Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention is the first RPG for the PlayStation Vita, and will be coming to the portable console in this April. However, the game is a port of the PlayStation 3 version, but it will be equipped with new character stories, new systems, new attack levels, new bosses, and will include all the DLC that was released for the PS3 version, all on one card.
Last week, Sony and AT&T revealed the pricing for using 3G on your PlayStation Vita, but no pricing plans have yet been revealed by Vodafone – the preferred 3G carrier for the PS Vita in Europe. There are rumours going around of a Dutch PlayStation Community Manager saying a 3G Vita will come with €20 of credit on the SIM and a simple top-up of the same amount will be enough to get you a download of WipEout 2048.
With only a few weeks to go until the PlayStation Vita launches in Europe, retailers are starting to lure customers with pre-order offers. Amazon.co.uk are enticing gamers with a very attractive offer, giving away a 8GB memory card for free and one of six games for £15. If you already pre-ordered from Amazon, don’t worry – you are entitled to the same offer.
If you have pre-ordered your PlayStation Vita already, you may be interested in knowing how much the games are going to cost you. The folks over at TheSixthAxis have compiled a list of retail prices for the UK launch line-up. Of course, these are just the guide price so you may be able to find some of the games for cheaper.
Sony and AT&T have revealed the price plans that will be available to US owners of the 3G-enabled Vita. Originally, a 2GB data plan was announced for $25 per month, but this has now been replaced with a new 3GB data plan for $30 per month. A cheaper plan for $15 per month offers only 250MB of data.
If you are still deciding what size memory card to get for your PlayStation Vita, the below information may help you decide. We’ve collected information on various PS Vita titles to see how much space each one takes if downloaded from the PlayStation Store. In short – the bigger the memory card, the better.
If you are still undecided about getting a PlayStation Vita, you can now try the portable console out in GAME and Gamestation station stores across the UK (over 600 stores combined). Yesterday, I was able to play Uncharted: Golden Abyss at a Gamestation store in Coventry city.
With less than a month to go until the launch of PlayStation Vita, Sony have announced two PS Vita 3G/WiFi bundles. If you were one of the lucky consumers to pre order the PS Vita First Edition Bundle, you will get all the bonuses previously announced, but Sony will also include an AT&T DataConnect Pass good for one free 250MB session, and a PlayStation Network game.
You can turn off the system music that plays on the PS Vita by going to the [Settings] App and selecting [Sound & Display] unchecking the [System Music] option. This will stop the music playing on the main PS Vita menu system, but not within other apps.
