PSVita (Successor to PSP, was PSP2 then NGP)

So, just to confirm: were you able to play it on your UK account or is it solely linked to the foreign account?

If I only have to go through the palaver of switching accounts once then I'll definitely be grabbing that demo later on.

You have to sign in with your hong kong account (in this instance) and can only play while signed into this account. After playing it I then did the same process of going back into my UK account. The main downside is having to wait for the intro video to play each time to change region.

Other than the warranty, I wouldn't have thought so no.

edit: obviously you'd need a UK plug or adapter for it too

Ahhh, that's a shame. I was hoping they'd stuck with the "five active accounts per downloaded item" rule. Still, other than that video, it looks like switching profiles is no more or less painful than it was on the PSP Go.

Downloadable games are region free, but they're tied to whichever account they were bought on.

I'm having pre-order code difficulties. When I get to the screen following the clicking of the email ink it says I have wrongly entered the code despite me having entered it correctly.

Any ideas? I've called Sony and they don;t seem to be able to help me.

Hi folks I still have a super stardust code if anybody wants to swap for escape plan

[Daragon]

I might take you up on that when my code arrives if no-one has offered a Hustle Kings one by then.

Yeah ill take you up on that, give me a PM.

[Daragon]

Will no-one swap with me? I only went for the escape plan code because I thought the game was going to be the same price as the others.

If I'm not mistaken, EP is the first game to come from its developers, why on earth does it carry a ?10 price tag?

Why does the fact that it's the developers first game mean it should be cheaper? Sony are charging the price they are thinking its worth.

It also clearly has higher production values than games like Super Stardust and Mutant Blobs Attack as well.

Do you honestly need that one explaining? Why do you think new employees to a company are frequently paid based on experience? You're never going to pay someone with a blank CV a top tier salary! Who was the lead designer on the game? Shleur McDingdong from Sweden?

I don't see what constitutes as higher production values either. It's in black and white ffs (yes I'm aware it's the style they were going for but still). From an art style it might be a little more accomplished than Hustle Kings and its shiny, reflective balls but generally the level of graphics isn't any better or any worse than what's on offer with the alternatives.

Employees salaries are based on what they are worth to the company, and depending on the job you do you will be paid a different wage no matter what your experience is in that job. A corner shop worker will be paid different to a police officer who will be paid different to a professional footballer ect, even if each one of them is new to the job in question.

Games are the same, different games are seen as being worth more or less to the company producing that title, it's not the people who make it that always define the price.

Also, the graphics and animations are really good in Escape Plan, it's a very polished game. I've already stated in the first play thread that I feel it's a game that could be made on the iPhone, it's not breaking any ground by any means with its use of the vita's many functions. But it's still a top quality game at the end of the day and I wouldn't argue with paying ?10 for it at the end of the day, never mind 5, becuase you will get as much enjoyment from it as you would many games that you will end up paying ?40 for.

If it was a retail game, it would likely have cost ?35 or something back on the GBA. It's ?10 for a 4 hour + experience that has great art/animation and does some genuinely genius things with the touch screen (at least I thought so). And with the code, you're even getting it for a fiver. I don't get what's to complain about, I paid ?10 for it and it's awesome. I even spent ?5 more than I needed to since I also had the code on the way for it, but couldn't wait.
