gently caress you Sony,

People around me are getting e-mails with 10 or 20% discount codes. All I got was a e-mail stating that the sales are ending soon.

At the risk of dredging up screen debate, I ended up getting a used Vita 2000 with a near flawless screen and it looks just as good as my Vita 1000. I end up taking the 2000 with me for downtime while traveling more often.

I'm buying a replacement battery from Amazon here before I throw my hands up and call it completely dead here. I'd rather pay :10bux: for battery and maybe/maybe not have it work than to buy a new system outright.

A solid plan. I'm surprised they didn't try to make the battery a complete pain in the rear end to get to. I guess they were pretty confident they had the Vita locked down against piracy.

Wow Future tone is a bit more difficult than the other miku games I've played. Barely scraped by on hard difficulty with a 61%.

the 4 buttons presses line thing really is throwing me off. I have to press em all the same time?
Just need to get used to it I think.

So something about Future Tone that I think is new for Project Diva:

All the buttons are remappable.

Meaning, you can assign the four-button combo, or any other combo, to a single button in the customization menu.

Nothing is better than hearing that weird wub-wub transform sound effect slightly distorted due to how fast I'm going as I transform into a flying drop kick into Starscream's stupid face.

It can be a very satisfying game :hfive:

Crossposting from the main thread because it got buried, but I'm looking to upgrade my launch PS4's hard drive. Is this guide from the last thread's OP still the best guide for installation? And is the Seagate Backup Plus still the goon recommended drive? I've only casually been looking at these, anyone have experience with them going on sale/below $80 anywhere?

Yes on both counts, the panel removal varies if you have a Slim or a Pro, but otherwise it's the same.

In Future Tone, I'm finding it's easier to play when you leave the button prompts as is instead of changing the arrow prompts to square and triangle. Double button presses combined with having to hold the buttons down means you need to use the D-pad waaaaaay more than in the Diva games, and keeping the arrow prompts helps me fight my muscle memory. This game is freaking hard.

This is a public service announcement:

Do not purchase Randal's Monday.

Do not purchase it for its discounted price. Do not purchase it at all. Ignore the presence of Jason Mewes and Jeff Anderson, this game is atrociously unfunny and it never stops talking.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So which section of the site has PS1 classics? I'm looking to pikc up a few older things to go and download on my PS3 when i unmod it back to the OFW but i can't see anything on the store for them?

Are they even still available or is it region locked or something (i'm in the UK).

They're still around but I think they hosed with the store and now it's harder to find them all in one spot.

Do a search for "PSone Classic" and they should all come up.

Bah, no dice with the seach either.

Is there stuff that's still region locked too? Like I know Xenogears and Parasite Eve 2 are on the US store but not the UK one (i also saw that there's some half hearted statement from Sony basically saying it's never getting a Euro release).

Is there a way for me get Xenogears and whatnot on the PS3 short of leaving it modded and finding a workaround?

I don't know if it's comprehensive, but you could try checking out the Vita page. I seem to remember there being a classics section which listed PSOne titles.

Yes, you can download them with an NA account as long as your PS3 is hooked up with HDMI, or your equipment fully supports NTSC when using analog video output.

- Create a North American account, U.S. is probably best and easiest for you to fund.
- Get U.S. wallet codes from wherever online.
- Buy and download the games to your PS3.

That should be it, although you won't be able to transfer them to a PSP, Vita or PSTV unless you set that NA account on there instead of your main U.K. account.

I've only ever beaten a single stage. The difficulty is raised after every boss you defeat and the game doesn't screw around.

The new game is to see how many years worth of entertainment you get out of your backlog if you were to theoretically play it. If you leave your backlog alone, you get more years! :v:

Timed trials are back! You can download Rise of the Tomb Raider and Watch Dogs 2 for free, and they will work for three hours each, with progress carrying over if you buy the full version. Watch Dogs 2 Standard Edition is 33% off and its Deluxe and Gold editions are 40% off. No RotTR discounts, by the looks of things.

Nice! I played through RotTR on Xbone but now that I have a PS4 Pro I'm itching to try it in 4K-ish... this will serve nicely.

edit: TR is definitely not a three hour demo... regardless of time played, it ends after you have your first encounter with Trinity.

The way it worked on PS3 is that trophies would pop but not show on your account until you purchased the game.
