    i'm just after downloading Motorstorm RC to my PS3 tonight using my friends PSN account. I went into the playstation store and into his download lists and when the game was finished downloading & installed to my ps3, i transfered it to my vita with no problems :D. It is no longer on my ps3 but is on my vita and i have to say it's a great little game and even better is i didn't have to pay for it :p

    and it plays? strange, when i downloaded games from my euro psn account to my canadian ps3, then transferred over with my canadian psn account i get the error that the game cannot be played as its associated with a different psn account

    Difference between his and yours is that his was two Accounts in the same region. Which on most things makes a big difference.

    Re: escape plan. Worth buying it, touchscreen was annoying for me but should get use to it.

    never made a difference with psn before. any european review code i get works fine on the canadian psn account after its downloaded and vice versa

    im gonna try transferring using the ps3 instead of just straight downloading on the vita then switching psn ids

    maybe that'll work

    Yeh that would be your problem. He downloaded it on his mates account via the ps3. Switched accounts and installed it using his own account. Then transferred it over from the ps3 to the vita.

    I had region locked issues about 18 months ago. Guess it was sorted.

    Edit: actually doesn't look like, from reading his post he switched account at all. Atleast he doesn't say that. So would wonder if he could only play online with his mates account.

    Have to say other than abit of lag not having any issues with FIFA online. Played about 18 matches no disconnect only 1 freeze up during game. Have had an error code once or twice and had to load up the game again. Can't seem to find unranked quick games only ranked but really enjoying it

    You can improve the way those lower-resolution PSP games look on the PS Vita’s screen by pressing and holding the front touchscreen to bring up a Settings menu where you can activate several options. Checking “bilinear filtering” and “color space” seems to yield consistently smoother results, but experiment with your PSP games to find your favorite combination.

    I did this and GTA Chinatown Wars looks a lot better.

    Yep these combined with the ability to map the right analogue stick are great little improvements to any psp game!!

    My biggest complaint right now is I don't have the time to play all these games I have and there's more coming out soon!!!! :pac:

    Was thinking of importing it as it is definitely the game I was / am looking forward to most but I don't think I could play it without any form of English translation.

    Will have to wait for the eu release. Let us know what you think when you do get it!!

    Lads, if you're looking to add your name to a list, it's best to quote the list, add your name and then the next person does the same.

    Quick question, when adding on the PS3 you are able to put in a little message, is this possible on the Vita? I have not seen any message box.

    Lost me there, bud. I just added myself to the list on here. If I'm supposed to do more than that, I'm all ears.

    So what's the plan for the Motorstorm challenge, should we add everyone on the list or just post up times in a thread? If we're adding people I should put my username in:

    Nope, that is all you had to do.

    I was asking a question on adding people as friends on the Vita. On the PS3 when adding a person as a friend you are able to send a message but this does not seem to be the case with the Vita. Am I missing something.

    Is it easier to add everyone. Then we all can know what we have to beat.

    Makes sense and I guess uses the leaderboard facilities properly. I've edited my entry to clarify who I am on boards and who I am on PSN. Might be best for others to do the same if names are different so we aren't trying to add boards usernames into PSN or rejecting a friend request cause you didn't recognise them from boards.

    Vita hardware sales top 1.2 million
    Retail and digital game sales surpass two million units worldwide

    PS Vita hardware sales have topped 1.2 million units globally, boosted by the system's Western launch earlier this month.

    Click to view larger image
    As of February 26, software sales also surpassed two million units at both retail and across the PlayStation Network.

    The platform holder said that Vita sales "have exceeded expectations... firmly establishing PS Vita as the must-have portable entertainment device across the world".

    Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House added: "PS Vita was designed to deliver the ultimate portable entertainment experience, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the reaction we're seeing from consumers and the pace at which PS Vita is selling.

    "The market has responded and there is clear demand for a mobile device capable of providing a revolutionary combination of rich gaming and social connectivity within a real world context.

    "To sustain momentum, we're working closely with 3rd party developers and publishers to ensure the best games and franchises possible will be available on PS Vita, and our software line up for the remainder of 2012 will have something for everyone across the globe."

    Last week, Sony Computer Entertainment UK managing director Fergal Gara told CVG that the early consumer response to Vita had been "very encouraging". On Monday, Vita games took the top two spots on the UK all formats chart.

    The way I read that, it seems that total global sales is 1.2m post US and EU launch. Unless I'm mistaken about .6m had already been sold in Japan, so does that mean only .6m were sold globally over the last few days?

    Doesn't seem like a lot. Decent rather than impressive. Hopefully there won't be the same type of sales drop off that the Japanese figures experienced. The better the sales, the more devs will want to invest time and money on the platform.

    No need to re-read it as what i said is what i meant.

    I read the URL www.computerandvideogames.com/337593/vita-hardware-sales-top-12-million first then went on to the site and saw 1.2 million.

    you can, when you install the game for the first time, hold down the game app until the delete/edit screen shows up. There will be a little symbol in the top right corner and it will have delete. Click that and re-install the game and you should be fine.

    Worked for me with MvC anyway.

    I bought the treasure map for uncharted, hate looking all over for tiny little glints, or constantly having to check the net :rolleyes: and the additional game modes for stardust. Endless is great, I thought the gold trophy for surviving ten minutes in it would be super easy though :mad:

    Just in case it's of interest to those with store credit or vouchers, GAME will now be stocking the Ubisoft Vita launch titles going forward, having overcome whatever credit issue they had with Ubi last week. Not sure if they are on the shelves today though.

    Read that all PS3 and vita in game have property of Sony written on them, just in case things go bad whoever Game owe rent to can't take them.

    I got my Vita in HMV last week and it had this sticker on it.... I remember thinking I had never seen anything like that on a console box before but didn't think twice about it after that.
