Then everyone would argue over the Vita codes since those would only be usable by 1 person. I am not really sure how likely we would be to get codes initially, but who knows.

Seriously though, this is something we could do. The problem is that it would not be free. I know a guy who runs another small website for a beer community. I could talk to him and get an idea on cost if there really is interest in this.
Yes, please find out about costs, as I honestly have no idea how much creating and hosting a website costs.

All the rest of the details could be worked out later, but yes, you're right, figuring out who gets which review codes could be troublesome. We could possibly set up a waiver priority system or something.

 
Nope. Nowhere to be found. I tried in Safari and Firefox. And now Chrome too.
Hmmm, not sure then. This is what it looks like on the left half of my account page. I'm using Chrome, version 42.0.2311.15 dev-m (64 bit)

I want to put Helldivers on my Vita too, but damn it's huge. 6.7 GB according to the store. That's not going to happen. If I were to somehow clear enough space, though... can you use the pack-in PS4 headset with the Vita for chat? I'm seeming to recall no, but maybe I hadn't tried that. It might have been an iPhone headset that I tried, so I'm not sure. Would be nice if I could.
The store doesn't show file sizes correctly for games that are cross-buy sometimes. Instead of an accurate file size it shows a combined total for the different versions. The PS4 version shows as 2.8GB. The PS3 and PSV versions both show 6.7GB. I expect that the PS3/PSV sizes are being added together and that it's more like 3GB each. There's no reason for the PS4 version to be less than half the size of the PSV version.

I'm sure somebody who has the game can check on their Vita to verify, though.

 
Aww, I'm no longer Elite at Best Buy. My 3 year un-earned run is over I guess.

It actually kinda sucks. It's gonna kill cheap BB game purchases that can't be shipped to store.
aw goddammit, me too. I actually had two straight earned years (mostly thanks to work purchases) but those jaglords want to give the free elite to people that don't spend the money!
 
Actually, if you wanted to just test out the idea, you could start with something cheap and easy (ala tumblr, blogger, or wordpress) just to gauge interest and if people would actually work on it. Then move up to the paid webhosting/unique address when/if the website grows.
Good idea, we may start here. Obviously as a blogger site we may get even less codes (though NinjaSquirrel gets review codes from time to time and he only writes Steam reviews) but I think a few of us like writing. We could review games we already own, write about news, opinion pieces, etc.

Hell, Vig could probably easily write an article about the MGS V CE based on what he's posted in here.

And it would count as a writing credit for any of you aspiring writers/journalists out there.

And we may start it and only ever get 3 articles and it could completely crash and burn. But it would still be fun to try.

 
Any Prince fans here should check out this cover of Beautiful Ones and if you don't like Prince you need to check your musical taste.

Prince = Genius

I like Prince's music. I liked him more before finding out he was a Beyonce fan, though. :nottalking:

 
Plushies are awesome, when they don't look like a big ball of cotton with a shovel attached.
It's a bit bulky, yeah, but I still like it. But like I said, not nearly enough to drop $30+ on it. If I could find it on a Target shelf for $8 I'd probably grab it.

Prince is the man because he writes all his music and plays every instrument on his albums. Then when he goes on tour he gets his band together.

It's amazing one guy can make so much great music.

Yeah. That's part of why I don't like Beyonce that much--the comparison to people like Prince who write and play all their own shit.

 
Thanks everybody here for the kind words. I know I can always count on the PSNOT to cheer me up when feeling bummed.

You guys rock.

 
I would write articles/reviews about games for a PSNOT website.

But then you guys would be mad because I'd actually be honest about the games and not just talk about how amazing everything is because it was given to me for free.

Gameplay looks like it could be fun, the actual trailer is pretentious as hell.

Agree with it all. The trailer looked awesome and I was wondering why you said it was pretentious before it went into epilepsy mode. Really cool looking premise for a game.

I need to review mine. There are a bunch of purchases I made in November that show as getting zero points and zero dollars on the website and I didn't use a RZ or Gift Card on. Looks like there may be some stuff flat out missing as well.

anyone have injustice on ps4 help me boost like 3 online trophies now? practice with a friend and some online mp ones?

also should I get helldivers?

and freedom wars tonight?

this is lots of stuff going on...

 
It took me all of February just to find the first boss in Rogue Legacy.  Some of you probably already have the plat for OliOli2 by now.

Should I stick with Ni no Kuni It's not really holding my interest that much. I'm only maybe 5-10 hours in, have three familiars. I like the art style but the pacing is pretty damn slow.

 
Damn, I lost my Elite Plus at Best Buy, but still have Elite. I guess I can live with longer shipping as long as it's still free. I'll miss the 45 day price adjustment period, but I honestly think I've only gotten to use it like 2 or 3 times in the past year anyway. Seriously, though, how are they making any money on GCU? 

 
Zimm got a La Mulana review code? What a fucker.

This is why we need to set up a video game website. A lot of us like writing about games anyway and staying on top of gaming news, we could just start writing reviews and streaming games on Twitch and then just reach out to indie devs for some games. Nobody would get paid but we'd get free games. That is what Zimm does for GameGravy.
The guy that owns GG finances it all himself, with a little help from ad revenue. I do remember him saying it was pretty pricey to maintain. As you know if you go to the site, it's not the most well put together thing. I've seen the same template on other sites, so it's not unique or anything. The news we post is very scattered too.

Owner is an advertising producer for his real job, so he has lots of connections, which helps. A lot of the writers don't really understand some basic composition principles, but that doesn't seem to deter us from codes because we get review codes from smaller studios desperate to get their word out there, and then from other studios we make good PR contacts with. Once in a while we'll get a AAA game, but most of those we just have to buy ourselves.

I just happened to luck into the gig because I worked with him a few jobs ago and we just happened to talk about video games with another co-worker one day.

I absolutely think that if PSNOT started something up it would find some viewers. Small devs love to see their stuff get checked out and we obviously know our stuff and are well spoken. Plus we have a wide variety of tastes to represent all styles.

Going to try freedom wars tonight for a quick game or two. I need to refigure out the controls.

helldivers is bad ass and I think you'd probably enjoy it. Must be played with people, kinda sucks alone

I can help with injustice sometime if no one else can.
