Same here. Started Hard and trying to find all the treasures but I'm still missing some. I'll need a guide.

my one gripe w/ Uncharted is the treasure system. there's like 300 treasures and no matter how hard i look in a given Chapter, i cant find them all. i just dont understand how im missing them. also, i missed a TON of treasures in the early chapters b/c i just didnt understand how to look for them or what they were exactly.

Aren't some obtained by doing certain things? I know I've also picked up some treasures from Near/Black market.

Well, yesterday I went to my supplier.

Initially wanted to pick up Rayman Origins and Wipeout 2048.

He was out of stock for Wipeout.

I managed to pick up the last, that's right, last copy of Rayman. Wipeout will be available on 8th, same day as Mass Effect 3

Still haven't got the time to play it. But my friend is coming by in an hour or so, so I'll try it out, and share my thoughts

I just bought Little Deviants from PSN. I played the demo and really liked it, certainly different to the other games I've played.

I like how the trial games are locked full versions like the apps and games on Windows Phone.

Only some of them are full games and requires the 100kb unlock download.

Curious to hear what you think. About to play some more myself now, although part of me is thinking of finally checking out Hot Shots Golf, I just am hesitant to have so many games going at once, as I will never finish any of them.

Rayman is definitely the one you should try first ! But hot shots golf is good too.

Kiss a bunch of your time good bye if you start playing HSG! :laugh: I played it like 5 days straight without touching anything else.

In fact, I've pretty much just been playing my Vita since I got it a week and a half ago. I've neglected SWTOR and SSX because of it lol. I just got Rayman and Uncharted in the mail, so I'm excited to dig in to those 2 games. I started the first few levels of Rayman and I'm having a good time. Will start Uncharted later tonight since my wife wants to watch me play.

Oh no doubt, I have started Rayman actually, been playing it for a good few nights. Loving it. I already know I will like, more likely than not love, HSG, as I have liked all of the earlier ones, so that is my game I go to when there is nothing left to play, if I ever reach that point, as I now have Unit 13 and MLB the Show 12 coming from Gamefly.

:laugh: Same here with neglecting everything else. I checked out SSX on Saturday, and just wind up not digging it that much and picking up the Vita. It is absolutely right now my go-to gaming device.

And would like to chime in I decided to check out the Mod Nation Racers demo since I downloaded it the other night. Truly a stinker and I see why it is getting such bad reviews. Atrocious frame rates at times. It is a prime example of a game that was created just for launch IMHO.

Anyone else experiencing Game Goods in Near saying they have a long expiration time than they actually do? Before I had something from Hustle Kings that said an expiration date of 10 days, went to download it and it gave me the no longer available message. It is about the 4th time it has happened out of at least 20+ times or so. So it is not a common occurrence but it has happened. Literally every time I start up the Vita I have at least 3 new game goods. I swear I have to have every song on the Stardust soundtrack twice by now.

As time goes on, I get more impressed with the Vita. I truly do. It really has done exactly what I was hoping it would for my situation, and that is offer me more gaming time. I put a headphone in one ear, watch TV with my wife, and all is good. :shiftyninja: :rofl:

Okay, spend some time playing Rayman.

First off, this thing is a beauty. Seriously. I mean, this game has everything a platformer must have. Fantastic gameplay, one of THE best art design I have seen in the games, the awesome animation which is smooth and silky, an awesome sound track and .... much more.

This game is seriously awesome. Anyone who has a Vita owes it to himself to try this out.

The level design is great too. It gets challenging as you progress, and will give you some real tough times at some points.

Anybody played it in Co-Op mode? I heard its great fun.

Another friend of mine is getting his Vita tomorrow. I'll check it out too.

Oh and whats the player limit on Co-Op? 2 or 4?

Oh and did I mention that it is hilarious too?

Many a times, I found myself laughing out loud. (Y)

Does CO-OP mode exist for the Vita version? I thought they took it out.

Unlike the console version, Rayman Origins on the PS Vita has no co-op mode, which is strange given the handheld is more than capable of supporting multiplayer.

Players will have to make do with a ghost mode which allows them a chance to obtain timed achievements.

Cons

  • Doesn't use the full potential of the PS Vita, especially with the touchscreen component.
  • Co-op removed from PS Vita version.

Bottom Line

Fans of good old-fashioned 2D side-scroll platformers will appreciate Rayman Origins in their PS Vita games collection. The title looks and feels great on the new Sony portable console although a lack of co-op multiplayer is a bit of a disappointment.

So I have rented Unit 13 and MLB The Show 12 for my Vita. Have started checking out Unit 13, and I like it much, much better than the Vita. Takes a minute to get into the controls, but once one does they are actually pretty good. It is basically a Vita version of SOCOM actually. Run N Gun gets you killed real fast. So have to be pretty tactical. It is by no means a great game, but it does provide a nice little diversion. So much so I may decide to Keep It Now. Just have so many games to still play.

Will check out The Show over the weekend probably.

Funny thing is that I picked up MLB The Show for Vita, but I don't have a Vita yet... I hear it's good (if you're a baseball fan). Sony was doing a $20 off deal if you buy the PS3 and Vita versions together. Couldn't resist. Now I just have to buy a Vita.

The PS3 version is really good.

Gonna check out Unit 13 soon. The damn demo made my Vita crash, have you had any issues with the proper retail version?

BTW I added you on PSN but you haven't accepted or declined. Just thought I'd let you know in case you missed it.

I got both and have only tried the Vita version so far. I'm enjoying playing RttS. Graphics aren't the greatest but gameplay is pretty awesome.

Super Stardust is a must buy I would say (my favorite twin stick shooter). For 10 bucks it's a great game and if you like score chasers then this will definitely be a game you'd enjoy (they do have a demo for it as well if you want to try it out).

By the way anyone who plays SSD feel free to add me, it's probably the game I play the most right now as I do a fair bit at work. :shiftyninja:

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
