I missed most of the homebrew hoopla. Am I correct in assuming that you wouldn't be able to access any PS+ games with homebrew active? Since no new firmware = no PSN, and therefore no authentication available for your stuff? Would your regular PSN purchases even remain playable?

Not sure about the PS+ stuff because I don't have that but you cannot connect to the PSN store without having the latest firmware which is 3.61 now. Regular PSN purchases are fine as they are already on your system.

This is my favorite Senran.

Also TxK was really poo poo and also bad when it first came out, has that changed or is it a matter of having poo poo taste and a broken brain itf (in this forum).

Assuming it works the same as PS3/4 you'll be able to play them offline until your PS+ runs out but you won't be able to renew it after that without going online. Even if you renew through the webstore you'd have to connect your Vita at least once to the internet to renew the licenses on it.

If you're in the Vita Thread on Something Awful you most likely have poo poo taste and a broken brain. Sorry you had to find out about it here. My goondolences :(

Do you have a PS3? You can download the purchases (this include PS+ games) and then transfer them to the PS Vita over USB.

After seeing mention of the 3DS, I just looked up the main Wikipedia page for the series to see what all systems have SK games, and I found out there's also a Senran Kagura anime show. I'm going off the assumption that at least some of y'all have watched it when I ask: does it portray the characters more-or-less true to their video game versions?

For the most part. Daidouji, Rin and Kiriya get to be actually relevant while Hikage gets a different backstory.

I'm still on 3.60, bought a game on the web store and queued the download from there...it downloaded and works fine :shrug:.
Same with old PS+ games i haven't started since my subscription renewed. It pops up a "checking license" thing and then then starts the game, without complaining about an update.
The store on the Vita and the PS+ save upload thingie insist on updating though.

Mine complained I couldn't sync trophies nor play multiplayer in LittleBigPlanet (don't you judge me). Wasn't doing anything with the homebrew that was worth the hassle.

If something says "FROM THE PRODUCERS OF IKKI TOUSEN" that means it's going to be some fanservice anime.

It's okay, it basically follows the story of the first game by the letter and no more or less. There's also a lot less fan service than you might imagine, the OAV that came with EV in Japan was way worse than that.

It actually means nothing other than 'paid for by the people who paid for Ikkitousen'.

The port of Risk of Rain is stellar and it's 10 bucks, which is aces. There's still a few things that are rough (like how there's still the thing with unlocking the Loader also unlocking an item it's not supposed to, but it's not too bad), but it's really fun and with an online system that isn't silly.

I'm glad it's cross-buy, because I've bought thinking thinking I'd want the PS4 version, but the Vita's small screen is great for the game and I don't think it benefits from the big screen at all.

nis america has the worst web store i've ever seen

i've switched banks but I don't get to change my information on a preorder because the user isn't trusted enough, and it's been a week with no email reply and phonecalls don't end up going anywhere either

I figured I'd just cancel and reorder but it appears you need to have them cancel poo poo too

finally beat cold steel after about ~70 hours of ingame time, and I like the part near the end where it turns into an episode of gundam. or maybe code geass, I remember those mechs being kinda like these ones with the heelys

it's a cool game and I liked it a lot. hopefully the sequel is actually out in fall like they say it is because I wanna play it soon

The serial number for my PSTV purchased late last year doesn't even register in the support page.

Of course Vita was shuffled away from the front page of playstation.com along with PS3 in February 2015.

The only place it even implies you can get service on the Vita is a link to an extended warranty site.

E:

Looking closer at the fine print, apparently Canadian Vitas are in the same boat as a broken PS2. Users have to pay for shipping. Not the case for PS3/PS4. USA still gets free shipping in warranty.

Honest to god thinks Half Life 2 is a bad game. But at least he likes Monster Hunter.
Ordered a 64G card and a PSTV. Now I can vita on the couch I guess.

Which is what I did before. Except with a Vita.
