Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

You can use a Goho-M (there's also a spell that I can't remember the name of) to exit the dungeon, go back to the TV hub to save/visit velvet room/wolf, then when you go back to the area you are playing it will let you go back to the floor you left.

It's also helpful to use when you run out of persona room, you can go back, fuse away to free up room, then return to the dungeon.

Yeah, Goho-M's are an absolute must-have when I go into the TV World. Too many enemy encounters that can really mess you up, and if you're deep into the dungeon areas you'd have to travel back through all the floors to get out again.

Not sure. I just downloaded the update and saw they were on the character selection screen. When I tried to use them, it told me to purchase them through the PlayStation Store.

Are they not available there?

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Vita 3G price drop happened today..... kind of

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/03/sony-retail-stores-slash-vita-3g-price-in-the-us/

After Sony officially dropped the price of the PlayStation Vita by about a third in Japan last month, Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida came out and said the US shouldn't expect a similar price drop. But US Sony retail stores seem to have a different idea about that, lowering the price of the more expensive 3G system by $100, to $199, ahead of a possible discontinuation of the cellular model.

Joystiq was among the first to notice the price drop, which seems to be limited to a dozen or so of Sony's retail locations throughout the US. Store representatives at locations in Denver, New Jersey and Las Vegas told Joystiq the 3G unit was being discontinued, but other stores had not even registered the price drop yet. Sony's own online store is now showing a reduced price of $249, down from the original $299 price from just last night.

Comparative sales for the 3G and Wi-Fi-only units aren't available for the US, but in Japan, the 3G model of the system is slightly more popular, according to recent data from Media Create. That may be due to both official and unofficial discounts provided by Sony and retailers on the 3G unit, which currently sells for the same suggested price as the Wi-Fi model in Japan. Sony has publicly admitted multiple times that overall Vita sales have been below expectations.

A 3G link for the Vita was always a bit of a dubious proposition. Sure, it's nice having another pocket device that can access a web browser and Twitter anywhere, but most people already have a smartphone for that, and the Vita doesn't make for a very good smartphone replacement. As far as gaming, many Vita games don't even support full simultaneous multiplayer over a 3G connection, thanks to bandwidth issues. Given the extra upfront cost and monthly fee associated with that cellular service, it never really seemed like a good value proposition.

Select Sony stores are dropping the price of the 3G PlayStation Vita. On Sony’s online store, the WiFi + 3G bundle is currently listed as $249.99, a $50 cut compared to its $299.99 list price, which puts it on even ground with the $249.99 WiFi-only model.

As spotted by Joystiq, certain Sony retail stores are making even deeper cuts, with some advertising the WiFi + 3G bundle at $199.97. Joystiq reports that stores in California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington are currently offering some form of discounts. Employees of some stores report that the 3G model is being discontinued entirely, while others suggest this is a temporary sale that will only last through Sunday.

Vita’s price was cut last month in Japan, putting the WiFi and 3G models on equal ground at 19,980 yen (roughly $215). Since then, sales are nearly six times higher in Japan, though Sony still hasn’t formally announced a Western price cut.

We’ve reached out to Sony and will update this story with any comment we receive.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

saw the media create #'s for last week in Japan, the Vita outsold the 3DS and soul sacrifice did very well!!! see a price drop and games is all the Vita needed in Japan. Now let's hope SCEA wakes up and realizes this and drops the price in NA.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I think they're saving a push about price until the PS4 launch. With it solidly in their plans next gen I don't think there's much incentive to do it now outside of discontinuing 3G SKUs. In Japan there's new software to support the price cut so makes more sense there.

I downloaded it and it is really fun. Fairly addicting.

Would be cool if they made that game with us artists. A dj hero type of game
