waiting to update..

Oh lawdy lawdy!

Folders!

That's been my biggest niggle with the Vita so far, Having 6 games on the little cards, a good 5 or 6 full retail games off PS+ and a bunch of PSN games like Super Stardust HD, i have about 6 pages and it's pretty annoying.

Especially when alot of it is default things like the email, twitter and facebook apps which i personally very rarely use.

Good to see Vita is still being supported and getting improvements, long may it continue, GG Sony! =)

Edit: Where is the Netflix app for the UK out of curiosity? I can't seem to find it and Ntflix would be perfect on the go.

Yea Folders were standard on Windows 95....Not sure how Sony could have screwed that up. Luckily that is only of the only bad things about Vita.

guitarded774051d ago

I want streaming, and support for secure WPA so I can use online on campus.

lovegames7184051d ago

despair4051d ago

nah just a shameless product(website) plug :)

Donnieboi4051d ago (Edited 4051d ago )

Bet u never even had your psn registered to one. Stop lying.

GamerzElite4051d ago

true bro but its not like PS3. on PS3 you can create and use multiple accounts but with Vita has limit only 1. Am I right dude. I have 7 accounts on PS3.

LackTrue4K4051d ago

@ gamerelite, a personal question. Why would you have 7 dam accounts?!? Or do you mean you have other people's account info? :/

despair4051d ago (Edited 4051d ago )

you really shouldn't say things like that when your PSN name is in your profile, quite simple to check and see if you got even 1 PSV game trophy(or played any of the games as 0% shows if you played the game but got no trophies). Guess what the answer is.

edit: just saw your reply, my bad lmao.

Donnieboi4051d ago (Edited 4051d ago )

@GamerzElite:

So if it's true that u lied, then why did u do it? What is the point of this foolishness? U ought to be labelled a troll.

Oldman1004051d ago

This is true. It was so big I had to manure around it.

Cam9774051d ago

7? I have 3 and that is too many, infact, I'm seeking a buyer for my PS1 classics account.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 15h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 6h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow16h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney10h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii1d 11h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 10h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
