Decided to use the discount for a bunch of Tales of DLC that I wanted, Bayonetta so that I have all Platinum games on the PS 3 and Tales from the Borderlands Season Pass for PS 4.

I grabbed Transistor and took advantage of the Flash sale to get myself Resogun.

Will the slimline be more or less expensive than the original on release?
I'd assume so, but it'd be better not to bank on it until we're sure it isn't just a rumor.

Sorry, but you didn't answer my question. More, or less expensive? What's been the historical trend with the P Sone, P Stwo and P Sthree?

Try cross referencing the price-points against the release dates of later models. That should give you a pretty good idea.

Clearly the price will be better according to those links. Thanks.

Does anyone know about my SSHD question? Incidentally, what storage solutions are people currently using on their PS 4?

Tried to find what you are looking for. I know they do do a 3.5" 2 Terabyte SSHD, but I haven't been able to find one in the smaller format. They do make a 2.5" HDD, but that doesn't have the fancy cache of solid state memory you may be looking for.

All Samsung hard drives are now made by Seagate, in case you are wondering about the second link.

[up]Spotify, in my experience, is way better than music unlimited, so yay!

I like spotify because i pay the price of a sandwich every month to get all of the music.

Yes, I measure most of my costs in sandwiches and packs of gum

Thief for me. Now if only I could get my dad to finish Uncharted 3 so I can clear up room to actually play the rest of the PS+ Library that I've built up...

I might as well get Transistor since I remember everyone was excited for it and hey, it's free now.

As usual I'll get everything besides Vita-only content, but damn do I ever have a backlog to wade through on my PS 3... and I can't really even start for two weeks because I've got exams coming up. Only got 100GB left on my 1TB HDD. Will start with demos first.

Thanks to the PS 4 sales, Sony as a whole has finally reached the point of profitability. The only division that did badly was the mobile division (which, if I recall, is getting cut off soon).

Sony really needs to cut their losses with the Vita though.

They really don't, the vita is actually doing very well in Japan with more games coming out this month than any other console combined and really it could get a huge boost with a few western non-indi titles.

It's been out for three years now with even the 3DS moving sluggishly due to the Smartphone and Tablet market, there will be no turn around for the Vita.

Well, no one said anything about bouncing back (that would be unreasonable). I think the point being made was that the Vita isn't necessarily worth cutting off.

And just to get this out there: for the year as a whole, they reported a $1.4 billion loss. So they aren't out of the woods yet.

#2147: Feb 4th 2015 at 1:33:16 PM

Yeah, the Vita hardware is actually profitable due to the low cost of it's components. If there were some serious killer apps, plus the fact of Remote Play I might be tempted to get one. Eventually. Not as a priority over the PS 4. Not right now.

^ Pretty much my feeling towards the Vita. There just no games I really must play on it. There's a few I'd get if I had a Vita, mind. Wipeout whateveritscalledthistime, and that Gravity... something looked like fun.

#2149: Feb 4th 2015 at 1:48:24 PM

Same here. I did get a few "known classics" on PS+ such as the MGS 2&3 bundle (although the fact that I have MGS 3 DS weakens that factor) and obviously all the cross-buy stuff. But it does beg the question, if I can play it on PS 3/4, do I really need to play it on the go? My work commute isn't enough for more than a few minutes of playtime, and on longer journeys I'd be more inclined to surf the net on my phone or play on the 3DS. So again, not a big USP for me.

#2150: Feb 4th 2015 at 1:54:43 PM

Come to think of it, all the Vita stuff saved on my PS 3 is basically dead weight. I'll either back it up onto an external or delete it for now, can always get it again in the future. Especially with Yakuza 3 clocking in at a wince-inducing 22GB... surprised
