Is it possible to connect to the US store instead of the EU store? Would I need to create a new account?

ebay, most sellers will email you the psn code as soon as you pay,you do need PayPal though.

Guys. Is it better to fully drain battery and then charge up? Or can I charge when it's half gone? I don't want to destroy battery as any earlier batteries were very sensitive for that. Is vita same?

cloud493 · 26-02-2012 11:31pm

I think its uniersally better to let the battery drain then fully charge. Its what I'm doing right now instead of playing wipeout :rolleyes:

I wish I had a hot Japanese girlfriend to translate stuff for me...... ;_;

All I have a is a dictionary and too much time on my hands.

sham69 · 27-02-2012 10:08am

Glad I bought the vita.
Spent most of the weekend playing escape plan.
Very good game.
On the downside, was playing in bed last night and when the screen goes completely black you can see some heavy blotting (lLooks like ink splashed behind the screen)
Only happens when the screen is completely black though.
It seems to be a normal thing with Oled screens.
Should I be worried?

String · 27-02-2012 10:36am

Is there cloud saves on PSN? Also if I buy a PSN game, and say my vita breaks, can I re download them using my PSN account? Really liking what I am seeing and hearing so far.

No, at least, not at the moment.

I am actually surprised that there was not more PS+ integration on the Vita. It certainly would have persuaded me to splash out on it if it benefited both the PS3 and Vita.

Yes you can. However, when you do, I would recommend logging into the Playstation website and removing the broken PSV from your activated devices so that you free up the slot [There are 2 PS3 slots and 2 PSV slots].

Wow, I'm going to Toronto in two weeks, and the Vita is over €60 cheaper over there.

I could pick up a wifi-Vita, 8gb memory card and a game for €240 by the looks of things. Screw that, I'll wait.

have you factored in 13% HST Tax in that price though? the basic Vita is 249.99 Dollars which sounds great but with tax on top of that, brings it a lot closer to 300 bucks.

Det Somerset · 27-02-2012 12:15pm

First software sales figures are starting to come through. In the UK, Uncharted has topped the all formats charts with Fifa Football in 2nd despite being only available on Vita. While this time of year is likely quiet in terms of software sales, that's still really impressive.

Rayman also jumped back up to number 5, mostly fueled by Vita sales, and Wipeout landed at number 11.

Will be interesting to see the hardware numbers when they come out soon.

deano546 · 27-02-2012 12:44pm

For anyone who has FIFA football and also has it on 360/PS3, is it similar? I'm in hospital right now and would like something to occupy myself other than refreshing boards :P If it's like the ps3/360 version it would definitely keep me happy for a while

Would the Xtravision offer, 280 for Wi-Fi model, Fifa and 4gb card be the best deal? (don't care about 3G)
Thanks

Well the good news is Fifa is quite similar almost the same and alot of people would argue even better with the touch screen controls.That is a good deal but there may be better in other shops by now.The one thing I will say a 4GB memory card is going to fill up rather quickly,unless Fifa is the only game you are going to play.

As far as I can make out, Fifa football is Fifa 11 with the squads and presentation of Fifa 12 (which is why it's unnumbered as it's a mix of versions). Not all modes of the full games are there but the game play is essentially the same with some Vita controls thrown in. I haven't done it myself, but I believe you can turn them off if you prefer. I'm rubbish both on ps3 and Vita so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask, but none of the other lads on here seem to have any problems with the gameplay. I'd say go for it.

Not sure of the best bundles now, but someone else might be able to advise you there.

You probably know this already but when in game hold down the touchscreen for a few seconds and when the menu comes up set the right analogue stick to the D-pad controls and you will have full camera control on the right stick. Monster Hunters biggest negative on the psp (camera control) is now not an issue!! Also turn on Bilinear Filtering and the colour option when in there!!

Gotta love the Vita!!!

cloud493 · 27-02-2012 3:15pm

Anyone have any tips for the wipeout time trials? Trying to get the very first one for the elite pass, need to do it in 2 minutes 30 seconds, best I can get is 2 minutes 32 seconds >.<

Don't airbreak unless you need too, mainly on very sharp bends. You shouldn't need to come off the acceleration until class A so keep it pressed down even when air breaking. Also usually a tap of the airbreak is enough to get you around most corners.

Use boost pads whenever possible but dont go out of your way to hit everyone of them. Try get a good balance between hitting boosts and maintaining a good racing line.

Also every track has short cuts and alot of em are hard to find so spend some time checking them out but be careful they are generally harder to navigate than the normal route and if you find yourself using one but constantly hitting the wall it might be better avoiding it.

Also give the "wipeout" control scheme a go. It's classic wipeout with X to accelerate and the shoulder buttons to air break. I much prefer it. You just need to press the shoulder buttons to airbreak but it gives you better control when you get used to it. Just remember only press the left airbreak when turning left and vice versa don't press them both together.

Good luck

Everyday we should set a "track of the day" where everyone has 24 hours to set their best time. Then gives points based on position and have a leaderboard that gets updated daily!! Would that work?
