Vita Hardware/OS/Firmware Updates Tips, Tricks, and Discussion

So is this the Vita thread where I can talk about accessories because I honestly have no idea where that stuff goes.

I decided to be a cheapskate and pick up a Cosmos Vita usb cord because I broke my old one and wanted to save the $5.

Bad call! The thing is such an obnoxious snug fit into the Vita, it's easy to plug in and a total pain to pull it out of the Vita. Wish I spent the $5 more on the official cord. It works fine both data and power wise it's just annoying have to tug on it pretty hard to get it out :/
 
I have a question, is it normal that everytime i turn on the vita it installs/detects/whateveritdoes the game in the game slot?
 
Vita thread! How is Sunflower? Tried the demo a while ago and thought it was a ported iOS game. Now I've realized it's not and maybe I should pick it up?

Btw, should I get a 8 GB card now or wait for the 16 one to go down in price? Or maybe wait for the Vita Phone altogether?
 
People don't know how to do this? :/

Here's another thing people might not know, when playing most Vita games you can take an in game screenshot by pressing the PS/Home button and Start at the same time. Do note though, this causes the device to no longer accept user inputs for a few seconds as it saves to the memory card. From there you can share it with the world via posting it on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, or even uploading it to your PC/Mac with Content Manager Assistant.

Yes.

I can't answer your SunFlower question here, wrong thread. Maybe ask over here? http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=496208

But I will say that you should buy the 16gb card. More space if you choose to invest in the hardware's ability play digital games.

Sorry you're not allowed to talk about that in this thread, because NeoGAF

yes, if you really turn it off, I find no reason for me to do it, just press the power button for a sec and let it sleep
 
I'm pretty upset about the real thread getting shut down after all this time. You can't see it but I'm pouting in the corner.

Good old days ;P

Tbh I'm still going to have to read nearly everything...just need to click a lot more now..


Btw don't forget to restart your vita after a long time of only using only standby...you might not notice but it will probably run a lot smoother if it hasn't been restarted in weeks. GTA Chinatown wars actually has a bad bug with standby..
 
With a bluetooth mic connected, is there anyway that I can have the sound come from the speakers? I only want to use the mic for communicating, not both.
 
Oh, this thread will be active for about 12 hours.

Really hating all these changes. I want a central hub for consoles back.

PM A MOD. Let them know you don't like the changes.
 
I'm not 100% sure this is the right thread, but French retailer Fnac has announced a new Vita bundle for the holiday season (no release date): WiFi + Uncharted: GA + WO2048 + 4GB = €270

LOL at showing the boxes when the games come in voucher form...

UK has had a £190 bundle with LBP and memory card for a few weeks - that's a download too.

I suppose it gets people on the PSN Store which isn't a bad thing. But yeah, they shouldn't show the cases if you get digital versions.

I'm not. I rarely bother with any megathreads. Usually I try to pop in and the discussion is about some game I'm not interested in. And then I miss a lot of the things I'd like to follow and reply to because everything moves quite fast.

Yeah, I know, that's the one I bought actually, it was €260 in France. I'll pick up Uncharted eventually, but I'm not keen on WO though, so I guess it works out for me in the end.

So basically they give out that bundle, but the memory card included isn't big enough to fit both games?

Make a new thread. This is new news and is one of the reason why megathreads are so frown upon.

Well...not a terrible bundle, not sure about the price in France, but will they even be able to fit both games on the card? Not sure how big UC is, but wipeout gets large with the DLC too...

A French retailer exclusive bundle isn't exactly going to inspire quality discussion, lol.

May not be exclusive to the store, I think. Sony needs to move units left and right. This is one way to do so.

I don't know if it's exclusive to that retailer, they usually mention it, so it may be a French or Euro bundle, but I didn't think it was thread-worthy. The idea that both games might not fit on the memory card at the same time didn't even cross my mind... Can we get some actual file sizes from current owners?

I'm pretty sure it's physical versions of the game.

Uncharted Golden Abyss is 2.7GB and Wipeout 2048 is 1.6GB

To turn on the PS Vita, hold the power button for 5 seconds

Unless the battery is completely drained, then you have to plug it in for a few minutes before attempting to turn it on.

Well, bundles usually don't get threads unless they offer an insane deal or are a price decrease. For example, this past week SCEJ announced 2 new Vita bundles as well.
