Nice first topic.  Thanks, Emerald.  I went ahead and stickied this one to help get the ball rolling.  Would love to hear people's thoughts on Mobile and what's available for folks.

Re: Initial Thoughts on PSM?

As someone who came into PS Vita from iOS gaming – It's everything I've wanted out of iOS gaming. Case in point is super crate box. I thought Super Crate Box was an awesome game on the iPhone but lack of tactile controls kept it from being every thing it could be. But with this game on my vita, I have full tactile controls and an even better game.

 

I can't wait to see what developers come up with. I assume this is replacing the PS Mini's initiative? It's almost tempting me to switch from iPhone to a PS Mobile certified device... I just don't want to deal with Android :/

Re: Initial Thoughts on PSM?

I am very excited about this new service...some iOS games just scream for physical buttons!  I have not been able to check out the store yet ( At work :smileysad: )  However, it will be the first thing to do when I get home.  

 

It would be great to get some free PSM games from Vita to give people and intro to the storefornt and I think trophy support will be huge.  I know some people that would pay for trophies and honestly whatever helps the developper community on PSM I am down with.

Yeah; i can't wait for trophy support to arrive! Some games i've seen cost less than a $1.00 which is great for people on a budget.

It has potential, like Plus! Might be bad first year or so but it will come around.

Currently it is only available on a pretty small selection of "mobile" items, it is also currently only available for Android devices as well as some Sony branded & approved ones, I'm aware that it will be released to some HTC handsets soon.

 

30 games at launch is a good number though & if I had a device I could try the system out on i would!

 

However in my view until it is released much more widely then this will not succeed in the way I think & hope Sony would want it to, for example do you know how many iPad's are out there, millions, that is the market they need to go after, I'm not criticizing it at all, it was only opened up to the general public today, so i'll give it time, but in my view it does need to open up to the wider masses for it to succeed as a whole.

Re: Initial Thoughts on PSM?

It's a great way for Sony to get away from the Minis and in my own opinion think they need to drop the Minis line. They need developer support, the same developers that make some of the best iphone and android stuff. A lot of 'app' support other than games for 99 cents. 99 cents is a nice price for 'some' small games. I would like to see a barcode scanner app as others would as well. We'll see where Sony goes from here.
