Getting a NA physical copy for either game would have cost me $80 (I already own digital copies of both games, fortunately), but the JP version of 1 / 2 Reload only cost $30. The price of physical copies of games for vita sometimes reaches the point of absurdity. Some games are released only in some countries. They are immediately bought up and begin to resell at the price of a new ps4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic-Spencer Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Im not sure if this has been discussed in this Topic as I’m only really checking in now once the news was confirmed about store closure, but I’m more worried that there may be a complete shut down of the PlayStation 3s online service in general! I have a fair backlog of games that I’m going to be prioritising now and I’m worried that there might be a time sooner rather than later where the PS3 won’t Sync with the Network, rendering all Trophies unobtainable, or more like unable to be registered to a gamers account! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially titles that only got limited print runs like Neptunia re;birth 1 or Ar nosurge plus Over the past year, since COVID hit, I've seen a definite increase in vita game prices. A lot of online options seemed to dry up. Especially importing from Japan and Asia. I also decided to start to fill out my collection, and I have pretty much all of what I want physically, at least from the NA region. Mary Skelter was the most expensive at a bit over $100 (all prices Canadian). I finally found the last Hyperdimension (Nep U) for $80 this weekend. Most of the rest I was able to get around $50 or less. I would say the ones that have really shot up are the Danganronpa series, P4G, the Nep games and the Atelier games. Valkyrie Drive is also really hard to track down. The other one that I had a miserable time finding was Lost Dimension. Got a copy this last weekend at $40 which was a steal. This is one to watch as it just got delisted. Mary Skelter was already crazy expensive, but you can get it digitally for $10. Other games to watch are some of the Limited Run only prints - Fata Morgana, London Detective, the Nurse Syndrome - they will likely go way up in price once the store closes. I had hoped to get some UK/EU stacks. The plan had been to go to England last summer, but that didn't happen. Realistically those games will probably become so expensive that importing won't be an option now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been discussed quite a bit, really don't know when Sony will pull the plug on the rest of the online functionality for PS3 and Vita at this point, and how short of a notice they'd give. It's wild to think there's been some servers for multiplayer games that got a longer notice before their shutdown than the stores. Definitely prioritise PS3 games if you care about the trophies. I'd like to think this isn't something we need to worry about any time soon, but this news coming so soon after the new webstore (and other services/features getting terminated), I just don't know any more. I used to be pretty confident that when they inevitably shut down the stores on PS3 and Vita, they would give a year's notice minimum. Well, that didn't happen, don't even want to think when they might spring the full closure of all online functionality on us and how short of a notice period they might give. I'm personally going to keep going at the same pace I have been going (that is, playing PS3 and Vita games steadily), don't want to stress myself too much over this, and at the end of the day, if they do remove the ability to sync trophies, I'll still play those games in my backlog that have trophies I'll never be able to sync anyway. I'm just so exhausted with Sony right now that I don't even care any more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Duderino Posted March 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Hello! My name is Jim "Play Has No Limits™" Ryan. You know me from making bad decisions at your favorite gaming company. We love our players. That's why we do not tolerate spicy scenes in video games brought to PlayStation® platforms. But we do tolerate rough doggy style if the game was made in California. By ourselves. We love our players. That's why we removed PS3® and PS Vita® games from PlayStation® Plus without compensation. We love our players. That's why we turned our terrible storefront into a horrible one. We love our players. That's why we issued false DMCA takedowns on YouTube to prevent potential customers from learning how bad The Last of Us Part II™ is. We love our players. That's why we refused to allow crossplay. Nobody wants to play with Nintendo® users. We love our players. That's why we close storefronts for legacy platforms. Look, I took a random picture. I just works™. Yours truly Jim Ryan P.S.

No worries some people in denial are still there to say Sony is great and all lol... even better now they have all that shovelware to help enhance their experience. Rip 2021 They spitted even on their homeland leaving lots of Japanese devs without their jobs. Some of them are still making games for Vita even now... Fooled all their loyal customers who where there since PS1 with all this "for the players" and "no limits" crap and made PlayStation platform an inferior way to play multiplatform games in 30 fps "cinematic" mode and accessible way to play FIFA and Fortnite. Funny to see how many players here were defending Sony saying that obvious arguments about Sony's plans to kill their legacy are nothing, now they will just keep defending Sony saying that multiplayer in those games will still be online, trophy support will still be there until they'll do their next step and disable shit for good in few months, it's just their new audience... And it's the trophy hunting forum where only hardcore gamers are supposed to be... I'm shocked that there are so many people who will rush to buy stuff before store closure paying Sony for what they've done. It's a disgrace to use PlayStation in 2021, it's the worst piece of shit on the market right now with the worst management imaginable.

IntroPhenom Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Something I'd like to emphasize, since I misread it initially. Perhaps I'm the only good whose brain went duh, but here it is anyway: If you have purchased a PS3/PS Vita cross-buy bundle and have only downloaded either the PS3 or PS Vita version, you will need to download the other version prior to the closure of PlayStation Store on the relevant device. I had misread this to mean that any cross-buy, including PS4/Vita cross-buys, had to be downloaded on both systems, but that isn't the case. Only PS3/Vita cross-buys require both downloads.

This on Twitter please Twitter/petitions/boycotts have never worked in the past, and I don't really see that changing for this situation, especially when, liking it or not, the people affected by this are an absolute minority. Also, just searched and the guy's ~60, so I'd say he still has some ways to go. And a person's nationality doesn't affect their character: if you pick a bad person, doesn't matter if they're American, British, Japanese, Brazilian, Chinese, Korean... they'll be bad either way. So picking a new leader based only on their nationality doesn't really work. The truth is: as much as this sucks, this won't really affect them all that much. Maybe they'll lose a couple hundred players, but the money from the PS5 (which is selling like hotcakes) more than makes up for what they'll be possibly losing. Xbox and PlayStation have completely different business approaches as of recently, so unless something really big happens in the gaming scenery, they'll just keep on happily co-existing with each other. It isn't a situation where one wins and one loses. (Will somebody distort what I said and try to paint me as a "fanboy" or something? Probably. Oh well.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelGraphics Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 We all knew this day would come, it will be the same for the current consoles in a decades time. At least they let us keep our purchases and are able to download them even after the store closes they could easily have said stores closed fuck off. I just hope that before it does close they at least have a sale as some of the digital only games are way overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
