PSVita (Successor to PSP, was PSP2 then NGP)

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.

I think you've missed my point somewhere. Going off your pro footballer analogy here, no club in their right mind is going to be paying out X number of millions to buy a player and then X number of hundred thousands a week to fuel his most likely ludicrous salary requirements that has no "track record". It is EXACTLY the same with the games industry. Do you think Miyamoto started from the lofty heights he now sits at, with Nintendo selling his games for ?40?

Why do you think Indie titles or countless "put your *&$% in my sheep" sims on android and Ios only sell for pennies? They're from companies who carry very little to no weight in the industry.

Sorry to derail this thread somewhat more than was the intention, but just felt like my point needed hammering home.

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.

I'm not denying it's a good game, but at the same time I'm finding difficulty understanding why it carries its ?10 price tag when other, more established and tested games in the same promotion such as star dust are offered for a good few quid less.

You don't start at the top, you work your way up. Heck, my entire argument might be void if EP isn't its developers first game. No-one has corrected me yet however though so I'll assume it is.

Still have the Sony code for stardust if anybody wants to swap for escape plan code

[Daragon]

If you're happy to sit on it for a day or two while mine takes forever to arrive for whatever reason then I'll trade with you

Anyone know how best to transfer PSP data to the Vita? For example, the Wipeout Pure DLC packs, which don't exist in the PSN download list? Or PSP game saves?

[J0e Musashi]

You cannot transfer save data. Can't you get the Pure DLC packs from the store itself?

What about the ridiculous amount of money liver pool payed for Andy Carroll ?(who incidentally has so far been a bit of a dud). It's true that you don't start at the top (not usually anyway) but some people manage to get there with a lot less effort than they probably should.

Also the first Nintendo games were full priced titles, unless we are talking game and watch, but that's not really the same thing.

Im not even sure if it's the developers first game to be honest, but I know it's a lot better than some developers tenth game, so the price is a steal IMO.

Unfortunately not. They came about before there was that type of PSP DLC and were all offered free as downloads that worked like save game files and they never put them on PSN. Would really like to be able to use them as they're sitting on my PSP and they effectively double the content.

I've got the escape plan code sitting in my mailbox for the stardust one if you want. My mate wants both but wants stardust ASAP once he gets his vita so would be great if you could trade it.

[J0e Musashi]

I've just searched for Wipeout Pure in the add-ons section of the PSN and low and behold, all four DLC packs are sitting there ready to be D/L'd.

*Edit* I meant Wipeout Pulse

Still you can go to the official site and D/L them, and then transfer them via Content Manager on your PC perhaps?

[Dogg Thang]

Are you sure you're not looking at the Pulse packs? Maybe the Pure packs made it to JP PSN but I'm almost (though only almost) sure they aren't on UK PSN.

Had my first Vita issue this morning. I had it in charging last night and woke up it was still plugged in. The PS button was blue but nothing happened when I pressed power. Ended up holding power down for 10 seconds and it rebooted with some kind of recovery menu. I just selected restart and it came back on. Bit of a fright for a moment, but tip is dont leave it plugged in overnight guys

I was told they can be a bit temperamental, I've had no issues since the first day, thankfully.
