    I picked up GTA Chinatown Wars on the sale, I love that game, I would love to see a remake of that.

    Long shot but has anyone bought the
    E-house Matte Hand Grip with L2 R2 Trigger Buttons on AliExpress?

    https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32823680414.html

    Looking to buy something to play PS1 & PS4 games properly :/

    I bought it. Great buy. Think I paid about €30 on playasia. Been a long while ago though so I can't really remember.

    It's very comfortable and does help for ps1 games.

    Not always that great for ps4 though other than being more comfy to hold.

    As far as I can figure out this is because the ps4 maps buttons to the various touch pads which you can't change.

    Pain in the ass. That said maybe I'm doing it wrong.

    I wouldn't be without it to be honest. Great device which solves some but not all problems.

    Other than Amazon.jp, does anyone know of any places selling the Vita or PS TV nowadays?

    Try adverts if you don't mind second hand. It's where I got mine.

    Sorry but its far from dead!

    Aw that's cute :)

    I think for all intents and purposes the vita is dead. It might have more units out in the wild than the switch but I'd say there's only a tiny minority actively buying games for the system now. We will get a few Japanese digital ports and indies this year but I doubt the system will be alive and vibrant and everything coming to the system will be available on other platforms.

    I'd say this is the last year we will see releases on it, maybe outside of a few brave indies or VNs.

    Hi Folks,

    I've been late to the party and only just got myself a refurb PS4 from GameStop after Christmas. My mate has recommended getting a PS Vita for remote play. It's probably not something I'd use for playing outside the house as I drive to work so don't have a train/bus journey. At €100 in GameStop it's a pretty decent price and would come in for plane journeys etc.

    Would you recommend it?

    You need a good internet connection for remote play so doubt you'll be doing it on plane journeys. Still a pretty decent library of Vita, PS1 and PSP games on the system to keep you going for a very long time. Only concern is if you want to play PS1 games only buy stuff digital stuff from a US account, don't bother with a euro one. PS1 games on the EU store are garbage 50 Hz ports and switching accounts on the Vita is a pain in the backside.

    Can I ask where you're buying games digitally for the Vita? When I search the PS Store I'm getting very few returns and none of the big titles. I've heard you can buy PS One, PS2 games for it... where?

    Well I plan on getting a Vita tonight so I'd like to be able to browse beforehand and see what's available. In regards to the PS2 titles, can I see what's available? There's nothing I specifically want, it's more a case of I'll see a game and want to buy it.

    I started with memories of celceta. Really good fun.

    Bought VIII last week and loving it as well. Very similar gameplay but seems to be bigger.

    Both are fun, memories of celceta should be cheap enough now.

    Ye it's down to €20. I'm going through all my vita games, mainly from ps+ over the last 3-4 years to see what I've missed out on. My ps4 time has dwindled so I think my vita might be my main console for the next few months.

    I loved memories of Celcelta. It was my first Ys game so I’ve a LOT to catch up on in the series.

    I bought Origins in a sale not so long ago so it’s my next RPG after I finish off Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U.

    Yes I own both failed systems in the Vita and the Wii U. Both are severely underrated!!!

    I'm currently enjoying Salt and Sanctuary on the vita. It doesn't run quite as well as on the PS4, but it's much easier to play this portably then on the console so I don't mind.
