So apprently psn will be down for three days this week? I read it will be from the 14th through the 16th , makes me wonder what's happening when you take into consideration that Qgames said that PJMD will be playable on vita by the 15th. Probably nothing major but three days seems strange.

[JJD]

Got my back touch screen protector thing, suddenly remember why I hate putting these things on, one bit of dust and you might as well throw the whole thing out.

This happened to me...still need to buy a new one... :-(

I had a quick look on the blogs (Europe and US) but didn't find anything. Where did you read about the downtime dude?

There are lots of great games on PSN from the PSP, my only issue really is the games that are not on the store at all, and that I wish were so that I could get them onto my PSV. I'm hoping that Sony will push to get more PSP games added to PSN eventually.

I don't really see that happening. From what I understand, it is mostly a licensing matter when it comes to why those games weren't on psn to begin with. I can't see a publisher renegotiating those agreements to put old PSP games up at the point. There simply wouldn't be enough sales to make it worth the time/effort/money.

[Respawn]

wtf too much :(

You're in the wrong hobby.

anyone get an email for a Vita survey?

I got one several days ago that offered me entry into a contest for a $50 PSN card, so I just took it.

Yep. It actually had a couple weirdly formatted questions in it also.

Looks like four hours a day for three days, if the machine-translated comments are correct. I am starting to wonder if Sony got nailed by that nasty Oracle SCN bug, where the only fix is to rebuild every connected database from backups.

let's hope I win, all they said was "entry" :p

Well I'm assuming the survey is for Vita owners so your chances are high :p lol

[Ollie Pooch]

umvc3 is good. Rayman is better. Better than uncharted, better than Ninja Gaiden SP, better than all the other launch titles imo. Addictive, pick up and play and easily playable in long terms too. Get it if you like platformers, get it if you dont like platformers dammit.

Second this - Origins is fantastic, one of my favourite games in years and one of the best platformers I've ever played. Just platinum'd it two nights ago - the speed trophies really show how good the level design is.

On another note, Sony really need to polish up the store experience - particularly getting minis to run/download. The vita still seems really disconnected from the rest of the PlayStation "family" - I want to play Velocity dammit! Hopefully some announcements along those lines at E3.

[urge26]

Amazon MK deal reeled me in..... didn't want to invest in another gaming system, but hey what the hell (had some Amazon credit to burn).

Got Unit 13 and Valkyria Chronicles II off PSN, Unit 13 is perfect for this system, having a blast with it so far. Very impressed with Mortal Kombat too, graphic haters be damned.

Persona 3 portable is great. I only played through halfway of 3 and 4 on the PS2, and the Tartarus dungeon is perfect for a portable. Also, the adventure game style cursor saves so much getting around time.

I never owned a PSP, and this digital backwards compatibility is really something else. Nintendo should really do this with the Virtual Console...

[KillGore]

So guys, I've never been able to get remote play to work when connecting on a network outside my home, it only works inside my own private network. I set my PS3 to be "on" at all times, but it seems worthless when I can't even log in outside my network. I've tried it in a couple of network and no luck yet. Am I alone in this? what am I doing wrong?

[jbug617]

PSN had a couple of great fighting games. I bought Darkstalkers, Guilty Gear and I will probably buy Alpha 3 Max and Powerstone.

I mostly use my Vita to play those and MLB.

My Vita won't even connect unless I turn on my PS3 first. I can then remote turn off/on the PS3 from the Vita for a little while but by the next day my PS3 won't respond to my Vita again.

[Cudder]

Finally got the Uncharted bounties done! Ill get the platinum after I'm finished with Unit 13.

That's weird, I wonder if it's just us or a Sony fuck-up. Would love to hear other's experience with remote play.

[Cudder]

Oh and whyyyy does it take like 20 minutes to transfer 80 pics from the ps3 to Vita? Unreal man.

[FireCloud]

That's weird, I wonder if it's just us or a Sony fuck-up. Would love to hear other's experience with remote play.

Remote play and remote start have been working fine for me. Though I usually only use it to queue up downloads while someone else is using the TV.

Seems more responsive than remote play with the PSP but that may just be because I haven't used the PSP in awhile.


BTW, I just finished Golden Abyss for the first time. I played on hard difficulty without too much, um ..., difficulty. It did take me awhile to get used to the gyro aiming.

Is there somewhere, in game, where I can view my stats; play time, headshots, kills by weapon, etc? I thought I had found it once but couldn't find it just now.

So you use it on your home only? have you tried it on another network, while your PS3 is at your house?

works for me...

So both work for you? (inside your home and being somewhere else with the Vita)


I just don't understand what's wrong then. Thanks guys.

[petethepanda]

Are there Vita slip cases like this PSP one available anywhere? The hard case with the FEB is nice and all but for everyday walking around I'd love to have something minimal-but-protective like this.

Using Remote Play over the internet is a bit tricky. Try putting your PS3 in the DMZ for your router, try turning on upnp on your router (or, if it's on, turning it off). If your PS3 is behind two routers, like it's on a wifi bridge or something like that, you'll have a lot more trouble. Keep in mind the lag is usually a lot worse when you're going over the internet, so you might not be missing a whole lot.

Yep. keep in mind i may run into the problem of being able to shut it down but when i wanna use it again i cant use remote play unless i turn it on again regularly.

Eva Protection Carrying Case

That right there is what I use and for the price it's MORE than enough for casual walking around. Highly recommended for the price (it's $0.79 cents with like 2.95 for shipping)

[Marcellus Wallace]

I had my Vita out in the sun today for about an hour when the screen started shaking, as if someone was just rubbing their fingers all over the touch screen. The menu pages were changing by themselves and any attempt to do anything (including powering off the unit) failed for about 5 minutes. I finally got it turned off. Scared me. Seems fine now though. I assume it was a bit hot? Has this happened to anyone else?

[RoninChaos]

I logged into my PS3 today to play Uncharted, and I noticed that none of my trophies from the vita are showing up. Neither did friends I added on my vita. WTF is this shit?

PS3 doesnt recognize Vita trophies.
Yeah it's stupid we know.

Why the fuck not? Is it that hard to make PSN a unified platform?

yeah I have that same case for PSP and loved it. I posted the vita pouch I use a page or so back and I like it (waterfield pouch) more because its more snug and doubles as a screen cleaner though it costs more. You can find the vita version of that soft pouch though at dealextreme.

[dreamer3kx]

That's Sony, they do things like this.

I have that exact same case in white and I Cary my vita in it. it does protrude slightly but it does the job.

This is what I use since I don't have a hard case. Seems to do the job

Possibly its a new Vita firmware getting pushed with some PSP emulation added for some titles like PJMD and to remove the exploit that was found to run Vita Home brew Loader a few weeks ago. Also possibly getting some more PS1 emulator stuff fixed/pushed for the inevitable Vita FW at E3 with ps1 compatibility.

Friend's I've added on Vita show up on my friends list.

They show up, but only at the bottom and their icons never stop spinning. It's weird.

It's a travesty that the official one is only available in the US as part of the starter kit. One advantage it has over the other ones is that it has a small aperture at the bottom where you can attach headphones and the usb cable without having to remove the vita from the case. Playasia has it for $25.

[CecilMcW00t]

On the subject of cases, I just received that $0.79 case from Amazon, and the first thing I did was smell it. XD

That is the strangest smell ever. Thankfully it isn't too loud of an odor.

That's very weird mine show up just like anyone else.

Can you play multiplayer in psp games running on vita ?

Yes (even Ad-Hoc party on PS3 works).

I wouldn't.

Get FFIV: Complete Collection if you haven't already.

[Lyphen]

Someone should've told me Uncharted GA was a better game than Uncharted 3. I thought I was done with the series, but Bend really did a great job taking the focus off the combat and adding new things to do. I actually really enjoy the puzzle solving, charcoal drawings and massive amount of collectables. Makes me feel like a treasure hunter and not some vigilante with a fancy ring and penchant for ruins.

Only faults? Not native rez and I wish you could use the rear trackpad for the menu/swipes. Aiming is probably the best I've used in any handheld or console game. Also, love how some encounters are set so you can bypass the "Uncharted wave fights" by taking out the first visible group through stealth.

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

Since I enjoyed Uncharted so much, I picked up Resistance: Retribution and I'm about halfway through it. Man, Sony Bend are fucking awesome. They deserve better than being stuck with side-story spinoff games =(

I really, really, really wish they would put this back up on NA PSN... I've wanted to play it on my Vita since February - sort of as a prequel to this month's Vita game - but for some stupid reason SEA have decided they don't want me to give them more money for a game I already own on UMD, even though I'd do so gladly for this one...
