[Stanley]

Yeah I'll be buying FFT myself.

[Gambit]

Looking on the Vita store and there's also a PS Plus discount on top of the Final Fantasy prices. Not a lot. Final Fantasy VII for instance is £3.59 instead of £3.99, but it's something.

[Qazimod]

PSN is down for maintenance tomorrow evening:

Hi everyone. We wanted to take a moment to inform you of a planned network maintenance, currently scheduled for Monday, 27th January from 5.30pm to 11.30pm GMT (6.30pm to 00.30am CET). We expect this maintenance to last approximately 6 hours.

If you’ve signed in to PlayStation Network any time since 20th January you will be able to play games online and access partner apps such as Netflix during this maintenance period. The PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home and Account Management will not be available during this time, and users may receive a maintenance notification when attempting to access these services.

[Uncle Mike]

Fucking idiots.

[Sng]

It's not that bad. You'll still be able to play online as usual.

[Garibaldi]

If it helps stability then I'm all for it. PSN+ seems to have far more to offer than XBL but the store is so damn flaky in comparison.

[trashnaut]

Anyone else having trouble with it today? It logs in on the XMB but then as soon as I fire up Dark Souls/Netflix/anything it logs out.

[Camel]

Been doing that for me for a couple of days now. Every time I start Netflix I get logged out of psn.

[boxoctosis]

Fucking idiots.

Calm your tits.

[mr_woo]

Quick question folks, if my friend and I want to split the cost of a PS3 coop game and I buy it on my machine and let him download it with my account on his machine we can both play the game at the same time cant we ? Especially as it's within the 2 PS3 system limit as well. Just wanted folks experience on sharing games with friends/family

[Yobo Ahoy]

Should be ok. I let my brother ponce my PS+ account to download stuff and he plays it under his own account. I haven't tried co-op but I reckon it will be ok - although there's bound to be a couple of games with DRM issues (Final Fight springs to mind but not sure how many others have done it).

(EDIT: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/927750-playstation-3/68262956 seems to suggest all will be rosy in terms of co-op as long as you stick to the 2 PS3 limit. Sorted!)

[Osito]

The ME3 DLC is finally discounted.

Is any of it not worth it? Thinking I'll probably get it all and Arrival for ME2.

[Jimmy Shedders]

I've not played it yet myself but apparently the Omega DLC for ME3 isn't that good.

I loved Leviathan and the Citadel though!

[Radish]

Omega is ok, but has no impact on the world or "main" story at all. It comes to a decent resolution but then it's like everyone forgets about it and the world is back to how it was before. It's pretty forgettable.

[Osito]

A quick look at youtube suggests the same as above; From Ashes and Omega aren't worth it, whereas The Citadel and Leviathan are much better and worth getting.

[Yobo Ahoy]

A pretty damn good sale on at the moment, used it to pick up a few PSN games I've wanted for ages but didn't fancy paying full whack for.

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014/03/05/new-playstation-store-deals-god-war-rain-uncharted/

Blood Dragon, Tokyo Jungle and Noby Noby Boy for just shy of a tenner. Can't complain!

Also all you Vita guys should buy Jacob Jones & The Bigfoot Mystery just because it's only 80p.

[rafaqat]

Hmm Uncharted 2 for £6. I've only ever played the 3rd one and quite enjoyed it.

[Pekoe]

Recommend Rain for peeps who enjoyed Brothers and Ico.

[Paulando]

Uncharted 2 is to Uncharted 3 what Aliens is to Alien 3.

[dreamylittledream]

A quick look at youtube suggests the same as above; From Ashes and Omega aren't worth it, whereas The Citadel and Leviathan are much better and worth getting.

From Ashes is both evil and essential. Evil because its not really DLC - its content that was deliberately cut from the original game to have day one DLC. Essential because without it you miss out on one of the best characters in the ME story. The mission itself is mediocre - but you really wouldn't want to play ME3 without Javik in your team.

[gospvg]

Recommend Rain for peeps who enjoyed Brothers and Ico.

Tell me more more I'm looking forward to playing Brothers, really enjoyed Journey but keep tearing my hair out when playing iCO.

[oldteadrinker]

Also all you Vita guys should buy Jacob Jones & The Bigfoot Mystery just because it's only 80p.

Done! Quick google and it looks intriguing

[Mortis]

Also all you Vita guys should buy Jacob Jones & The Bigfoot Mystery just because it's only 80p.

71p if you're a PS+ subscriber - would be rude not to at that price.

[Yobo Ahoy]

I loved it. Ulterior motive to plugging it - it's only chapter one (so fairly short), but there's been no sign of chapter two so I'm hoping if sales start to pick up they'll take notice. Plus it's the ex-Bizarre guys so support your local dev and all that.

[Vin]

Blood Money is now mine.

Can't remember if Silent Assassin and Contracts are worth a damn. Tempting for the price, though.

[Kryptonian]

I wish PS3 games worked on the Vita. Unless they do but no one ever said.

Contracts is surprisingly good.
