It's a mixed bag, Havoc. If you're going to look at it like a renting service, then they should at least give you the option of what to take. I dunno, I always thought PSN+ was a decent service but it just needed a bit more practical application. It's too all over the place and there isn't that much incentive to get people to join it. Get downloadable games early? I can wait. Get free games? I'd rather guarantee ownership in the event I can't renew my subscription. Games on sale? Probably the only part of the service that seems relevant.

I think it needs a bit more fine tuning, they really should do more to get people to want to sign up for it.

The only thing that I think that needs fine tuning is its interface navigation for the store, but I've gotten used to it again. Personally it's not a big deal to me and some others whether I physically own a game or not, if I can get it for half the price and keep it for a long time I think that's a great option, because most games I play I never go back to once I've beaten them. Like Far Cry 3... now that I've beaten it and the multi-player sucks, I don't see much reason to hold onto it. But yeah, the nice thing about a physical copy is that you can sell it to someone for a reasonable price. This usually leads me to buy the games I want asap. Redbox bothered me last time I used it, $20 for keeping Assassin's Creed and still not beating it was not great.

In an amazing move, Sony, in one fell swoop, uploads digital versions of practically every PS1 and PSP game onto the PSN Store for the Vita...only to have them all removed again because it was apparently a mistake. This has got to be the dumbest thing they've done, considering the Vita probably needed this due to how badly it's floundering.

Have a Jimquisition on the whole debacle. Sony really needs to fix their shit with the Vita. I haven't bought anything new for it since Danganronpa came out. And, of course, the whole issue about the cards costing an arm and a leg (and any size other than 8 GB being rarer than fucking hen's teeth) means I can't buy any Vita games off the store.

Also, something needs to be done about the Vita only getting a small bookshelf-sized lot in any store around here.

At this point, Sony is essentially trying to sell the damn thing off as a Wii U Gamepad alternative for the PS4. Except, telling me gameplay experience would be improved with one console by buying a whole other one is ludicrous. The Vita is a pretty powerful handheld, but it suffers from the same crap the PSP did for the longest time; WHERE MAH FUCKIN' GAEMZ? The PSP didn't start getting the REALLY good shit until YEARS after release, and by then, no one was interested. Then they released the godamn Go, which was just a joke.

But if you have ps+, you're getting a lot of content.

You can't exactly take full advantage of the Instant Games Collection when you can't find/afford a larger memory card. And even with that, the Vita still just doesn't have enough games, after being on the market for about two years.

I really should watch more of that. Instead, I'm a super lazy ass. Also, I should give All-Star Battle a shot (already bought the game), but my PS3's disc drive is fucked up and more or less needs to be sent in for repairs D:

That is like, the worst thing. I've had my Wii repaired twice because of that shit.

YOU'RE NOT HELPING.

All things considered, I am looking forward to trying games like FFXIV on the PS Vita via remote play from the PS4 (and doing so would mean I'd be able to play FFXIV on the PS4 while my siter plays in on PS3) but I fucking bought the Vita for the fucking Vita games, not to (eventually) turn the PS4 into an overly expensive Wii U clone.

Focusing the Vita solely as a "peripheral" for the PS4 is fucking stupid and you fucking assholes are making the situation worse.

Shoulda created it as a peripheral and then had it branch out as something you can use on its own. Would've been infinitely more successful that way and people wouldn't have to legitimise their purchase because they'd have gotten it with a PS4. Yes that's right, Packaging the Vita as a peripheral would've not only guaranteed PS4 sales, but would've solidified it as a multipurpose tool within the industry. But no, Sony made a dumb.
