Jetpack Joyride on my Vita? For free, you say? I'll take it.

[quote name='realit3y']Just do yourselves a favor go and grab the youtube app on the Japanese Store

I don't know if it was/is on the US Store just grabbed it, since it was released yesterday and it is beyond awesome.[/QUOTE]

When I got my AC Vita bundle almost 2 weeks ago, I was able to download a youtube app day 1 on my new vita from the USA PSN. Is this a different app? The app on the vita from the usa psn sucks because when you search, you can't sort/filter by any way possible. So if you want to search for a series of videos or a type of video, good luck because you're at the mercy of the garbage "relevance" default search list. Makes the app almost worthless.

eldergamer · Dec 21, 2012

Yeah. I'll pick up up Two Worlds II for $5.

And then over on the PSP side, maybe Hexyz Force for $7. I missed Class of Heroes last week for the same price.
ZHP still hasn't gone on sale yet, I don't think. It should drop next week. (?)

Youtube app is super old news,
just in curiosity I downloaded Youtube app (JPN)

its much much much simpler then N.A Youtube App
WTF? its not the same version?
its easier to navigated on JPN version not sure U.S got an update
since I haven't used N.A account in a while

Namerson · Dec 21, 2012

[quote name='Graff^']So I grabbed Rayman, which is just amazing. I'm going to get Dokuro sometime in the next two weeks. I'm currently on the fence about Escape Plan. The demo was... okay. The presentation is excellent but the controls are really frustrating and (at least in the demo) the puzzles were not particularly inspired. Reviews of the game are all over the place, but not a single one fails to mention how poorly it controls. I'm not sure if I really want a wonky touchscreen game on my vita when I already have an iPhone and iPad for that sort of thing... Can anyone wholeheartedly reccommend this game or is it just one of those things which was okay when the vita launched, but now there are far better games to spend my time and money on?[/QUOTE]

I grabbed Rayman and Dokuro as soon as they hit the store but right now I'm holding off on Escape Plan. I think if it was $5 I'd probably get it right away, maybe it's something about that $7.35 price tag.

FFlakes · Dec 21, 2012

Man I was all set to use my month plus free trial to buy these games only to find out it's expired... Where is the begging thread.

The US app has crappy, stuttering playback for me. I use the one on my blu-ray player instead.

AoA · Dec 21, 2012

Is the PS Store (via PS3 if it matters) down or something? I keep getting a message to quit this application and restart it.

Now its working again. Weird that it was just my PS3 as my Vita got to the store fine.

Wow, the post before mine is two hours old. Did the Mayan Apocalypse come and I missed it?

FriskyTanuki · Dec 21, 2012

[quote name='Waru']Yeah there is a difference in quality but not much. I played both games the first one was certifiable garbage and the second one was barely passable. Especially if you actually pay attention to the story of said games and the inconsistencies in the story(second game had many). In my post I didn't think putting "2/II" was needed since the question asked was specifically for II.

For $5 ehh I would say "okay" especially since technically the game does offer quite a bit of content; However, I personally wouldn't wish it on anyone though. But to each their own.[/QUOTE]
I'm not playing Two Worlds II for the story and I've enjoyed the first couple of hours that I've played so far. It's not mind-blowingly amazing, but it doesn't need to be for me to enjoy it and find it to be worth the money.

[quote name='tylerh1701']Awesome news. Kind of odd because they just released it as a Mini for $4 (on November 20th). I wonder how they can justify making a new, HD version available for free? Regardless, it's probably my favorite mobile game ever, so I will be playing the shit out of it on my Vita.[/QUOTE]
Because they'll charge for extra money in the game like they do for the mobile versions.

It's weird that Halfbrick is all of a sudden coming back to PSN when they abandoned it after releasing Age of Zombies to make new games starring Barry Steakfries on mobile.

Komentra · Dec 21, 2012

I'll play through Jetpack Joyride. I bought it on iOS day one and loved it.

So still no word on what the Weekend Flash Sale is on? Hasn't the weekend started yet?

FriskyTanuki · Dec 21, 2012

The weekend starts tomorrow.

Tsel · Dec 21, 2012

It's an Assassin's Creed III sale. The official Ubisoft twitter just tweeted out this picture.

Jackovasaurus · Dec 21, 2012

Lame.

FriskyTanuki · Dec 21, 2012

Three pages means that there's more to the sale than that.

kouleefoh · Dec 21, 2012

I'd buy liberation for $23 if it was the physical game. Hmm

FriskyTanuki · Dec 21, 2012

Confirmation from Ubi PR that also suggests this isn't the only thing in the Flash Sale:

In preparation for the upcoming holiday break, we have coordinated with the PlayStation Network team to include Assassin’s Creed III and Assassin’s Creed III Liberation in their first-ever PlayStation Network Flash Sale. The following items are included in the sale:

• Assassin’s Creed III – 35% off
• Assassin’s Creed III Liberation – 35% off
• Assassin’s Creed III Gold (full game and season pass) – 35% off
• Assassin’s Creed III Gold & Assassin’s Creed III Liberation – 50% off

The sale is now available in North America (United States, Canada and Mexico) and is only available this weekend.

akmgmer · Dec 21, 2012

Too bad the Season Pass isn't on sale as well, I would have bought that. Not a bad sale though.

ZHP is on sale, for $20. Normal price is $30.

ugh.... I want an Okami HD deal >.

AoA · Dec 21, 2012

I want a Folklore DLC sale. All the old stuff should go on super sale.

topplehat · Dec 21, 2012

Really hoping for a Walking Dead sale. It's gone on sale on XBLA and Steam, but I've only played through the first 2 episodes on PS3 due to Plus.

Jackovasaurus · Dec 21, 2012

How about a PSP sale? Those games are all $20+

The hell...

megma42 · Dec 21, 2012

hitman absolution for 20 pounds in the UK - not sure if this is also in the US.

Not in the US, tomorrow it looks like they are getting Far Cry 3.

What I bought during the sales:
Disgaea Afternoon of Darkness - $8 (I'm addicted to this)
Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? - $5 (Super hard, but I like this game)
ClaDun x2 - $15
Z.H.P. - $20 (better than $30)

I'm still waiting on Disgaea 2 & Prinny 2 to go on sale.

That Assassin's Creed deal that for $59.99 is a awesome if you own a Vita. Two games and a season pass for 60? BOUGHT.

Waiting for the download's to finish. For anyone who is curious about the sizes:

AC III: Liberation: 2672 MB
AC III: 11 GB

I picked a good week to upgrade my PS3 HD to 1TB.

WNYX585AM · Dec 22, 2012

Why is Two Worlds II not listed with the other items on the sale pages of the Playstation Store? The only way I found it was to search by name. I only knew it was on sale based on this thread.

Are you sure this deal comes with the season pass? Why would AC3 Gold be only one dollar less than AC3 Gold + AC Liberation? Even if you don't own a Vita that would be a no-brainer. I am thinking the two game combo may not include the season pass.

It does include the pass but the difference is that each has a different discount.

AC3 Gold is 33%
AC3 Gold and A c Liberation is 50%

I want a sale on Disgaea 3 for Vita. And VC2 for the PSP. Not dropping 40 bucks for a PSP game that is a couple years old and a sequel to a game that undersold even though it shouldn't have.

Sales on Journey and Unfinished Swan would rock too. I have 85 dollars in my PSN wallet. Gimme a reason to use it Sony!

PS: The new store format still blows donkey wong.

I'm 100% sure it does because it even says it does. That's the whole reason they refer to it as the Gold edition.

Yea...it even says the regular price on the bundle is around 120.

So you figure AC3 for PS3 is 60 (regular price)...Vita version is 40...and so on and so on.

Outlaw1986 · Dec 22, 2012

Thanks downloading assassins creed 3 liberation now. C'mon sale on persona 4 golden or need for speed vita.

WOW is it horrible. Insanely slow and convoluted. If you go to the playstation blog and look in the Playstation Network forums there are tons of topics about people complaining how bad the store sucks ass. I posted in the Blogcast forums asking them to talk about the feedback. They must have had no focus group testing at all. The fact that when I go to the vita new content and have to sift thorough about 100 pieces of LBP add-ons is INSANE.

I hope someone over there wakes up and makes some changes.

StrangeInStereo · Dec 22, 2012

[quote name='AoA']What is the Season Pass? Is it more than just pay now and get all future DLC for free?[/QUOTE]

That's the definition of a Season Pass. That's exactly what this Season Pass is. No more than that, well, you get the content earlier than everyone else, too, sometimes.

Come on.. DJ Max or Lumines You can do it SCEA

Zonic505 · Dec 22, 2012

So I guess AC3 is the "Flash Sale" that's going on. Kind of disappointed, since I was expecting more. Oh well, guess there's the sales happening on the 24th & 31st to look forward to.

Sonne · Dec 22, 2012

Tempted on Liberation. I'm getting hung up on Silent Hill and starting to get ready to move on. However, I do want to get to Gravity Rush at some point. When does this "Flash Sale" end?

FlyingMonkey9 · Dec 22, 2012

I would love to buy more vita games on psn but only have 8 GB card...

mrbomb · Dec 22, 2012

How is the loading for Knights in the Nightmare digital? I own the umd but the loading sucks so I never played it but thinking about getting it for vita.

Outlaw1986 · Dec 22, 2012

I have a 32gb vita card with 18gb left and I guess if I fill that one up I will buy another 32gb card. So my account is on my vita and if I switch that card out I would only loose the games on the card and not have to transfer my account every time? Also does anybody know if I could get an external hard drive on my ps3 and not have to worry about transferring everything over?
