Until Dawn (due to it being so close to MGSV's release), I'd personally love to see more slasher horror games being made, since the horror genre in games have actually really stuck to monsters/supernatural/aliens as horror concepts/creatures rather than anything in the slasher sub-genre, which is really surprising, if you think about it. And just horror games with the TellTale/Quantic Dreams style is also rather fresh. The game is one of the best looking, visually, this generation, easily too. I can see there being plenty of replay value in terms of which paths the branching story can take depending on who's alive and who is not.

And Nobunaga's Ambition releases the exact same week as MGSV too. There's another one I hope does well, but you know, against the likes of MGSV, Mad Max and Until Dawn, I don't think it will. Strategy games from Japan on console are already niche enough as it is, let alone against the gauntlet of hyped up games like MGSV and Until Dawn. Even Mad Max is made to look like a niche game against MGSV... I don't get why these game publishers think they can match up to gaming juggernauts like Metal Gear. Either they're clueless or just stupid.
