Post all questions below here Hello, im having trouble making my psvita work: it wont turn on in any way; i've tried completely tearing it down and putting it back together i was wondering what i could do to fix this problem. I pretty much gave up so should i replace it?, and do i need to give it to them disassembled to replace it, THANKS! Finally how much will it cost?Hello. I was playing a game for about two weeks. I closed the game because I wanted to try a demo. When I try opening the game again, it started showing errors that it cannot open the game, cannot install the game or game cart cannot be open or please attached game even though I can see the game icon in the home screen.

I just want to ask if this is a problem with the cart or with the console? After sometime, it returned back to normal but my save file became corrupted and have to start over again. Thanks.Was Wondering if i i have 2 days on playstation plus remaining and im only half way done with gravity rush 'ps plus game' will the vita give me the option in the ps store to purchase the game and continue with my save file when the sub runs out? Or will it make me download a new game app and force me to buy ps plus a month just to get the save from the cloud nvm i figured out how to do this using a pc and copying save data file./ pasting into the newly purchased gameHi. Is there are hardware difference between the old and the slim vita, in terms of cpu and graphics chip. Will there be a framerate difference, or is the difference basically just screen and size?OK, I found the answer atAll of a sudden my vita keeps telling me to insert a memory card, yet for almost a year or so it has had one installed in it!

R/Trophies: A subreddit for those in quest of the almighty:platinum. Gold, Silver, and Bronze trophy hunters welcome too! Covering PlayStation.

So why now so of a sudden and out of the blue it is giving me this obvious error. So could someone help me out here, cuz it will no longer let me do anything with it?

And I cannot find a reason anywhere regarding this issue of mine.Well was wondering if it was possible to pre order a digital download only ' ps vita games?Hi, I was wondering if it was ever possible that there would be a ps2 section of the ps vita marketplace?Hi there. I got update 2.00, I uploaded my backup to the cloud, I then changed out my memory stick from a 4 gig to an 8 gig to have some room for the PS+ freebies! Unfortunately when I tried to download from the cloud back up to my new memory card I got all sorts of error messages, and it hasn`t transferred my game saves, or apps like Facebook or Netflix. Did I do something wrong, or is the cloud storage just not suitable for backups to a new memory stick? Many thanks stulec52.

I bought the physical copy of Golden Abyss. Now it's going to be a free digital dowload since I'm a plus subscriber. Since I already own the game, if I download the digital version, and then quit being a plus subscriber, will I be allowed to keep the Digital version?Hi, after the last update my Ps vita Stopped showing my music files and even if i try to add more music it won't appear.

What should I do to fix this?Hi, my PS Vita won't delete its notifications when I press the delete button. What should I do?Hi, there is a problem with my ps vita, when i turn it on the blue light comes on but the screen still stays black.I try holding the power for 50 secs but still not working. When i slide my finger across the top right corner of the (black screen) you could still hear the menu sound. What should i do? Hello, I'm just wondering if I can chat to my PS3 friends from my PS Vita.

You can't currently but you can still message. (millsjonah)Hey, I was wondering if you could copy your games from your PS Vita, to your PC, make a new PS Network account, and then copy the game to your PS Vita with your new account. (mrH9000) Don't do this. It is called gamesharing and can get you banned. (millsjonah)Hi, I was just wondering if you were downloading a game off the PS Store and the PS Vita ran out of battery and you were going someplace the next day with no wi-fi (in my case, boarding school) will the download resume without having to use any internet? (my charger is at the boarding school). You need wi-fi.

I have two accounts but I want to buy a new memory card so i can have my other account on it. If I backup all of the save data from this memory card onto a PC and then download it to the new memory card will the save data work with the other account and will the trophy data be put on the other account? (DogG6) The trophies will not transfer. I wanted to buy a 3G/WIFi Vita. If I buy it in the US, is the 3G going to work in Mexico? Yes but you need to pay extra. (millsjonah)I've been wondering if I can zoom using the camera/recording function. If not, can't they have an update for that?

(jmend12) It can't currently but Sony could add it down the road. Keep in mind, however, that if you do zoom it will reduce quality.

I have some problems with the Vita. One, I managed to import a PSP game properly, it's working and all. But whenever I press the Home button to do other stuff and get back to the game I get a message saying that the update data for this application has been downloaded, and if I want to close the app for the update to be installed.

I did OK it once, but everytime I go out the game screen, and go back and continue I keep getting that prompt. I can always press cancel but is there no workaround to that? I'm not sure what update data it keeps talking about. I even backed up my game, deleted it from the Vita and copied it back but I get the same thing.Another thing, when I make the Vita go into standby/sleep.

Usually after 5-10 seconds the Home button blinks repeatedly before disappearing again. Is that normal? What does that mean?Thanks! (mgpestipona)The blinking is normal. In regards to your update data problem the update date is the software update for that game.

I can only think of one possible solution and that is to delete everything for that specific game except for your save file and if that doesn't work deleting the game itself and redownloading it. I have contacted Sony for your problem and i will post back if i get a different answer.

(millsjonah)Update: I have contacted Sony and they did not have an answer. (millsjonah)I have a problem. My Vita buttons aren't working. The only ones that work are the power, volume and home buttons. The other buttons only work when I'm in safe mode, but when I'm in a game it doesnt work. Could somebody help me and is anybody else having this problem?

(Alfguy) You definitely have a defective unit. What you should do is go to and follow the steps. This will be free since you have a 1-year warranty with each Vita. (millsjonah)I was thinking of buying Assassin's Creed Bloodlines on the Vita, but was wondering if for that game you could remap the camera to the right analog stick? (Falcon-X32) You can remap it to the right stick. (millsjonah)My Vita got restored somehow, and I wanna know how to bring all my games back onto it. All my data and my memory stick was inside of it too.

If they're downloaded you can download it again at no cost. Formatting they system and memory card are different things so you should be fine unless you did both.

(millsjonah)Is it possible for you to change your Vita's name? Like in the PS3 you have the option to change your system's name. It would be weird to see it named 'Playstation Vita' when bluetooth devices detect it. Also, is it possible to transfer data via Bluetooth? I'd copy a photo I took from my phone onto my Vita. (tupasheep)I've heard that Ultimate Marvel vs.

Capcom 3 DLC purchases for the PS3 version, provided you use the same PSN account, can also be used for the Vita version as well. Is there any truth to this? And on a related note, is there some sort of list that indicates which one-time purchases work for PS3 and the Vita? I.e., if Game A is available on the PSN for both Vita and PS3, and you buy it once, that would mean you have both versions etc? (teddyboy09) The dlc will work for both. And if you go to PS VITA games then cross compatible game it will show you the ps3 and vita games but you will have to download PS3 and vita version seperately. The full list of announced of cross platform games is (millsjonah)So, are they going to sell vita games as redeemable codes (for example, I go to gamestop, where I'll buy a card with a code that I'll use to redeem a game on PSN)?

If so, can I buy it in USA, but redem it on my UK account? (Hermanny) You can not buy codes for vita games in the gamestop store but you can buy PSN cards which will add funds to your account in stores. You can however buy game codes on gamestop.com for some games.

And US codes will not work for UK. If you want to add funds to your UK account and live in the US you can order cards off of amazon.co.uk or just buy physical copies. Hope this helps.

Could the ps vita go online like the playstation 3. For example playing little big planet with your friends online?(mad902) You can play vita and PS3 but it is most likely only for user levels because they probably won't have the same levels (millsjonah)' Can i change ONLY the ac power cord fot the ps vita? Not the adaptor, cuz it's not compatible in my country'. (Akio27) You can switch out the power plug as long as you find one with the right output. I was wondering if I buy Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on my Vita, how will I get the PS3 copy? And, is it the full game for both Vita and PS3 for one price, or is it just to share saves?

(tito9114) Once you download the PS3 or Vita version you will be able to download the other one for free. To do that once you download the vita version the PS3 umvc3 will be marked for free. (millsjonah)I believe the real answer to this is you dont get a ps3 copy of UMvC3. The onyl stuff you can get fro free is DLC that you have previously purchased (narneko)Hello! I just wanted to know if you can buy the 3g/wifi bundle from gamestop two days after launch.

It's confusing because its called the 'Launch Bundle.' So can I?You should be able to buy as long as they are in stock. (millsjonah)' Hi Greg!

I have an imported Japanese vita and Japanese PSN account with my Japanese credit card attached. I've been trying to download games from Japanese PSN, but it's not working. Can I download games from Japanese PSN in the US?' Thank you so much for your help!:) (Creme Brulee)Can you give me the error number if there is one because you should be able to. Try downloading something small like a theme or avatar because it just might be too big to do so far away from the jp servers.

But you can also use the US PSN store on the JP vita if you are using a US psn account(millsjonah)The error number is NP-2244-2. I can only download small contents like a demo or a theme. I know I can use US PSN store but the game I want to download is only available on Japense PSN store. Do you know how to download big contents like games from the Japanese servers? Thanks again! (Creme Brulee)The error you are having is the result of incorrect credit card information so you should double check it.

A lot of others users are having the same problem because there is an error is on Sony's end. (millsjonah)What would be the best thing to do for the battery when using the Vita for the first time? I know batteries have improved a lot in this, but some sites still think it's best to fully charge it and then turn it on, whereas others contradict this by letting it fully decharge on first use. Does this matter in the Vita's case, as the official online manual does not mention any of this? Thanks, (Eovib) The charge cycle which is fully depleting the battery only affects nickel batteries not lithium so you should not do that. So it doesn't matter if you fully decharge the battery.

(millsjonah)My question is what format do any psn games/minis that can be transferred to the vita need to be in. Installed to the ps3 or in the freshly downloaded bubble format.(Drazius)I have an Import Japanese PS Vita, I'm able to connect to my US PS3 using my PSN ID and transfer Photos, Music, and Videos, But When I try to transfer PSP games it says 'There are no content items'. I watched Greg's video on how to transfer PSP games from PS3(MGS peace Walker) and I still get same message. Is it because i have a japanese system? Just make sure you are using your US PSN account.

If you are using your US psn account and it isn't working many other users are experiencing the same problem and sony is working on the issue. (millsjonah)One feature that I liked about the PSP was that when it was turned off, whatever you were doing could be continued whenver it was turned back on. Will the Vita have the same function? (Ironman1575)Many places say that the vita is going to be able to remote play all PS3 games but just as many say that it wont remote play any. Which one is correct? (SLKJR) Well it depends on the game itself because some might support it and some might not.(millsjonah)Any idea if PSN titles like Outland and LIMBO can be transfered to the PS Vita and played.

Or if this might be implemented in the future.(mgschris1987) Nope PS3 and vita games are different but some Vita and PS3 games will come bundled together when you buy the PS3 or Vita version. However they might be remote playable. (millsjonah)As a Psp owner i've noticed that i couldnt open a few sites due to memory problems.

Does the Vita have enough 'memory' to open up the majority of sites. For example if i could open 70% of sites with my psp what percentage of sites could i open with the vita.

Im fully aware that the vita is a gaming device and the browser isnt a main focus but i was curious to see if there have been any major changes to the 'not enough memory issue.(narneko) The PS Vita has more RAM than the PS3 so it should do better in terms of memory issues. But Playstation doesn't optimize their browsers that well so it might not even take advantage of the extra memory.

Hope this helps. (millsjonah)The PSPGo had a very useful function where you could press the home button and select 'pause game', your game would then get saved/paused in the system's memory. And when your battery died, it used that function to save your game just before it shut itself down, so you would never really lose your progress. I doubt the Vita has the same function due to the lack of having internal memory of it's own?

(Eovib) It would be possible because it could save on the game card or memory card. But it has not been said if the feature is actually available. (millsjonah)Can I redownload the games I purchase fom psn if I delete them from my memory card?(Dragon24680) Yes you can redownload them from the store again. (millsjonah)Hi I have a question,Could you Transfer Saved data on a PC that you put on from the vita and put that saved data into another vita?(Mr.Smackalot)Ever since IGN announced PS Vita games being available for download, I have checked everyday on the PSN via my 60GB PS3 and have only found WipEout 2048 available.

Any idea why I can't find any other Vita games supposebly available for download? Is it my PS3? Or do I have to update it again (already up to date)? (gh0st-23) You will have to search for the games seperately because as of now, you can't find them categorized. For example search golden abyss, or super stardust delta and they will show up.(millsjonah) Hello, just picked up my first edition today.was mostly excited for the remote play feature so I can finish some of my single player games on the go. Any idea when they'll be available?

(Alkalin43)Hello, question about the store and Vita, On the psn store the game Dungeon Hunter Alliance is around £7.20 ish. Yet the cartridge version is £30. Could i simply buy the copy on psn and transfer it to the vita? (BingoMacFeegle) If you mean buy the cartridge version and transfer it digitally, you can't because if you could it would be digital pirates best dream. If you mean something else could you clarify? Quick question. Is it possible to transfer ps1 games to the Vita.

I tried transferring stuff from my Ps3 and it only let me transfer some of my psp games. I dont know why it didnt transfer all of my PSP games either.(Spazzfx) Right now there are transfering problems with the vita so I would wait for an update or a fix. But you should be able to. (millsjonah)Can I use my US account on my PS3, buy Vita games, then switch back to my EU one and transfer them to my Vita which will hold my EU account via USB? In the same way you can buy a PS3 game off the US store then switch to a EU one and play said game on that account.Thanks in advance,(yairdonin)Downloaded games are tied to the account they are purchased on so you can only play them on the U.S. (millsjonah)I hope I have put this in the write place.are the vita games sold in the EU multi-language?If I buy a vita game in Germany will I be able to play it in English? (pmcgaw) It depends on the game.

Because some games will have more than 1 language but some might only be in german. (millsjonah)Can I just download my online purchased psp-go games onto the vita, or is there some conversion process I have to go through?

(pmcgaw) If you have downloaded it you can just go to your download list or search for it and you can download it free. (millsjonah)Will the UK get the UMD Transfer Program? SCEE has not confirmed yet whether the Passport program will come to Europe or not.

(millsjonah)How much memory should I get if I am going to use it a lot, but still need a cheap card? ( gamer4f3b0018aa377) Well the 8GB card would hold up to at the most 4 vita games for 35 U.S. And the 16 gb card you for 60 U.S.

Dollars will give you up to around 8 games. The 4gb wouldn't hold more than 2 games because it is the cheapest at 25 bucks.

But if you were willing to spend $100 the 32gb could hold up to 16 games. So if i were you I would go with the 16 gigabyte. (millsjonah)Will I be able to transfer a Ps vita game from my Ps3 to 2 seperate vitas that are using 2 different accounts. (Topgearsam) No because games are tied to the account they are purchased on.

But you could swap out physical games as long you have different game memory cards and format cartridge. (millsjonah)I tried to copy my purchased minis and ps1 games to my vita and none of them work. When i downloaded using my vita, they (minis) just installed and when i run them, they give an error (C1-2858-3).

Same when i install using my Ps3. Then I tried installing PS1 games since i saw Greg's video.

I re-downloaded the PS1 (RE1 and Syphon filter 2) game then when i tried to install, the Vita does not detect it. It just sees the minis. (i must run) and not even the other minis (where is my heart).

(seraph973)How well does the Vita play psp games? Does lose frames or stop sometimes? Does the upscaling and bilinear fliltering really make psp games look better then what they looked like on the psp?

If possible, could you answer it specifically on Dissida 012 Final Fantasy? (mishlc)Will Magic:The Gathering 2012 be compatible on the PS Vita? I've tried to look everywhere for an answer and thought maybe you guys would know or could try it since you guys have Vitas. (ForbidYourWays) Greg, now that you have the American Vita, does remote play appear to work any better?

(dmlash123abc)Say I’m playing wipeout and i earn some trophies. Then my brother wants to play wipeout on his vita with his psn account can he earn trophies also?P.S. No one has been able to answer this question for me.Yes he can earn trophies also but only one person can be logged in at a time so whoever is playing signed out will have to sync their trophies when they can sign back in. (millsjonah)Pardon me millsjonah, but I'd like to cut in.

I believe the answer is actually 'No'. This is based off of experiance with multiple games. My friend and I each have our own vitas and psn accounts and when we tested out each others games(in this case mortal kombat) we found that only the first and original owner of the game was able to recieve trophies. Not only did no trophies appear, a notification in the corner stated something like 'you will not be able to earn trophies' Unless (millsjonah) youve had experiance with it working im pretty sure the correct andswer to the question is 'No' (narneko) Does the vita come with a memory card? No it does not come with a memory card unless you buy the first edition bundle. (millsjonah) I have a question, do I need a chip from at&t to enable 3g or a regular memory chip? How do I enable 3g?

(It,s Easy like Hell)Everything is Ready!What you need to Do is Download Crowd City!Step 3: Install Crowd City:Now open the Google Play Store Account. If you don’t have a Google Play Account OR you want to use another account create a new one! Adapt Hardware ResourcesAndyroid will not need more than 1024 MB of memory and 2 CPUs (if you’re using a PC (Desktop), you can also choose 1 CPU if you have a high strong CPU.You can set it up in the “Virtual Box” settings – It would set automatically in the beginning, but you can double check it. Step 4: Configuration (Recommendation)For the Best Experience (Better Result) – I would highly recommend you to change these settings! Crowd city game. If you want to use your existing Account to Play Crowd City On Windows 10 Then log in with your existing Google Play Account!.

Yes you need an ATT sim card but it will come with the 3G vita. And there will be an option on the vita to enable the 3G that you can use whenever the sim card is in. (millsjonah)Hey Greg I know that Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Blazblue both have online modes. I was wondering if you knew of any other games with online play. (Heilleg) Fifa 12, Hot Shots, Reality Fighters, Wipeout 2048, Army corps of Hell, Dungeon hunter, Hustle Kings, Shinobido, and dynasty warriors.

(millsjonah) Hi Greg!!!!!! I was wondering how do the dual analog sticks feel. Like if you were playing Uncharted Golden Abyss, does it feel natural. Or do you have to get used to it. It felt natural to me. If you want to try it yourself call the gamestops around you to see if they have a demo unit because that is where I tried it.

(millsjonah) So I have a follow up question: Does the Vita support M4P or only MP3 format? (larshoneytoast)It supports MP3 and mp4 (millsjonah)Hello Greg, BEYOND!!!I wanted to know if I could buy games from psn store of other territories using credit cards of a different territory?You can only use a credit card of your territory. So you could not use a hong kong credit card on the U.S. Psn store and vice versa. But if you're asking about using say a japan credit card on the japan PSN store and you are in the U.S.

Then you can. Basically the regions have to match.(millsjonah)I was wonder can you use the ps Vita to chat with ps3 users or no? (lukas200)Currently game on an xbox.

Blown away by the Vita and feeling nostalgic about the ps1 and 2. Worth it to take the gamble of selling my xbox to buy a Vita and ps3 and ONLY buy downloadable games via my ps3 and in turn game out at home and away via remote play? Or is there an overall vibe that A) The lag issues will kill the idea. And B) Not every downloadable game will be remote play'able (Kevin) The lag is evident but there are some games likeMotorstorm RC, WipEout HD and HD Fury DLC for and Capcom's, Ultimate Marvel vs.

3 which will give you ps3 and vita version if you download. There will sure be more to follow.

(millsjonah)So I understand that the Vita will be able to play music. I want to know if all my music from my iTunes library can be downloaded to the Vita.

Note: I have tried putting music on my ps3 from my itunes library and most of the songs were playable and the others came up as 'unsupported data'. Also note that this was done by using a flashdrive. Do you think this will happen with the Vita?

What does 'unsupported data' mean? Are there alternative ways to download all my music to the Vita so its all playable? What do you suggest is the best way? Thanks for all the help I really appreciate it!

(larshoneytoast33)You can play your iTunes music on the Vita if you convert the songs to an mp3 file. You can dowload free software to do it. is a good one to download. (millsjonah)If my PSN account is US, and I get an Asia region game with a free DLC code or online pass, does that mean I can't activate said code/s because I can only use one PSN account? I'd want to say I'd just wait until I get a US region game everytime but here in the Philippines we get either US or Asia region depending on what the stores get so we'd have to live with that everytime.

Redeeming on the PS3 isn't really difficult as we have multiple accounts and after redemption on a sub-account I can go back to my main and play from there because I want my trophies in one account. (tupasheep)Right now the fastest internet connection I can get on is wired only (and not a location where I can take my PS3), so I currently use my laptop to purchase and download PSP games and then transfer them to my PSP; can I do that with the new Content Manager application, or at all? (AngelE)Yes you can do that with content manager. (millsjonah)For an added bonus for pre-ordering the first edition bundle, I get a $20 discount on a second purchase of any game product. I don't know if I should get the PS Vita in-ear headphones or the PS Vita cradle, both ate $20 so will get it for free. I currently only have the regular apple headphones and I don't know if those will offer great sound quality for PS Vita games.Regular Apple headphones should do fine for sound, but I am unsure if the microphone will function with the PS Vita.

I would go with the cradle or use it to get $20 off another game (Kchow21).I don't have the Apple headphones with the microphone and they are over 2 years old. I don't want to pre-order any games because Futureshop doesn't have all launch titles so I'm going to pick up my games in store after the 22nd. So it's either the cradle or in-ear headset.I would go with the in-ear headphones if you are going to be gaming on it because it will improve the audio quality. If you will be watching movies on it at home choose the cradle. (millsjonah)Well, those Apple headphones are still pretty good and the PS Vita has a built-in mic making them a bit of a luxury.

I still say use the $20 on a game and I believe that you don't have to use it right away, so you could just wait until the game you want is being sold (Kchow21).I just watched the video about switching between memory cards in order to switch PSN accounts. I was wondering, if one wishes to switch memory cards but use the same account, does one have to go through the same process or can one simply switch the memory cards without having to restore the Vita to factory settings?

I suppose a prior question would also concern whether it is even possible to use the same account on multiple memory cards.Thanks. (dmlash123abc)If you are keeping the same PSN account then you don't have to go through that whole process and it becomes just a matter of switching memory cards without formatting (KChow21).You can swap out cards without formatting. (millsjonah)Follow-up Question: My second device is my PS3.

Would each memory card count as a 'new device' or would that just be the Vita itself? That would stink if, because of my PS3, I had to deactivate one memory card in order to activate the other. (dmlash123abc)It would read the Vita not the memory card as the device. (millsjonah)It would just read the PS Vita itself, but will know the content that is inside it (Kchow21).Right now I have the 16GB memory card reserved but plan on getting the 32GB. How would I transfer my saves,games,music,etc.

To the 32GB memory card? (ForbidYourWays)You would have to insert 16gb card into Vita transfer data to Mac.

Put in 32gb card and transfer data to Vita. (millsjonah)You just need to transfer your data from your PS Vita to a Mac, PC or PS3 and then transfer it to your 32GB memory card (Kchow21).I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, however, I would like to know if the PS Vita i.
