***** PlayStation Vita Official Thread *****

I would seriously rethink the note if you want it for games. while its a nice phone its not even comparable on the gaming side, unless you prefer things like where's my water compared to uncharted.

liked the unit 13 demo but with all the other releases and the lack of multiplayer, I think ill wait for a price drop.
 
***** PSN Names *****

Only 49 have any information about what games they own out of 76 owners so if you have not given that info then please go to the link below and update it with your games. Also PLEASE make sure that your PSN ID is correct. They are CASE SENSITIVE.

Telling us what games you have helps to get friends with similar tastes or that you'll be able to get multiplayer with.

You do not need a google account to edit the document.

EDIT: PS blog also just confirmed that Unit 13 will not be available in the UK until Friday on any format. Stupid misleading article. Booo!

Im still confused about this factory reset thing... what does that entail?

Can I, this is another assumption, have my 4GB card just for MLB The Show and as such when I want to play it, put that in the PS Vita and the console loads up a US account, MLB The Show and bosh... then have a 32GB card which has my UK account and UK downloads on?

Or does the memory card not store specific PSN information? I assuming thats too easy a workaround? As basically if that did work, id get the 4GB running as a US one... get MLB the Show... then once the 32GB arrives, put that in, sign in as my UK one and re-download Motorstorm, but I assume I lose all my saves from Rayman :(

Part of me thinks just order the Cart, but if this download works ill be saving £10 I reckon.

The factory reset is an option in the settings. It makes the Vita forget all about you, but not about your saves and stuff since they are on the memory card. When it reboots it will look like nobody has ever used it. Then you enter your US PSN ID and it will log you in.

You can use any memory card for BOTH accounts if you like. All that happens is that anything you buy on the US account is hidden from the UK one and vice versa. Most demos seem to be playable on all accounts no matter which one downloaded it.

So you would be on your UK account playing Uncharted for example, would go to the Settings, select factory reset, select "no" when it asks you if you want to format the memory card, it will reboot and you then enter your US PSN ID and password. You'll then be able to see your MLB download and play it.

When you want to go back to your UK account you go into settings and do the same thing again. When it boots up you just put your UK account details in and all the content you bought on the UK account is visible again.

There is no reason for you to lose any saves or data for anything other than your network which you'd have to put in again every time.

I suppose a lot of your decision will be based on if this online code works from a UK account or not or if you even want to play online and transfer your save to the PS3.

If you don't want to play online and don't want to transfer your save just get the cart and you'll be able to play on your UK account. If that online pass doesn't work on anything other than US accounts and you DO want to play online or transfer your save to the PS3 then you might as well download the game and save the money.
 
Just added my details to spreadsheet. If there are any active Lumines, Stardust & Motorstorm players, please add me to compare scores (or give me targets to aim for!)

I'm eager to see how an fps game plays on the Vita with the sticks, that was one genre of games that the PSP really struggled with due to the controls.

Shame we have to wait until end of May for Resistance: Burning Skies.

Have you none of the PSP games you can try?


For those looking for Unit 13, some Asda stores were selling it today apparently.

Cheers, sounds complex

The reason I want to download it, is mainly time... ordering will mean im waiting probably 4-7 days to get it from the States.

Does this factory reset stuff cause many problems? I mean doing it over and over again?
 
Accepted a couple of friends requests just now.

I just had a look on Motorstorm and I am about mid table with other people from here :(

Anyone know why my scores on the main screen (the one that has the total of each "world") say "unranked" next to global rank? I have not completed any of the worlds completely, is that the reason?

Also, in Lumines, it takes a very long time to download other friends' scores, any particular reason?

Still does it to me and I've finished them all now. It seems to update if you press triangle (I think) to view the leaderboards. Saying that, it can be flakey at times - I've seen it when browsing though the level select, it hasn't displayed any times at all for some of the courses.

Will try that later, also added you as a friend as you have Motorstorm and Lumines.

It's very simple and will not harm anything. If you are unsure then do a full backup using the content manager and have a go. The Vita will be fine.



Just completed Uncharted on Hard for the first time. First Uncharted I've enjoyed the shooting parts of! I was 5 short of the 250 headshots trophy which was a bummer but I'm looking forward to playing through on crushing at some point. I've never had the desire to do that with an Uncharted before as I just hated the gunplay and would get frustrated as I'm pants at it but no such problem here.
