Be warned though, once you delete any of your downloaded games, that's your save data gone, never to return. I learnt that the hard way...

You delete the Game Data and your save game goes with it? Seriously, how does that work?


Sony decided that one way of tackling game piracy is tying your account games with saves of said game on your account's system. It screws the consumers basically, especially if you only have a 4gb card and want to play something else digitally...

And they seem surprised at the Vita's bad numbers at every turn. Can't blame them trying to protect themselves from piracy, especially after it killed the PSP, but they need to strike a balance.

I don't understand how a system that sold 80 million units failed in anway? Only a fraction of people did that compared to how many bought one. 3DS uses regular SD cards. Sony did not do it because "piracy" Sony did it because Sony ALWAYS has to have its own proprietary thing. UMD,BetaMAX,Mini disc,Memory Stick etcc..

nothing killed the PSP, it did very well it's just sony thought that they games weren't selling enough compared to the amount of PSP sold and thought that if they restricted things from being pirated then they would sell more games. turns out they were wrong and it ended in them selling less PSVitas instead as a lot of people modded their PSPs to play emulators on the go and not the actual PSP games

^On that note, when is the 3DS going to be able to play SNES games? I'd like to play Earthbound too, but since it's exclusive to Wii U...

Hilarious, isn't it? Those of us who never modded our PSPs essentially got tarred with the same brush. Not that I think being able to play games via emulation on the PSP was ever really anything "bad" myself anyway.

Weird that 3DS hasn't released it already. It seems to be a very overlooked game. I makes you want to hack systems sometimes with the way the companies act.

I've been wondering why people love Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters so much. Am I from another planet? When I look at the videos, it looks nice in motion, but it seems to be a game where you obliterate everything around you with a flick of your wrist. Maybe I'm the only one that doesn't get off on that, but to me it lacks substance and challenge.
