Exactly :mad: I'm dying for it. Its only a re-release with trophies for goodness sake. Not rocket science. Ratchet and clank collection was announced less than a month ago and its out in May, and thats 3 games.

There's no games out that are appealing to me and I can't see any releases that are making me excited. Maybe it's just I've grown out of gaming. I dunno, I'm just not feeling it with the vita

The US PSN has a much bigger catalogue of PSP titles.

Is it possible to connect to that ?

I'm finding it rather difficult to sell my vita, nobody seems to be grabbing for it really. I think the hype has totally died down on it,

How much of a discount were you selling it for?

I'd think that the people who would be buying it at this stage would still prefer a new one, maybe later when the system picks up you'll see people looking at used vitas for a deal.

Bought a Wifi Vita, 8GB Card, the travel pack Wipeout, Fifa, Super Starburst and Frobisher Says is on it, selling for 320. So about a 60 euro discount.

Would not personally buy one used but that still seems very high compare to a good bundle new or some of the better deals on adverts.

cloud493 · 25-03-2012 1:44am

I think if you were pricing it up say (to sell) you'd be looking roughly

console - 200
Fifa - 30
Wipeout - 25
8gb card - 25

so 280. So 260 would seem to be a good price like.

Essentially, if you have..:
1 Memory card: Reset every time you want to use content from another account
2+ Cards: Reset once, activate the card on one account (only one account per card), switch the card back if you need to return to the original one; you only need to reset when you first activate it.

This is what I've read, i haven't done it

I'm trying to get some photos on my vita from the PC, but they keep coming up as question marks, is there anyway to convert them or something?

What format are you using? I know Vita saves screenshots as JPEG.

A quick and easy way is to convert them is open em in microsoft paint, and select "Save As" and select your required file type. Otherwise download the free software "GIMP" (Don't let the name fool you, its a free version of photoshop :pac:) and do the same process if paint doesnt have the file type you require

EDIT: 100th post! woot

animaX · 26-03-2012 2:20am

Just started Metal Gear Peace Walker on the vita. Strangely enough, it still requires you to install content to memory stick, even though its the digital version of the game, not the disk version! In all, it can take up to 2gigs of space.

Aha there's your problem, don't use a mac :P nah in seriousness if they're in Jpeg already then maybe it's a case that their dimensions arent compatible with the vita, that's the only other thing I can think of

I'd be happy to take 300 on it, 210 for the console, 30 for fifa, 25 for wipeout, 25 for 8gb card, travel kit 10, its advertised online for 309 now to allow a bit of leeway for people who will naturally haggle but still no-one is biting.

Well the shops are selling pre owned vitas for 230, think you'll need a bit more lee way.

That's optional - installing it adds audio codecs (talking) during missions; the small one plays the important ones, the larger one plays them all.

Otacon · 27-03-2012 3:21pm

After my recent case purchase on Amazon, I found this in my suggestions.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350534344049

It is a set of 8 attachments for the PS Vita. It consists of:
- two directional pad overlays [pretty pointless TBH]
- two convex pads for the analog sticks with added circular ridges for extra grip
- two concave pads with four raised dots at each point
- and finally two deeper concave pads with indented dots [my favourites]

They are cheap [like the case, a fiver], but well made and solid.

The pads are easy to put on but difficult to take off [which obviously has both good and bad points] and they really do make the analog sticks easier to use, especially the concave ones.

The directional pads are a bit pointless and require an adhesive pad to stick to the PS Vita so I didn't bother with them.

Overall, well worth it, definitely recommended.

RobbingBandit · 27-03-2012 3:40pm

Bought Virtua Tennis today in HMV preowned for €32.95,seems good so far.

I'd say that. You could get 180 for the console alone selling it in a shop, no way its legit.

animaX · 28-03-2012 8:37am

Velocity should be out today in the store (PS mini). Looks class, definitely getting it. Its not there yet though

Sucks

so the next actual game is disgea, I think.

WarZoneBrother · 28-03-2012 5:44pm

Next game for me to buy will probably be Resistance... Can't wait for that game...

Also guys, if I buy a new memory card can I load a different account on to it and download the games from there?.. And also can I switch both cards about when I want to switch accounts?.. If so that sounds pretty damn awesome...

Tactics Ogre is half price on psn (€9.99), I highly recommend it! Strategy RPG with a surprising amount of story/lore etc.

Jesus, I'd almost buy it just to have it (even though I have it on psp and finished it only recently!). Can't recommend this game enough

Disgusted we in Europe don't have a date for Sumioni yet. Looks amazing.

funky penguin · 29-03-2012 10:17am

It is, and I highly recommend it if/when it gets released in Europe.

My Japanese is terrible, but I can still play it, so if you feel like it, play-asia is an option.

If you are signed into a US PSN account, then it should be possible to connect to that network for multiplayer.

If a game has segmented multiplayer, it may be set up to use geographic location rather than PSN account location though.

No, or at least not easily. Every time you wanted to play a US account game, you would need to change your memory card to the one that stores your US PSN content [memory cards are locked to one region]. You would then also need to do a factory reset on your PSV before signing into the US account on it.

What exactly does factory reset do?

Honestly, I don't know as I have never done it. But I would assume it sets the PSV back to the state it was in before you first turned it on i.e. you need to select the language, region and such again.

Did it at the start when i got the vita, you also have to watch that video the vita showed again and it can't be skipped.

SO each time you change from US to Irish that Video will play.

Does it delete your saves etc?... Would same happen if switching from Irish to Irish... I have a different account with some PSP Games on it which I wouldn't mind playing...

It asks you if you want to format the memory stick (ie. delete everything on it) and you can choose no
