If you don't own a vita now but are a PS+ member and you remember to download the vita content every month so it gets added to your download list you can go out, buy this bundle and have a heap of great content waiting for you to add to your Vita.

 

 

I really hope Sony can find a way to improve Vita sales. At this point PS4/Vita bundles seem to be the only option (price drops have been ruled out)

A cool bundle for those that don't have a Vita like me. But, I thought the Vita's library was lacking? Is there anything worth playing on it? (And don't say remote play with the PS4)

 

Chicken and the egg.  There are some games worth playing, with a few more coming out (Tearaway from Media Molecule comes to mind), but get some Vita's out in gamers' hands, and more devs will make games.  

In addition to remote play, there's also a few games that essentially bundle the PS3 (or PS4) game with a Vita version as well.  MLB: The Show comes to mind.

This needs a big giant rumour posted on it as quoting some "anonymous source" is hardly FACT.

 

If this is true, the day one purchasers are getting screwed badly.

 

That being said I'd be much more willing to buy this bundle than the PS4 by itself.

Still not sold. There's simply no games I'm interested in on the Vita that I either couldn't play somewhere else, buy cheaper elsewhere or play a "full" version rather than a portable spin off.

 

I've been downloading all the Vita games on PS+, so I guess if it ever drops in price to something I think is acceptable I'll be set up with something to play.

I'm only considering buying one to play Persona 4 Golden which isn't available on any other system.

Got my interest.  Hope that it is true.  I'd go for that.  I've been eying the Vita since it was released.

 

I've been gravitating towards the PS4 as my most likely next-gen console.  If the PS4 had backwards compatibility with PS3 games, then it would be a sure thing since I currently don't have a PS3 and would like to play some of the exclusive titles.

 

The XBox 360 has been great so far, don't get me wrong.  I'm mostly annoyed at the fact that Kinect for the XBox One is bundled.  I have Kinect for the 360 and it rarely gets used by anyone these days.  Its mostly an eye-sore on the entertainment center.  We had it on top of our TV but hated the "Johnny 5" look.  Now it is lower and it keeps picking up the dog tail wags as us waving at it or it "hears" it self saying "Pause" or "Stop" while we are trying to watch something (I know, we need to recalibrate).  Overall, I'd say I'm really disappointed in Microsoft's decision to bundle One with Kinect because I had already consciously dismissed the notion of getting it...  Definitely not paying extra for a peripheral that I do not want.

I think this is why there are rumors MS will include a AAA game with the XBone. I'm not really interested in the Vita, but it's a good deal. Let the battle begin ... hardball.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By monterxz · Posted

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
