I never play in pitch black darkness so I never noticed the spots. They're supposed to be there for all units.

Doesnt bother me either. Stop being OCD, nerd.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #5462 on:** May 06, 2014, 12:57:19 PM »

mine had kind of a screen door or "denim" pattern which i could see over certain colors, bothered me at first but after a while i didn't notice it much

If you buy God of War Collection - it is cross-buy with PS3 version. Sounds like it only works if you do it online only though.

Quote

As an added bonus, if you purchase God of War Collection for PS Vita system via PlayStation Store, you’ll get the PS3 version for free via cross buy (and vice-versa).

demi · « **Reply #5464 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:26:32 PM »

Apparently there's a glitch with this.

If you have PS+ - "buy/download" the two God of War HD trials for PS3 (I used the webstore).

DO NOT RUN THEM (?)

Now, on Vita (or webstore? or PS3?) search for the collection, and it should show up free.

Buy this.

Now, because you bought the Vita version, the PS3 versions should now be cross-buy, and thus free.

I dont have enough space to DL, but I bought the Vita version for $0.00 - so it seems to have worked.

Got a link to the trials? Not seeing them on the web store.

NM; found them.

bork · « **Reply #5466 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:46:38 PM »

Hmm...both collections show as "unavailable." They must have found that exploit already.

demi · « **Reply #5467 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:50:56 PM »

You sure? They show up for me when I browse when not logged in.

Here is my DL list:

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #5468 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:55:33 PM »

Deal daed.

When I go to the store page of the collection, it shows up as Free but when I click buy, it says "You are not eligible to purchase this."

demi · « **Reply #5469 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:57:06 PM »

People are saying it still works. You might have to actually add it to your cart first.

- Buy the two GOW PS+ trials
- Buy Vita Collection
- Done

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #5470 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:58:16 PM »

I can't add it to my cart.

bork · « **Reply #5471 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:59:46 PM »

Nope, it worked for me after all.

Try the trials from this link.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #5472 on:** May 06, 2014, 03:59:54 PM »

Thanks, Obama!

demi · « **Reply #5473 on:** May 06, 2014, 04:01:16 PM »

Try using Vita if possible.

I used webstore for the PS+ trials

Then Vita (work wifi yes) to buy the Vita collection

bork · « **Reply #5474 on:** May 06, 2014, 04:01:34 PM »

Stupid question, Joe: Are you a Plus user?

The file size is a whopping 15.5 GB, too- I'm not even gonna bother, even with that new 64GB card I got.

demi · « **Reply #5475 on:** May 06, 2014, 04:02:51 PM »

Those are the PS3 games. Vita is like 3.5GB total

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #5476 on:** May 06, 2014, 04:04:38 PM »

I used the webstore to "buy" the trials and that worked, but it won't let me add the collection to my cart. I tried it on the Vita too, but there's no "Buy" button, just the collection page.

Hmm, they might be fixing it. There isnt even a "buy" button on Vita store for the collection.

@bork

It shows up as 3183MB on my Vita Download List.

GoW Collection on Vita is a true representation of the world in 2005 as it's complete with 240p Youtube encoded cutscenes!

still leagues above Nintendo, tho

demi · « **Reply #5485 on:** May 06, 2014, 06:49:46 PM »

The Vita store is showing the BUY button now - check your Vita, chubby hubby.

Apparently they just removed the two PS+ trials, instead.

TVC15 · « **Reply #5486 on:** May 06, 2014, 07:54:16 PM »

Can you stream PS2 classics from PS3 to Vita? I fucking want to play Nocturne while on the shitter so bad.

I ain't buying, then. I'll stick with my 2 PS2 copies and DoubleJump strat guide.

GO TO THE WEBSTORE NOW.

Done.

The PS3 version is still borked for me (shows up as Free, but won't let me add it to my cart) but I don't even care.

Edit: When I got the PS3 store, it says I already own the collection.

demi · « **Reply #5491 on:** May 06, 2014, 08:51:48 PM »

Yeah, that's what happens. You now own it because you bought the Vita version.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #5492 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:02:17 PM »

The link in this thread shows the full version of the PS3 game, not the trial? I don't see it on the PS3 under store - > PS+ -> trials either..

demi · « **Reply #5493 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:07:31 PM »

They removed the trials, so no more glitch.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #5494 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:25:04 PM »

Bought the BL2 bundle today. Went to Best Buy first, and after thirty minutes of several employees searching everywhere for the five they supposedly had in stock (they never did find any), I called Gamestop - from the Best Buy show floor

- and had them hold one of the two they had. I don't know if this is bullshit or not, but the Gamestop dude told me these bundles are a limited run, and after they're sold it'll probably just be Vita + 8GB card for the same price. Said he tried to get a couple more for store stock and couldn't.

Had to do a system update right out of the box. Goddamnit, Sony

Anyway, it definitely feels lighter than the 1000 I had. I like the screen fine, text is nice and crisp, colors look good, and it seems bright enough to me. I like the rounded edges. Could be just me, but I think the speakers might be a bit louder? Still think they should have gone for a back click pad instead of rear touch. And you can't use the memory card and the internal memory at the same time?

Flip-flopping on whether to sell the BL2 code. I've already played the shit out of it on PC, dunno if the novelty of handheld gun porn is enough to start again.

demi · « **Reply #5495 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:30:06 PM »

I'd probably sell it. People on GAF are paying up to $30 for it.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #5496 on:** May 06, 2014, 09:31:31 PM »

still have no earthly idea why you'd buy a 2 or 3DS if you don't like JRPGs... they're pretty much the only reason to own one

I'll get a Wii U when I can wrangle one for $150 or less. Play Mario Kart, Zombie U, and...well, my fiance has a shitload of Wii games she can use on it, I guess.

bork · « **Reply #5502 on:** May 06, 2014, 10:08:23 PM »

Eel, hang onto that code or sell it off. Everything trickling out about Borderlands seems to stink. Was looking forward to it, too- never played any of the BL games before. Oh well, time to install it on PC I guess.

Here's some more comparison photos. Apologies for some of the 1000 pictures being cut off a little bit in some of them. Also note that any banding you see is from the camera; it appears a bit on both screens. I think reds look better on the 2000; they're too saturated on the 1000 screen, but the 1000's OLED screen remains the champ in my book. I noticed that in some games, like Senran Kagura, the washed-out colors hide some detail (see the character's head in the very last pic).

Top/right- 2000
Bottom/left- 1000

Both systems were at max brightness.

There continues to be people in flat-out denial over the superior OLED making their presences known. So fucking weird, even for fanboys.

Direct-feed game play.

How does this stack up to the PC/console versions?

If you could get BL2 running on lowest settings and lowest res on the Asus t100, that's probably what it would look like

Honestly, I don't think BL2 looks that bad. Enemies explode and disappear instead of laying around, and some effects are missing, but other than that it's kind of impressive they got it running that well. That tiny text would kill my eyes, though.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #5510 on:** May 06, 2014, 10:52:52 PM »

Downloading some PS+ stuff, took 20 minutes to download Lone Survivor (236mb). Get your shitty WiFi together, Sony.

Takao · « **Reply #5513 on:** May 06, 2014, 11:12:36 PM »

I find it very strange that they prioritized the screen resolution over the frame rate or visual effects. I guess the art style looked awful at subnative?

Remote play kind of sucks unless you're right next to the PS4, which sort of negates the whole remote playing aspect.

Results vary. I haven't tried it from outside my place, but I can get great results anywhere in my apartment. There are two types of remote play connection settings you can use, BTW. One based on your wireless network and the other directly connected to your PS4. The latter is the one that you need to be closer to the system for it to work well.

Turned off the WiFi power save setting and it works much better now. Played a little Sound Shapes and didn't seem to miss a beat.

There are some positive impressions on Borderlands popping up, but I'm still skeptical about it. Waiting to see some reviews.

Decided to get Ragnarok Odyssey Ace last night. Same game as the original, but with more content added and the animation has been improved.
