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

I topped up without creating an account with Vodafone and got my Wipeout code so creating one isnt important unless you intend to actually use them. :)

Yeah that's what worked for a a lot of people but sometimes you don't get the code !

I did that, and got the code after making the account, also use the internet on the vita, with wifi off !
 
Got a question you guys may be able to help with :)

I have Metal Gear Solid 1 and Final Fantasy 7 for the PS3 from the playstation store. Will I be able to play these on the Vita?

Also thanks to the security breach I received some free games and two of them were PSN games. Dead Nation and that Stardust. Will I be able to transfer these to my PS Vita and play these also? I know there is a Stardust game already out for the Vita but I already have the PS3 one and was hoping to play that on the go instead :)

RE: Final Fantasy 5 and MGS1. Yes, but not yet. The reason is primarily believed to be because of how PS1 games work on new hardware.

On the PSP, you played PS1 games through an emulator that Sony wrote to emulate PS1 code into something the PSP could understand. On the Vita, you an play PSP games through the same process. They wrote an emulator to convert PSP code into something the Vita can understand.

To run PS1 games the only way of doing it without writing a new emulator would be to open the PSP emulator and then open the PS1 emulator inside it. Running an emulator within an emulator is just inefficient and a waste of power.

Sony are adding PS1 support soon so we will just have to be patient. I too have FF 7, 8 & 9 as well as Crash Bandicoot 1,2 & 3 to play!

RE: Dead Nation and Stardust. No, they are PS3 games. The Super Stardust Delta for the Vita is about £8 and has more content than the PS3 version to boot :) No work ona Dead Nation port but I'd love one as would a load of others!
 
Still trying to understand what's so special about the 3G version :confused: Fair enough we get Wipeout if we top up a fiver, but we can't play online over 3G so what purpouse does it serve? All we can do is browse our Facebook on the move or maybe do a bit of light web browsing :confused:
 
Hmmm starting to wonder if the FIFA 'connection has been lost' is a problem with PSN, played around 20 games and only 1 I have finished to the end.

Anyone else managed to play full games, ranked?
 
Probably a stupid question but when you put a new retail game in it creates a new bubble that stays there. I can understand this for downloaded games but it seems a bit silly for retail ones when it just says insert the cart.

Am I missing something?

Each game gets a live area that lets you control updates etc, hence the need for a bubble

I've been using it for near and playing motorstorm its constantly downloading times and ghosts of other players. Same is true in wipeout I think. It can be done with tethering but I just find it more convenient and it saves my phone battery.

Near also works a lot better with the 3g as it can get your location from your provider and from GPS. on the WiFi model Near only gets a location if the WiFi hotspot you are using is in the skyhook database.

That's all you were ever going to be able to do with 3G really. That and download new ghost cars for games and stats or message friends etc

3G was never really worth the overall premium. You can't even download games over 3G just stats and trophy data etc. Small things.

It was stated in press releases games would never be online multiplayer over 3G. Which is rubbish but thats the limitations of 3G and network providers that don't want their network clogged with everyone playing games
 
Incase any 1 is curious, there are 60 events in the SP campaign on Wipeout 2048 to complete and 210 in the Online Campaign. All of which you need to elite pass.
