Not a big seller, apparently. I think this game launched on PSN at £20 to begin with..

^I read it was the opposite, tearaway was apparently a success and I'm not surprised considering it was the 4th best seller on shopto in the days after it's release

Not sure but I got mine for 90£ which is a pretty good deal. I'm pretty sure you can find in that price range if you look carefully

My top five would be
1. Persona 4 golden
2. Uncharted
3. MGS HD collection
4. Rayman origins
5. virtue's last reward

I haven't even come close to playing everything on it though so you would be better off checking the link I posted


Cheers. £90 isn't too bad a price to be honest. Still not sure if I'll be able to afford that any time too soon mind you.

Really? The first I heard of it was it sold 14K. Not that I really care.

and the success of Tearaway highlights what an great proposition PS Vita is, either as a stand-alone device or as the perfect companion to PS4.”

From sony themselves, I don't think there have been any official stats released when it comes to total sales either

Turns out I may be getting a Vita after all. I won't jump the gun until things play out.

It comes highly recommended. You especially would enjoy it joka, get it, you wont regret it.

the psp is one hell of a little hand held too, thst son of a bitch can play multiple libraries of games via emulators (vita custom firmware is scarce and still in beta and not even worth getting cause no psn) and the psps library on its own would make getting one worth it, everything else it can do are just lots of added bonuses. I wonder if PS2/Dreamcast/Game Cube/Original Xbox emulators will one day be playable on the vita? :shock: *crosses fingers*

^The PSP cfw works great on vita, I'm currently using tn-v4 and it's much better than the PSP thanks to a better screen and the second analogue stick making fps's and MGS:PW much more playable. Emulators all work fine too, haven't enountered any problems with them. Only downside like you said is not being able to access the Vita's psn but you can still access it through the PSP cfw and copy vita games you bought off PSN using your ps3 and custom CMA

Yeah, I have a feeling once the Vita becomes older, and having PSN for it isnt as neccesary and not as supported, putting custom firmware on it will be much more favorable. Thats when I plan on doing cfw anyway.

So my vita got the blue light of death today, luckily it was easily fixable but still scared me a little

if any of your vitas refuse to turn on but the ps button is solid blue then press the power button for 30 seconds, if the safe mode screen comes up you should be able to fix the problem by just restarting it

Wow I never heard of that before. Good thing its nothing major. Seems these days anything with a built in battery needs a soft reset method like that whenever it locks up.

Drakengard 3 sold over 100k in the first three days on sale in Japan. It's nice to see when these niche games can still sell well. Here's hoping this makes Square-Enix consider some of the other IPs they own and start developing new entries into those.

Yeah, I've had that too. Supposedly it is just a random occurrence, but at least it isn't actually "death" for the system though, right?

^luckily it's just a glitch that isn't really harmful, no idea why they call it the blue light of death. maybe it occurs when your vita dies too?
