Excited to get The Cave free. I wanted to play it but I wasn't in the mood to spend more than $5. Now I don't have to.

My GF is probably going to be jealous of me. First Ass Creed 3 for $25 on Steam and now The Cave for free. She really wants to play them, and hasn't bought them yet (she only has a 360).

They really need to work on getting those "playable on ps3" persona games on sale already

Thanks everyone. Yep, I knew I could find the PSP game through the online web store, but I was just confused as to why Sony would not allow users to directly purchase them from the Vita store. Sometimes I worry that Sony isn't trying very hard at making this great system more palatable for people who don't browse these types of forums.

He's talking about finding the Capcom Collections, not the sale.

No problem at all. There are multiple PSP/PSone games that are playable on the Vita but can't be downloaded directly through the Vita. Sony is just weird. I suggest bookmarking this thread.

Thanks

And I was talking about the games he specifically mentioned he couldn't find.

They need to be licensed again for sale on the Vita's PS Store along with being tested for compatibility, which some publishers have yet to do for some of their games. Those that are only playable via transfer from the PS3 have been tested but haven't been re-licensed for sale on the Vita's PS Store. They're not withholding them to be mean about it.

correction on nun attacks, it looks like you do unlock team slots.

32GB mem card now full.
to get P4G digital or retail?

Digital
- convenience, having all your games on the go
- works toward the "Spend $50, get $10 back"

Retail
- nice cover
- ability to resell the game in the future (and probably get the digital when it's cheaper)
- gives you more space on your memory card

I've been deliberating over this for awhile now

i prefer digital, but i'd say if you're already a big fan of the series, just grab it digital. it's a good price, you're supporting the dev, and you'll be closer to getting $10 back.

if you haven't played persona before, then maybe grab the retail.

I would say that RPG's should always be digital. So much better for when you just want to pick up / play, versus a game like Little Deviants.

Thanks for the mini-review! I was a huuuuge fan of Battleheart when it first came out, so I did eye this game a bit; but without a better means of character customization or even auto-attack, I'm not sure if I'd like it.

I always go retail whenever possible. Always.

For portables I say digital is better. That way you have your games with you always and no little cards to carry around and lose.

Since you already missed the Solid Gold Edition, theres no reason not to go digital for P4. Vita is honestly the only system I don't mind paying near or full MSRP for a digital game.

And...I just realized Amazon and other retailers sell it for 30$ now too. In that case, I'd say it comes down to how big your memory card is.

Never go full retail, its a recipe for disaster

Yeah the memory card space is really a big limitation, even with the biggest cards available.

On a side note is there any way to delete a digitally installed game but keep the save files? I downloaded some games like wipeout despite having the physical copy because it was free through plus but now I want the space back. I guess you'd have the same problem if you got a plus freebie and insubscribed but still wanted to play. Any ideas? Transfer to PC?

If u have plus send it to the cloud.

content manager>online storage>ps vita system --> online storage

For me, the ability to resell a game will always trump the convenience of digital. I really have a mental hurdle about paying $30-40 on intangible data that I can't sell off to fund new games.

Just want to ask this to anybody else, but I was trying to redownload Corpse Party - Book of Shadows onto my Vita after deleting it to make room.

When I tried to search it from the Vita, I could not find it anywhere on psn. Can anybody else access it from theirs?

Well, with such a backlog of PS+ games I fins myself abandoning them rather quickly. Ive played.outland 20 minutes a day 4 days a week for several weeks and am just around the halfway point. Maybe its because I have spread it out so much I ruined the experience but I got to one of the points where you have to switch colors every spilt second and just said forget it. , I have no more interest. Same thing happened with fatal inertia fx. Rock of Ages kept me to the final boss before I got sick of it. But I'll.say even still I feel I am getting my moneyout of plus, whither I.finish or not I am getting my entertainment value out of it.
