No. By default, your Vita will not even try to log in until it asks you. It's actually kind of annoying that it is logged out of PSN at some times when I want it to already be logged on.

That being said, I guess there is a possibility that PS Plus could work differently, but I doubt it. You don't have to be logged in while playing PS Plus games on a PS3.

Tablets are fine, but there is nothing like real buttons and analog sticks. My biggest problem with tablet games is that the controls are poor, so only certain types of games are fun.

Another alternative is to download the games to your PS3 and transfer them when you want.

That is wrong. Deleting the Vita game WILL delete the save.

If you don't know the right answer, don't answer.
If you're trolling, don't answer.
If you think you know the answer but aren't sure, don't answer.

In all likelihood he probably just didn't know. I'd assume the game data was separate, too. Granted, I don't have a vita, lol. Even if I did, I wouldn't know that until I actually deleted a game. That's how the PS3 works so his assumption wasn't totally illogical. But, you're right...misinformation helps no one. Anyway, guess I need to keep this in mind when considering memory card sizes.

traded .. vita

Uncharted
Madden 13
Wipeout

total was $44 after extra $10. Now to find a cheap 32GB too bad they couldn't release a 64gb by now.

Nevermind

Ooh, I had forgotten about that. I think that's what I'll do and then just move stuff over as needed. I upgraded one of my PS3s to 750GB so I have all the storage I need there.

Yeah, actually it is pretty stupid if it works that way. Why can't your saves stay on the system? It is completely illogical that they don't. But didn't they say there would be (PS+) cloud storage for game saves on the Vita? So you could always put them there before deleting games if that is the case. I'm going to assume that deleting a game off your Vita would not result in the Cloud storage save being deleted. That would definitely defy logic, common sense, and any number of other things...

I've heard rumors that it was an attempt for Sony to prevent CFW as people on the PSP could use save files to somehow pirate stuff. Who knows? Maybe its all a conspiracy to make us all buy PS+ so we can take advantage of the cloud saves. I hope there are cloud saves. I only have 7 GB left on my 32 GB stick and want to download all those delicious free games coming up.

Gravity Rush, is 1.5GB on PS Store.Uncharted is 3.2GB! and Wipeout is 1.6GB.

I may not know what i'm talking about, so anyone with more knowledge, feel free to correct me.

I don't think that's really accurate. The Black Friday sales on Vita bundles at all the major retailers (Best Buy, Target, Fred Meyer, possibly Game Stop.. we will know soon) are straight up $199.99. No gift cards, no mail in rebates, just $199.99. Even if it is for a limited time/quantity, I don't see why pricing restrictions would be put on Newegg for the same exact bundles.
No matter what, I'd even consider a $249.99 Vita bundle with a $50 Newegg gift card though. With as much as I spend there, it would basically work out to be the same thing.

Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is around 127 MB
Final Fantasy Tactics is around 205 MB

Total file size of all games is around 6.6 GB plus whatever size Jet Set Radio will be.

I'm not sure how accurate it is either, but I believe I've heard something similar. For example, Apple imposes rules pricing re-sellers and stores. And, legally, I believe it's within their right to do it. In the case of Sony, it makes sense considering no one ever deviates below MSRP.

Traded in Gravity Rush vita at Best Buy for $20 with the 100 percent bonus.

Don't forget there is PlayStation Mobile: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=329463

It's coming along. The iTunes App Store didn't happen overnight. Of course, I say this from the gaming perspective.

Uncharted only has a base TIV of $3 so with the 100% you get $6 if you aren't GCU which would give you an extra $0.30. Gravity Rush has a base of $10.
