Japan only?!

Archive: 22 posts


I am very frustrated. I have been waiting for months for an LBP VITA demo before realese in US. Well I just found out that Japan already has one and US. Won't get one until realease. I can't download because I have a US. PSN and, on a stupid move by sony, you can't change accounts without wiping memory. So i am just wondering why sony would be so inconsiderate to other countries. Don't get me wrong, I love playstation, I am just sick of the region exclusive features on vita. I know that this can't be helped, I am just wondering why? Someone please get this to sony in hopes that they can right their wrong, because sub accounts can't contact sony. 2012-09-10 21:55:00

I do agree that it's too bad we didn't get a demo,But it's nothing too surprising,Japan always gets stuff first to test out...

edit: what time is it at the moment where you are?

No, it will probably update close to the official release date depending on where you are

I'm pretty sure that Japan was not included in the LBPV beta, which means they got screwed a lot worse than anybody else in the first place. A demo isn't much more than a consolation prize.

Remember: In a month's time, you won't care who had what first. You will be playing the game and having fun instead.

I just followed the Netflix trick to download the demo, but obviously logged in with my JP account instead:

How to get Netflix on a UK Vita (http://mentalgamers.com/2012/02/how-to-us-netflix-on-a-uk-vita/)

Make sure you backup your profile with Content Manager first though, as a recent patch has made it so you now need to format your memory card before attempting to log in to the store with a different account. This also means you'll have to play the demo on your JP account, as it won't be available once you restore your old profile.

But hey, not long to go now!

Well now, I am! And I find it hard to believe I was nearly pulling my hair out over what I didn't have.

This thread is a bit outdated (and quite stale) so I'm going to lock it. Also, don't forget to avoid double-posting.
