Hmm to buy Killer is Dead or GTA5 preoder…….? damn tough question.
For those complaining about the store updating “early” and thus not being able to purchase a sale item you wanted….SERIOUSLY?!
Sales last for at least a week, always. Next time don’t wait until the last minute.
I certainly wouldn’t mind if the store is updated by the time I wake up. There’s no such thing as too early as long as it’s Tuesday.
@80
You say you’re aggravated about the store updating early, and I understand the underlying frustration from the fact that the store does not update at any where close to a standard time. However, the fact that you spend the majority of the article plugging an article that you just wrote for a gaming blog takes away any credibility your complaint might have had.
Sony, I know the store could possibly update anytime after 9 am, but seriously, when was the last time the store updated that early? Maybe give us a smaller time window, or a more realistic cut-off time like “The store can update anytime after 4pm EST”.
Yeah, sorry if I sounded mad at @45. What’s funny is that I tried to download it earlier today before coming back to this blog post, and it actually downloaded for once!
Can anyone help me with this issue I have recently gotten Playstation all stars and for whatever reason 5 times now it has frozen my PS3. Its strange since my PS3 never freezes. Anyways it happened when playing the story mode with Nathan drake and it happened also again with Nariko. Anyone else have this issue? I am thinking the disc itself could be bad. I already went into safe mode and cleared some data but the issue is still happening. Any Suggestions???
I’d like to request a few things that are a MUST in the PS Vita’s Storefront:
– Avatar Support for buying and downloading.
– Buying and Downloading in Bulk via the Cart/Basket option, just like the old PS3 PS Storefront.
– Shifting the topic to the PS3 storefront for a moment, even if a game is free, please let me put the free PS+ IGC titles, demos, etc. in the Cart to download later at once! I would like my Transaction History much more neater and clean.
– Filters and Sorting Options, mainly for the Low to High/High to Low Price Sorting. Probably the only thing I like about the new PS3 Storefront.
– This one is IMPERATIVE!!! Many PSP and PSOne Classics are still missing in the NA Storefront, and there is just no excuse for that anymore. Even now, on August 2013!
And that’s pretty much it! DO ALL OF THIS FOR THE NEXT VITA UPGRADE! IT IS ESSENTIAL!!! To every one who posts after me, please quote this! I know you do agree with me on this!
@106, Mecha- EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS!!!! I hope a store refresh might implement these ideas.
Whatever happened to the DLC on The Last Of Us u purchased a season pass and no dlc what’s up with that! I’m curious what was the purpose to buy the season pass if no dlc
I really, REALLY wish I could play JOURNEY and TOKYO JUNGLE on my Vita… How do we get that in the pipeline? I don’t own a PS3 (or a television), and I’m sad to miss out on these very original (Sony-exclusive) games.
(BTW, the dark blue linky text in your blog template is nearly illegible. E-Z fix, no?)
Where is real boxing? I thought it will ne released aug 27?
Hi,
Sorry for being late regarding answers. As stated above we have slight delay in US for which we’re deeply sorry. We will confirm the new release date shortly, and we appreciate your patience and interest as we work toward the launch of our authentic boxing simulation. Thank you!
Best
