"You must connect to the Internet to use content manager on the PS3 or PC."

A 32GB staring right at me. And I can't do shit with it...

If you have no other options, at the very least if you're a plus member, you can upload saves from your old card and access those with the new card once you've redownloaded all your content from the playstation store.

Hey guys I love my new Vita ^_^

For those in the UK they're doing a clearance on Vita games in Tesco.

I got Lego HP 5-7, LBP Vita and Rayman Origins brand new for £5 each today.

I'm not being able to check my friend list from the friends bubble.the message error says that they cannot connect with the server but eveything else works, like playing online, friends notifications and even the friend list from inside some games (like sonic racing). Already restarted the vita and logoff. Any suggestions?

Seems like you like platformers. I'd recommend bit.trip runner 2. It is a rhythm platformer, and something different.

Is skipping on Muramasa a mistake if I've already got Dragon's Crown and want to play it a lot more? Just worried about back-tracking and combat staleness...seems like they made nice backgrounds but I can't actually tell about the game from the videos.

Oh gosh I meant to say Tesco, fixed my post.

They had other games too like Unit 13, Lumines, Everybody's Golf, etc. for £5

Man, I checked out my local big Tesco looking for some Vita games after hearing about the £5 Tearaway deal but they just basically stock a few ps3/360/wii games and lots of movies.

Might check out one further away. Maybe I'll get lucky, or probably just call up till I find one! Thanks.

-Same issue here, Shinriji.

Don't panic. Probably a server side issue. Should resolve itself.

Looks pretty cool. Is there a demo/trial for it?

They had Tearaway there too. I was really surprised to see they had Vita games. I'd never seen them in the store before. Was odd seeing them for the first time in a clearance section :/

Which of the 3 PSX Classics would you like?
 
Would anyone be interested in joining me and a buddy on soul sac tonight around 10pm est? I'm a 99 divine that's been helping him out with some pacts for the past few nights. Would love the extra company!

Edit: We've also been playing sonic all-stars racing transformed. Love that there's some solid multiplayer games free on playstation plus!
Damn I would but I haven't even touched the online of soul sacrifice I don't even know what you do in multiplayer yet lol


Just started that and Sonic today.

Damn Flandy I was going to PM you but figured they were already gone by now. I would have picked TM. :/

Picked up my 32 gig today and just went download crazy on the psn. Now that I don't have to worry about juggling anymore I can play some Soul Sacrifice and gravity rush with my full attention.

Now to wait for BoI to hit psn and I'll be in gaming heaven.

For anyone who could care: Amazon is currently selling the 16GBS at 20dlls; you just need to buy it from the "More Buying Options" side bar. It's currently Sold-Out but i guess they will respect the price and send it as soon as available.

I know this - binding of isaac


-What should I set my hype meter to, launching Asscreed for first time? It's currently at an 8, but I reckon it should be 6-7? 5mins left on the download (nearly 3GB in total - £12.50 in Jan sale).

No internet?

If you can get it, give this a try on your PC - Open CMA - avoids internet:

http://wololo.net/downloads/index.php/download/1252

Not sure if it's compatible with the latest firmware it seems pretty recent.
"Update Content Manager on your PC"
Thanks for the attempt. But it didn't happen. Oh well... I guess I'll just have to... *sob* switch memory cards if I want to play Uncharted after playing Bit Trip Runner 2. Why is the world so cruel?

Hmm - hopefully it will work once the PSN issues are resolved? I'm guessing it's that? I've been transferring stuff a lot on my 32GB recently today.

PC has the latest version of content manager and a connection to the internet right?


-freedom wars looks good to me. Like the chains a lot. Hopefully the game holds up well. Okay AC is done I think!

Enjoy, Paskil! I got to play Saints Row 4 on a friend's super computer recently. Damn it's awesome. Nice timing after watching the independence day film. I said earlier it was bbc4, it wasn't - it was channel 4 (vita ad came on), so even better :p

Unfortunately, no. But there is a demo on ps3 and pc if you want to try before you buy.

Forget the demo though, Runner 2 is so good. Brilliant game for Vita!

Screw demos! Just buy it. I need to keep on playing and dig a bit deeper but I think I found another "perfect game". Games in that category are Spelunky. Velocity is probably on the fringe but I haven't fallen job love with it just yet.

It's funny. Because I got the game for PS+, and nothing clicked. But on Vita, it's colorful, and responsive. Just like... Everything else on Vita.

Getting a 3ds for christmas made me realize that gaming on the vita is really cheap. Cod Damn! These games are expensive. I guess I have been spoiled by all the ps+ games and deals.

How does Ape Escape On The Loose play on Vita? I played the PSP game way back when it came out and I don't remember having any control issues, but does playing on Vita make the controls more accurate to the original release? Probably not by much but hey!

Speaking of which, why haven't they put the original release on the store whyyyy

Edit: screw it, I bought it anyways. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME
 
My wife surprised me with a Vita today and I have some quick questions.

Why can't I transfer my PS1 games download on my PS3 to the Vita?

Why are so many of my digital PSP purchases "Not Downloadable to Vita" in the PlayStation Store (MOST NOTABLY YS I & II)?

How creepy is Near?

^Yeah bobby, PS+ with the IGC and the discounts make gaming on the Vita SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. That, and Nintendo games are notorious for never going on sale (unless it really bombs).

You have to transfer the PS1 game while it's not installed. When it's just that bubble icon

Don't know. You can get around that with most games though by downloading onto PS3 then transferring to Vita.

It's pretty useless so not very creepy.

First, are both systems on the same account? Second, others can verify,but I think games that are 'installed' on the ps3 cannot be transferred over. So you wither have to redownload them on the ps3 before you transfer, or just download them on the vita directly.


Second, there are some licensing issues concerning psp games which prevent them from being sold on the vita store. However, some games can be downloaded on the ps3 and transferred to the vita. Search online for a list of such games. In many cases, the games just flat out so not work on the vita. The vita does not contain any psp hardware. Everything is software emulation.

Last, near is not creepy at all. In fact,I'd say it is pretty much pointless.

....Man, living in a country with a 12 hours difference with the US SUCKS.

I can hardly arrange multiplayer sessions with you folks, blehhhhhhh :((

Very noob questions : Is there a way to transfer all my stuff from my 4 gb card to my 16 gb card?

Copy content from 4GB card to PC/Laptop using Content Manager and copy them all back to the new card using Content Manager as well.

Go to the PlayStation Store on your Vita, hit the ... icon in the bottom right, and check your download list. It'll show you all of the stuff you've ever bought on the account. Compatible stuff will give you a download option. Give that a try.

So Terraria is fun. The music is annoying, but I'm liking it better than Minecraft since it seems more "gamey". Maybe I should have paid closer attention to Starbound, since it seems similar.

That's where I was looking.

The strange thing about Ys I & II is that it IS purchasable on the Vita PSN Store, and it has a "Buy" button.

Ys Seven and Ys: OiF have "Download" buttons on the store.

All three are in my Download List, but only Ys I & II says "Not Downloadable to Vita."
 
I don't think it is, but I'm also waiting for some gameplay videos. So far there are only unboxings. A bit weird that there is not a single video up on YouTube of someone playing the game on his/her Vita.




I don't know. Perhaps they know how to take screenshots but not many are used to share them?






Thanks for the screens. I found a few myself. Mostly from Japanese forums. Transferred them to my Vita and they look quite good. I suppose having this in motion and not shitty compressed means the game must look actually quite neat.

I'm.. I'm actually getting hyped for this!

Had it back on PS2, got to the end but never actually beat it. Been mostly indifferent to it since.

Is there a transfer mode/USB Connection I have to select like on PSP or will it detect automatically.

It will be detected automatically. You need to have Content Manager installed on your PC/Laptop though, and from time to time it will require an update so make sure your PC/Laptop is connected to the Internet.

:lol You noticed the Sonic session we did?

Yeap :\

So jelly :\ :\ :\ :\ :\ :\
