I have found the PDPs at Gamestop and Best Buy if that helps you out.

I had the PDP grips for a little while, the triggers are nice, but my hands still cramped up after 10 minutes or so. (I wear size large gloves– not XL). I ended up getting the Hori grips and now I can play until my battery runs out.

As far as a case to hold the Vita with grips, I used a sock for a little while then I remembered I had a Crown Royal bag in the garage. It works great until something better is released.

Anybody else ever have this happen?

Yes, I had renewed since they were first offered. So far all of the other games that in the IGC that I've checked are fine and haven't reverted to a trial status. As far as I can tell, it appears to have just been those four games that changed. Although I found it strange, all are back to normal now so it's not really a big deal.

I sent a message to Big Ant Studios, who developed the Vita/PS3 ports of Jetpack Joyride, about the chances of an update adding button controls and their response was 'very likely ".

If you want to discuss the game more, there's a thread in the Vita forum for it.

When u see a game on the Last Chance (Leaving on 1/??) a new game is coming soon.

If you check the OP and see any games on the Free PS+ Games list with a red asterisk on them, like there are for two games this week, then those will be replaced with new games the following week.

If that's the legit list for next week, this is the first real bad week we've had in a while. Demon's Souls isn't even on sale.

Good to know. Thanks.

I agree. So that means we're getting 2 new games next week, correct?

That's not always true. There have been one or two weeks in the past where 2 games left the free section and only 1 new free game was put up. The other free game would appear in the next week.

It's not. That's just a list of stuff that was announced on the Blogcast that Frisky put together.

What probably happened is they expired when your sub ran out. And it needed to sync them back up to your new sub expiration date.

Don't forget that Activision had announced Angry Birds Trilogy coming out January 8th so this next week this game will come out.

I'm surprised on how the blogcast missed that one out

Is there an easier way to do that other than triggering each game while signed into PSN to the proper account?

That's the only way I've seen it work so far.

genius idea! to the liquor store!! thanks sir.


picked up a pdp grip tonight, triggers are nice but i think i'm ordering a hori from amazon to compare - still feels a little small.

Man, it's astounding that Pure Chess Holiday bundle isn't a Cross-Buy. I had just assumed it was. Do they really think anyone is going to buy that game twice?

Why would they think that? That's like asking if Ubisoft thinks I'm going to buy Assassin's Creed III for both PS3 and Xbox 360.

Anyone know if the 2nd episode of Walking Dead (game) has been free or at least free for ps+ members? I downloaded the 1st episode fine but I could have sworn the 2nd episode was free as well.

Agreed, there is no reason for any of these PSN titles not to be. I bought Pure Chess for Vita because I had a friend who did and wanted to play. Typically though, I will buy games I am questionable on that support cross buy and pass on those that don't.

Episodes 1 and 2 were available for free with PS+ a few months ago. Some items that are registered to your account don't show up in the store as having been purchased, so check your download history to see if it's there.
