PlayStation.Blog Recap

Hi Fred

I have a problem with my PS Vita, Whenever i send someone a message on my vita and then i go on my PS3 i get recieved the message i sent, so basicly i go on my PS3 and see that i sent myself a message when i did not. The message i sent to a friend via my ps vita gets sent to my PS3 in the recieved box, now i know im not the only one with this problem as someone reported the same problem last week, please look into this, infact, you try it yourself and you will see what i mean, just send someone a message on your vita and then check your PS3 messages.

Also Fred

Whenever i get sent a Party Invite it shows on my PS3 straight away but it shows up on my PS Vita about 5-10 mins later wich means if its just 1-1 party chat the host probly has left by then, its verry annoying because sometimes im just on my ps vita.

One more thing: PLEASE ask whoever made the facebook app for vita to MAKE THE TEXT BIGGER! i have bad eyesight and its near impossible to read! making the app useless!

(please reply fred) thanks.

Dear Fred,

Your apology is of course kindly accepted, however there was the opportunity to liven things up and render quite a few European PS3 users happy with a post on how the SingStar icon is now movable and/or deletable . I take it that the informed relevant teams have not yet been able to formulate a response to the matter?

Thank you for reading, as always.

Hi Fred, just out of curiosity, is Vita included in the next plus update?

I just thought what with only just having it are we getting more content or a quick change…

Hey Fred,
Just wanted to give a suggestion, I hope now that igc has been added to vita, I hope for some months of the year “Plus game of the month” is a vita game instead of a ps3 one. It may be a minority demand, but I hope that you can do to keep plus members like me who use vita more than ps3.
Cheers!!!

A bit disappointed there wasn’t a blog post for the release of Virtue’s Last Reward. Even though I chose to import the North American version because the European release won’t include the English dub, it’s still a fantastic game and I hope it does well for Rising Star.

Another week of broken store content. Does anyone at Sony actually ever test anything first? Of course Sony have a conflict of interest that they fail to declare. You’ll never get a refund for broken store content, just credit for the store but to get that you’ll have to ring a paid help line service. So it’s in Sony’s interest to put broken content on the store. No update on Singstar, no update on the missing games and Youtube app, no improvement to the store. Wonderbook and LBP Karting bomb spectacularly. PS Allstars gets less than average reviews and looks set to bomb. Cloud saves don’t work on the PS Vita.

Not good is it.

FRED READ THE MESAGES I SENT U ON PSN

A good week, still upset with QForce on the Vita got delayed and also poor Activsion sale but hey. All-Stars Royale was an awesome game.

Ordered a shiny new Vita yesterday despite my disappointment about how it handles account switching. But Persona 4 Gold & Plus … I simply couldn’t resist any further.

1. QForce looks cool, Polish Preorder price is 199 PLN, on amazon its £13.99 that is 75 PLN ;D that is a RIP OFF ;D

anyways im guessing Polish voice over wont be available outside Poland

2. Singstar topic is like a vermin, give us choice.

3. CoolRichy008UK-2 for behavior like this you should be banned to hell with all your consoles, accounts, laptops, smartphones etc.

4. Vita is getting some fuel now, it is nice to watch as it speeds up

@bennyrafal

Agreed on CoolRichy. Fake account or not, Sony should be able to uncover all other accounts related to it with ease. Be it by IP or Hardware ID. Send him one final warning and then ban everything.

What I’m playing? Find the best price on Vita, of course. You caved too, Golwar. I’m aiming to order this weekend.

Also playing Love is the Drug from the Sucker Punch soundtrack- it’s awesome! Getting to the intended question, Okami HD and Syndicate, the latter I bought around March but barely touched, it’s actually really good, especially to those who enjoyed the Mirror’s Edge/Deus Ex futures.

@AshishSahoo; Didn’t quite understand what you meant. Game of the month is little more than a timescale. Only thing I’d say is important is that the focus isn’t shifted enough to negatively impact the other console which is highly unlikey to happen anyway since the details have already been outlined.

Really enjoying plus on Psvita *oops are my on about the psvita heeeyy coolrichy hahah

Hey there bloggers
As usual fantastic blog recap Fred, big fan think your doing an amazing job. So yes I’ve had a really good week Fred hope you have a good weekend yourself. I have a question do you think maybe in the future we could have remote play connectivity on all our sony and playstation certified smartphones and tablets? Ill talk to you again soon. Bye guys LongLivePlay Sony Make.Believe

@Project2insanity,
I meant vita offerings should be as good as ps3 ones, like there should be at least a good retail offering for vita every month with 1-2 good downloadable games. I only bought plus for vita and am missing out on ps3 igc games because you cant put ps3 games in your download list using vita or pc, and I rarely use my ps3 now.I hope vita igc is good enough to justify full plus subscription for people like me.

my playstation freeze on main menu after i install the update 4.31!

I friends, i install in my ps3 the update 4.31 and the sistem freeze on main menu after i login.

@AshishSahoo; I see what you mean now. I’d personally say Uncharted and Gravity Rush alone justify subscribing to Plus for Vita. Heck, those are the reasons I’m fast-tracking my plan to buy a Vita. It’ll be difficult to match the PS3 effort since its library is much smaller, still early days.

I noticed you mention you ‘rarely’ use your PS3 so I gather from that you still have one. Even if you rarely use it, I’d totally recommend switching it on at least to put content on your download list so you won’t ever miss out but rather always have the choice there.

alrighty fred,

seems im getting dejavu another blog recap and another platinum trophy in the bag

great week for gaming again been playing mutant blob’s thanks to plus and its fantastic, nevermind gravity rush(yet lol) this game is amazing and so much fun
tryed to start ac3 but it just seems so slow to start i gave up for the time being but ill have to dive back in later today its either that or xcom.

hoping to see the plus heads up for December next week along with possible news of a Christmas sale for December, wondering if we will get the 12 deals of Christmas again as i picked up a few titles last year in that.

anyway have a good weekend

@Project2insanity

I was lucky yesterday, when Amazon Germany offered a flash deal for the Vita. Paid 25% less for my Vita + LBP for free. But damn are those memory cards still expensive.

@Golwar; Good stuff you caught that deal. I was hoping for the same over here but Amazon bundled it with a PS3. Still an immense deal and went extremely quick. Memory cards are a concern too but I’m just gonna get it over and done with, get me a 32GB. Overall, I think it’ll still work out good value thanks to Plus.

It good to see ppl cave in for a wonderful little wonder vita, I have not regret my purchase of the vita I say to ppl that slag off the vita get it @ Xmas beg to family members or better still save up look around shops online etc.

For the vita getting a 2.01 to fix the auto saves I’m holding off getting P4 golden for the moment it may be a plus next year plus I haven’t finish P1 P2 & P3 yes I’m so slow playing my game I don’t speed run.

I’m 1 of those ppl that talks to every NPC then again & again after each story events lol

@Skookie30

but ya gotta agree with 1 thing Vita here in europe hardly has any games it’s funny it ain’t taking off in japan they have all the Vita games.

Hey, Fred,
I signed up for the thirty day trial on Facebook nearly a week ago, but I still haven’t recieved my code. Any idea when I’ll recieve it?

@Project2insanity,
I am like, super-busy. So when at home, consoles are last thing on my mind, so handhelds all the way for me. Besides I don’t have my ps3 right now, and it will probably stay like that months. I also don’t know anyone near me who owns a ps3, so unless sony unifies psn so that it can accessed fully by vita or pc, only advantage I can take of plus is vita igc games. Vita has a smaller lineup, so obviously difficult to match the 7 years of ps3, but what I don’t want doing is diluting vita igc by offering psp games, which would suck as I have played most of the great games on psp, which incidentally was the best handheld before vita

Just to add to my previous comment, I already own both uncharted and gravity rush on vita, so this months vita update was not good for me, maybe we can get disgaea 3 next month?

@ AshishSahoo

good shout my friend disgaea 3 would be amazing as a plus game, i already have 1 and 2 digitally and would love 3 as i have been meaning to buy it, if not free then even a plus discount would be nice.

1= great week on psn store + free stuf ( good to see + also on vita )

Been brilliant playing Gravity Rush for free, and of course more great fun playing Singstar. BEST GAME EVER.

Book of Spells first week global sales – 14,000 units
LPB Karting first week global sales – 80,000 units

Uncharted 3 and GT 5 sold more this week than Book of Spells. That’s what happens when you ignore your user base Sony.

@voodoo341
As I have told you millions of times before you are not welcome here. All you do is come in and say silly things on a blog and so book of spells isn’t even out for like 2 weeks yet I’m sure it will sell soon. You don’t have to be so hasty all the time please show some respect and sony aren’t ignoring their user bass just stop writing silly immature things in a blog post. LongLivePlay Sony Make.Believe

Hello again Fred
I have another question is sony buying any big studios I understand they own abit of square enix and some other studios just another thought though also I saw this on Internet I thought it sounded really good but is Apple Inc acquiring sony corporation in the future I saw it on internet flagged as a rumour but I thought it sounded great I asked a lot of fellow playstation gamers they thought it sounded cool. Anyway thanks hope to hear back from you soon. LongLivePlay Sony Make.Believe

@declan_watson

It isn’t your blog, don’t even try to dictate who can and can’t comment. If you don’t like it don’t read it. It’s a bit rich you complaining about immature, silly things. Your daily spam posts about Apple buying Sony are being ignored for a reason.

@fred

Ребят,такой вопрос:есть сонька 2.хочу купить UFC.но на соньку 2 он не вышел.вопрос:если купить UFC который вышел на первую соньку,то будет ли графа лучше?

Nice update Fred!

Guys, this question is Sonya 2.hochu buy UFC.no to Sonya he vyshel.vopros 2: if you buy UFC which came on the first Sonya, would the graph better?

@voodoo341
There not Dailey spam posts if it was spamming I would be saying it over and over again and don’t need to be so cheeky I only asked like I said I saw it on the Internet flagged as a rumour I’m just seeing if its true or not and its not that I have anything wrong with what you post it just looked not nice just saying that oh book of spells hasn’t sold good in sales yet it was only released last week give it another week and they will sell more. I don’t know why you were impersonating me I was just asking about the rumour anyway sorry for any inconvenience. LongLivePlay Sony Make.Believe

No word on the COD season pass pricing yet?

Fred, any idea if Lego Lord of the Rings will actually download this time either automatically or manually today or tomorrow ? I’ve already been charged for it and it claimed to start the auto-download at 2 am, but checking the PS3 shows no download in progress or any game to install.
