    Got a 2nd hand Vita this morning on Adverts, i'm reasonably happy with it (the machine is in ok shape bar a few scratches on the rear touchpad) but whats up with the charger it won't plug into the wall its one of those two prong adapters. Do I just use the plug that I use with my shaver or what?

    Sounds like you got a US or EU version? Is the plug not just a USB adaptor? i.e. you can just plug the cable into one form a smartphone etc?

    You can do that but the smartphone plugs generally have a different voltage. You should just be able to put a standard plug onto the charger pack.

    I have a Japanese Vita and plug the usb cable into a smartphone plug and it works fine.

    I'd say it was bought off amazon.it or amazon.de, they had deals for Vita over the last few months. They're the exact same apart from the charger and packaging.

    Its this part thats the problem. The two prongs don't fit into my 4 plug extention.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭martineatworld


    You'll need a travel adaptor or just plug the USB connection into a USB port of a computer/smartphone plug.

    My charger pack has a standard connection for a lead for the plug. Can you just change the lead with one that has a standard plug on it?

    The original charger that came with my vita was faulty so I had to get it exchanged and I used the plug off my phone while waiting for it to come back. There was no problem with but I didn't really want to have it as a long term solution.

    The wall to ac adapter part is just a standard power cable with those figure 8 connections, should be able to pick them up anywhere.

    So, probably going to get a Vita for my lad for an event in December people may not wish to discuss this early, I know lack of internal memory is an issue, any thing else I should be aware of. Have Playstation Plus on my PS3 so that will be a decent source of games for him.

    So apart from a decent size (32 gb?) memory card, is there anything else I should buy as well?

    He'll have to use your account but other than that nothing really, I don't think you need a 32GB a 16GB will be fine unless there's a big price drop in them.

    I got 16gb and it is nit enough. And that's with no ps+. I always had one tip for vita: buy the biggest memory card you can afford.

    I've a 16GB and I think it's plenty big enough when I have the games saved on my external HD and I swap the games from the HD onto the card.

    Finally finished Persona 4 after 60 hours of gameplay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,818 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Only 60?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,065 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    Ye I fast forwarded a lot of the cut scenes and didn't grind much.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,160 ✭✭✭tok9


    I regret selecting hard difficulty on it as I have to grind now :(

    While I think the game is great, I seem to always stop playing it. I've put in about 20 hours worth so far in about 3 months.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,994 ✭✭✭Taylor365


    I'm about 45 hours in, have a feeling I'm at the last boss.

    Haven't picked it up in weeks as he keeps destroying me.

    Is anyone else having a problem with Rayman Origins? I can't seem to get past the title screen. I tap the screen, and yet it crashes and boots me back to the UI.
