While I'm delighted I got a vita for Christmas and really like it, I can't help but notice the lack of attention it's getting from Sony.

I seriously hope that the Phantom Pain is a Vita game as I can't see anything coming out for it that interests me. Although I'll definitely give Persona a go as it has got rave reviews.

When I raised my concern, why did no one mention this game?

Yeah, looks good actually.

The screaming part mightn't exactly work on the bus though

I downloaded Everybody's Tennis from the store and for some reason the Saved Data (PSP) in settings is around 460mb when it's a couple of kb for other games. This is on top of the 1.2Gb the game is already taking up on my card. Anyone have a clue why this is? It's a fair bit of space to be taken up on my rapidly filling memory card!

I just spotted some cross buy dlc for lbp vita and lbp2 which lets you play together and use the vita screen..

I've explained it badly.

Here it is

Heard a rumour that the Vita might be included as a controller with the PS4.

Are you sure that wasn't just speculation from an IGN article?

Anyone else play Street fighter x Tekken online??

I can't find a decent game. It always pairs me with united states, mexico and canada

I had it for the PS3 and there are loads of people playing it in the UK and Ireland. The vita version is supposed to be able to play PS3 so why cant I find anyone even when I choose to search PS3 games also?

My network is NAT 2 and ports open etc. I have 50mb BB and when I was playing on xbox I was host in a lot of games. Good ping etc.

Mortal Kombat and COD BOD seems to find games (loads of russian ones for some reason) but UMvC3 and SFxT is a ghost town.

Any Ideas?

I might get it (along with UMvC3) sometime, but I think for MK, it might have to do with it being free via PS+, and as for CoD...well, it's CoD. What else. MvC, had the displeasure of being a launch title, while SFxT...well, I'm not sure, since it has cross play online, so it should have a high population count.

Do any of you use multiple memory cards on the Vita? I have a 4GB and a 16Gb. Looking to fill the 4GB with PS1 Classics and the other with the Vita stuff. No problems changing between?

I have three: two 32GBs [one for Vita games, one for PSP/PS1 games] and a 16GB one [for music/movies]. No issue swapping between them, it only requires a reboot.

However, using different PSN IDs and swapping cards can be annoyingly confusing.

Doesn't this mess up the backgrounds and icon positions? Or did Sony fix that?

I don't use different backgrounds and don't mind the icons moving about. But if you do, I can see how that would be annoying.

I have tried searching, but it's a whopper thread......:o

My 11 year old has FIFA for his Vita, but can't go online due to age restrictions. I have tried googling it, but can't find an answer. Is there anything I can do?

have you tried checking the parental settings on the vita?

Go to Settings - Security - Parental Controls. Input the code you set originally and then either switch off the filtering and allow everything or at least increase the level to the highest number [the lower it is, the more strict it is].

I think having it off also causes problems in some games/content, if you don't want any restrictions you're better off setting a higher value rather than turning it off.

whiterebel · 11-01-2013 4:48pm

I've tried setting 11, and off completely, and FIFA keeps giving the same error. Its picking up his age from the sub-account, I presume. One stupid system to have a 3+ game, and an 11 year old can't play online. Must try on the PS3 and see if its the same.

Velocity Ultra is coming to the Vita, possibly in May.

PS Mini Velocity is evolving into a full-fledged Vita game called Velocity Ultra! Good thing we didn't press the B button. Yes, British developer Futurlab is working on a Vita upgrade of its critically acclaimed shoot-em-up. While Ultra doesn't have a release date yet, Futurlab is "guesstimating" an arrival on Sony's handheld in May 2013.

Proper trophies this time too

Move to the US, Canada, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia or Japan.

I downloaded the Samurai Beatdown game. Definitely worth it. It's a rhythm game where you tap either side of the screen to attack enemies, scoring higher when it is in time with the music.

bennyx_o · 17-01-2013 9:18pm

Exact thing happened mine. Haven't used it in a while so charged it this morning and the PS button was blinking orange. Got home this evening and tired to turn it on and nothing! Tried holding the power button for 30 seconds and also tried power button, PS button and R.
