Hi all! I'm getting my Vita next week. I'm wonder which PSN region to create..should i create the US or Asia one? i knw for sure US has more content than Asia's but i thought that we should support Asia for more growth so that we get more content..
*
Good to hear u supporting Asia PSN. I would challenge US got more content coz now Asia's content is just as good and almost every region will have similar content now just a matter of timing (eg rayman origins was free on Asia PS+ first but now free on US PS+ while Hitman absolution was free on Euro PS+ but then later free on Asia PS+). One benefit Asia's PS+ will have is that they get Japan PS vita games for free (just check out this month's and u'll know) including games like Ragnarok Odyssey!

QUOTE(NecrosavaNt @ Sep 7 2013, 05:54 PM)
Planning to get a vita soon. Heavily considering getting a US PSN account. Since most of the content(most psp and psone games) I'm looking for are there. Hope to be clear some of the questions i have.

1) Can i get physical copies of R1 games from most shops? Or are they only available from specific ones and online retailers.
2) Do I have to match the game region (R1/2/3) with the PSN region in order to play multi-player co-op? Or does it only affect the online contents and DLCs.
3) Will there be any latency issues playing multi-player with players using accounts/games from other regions? E.g. I'm on US PSN trying to play co-op LBP with a friend who uses an asian account. or Killzone MP.
4) Any big downsides to using a US PSN account.
*
Downside of using US PSN account, you can easily compare with Malaysia trophy hunters / gamers. But only if u interested in that sort of thing smile.gif

QUOTE(sinobali @ Sep 8 2013, 05:50 AM)
Can anyone recommend me the best PREPAID plan for 3G PsVita,
or any feedback of the one youre using now? Im interested to pick one thanks to Killzone

PM me details if youre a dealer as well tongue.gif
*
I'm using Umobile 2 GB (RM 40 every month). Not prepaid but so far so good. Mainly use it for near and downloading stuff. Problem with prepaid always have to remember to top up etc.

1) Ah, that's good.
2) Every-time I think I got all the details about PSV's region rules, I learn something new. Would really prefer an Asian PSN. But the limited contents on the games I wanna play are lacking.
3) Ah, Dammit. I would probably keep to playing mostly single-player games and the occasional Co-op
4) Don't know about PS+, don't have a PS3/4 at the moment. Not sure if it'll be worth the free 2-3 vita/psp games.
Not really a big thing for me. So I guess that's 1 less downside.
Also, is it just me or are shops not selling the wifi only psvita anymore.
*
Stores not selling wifi only Vitas? Thats a surprise. All the LYN major sellers got (and even if its 3G version its priced the same now). As someone mentioned its RM 21 per month for 2-3 free new games. A new single game for Vita costs at least RM 100 and even if discounted it would be around RM 50-60 (or maybe RM 30 if from US) so its plenty worth now. Of course you need to keep renewing if you keep it every month. I paid RM 125 per year and already I'm halfway / finishing PS Vita games like Shinobido 2, Virtua Tennis 5, Star Strike Delta, Uncharted Golden Abyss, etc etc thats at least double if I had bought new / used ones online smile.gif

QUOTE(FoxSeaTiger @ Sep 9 2013, 10:08 AM)
^ If are planing for co op I think PSN asia way batter.
Unless u got friend from PSN US to play with.

I found playing online with other region is damn lag.
When I play with local player Is way batter less lag.

Looking fwd for co op RO...playing alone is damn boring lol

Bro. Add me. PSN ID : YChoon

Looking for RO players (not RO: Ace yeah) to coop 100 quests at least smile.gif Most ppl online are so high rank. I only reach chapter 5.

Going get my vita soon...based on the psn member on page 1, normally you guys on US PSN?

Some are. Some on UK PSN. Some on MY PSN. Some have multiple PSN (like me tongue.gif)

QUOTE(dreamassasins @ Sep 18 2013, 12:33 PM)
wanted to ask something

if i buy ragnarok odyssed r3 eng, and my fren bought r3 chinese

is that we can play together? or only english can play with english?
*
Yes you can. I played with R3 Chinese b4. In fact I also download R3 items in Chinese before so I don't know what it is until I go into the game and see the item I picked up from Near.

QUOTE(renoxrinko @ Sep 18 2013, 01:25 PM)
Can anyone feedback on this? I'd like to know as well /curious

Edit: Also does anyone know how well N.E.A.R works with the wifi only vitas connected to a portable wifi hotspot? Is the experience just the same as one that has 3G built in?
*
If wifi speed is good it should be faster. I use a 3G Vita and when I in hotspot or at home with my fibre I switch to Wifi only. Also in presence of Wifi, Near and all apps will use Wifi instead of 3G though if slow it will revert back automatically.

QUOTE(Abdul Rahman @ Sep 20 2013, 03:16 PM)
Hi, what is the advantage of having a 3G Vita?

Only can use skype right? can't use it as an actual phone and reply messages?
*
Skype, Foursquare, Facebook, Surfing, Messaging (to frends on PSN), checking & updating trophies, Downloading game items via Near, and some other stuff all without the need to connect to Wifi.

No can't use as actual phone, though I do receive SMS from Umobile telling me my bill is near inside my Vita *LOL*

thanks for replying bro... any workaround on this? anyway you can use it to send text messages to other phones?

whatsapp? wechat? any app?
*
Unfortunately dont have those apps on PS Vita at the moment. Of course if you wanna use Custom Firmware you can try google it.

Only facebook chat & Skype as far as I can tell. And no I dont think can use to send text messages to other phones (maybe got workaround but never used for it). Use a normal phone lah bro. Why so troublesome wanna use PS Vita to text messages smile.gif

don't want to carry both.. if can send messages and all that... don't have to remove the 3G sim card..... plus so much added value... if vita can be used as a phone, then the purchase is more justifiable
*
LOL shades of Nokia N-gage. But no you still need to carry phone. Thats why I use Umobile 2 GB. I think later will downgrade to the newer Maxis 1 GB smile.gif

Wow... so I need to keep on pay to become PS+ member in order to continue playing those games... meaning the cost incurred would be higher than buying the game card itself in long run... in a way, that's how I look at it.
*
LOL, its ok if you dont subscribe smile.gif No one forcing you smile.gif Some ppl just feel otherwise smile.gif Also your explanation only applies to free games yeah. Games bought at discount (and some are really really discounted) will be kept even if subscription expires.

*
What speed ur unifi?

I download games from US, MY, EU etc no difference in speed. Am using Maxis Fibre btw. 1.7 GB for me takes about 10-15 mins with 10 MBps line.

Hey guys,

I'm confused...

I have a PS3 with a primary Malaysia PSN account. I play all my games there and I have my friends list there. I don't care about DLCs unless they are free and useful.

Now with PS4 coming, and compulsory to have PS Plus, I don't wanna miss out on the US PS Plus free games.

Can I register my PS Plus in US but continue using my MY PSN? Meaning I download everything via US PS Plus (those freebies) and then I just log into my MY PSN to play?

At least with my VITA, I can just be permanently logged into my US PS Plus since there cannot be multiple accounts?

Hope someone can advise me... thanks
*
Why compulsory use PS Plus US? It is not compulsory but yeah if you want free games u can subscribe. Yes you can register for US and still play with MY PSN. Only thing you can't play is with your Vita as its limited to 1 account.

just curious, if making a R3/MY PSN acc. All the digital game price would be in MYR? price similar to US PSN? ://
*
Yes all digital game price is in MYR. To a certain extent US PSN has better deals and better offers but MY PSN has improved a lot vs when it started out. There are still price gems vs US PSN for some Vita games (just a couple of months back, games like Little Deviants, Resistance Burning Skies, Motorstorm RC are all cheaper than the US PSN as well as card games). Now they also have Dragon's Crown at RM 81 which is RM 50 cheaper than the card game and about RM 20 vs US PSN. When Killzone Mercenary was launched, the price is also the same (or slightly cheaper than US) though US PSN did have an offer for USD 9 for KZ Mercenary recently.

Just in case you think I'm pushing PSN MY, do know that I'm a PS+ member for US, UK & MY, and I'm a dead bargain hunter when it comes to online purchases so I would compare easily across the regions. That said you can't go wrong with subscribing either one so if you think you want to set your account to US is ok. I'm advocating more on MY coz I think with more support shown here, they will improve further. Plus they will have one advantage US & UK will not have which is access to Japanese games (free or discounted) but only if you're into it of course.

Any proof that Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc will be added to MY PSN?
Because YS: Memories of Celceta was not in MY PSN.

I read somewhere it may be added later but the problem is maybe Chinese / Korean Subtitle with Jap voice.

Why? Coz I cant find an R3 english version, all R3 are Jap with Chin / Korea subtitle. I found english but those are R1 or R2. I'm starting to see a worrying trend.

The Jap with Chinese/Korean subtitle Danganronpa already on PSN. I personally don't think the English version will be on PSN. (some English versions don't make it to our PSN, eg Sei Madou Monogatari is in our PSN but the English version of it (Sorcery Saga) is not and its already 2 months since released)

Best bet is if you want the English version of Danganronpa just buy the R1 or R2 copy as the game has no DLC anyway.
*
Yeah I personally dont think so also. Thats why am a bit irritated by this, and already got a few flaming comments on the Asia PS website on games released that are not in English.

Hi guys.  I went looking for a ps vita at lowyat last week and found a guy selling for rm500.ver.1000. Was about to buy when he said it was a US set and would require a step up converter.  I decided to not buy and research first.  What i found out was the ps vita adapter is supposed to be universal,  works anywhere in the world. Just need to buy a plug adapter.. Now im wondering why he said that. Is it a good deal or too good to be true? Would have just bought from heavyarm but he sells only in bundle.

Too good to be true. Be careful.

i got a question. If i buy a digital games in the US psn store. Can my brother download it too on another vita without no extra charge? Whats the pros and cons?
*
Can but he need to set up your account in the other vita to access the games you bought. So he'll be playing on your account. No issue if mainly offline stuff.

Only con is just that using ur PSN account instead of his own loh. If he wants his own trophies then need to buy separately.

Not so sure but if you do it in ad-hoc mode it can be possible.
