I can't believe you are getting any hope from that, ND have never made a portable game and after that statement I would just forget about it ever happening.
I've just noticed that you're not on the PSN list. do you have a Vita?

That's really odd. Mine doesn't
I'll take screens of all my settings pages tomorrow and post them. I've looked in all of them to see if there is anything which might trigger it but couldn't see anything other than what was in the BT menu.ND are also Sony's most productive studio and that's why they have been given the freedom to make The Last of Us. Vultures were swooping to steal talent and they had to let them do whatever they wanted. Sony don't push their teams, if they did it wouldn't take 7 years to make GT5 and 6 years to make The Last Guardian etc.
lol! Good luck
Laughing at people for their decisions isn't always the best way to make friends around here, especially since you don't know their circumstances. Several people on here bought from game and gamestation because they had a load of credit built up so the total cost was much less than just buying it from Amazon or some of the others.
For anyone wanting to import, planetaxel cover import tax and duty with their handling/delivery charge which for my 32GB memory card was $3 from Canada.
Yeah saw that dude. I wonder what he does all day. He seems to just play games and answer people like us on twitter! I only joined it to get answers from him lol.
On the Bluetooth front. I've just tested mind to be sure. As standard my BT is off. If I reboot it does not come back on. If I turn it on and reboot it DOES come back on. I've just turned it back off and rebooted again and it's not come back.
I'll do those screen caps tomorrow and hopefully we can find some odd settings that's making mine work and yours not.
Have you registered any BT devices that it might be turning on to look for? I have not.

Mine has no dead pixels. I've heard of a couple of people with issues but not many, only one on here and he didn't notice it while actually playing so didn;t plan on returning it.
That line from Sony is normal form panel manufacturers, if you returned it to the store they'd replace it.
LOL
After a massive lecture about trying to save money, our shocking childcare costs (we have four kids), and her lack of free cash to spend in River Island she tells me she was thinking of buying me one for my birthday (about 5 weeks away)
looks like im getting uncharted now instead and NOTHING else lol
NICE! Don;t forget Motorstorm! Excellent for under a fiver and a nice change from Ucharted.
Yep, just be warned that you can only play those games on the account that you bought them on unlike on the PS3. You can change accounts and pay other stuff but you'll never be able to play your US DD games on your UK account.
Very good price, Amazon's best offer in that range is Wifi + 8GB + Fifa for £232.
Motorstorm RC and Stuper Stardust can both be had for less than £15 in total and are both excellent games.
Full retail titles are going to be dependant on what you are interested in. Wipeout, Everybodys Golf, Rayman, Fifa etc are all great games.
I'll check them out
I managed to get a PS Vita with a 4gb card and lumines for £185. Used but in excellent condition.
Wow. Why would people sell something so fast instead of just returning it to the shop
Another chunk from the Motorstorm RC review on eurogamer
Just heard that Uncharted: Golden Abyss is top of the retail charts this week in the UK.
Obviously digital sales are not counted at all here.
Currently backing up my 8GB card to my PC and will then transfer back on to the 32GB.

I didn't have any problems using my mastercard.
Are you doing this from the Vita, the PS3 or online?
Kreeee did a google docs sheet that we can put our names in and the games we have which is good. No idea if people are adding themselves to it.
At least that way we can add people who have similar games for multiplayer.
Hopefuly Amazon/zavvi get those VIP cases in on the 2nd like they said. Should be here Saturday if they do.
If anyone wants some very cool looking TNMT backgrounds try these two posts. Video showing them on the Vita here

1) Not 100%, but what you certainly CAN do is hook your WiFi model up to your PC/MAC or PS3, use the content manager to backup (does one big file dump), then format the card and pop it in the 3G and then tell it to restore from your PC/MAC/PS3.
It MIGHT be true that you can't just put an already in use card into a different machine and access that content, I don't have enough Vitas to try it out.
You'll DEFINITELY be able to use that card in your new Vita however, just use the backup/restore I mentioned above.
2) Again not 100%, I THINK that games that save to the memory card will allow you to use either a cart or a download version but I'm not 100%. The few games that save direct to the cart are I THINK not possible to back up or copy.
Sorry I can;t be of more help.
DBT, how do you know all these things? I see you answering everyones questions every day
Just got my vitaCant wait to play it
I've been reading pretty much everything about the Vita since it was first unveiled as the NGP. As a result I know lots about it and can make a nice OP with lots of information for folks that are only just finding out it even exists
Thanks for the info DBT.
As long as the memory card will still work in the later vita that's the main thing. Guy in store indicated that it would only ever work in 1 vita.
I'm hoping since I will only be using one PSN account the whole time, if i start uncharted tonight onto the card make saves, once I have deregistered the wifi vita and registered the 3g version it onto the account the card should just hop accross... worse case I lose saves.
All in all, it is a weird situation. All I wanted was a standalone 3G model without carts, but the local store I am trading my 3DS in for only had wifi version with carts in stock, so.....
- I bought wifi + uncharted for 230 quid.
- Later in the week when they get 3g version in I will trade in my wifi and uncharted for 245 quid at same store (yes, 245, it is not a typo), and get 3g version + uncharted (v2)
- Then I will trade in uncharted (v2) for PSN vouchers and buy downloadable version of uncharted (v3)
It does mean this week I will own 2 vitas and 3 versions of uncharted... which is why the weird questions
Well put it this way, if it will only ever work in one vita there are going to be some unhappy people soon as they buy used cards. I posted my 8GB this morning so we should either see a puddle of rage posting in here tomorrow or a happy camper. I'mm 99.9% sure it'll be the latter.
Just make sure you do a backup of the card before you send the WiFi back, that way even if it won't work in the 3G without a format you still have your data.
I'll see if I can find out about the Uncharted save thing for you.
Yes, the Travel kit has the car charger in and the start kit doesn't probably some other differences too.
EDIT: someone found an easter egg in Uncharted when on his second playthrough, this time on Crushing difficulty. Spoiler alert. Real actress is made jump by someone on set and every has a laugh, it's all rendered into the game with the character movements too.

You can't change the region of the account, you'll just have to make a new one if you want a US account.
Not had anything like that. mine hooks up fine. I WILL post my settings tomorrow for those struggling with this and the bluetooth issue.
I like it, but I do prefer ones with no circles. The bubbles move around and I think it can look odd sometimes. Maybe have a clean one too?
Odd, most people have said Fifa ran well apart from the cutsceneswhen the players come out and stuff.
Virtua Tennis looks stunning and is native res and 60fps. Golf is getting some love too.
Much better!
Yeah thinking of picking that up too as it looks fun.
You need
Just remember that even the ill fated PSP Go kept its price for months and months. I'm still not expecting anything before December, especially with the discounts retailers are offering
You still are doing alright.. You have me beat on more races that you have set times for and I am finding it hard to change that.
I have unlocked more tracks/super cars than anyone else it seems which makes me look good overall but that will change.
I wouldnt be playing it so much if there wasnt people like you making it a challenge.
We are friends right? I can't remember as so many people added me!
3 hours yesterday getting loads of stuff. Will be trying to set some better laps today but hopefully I can put it down for some Uncharted!
You bought any cars of the store yet?
Some times which are set are too hard
Not bought any of the cards, I downloaded the free one. Unless I needed to download a car for an event or a trophy I probably wouldn't, I'm not into that kind of DLC personally. When the new festivals are available I'll get those as that is more useful content in my eyes, not just a different car or sin or something
Not at this time no. The PS Suite may get one and many others once it goes live but we just don't know. Thinking of getting that cradle myself.
The Demos run from 200mb to full sized games. All of the Ubisoft titles for example are the full game when you download them, you then just buy a 100kb unlock code.
I might try and compile a list today.. might. lol
It does not use Android OS. However with the PS suite which is due to launch at some point this year developers will get an easy way to put their apps and games onto any PS Suite certified devices. It's easy to code for and should be easy to port from iOS and Android.
The only things you will certainly never see are anything like emulators for old consoles and the like. We'll only know more once it launches though.
Yeah, Facebook borked the app so it was removed until they fix it. Shouldn't be long. The Twitter and Flickr apps are much much better quality IMO.

Can people start beating my times on Motorstorm so I can get the final trophy?
I'm trying!
Aaarg the sheep level in escape plan is driving me nuts. Find it hard to control them
Wife said it was hard too but she managed it. The gauntlet is laid down!
So i've had a couple of days to play about and now i'm disappointed to say that Reckless racing 2 on the iphone boasts equivalent graphics to motorstorm and is far the better game
Vita needs games like uncharted desperately... not simplistic one's like motorstorm rc and rayman that phones can easily replicate.
On a graphical level I cannot comment, but without real controls the likes of Rayman and Motorstorm will always be superior on the Vita in my opinion. Always.
The demo is not region locked however. You should be able to sign in with a Japanese account, download the demo and then log back in with your UK account and play it.
Also top tip for anyone that hasn't seen, hold + and - to mute.
If I was to trade my Wifi for a 3G, could I simply use Content manager to backup/restore all my content (inc purchased digital downloads) from one Vita to another? Or will I have problems with content licences
No, the licences are tied to your PSN account, not the hardware. What you WILL have to do is deactivate your system before you take it back otherise you'll have two Vita's linked to your PSN account.
So use the content manager to make a backup to your PC/MAC/PS3, then go into the settings, PSN, system activation, game and hit deactivate. Now your PSN account will not be linked to any hardware.
When you get your new model just punch in your PSN details and do a Restore using the Content manager.
I THINK using the PS website you can deactivate systems remotely but I'm not 100% on that.
If you want Wipeout as well then I would say yes since you get it for an extra £5 when you top up with Vodafone, but then I own one. I like the option of having 3G and GPS against not having it and Near works better with the 3G since it can get your position all the time rather than only when you are connected to a WiFi hotspot that is registered with Skyhook.
Any of the online functionality you can do through a tethered phone if you like.
I've just ordered a 3GB a month for 6months sim from eBay for £29. For me, that added handiness of having it there when I want it is worth it.
Plenty of people got the WiFi though, about 79% of those that bought one in the UK got the WiFi.
On Gravity Rush, it is coming out here and is expected in May.
Ahh ok, I've gone through one hoop and scored one goal but didn't know it was for anything. Will work on that one another day, maybe when i try the Supercar trials on the last 2 festivals.
If it's the three data sim cards for £28.75only last week they were going for £18.99
Yeah, as soon as the guy selling them realised that the 3G was out he's bumped the price up. Understandable really. Even then, £5 a month for 3GB is a great deal. Even GiffGaff only gives you 500MB for that, 3gb costs £12.50
Order a 3G and take the WiFi back once it's arrived
Just an update for any one who cares regaridng the pixel on my Vita, I spoke to Amazon to find out there procedure for returns incase i did wish to exchange to my surprise there sending a replacement unit first
I was expecting them to require me to send this back first with it being tested etc its not so awesome.
So to any one who can help what do i need to do with the one i have? i.e. do i just take my mem card out n factory reset it and all good? Im assmuing saves, account licenses tied to the mem unit and my actual psn account
First things first, use Content Manager and do a Backup to your machine of choice (PC/Mac/PS3). Then whatever happens you have all your saves and stuff. Set your new Vita up and once happy, on the old one go into Settings, PSN, Activation, Game and click deactivate and do the same for Video. That way your PSN account won't be tied to two Vitas.
The advantage you have is that you'll have 2 vitas to make the change, most people doing it will have to do it before swapping them out. At least you can double check everything before you box the old one up.
If you want to see what devices your PSN account is currently tied to go to

Cheers for that! Also thanks to your link i now know why my current PS3 Slim wont play and Videos from store etc cause it thinks my original Phat PS3 is main system which died a long time ago so i cant even deactivate that !!
Regarding Vita just done a back up think ive done it right, New Vita should be with me for Friday
Try phoning Sony, they might deactivate the other one for you. Stress that you can't buy any videos from them until they do and that might jog them along.
Well done on the Motorstorm Plat Murray. Mine hopefully wont be too far away.
