Just a reminder that Transistor is on PS+ for PS4 this month. It's coming to Vita and its confirmed there will be cross buy so add it to your account for PS4 to get it free when it arrives on Vita.

When did they announce Transistor for Vita?, I know they talked about Bastion on PS4 and Vita this year...

Hi all, I've been checking out the vita recently and wondering if any of you have first hand experience of the remote play feature from actually outside your home network. This would be a great feature I could use and would definitely seal the deal if it was actually manageable and not just a gimmick that's hit'n'miss.

Bastion is really suited to the Vita, the art style is beautiful and will look really well on the old OLED screens, great little game.

Hey...just wondering. I got PSN+ a couple months ago, have paid for a year. I've "purchased" all games that have come out for free for subscribers since I started, but as of now, have only downloaded the ones for PS4. I haven't downloaded the PS3 or Vita games (since my sister has my 3 and my Vita hasn't arrived in the post yet). Would I still be able to claim, download and play games from previous months? I can still play all the other games from previous months, such as Binding of Isaac Rebirth on the 4 which was the first free game I played. Just wondering if games have to be downloaded during their set month for them to count.

Cool. What good games were given for free during 2014, so I can feel pissed at myself for not having + then?

Toh theres lots, the American list is here and I'm almost sure they were the same for Europe.

A few standout ones for me were, SteamWorld digg, Hotline Miami, velocity 2x, luftrausers and Limbo

Is there a decent cover for this that makes it more ergonomic for playing PS4 games remotely?
Also what size of a memory card does one need for say the last years worth of PS Vita free games? Are we talking 8GB or 64GB or what lads and ladies?

Not sure about your first question , personally If I had the cash I'd go with the 64GB Card.

Stay away from Nyko, that damn thing nearly went on fire on me, they are known to overheat.

I bought a vita and absolutely love it, gonna try and work through as many indie games as I can.
Playing spelunky at the moment and its a real throw back to what arcade games were like in my youth.. Every life you have is precious.

Just ordered a Vita Slim with The Adventure mega pack (8GB Memory Card, Tearaway, Uncharted, Gravity Rush etc), Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster and a Travel Case for €220. Seemed quite reasonable for whats included I could have saved a few quid going Amazon.fr but Im too impatient. Cant wait to get my hands on it! Ill scour the planet for a 64GB card eventually.

No need to scour, just go with VGP or Play Asia.

Got this in Smyths today lads. Was told it's just a slightly older model. The model number appears to be PCH-1003. Was it as good a bargain for €50 as I think? Came with a 4 gig memory card.

Yep fairly decent price. That one has a better screen than the newer ones,I think.

Great find! Which Smyths was it out of interest?

The Jervis St branch was chock full on Tue when the sale broke, I just emptied them of Hexbug sets and legged it!

Navan. That was the last one. Only went out on the shelf this morning. I was in there Wednesday but it wasn't out because they were waiting on a charger for it.

Charger was missing so the charger they gave me is a universal one.

I got my son three games for it. Jak and Daxter trilogy (€10), Lego Harry Potter (€5) and Mod Nation Racers (€5). Dunno if they are any good.
