Tomorrow, PlayStation Vita launches across the PAL regions and here is the full list of what will be available to download when PlayStation Store is live on the system later this evening. We believe that the PS Vita launch line-up is the strongest in PlayStation history and this list of games and other content, some of which is completely free, is testament to that.
Don’t forget that if you already own Hustle Kings, Top Darts or Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom DLC on PS3, you can also use it on your PS Vita at no extra charge.
1Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:03 pm by TehPhilosopher Any hope that we’ll get comics store back in the near future, and be able to re-download comics that we bought? Vita’s screen would be perfect for comics.
It’s not an endorsement for digital downloads when Sony has a history of pulling the plug on a service, with the result that we can’t use the content we paid good money for!
And I know I can still download the comics with the PC app, but I can’t view them on the PC, so they are useless: I’m selling my PSP Go to fund my Vita purchase. There’
2Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:04 pm by European_Gamer Is the store being updated later today so we can download the games when we get the Vita tomorrow morning?
6Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:07 pm by Si_85 Why is ModNation dearer than on the USA PS Store?? There it’s the same price as Little Deviants etc, in the LOWEST retail game price point. Here it’s in the medium price point??
8Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:08 pm by Scubafinch @Si_85 I second that. It’s about time we had Australian prices on the blog updates. If anything it’ll emphasise the pricing disparity (and we can then import from the UK anyway).
10Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:09 pm by DJbruce92 Can you use the foursquare app on the wifi only Vita or is it for the 3G version?
11Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:09 pm by Hell-Raiser-85 My Vita came today from amazon Whats the eta on the store going live? Would be good if you could add the size of each game.
12Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:10 pm by Omikaru #5 Foursquare is location-based social networking (in a nutshell). Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foursquare_(website)
Can we use Media Go to download this stuff onto our PC, and transfer from there, or will I need to download this on my PS3 if I want everything downloaded and ready to go when I pick up my Vita at 4pm tomorrow?
13Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:10 pm by H3KingHawk prices are not good whatsoever, there is just no incentive to buy digital! £45 for fifa is ridiculous!
15Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:10 pm by Erroneus So much for a fair pricing of full digital games. Thank KB for physical media.
16Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:11 pm by Opt1mus76 Gutted I won’t have Vita for little while (my wallet still bruised from the festive period) but can I download any of this via PS3 until I have Vita? Would like to have MS:RC’
18Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:12 pm by guitardevil6 Excellent! Definitely getting Motorstorm RC, maybe even Hustle Kings. But what is the DLC for Uncharted? I’ve only got Rayman to play at the moment, but do have Uncharted on order.
19Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:13 pm by Kotatsu2000 Really quite absurd to price digital versions of games higher than physical media versions. Uncharted is £37 on Amazon on LAUNCH DAY. The price will drop soon after and continue until it’s in the bargain bin, at which point the digital price will seem even more farcical.
If you were in any way serious about digital distribution, you’d have taken the giant cut which is normally wasted on distribution, manufacturing, and retail, and sliced it clean off the digital price. That would have made Uncharted somewhere around the £15 mark.
The only platform to have got digital pricing right is iOS, and that’s because it never had to deal with old fashioned discs and cartridges and the parasitic retailers who sell them.
22Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:15 pm by INS1GHTFUL Can u give more details about the uncharted and motor storm dlc? What is it exactly we are getting?
Ps! I thought prices on the store would be more reasonable for games. I’ll be buying boxed games all the way (aside from motor storm and stardust).
23Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:15 pm by Si_85 Am I missing something or are we also not receiving a 10% discount on digital games like the Americans??
29Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:17 pm by DKShadow #16, sure, you can download now and store on the PS3 until you get your Vita. I currently have 7 Vita games on the PS3 waiting for my Vita.
30Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:18 pm by Bumblebee As much as I’m looking forward to getting my Vita… those prices are much more than I was hoping!
“Don’t forget that if you already own Hustle Kings, Top Darts or Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom DLC on PS3, you can also use it on your PS Vita at no extra charge.”
Any word on when we get our codes for our pre-order discount… and if I’ve selected the Super Stardust one, does that mean the “bundle” version or normal? Or either? ‘Cause I don’t want to be shafted on DLC later, otherwise I’d have picked Escape Plan.
31Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:18 pm by Wraxend I thought the whole point of having the games on the PSN store was that you could sell them cheaper because its just a download. But when I see Uncharted for £40 on there and look at somewhere like Amazon and its £37 I feel like its Sony doing the same old one step forward two steps back all over again.
32Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:18 pm by Plambey also, i agree with what Kotatsu2000 said in post 19. there is a clear difference in cost to companies between packaging and distriubuting physical copies of the games, and making them available digitally. this saving should, in part, be passed on to the loyal customers who continue to buy your games. bit disappointed with the prices tbh, Motorstorm about the only game to get it right.
34Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:19 pm by MaikelSteneker @16: Motorstorm RC is also a PS3 game, so you should be able to download the DLC for that to your PS3 regardless.
As for other Vita content, I assume you can access everything from the PS3 Store. The whole idea of this early Store update is that you can download everything you want in advance, so you only have to copy it to your Vita as soon as you get it.
36Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:21 pm by Kmillelos Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to my vita like i can’t explain, but the Digital prices for games is terrible, what happened to the whole, cheaper digitally to offset the cost of the memory cards?!?!?
38Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:24 pm by oaklandm So how come in the US they get discounted price if they buy the games from PSN but we are charged RRP?
Evolution said that the PS3 version of this title is a standalone edition, will downloading/buying this copy entitle/download the PS3 copy at the same time?
40Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:24 pm by mr_xzibit what about super stardust delta James. Is it cross platform like motorstorm rc?? Playable on ps3?
41Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:25 pm by DeathroW22 £44.99 for a portable game in 2012 is a great way for you to ruin this opportunity for success. It simply will not sell at that price.
Sony are in for a big surprise if they believe these prices will help keep this system from going under. I have a Vita on the way and have bought WipEout 2048 in physical form already (£30).
I was encouraged by the statements from various Sony people which were implying they were taking digital downloads more seriously, learning from the mistakes of the PSP and more recently the PSPGo. But little here has changed, other than they have had their first parties create one or two games at a decent price.
44Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:28 pm by CoolDust Sorry but those prices are a joke! Digital games should be priced cheaper than retail games, not the same or MORE!! I cant wait to get my Vita but theres no way in hell i will be paying £40+ for games on the store when you can get the physical version for £30-£35. (Those prices are already too steep…)
45Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:28 pm by Plambey @DKShadow #36 at cool thanks! damn you! i’ve my vita atm an really wanted to play RC! not long to wait i suppose!
48Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:35 pm by SirTodge That so many people do not understand why digital releases of retail games cannot be much cheaper is a little saddening. The retailers will NOT stock consoles if they are going to be undercut on games.
49Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:35 pm by k1s3k1 lol @ the prices.. dvd.co.uk, zavvi sell the retail copies at much cheaper price.. everyone should boycott the digital download versions..
50Posted on 21 February, 2012 at 12:37 pm by SirTodge Also, was that the first confirmation of Plants Vs Zombies and Mutant Blobs Attack for the EU at all? let alone Launch day?
