Nope, got it from some dude I know in Tokyo.

lol, that's a fucking rip off. Suddenly Play-Asia seems like a better option *facepalm*
Thanks anyway.
Nope, I don't think they will, either.
There's GPS PSP applications, I'm sure there will be one for Vita... I'm actually pretty certain Monster Radar (a Vita game) is actually made by that GPS studio.
Wow, you seem to know about SONY more that I thought.
Quick question, do you think more PSP games will become available on PSN after Vita's launch?!
I know many things about Sony. Some things I'd rather not know...
As for if more PSP games will make the digital jump as we near the Vita's launch, well it's possible. I think at this point any games not up there are likely to come down to licensing issues that may not ever be resolvable. Though, there should certainly be a fire sale on a large amount of the software.
Have just done this. Near works perfectly at my brothers which is a brand new estate but it doesn't work for me 5 minutes out from the city.
I've also done it right now, let's see how it turns out, since my "access point" is just my notebook using Connectify to share the dorm wired connection.
Has anyone tried Remote Play? I'm wondering what games (if any?) at this point work with it? I just connected both the PS3/Vita, and can't seem to launch anything game- related. I didn't try much (and maybe I'm being ridiculous) but I tried GTAIV and Fifa 12. I know on the PSP, all I really played remotely was Pixel Junk Eden but I just assumed there would be more support for it.
There isn't anything that works with the Vita that didn't already work with the PSP.
Alright. Any idea if this will change with newer software? Is there a list to show supported content?
Edit: I guess this was early wishful thinking. I just kept thinking of this video of Vita running KZ3 at TGS:

But Eurogamer has stated that in a later update, it will support all games:

I have no idea how you're supposed to know those, they look very random. Why not just tell us as an extra challenge?

I ABSOLUTELY love tennis.. I have already logged 20 hours. The only thing thats annoying me at the moment is the fact that the "Win a game online" trophy hasn't been unlocked despite me winning 10+ games online and all the other online trophies being unlocked =/
Not sure what to do about that? Has this sort of thing ever happened with PS3 games?

how do I find a list of my PSP games I downloaded? Just from that massive list on PSN? No way to filter by platform? I'm sure I had the '10 free games' from when I had a PSPgo, but I can't see them in the PSN download list..
and some of them say they aren't downloadable on PS3 (patapon, locoroco and killzone), so does that mean they won't work on vita?

I see only one link to a download list in the PS Store app on the Vita and it seems you can't sort it in any way.
I'm 99% sure you need to be on the same account for remote play via the internet.
hmm, interestingly with the Docomo SIM card in, its picking up UK networks. Won't let me connect, but does let me select from the different operators, and edit the APN.
I wonder if I had the top end plan from docomo it'd allow roaming.
Annoyingly it still reports 'invalid SIM' if I put my vodafone one in.

Sadly, yeah. The change when they invalidated PSP games on PS3 for redownload was really badly handled so far.mrklaw said:
Anyway I found MediaGo to be a lot better at browsing the DL list (it's faster and easier to navigate it then PS3, plus it's organized in pages so you can skip around rather then just scroll).
Locoroco works for sure.
Anyway so far Vita only sees PSP games on Asian PSN (I got a few on SG account, and they worked even though store is not up for Vita), for US/Euro we'll have to wait until Feb I think.

Depends on the GAFer. Had some good experiences with some and gotten the runaround from others.

Hey J-Gaffers! Have you tried PSVita media manager for PC? How does it works? Does it lets you back-up all your profile on your PC and restore it later?
Does it need to be connected to internet and logged to PSN?
I was thinking to a crazy situation like this:
I have to restore my games and my account (for example, in a near future, something like 10 years from now) in a new PSV but PSN is down, can I it without being logged?

Those of you that have a 3G Vita - can you create a hotspot with it and share the Vita's connection with a laptop or similar?
Yeah, that's the site. You basically have to input all the information they want and wait.
I'm using it and it's basically a few folders from/to which you move the Vita data. I think there's an option to backup your profile but I haven't checked.

Also there is only English in the HK version. Options just has Controls and Audio, but the Audio is just volume control or subtitles.
it would be so helpfull if we had a update in ot with people who are open for it.
The spine stated that Chinese text is included. I think setting your VITA to chinese language will do the trick.

Did you play the first one? If you did and love Ridge Racer 4 then RR2 is well worth buying as it's essentially a love letter to Type 4 in terms of music and courses. Still one of my favourite PSP games.
A number of people have asked me to buy Vita's for them (I'm in HK).
I don't mind answering questions about where to get them, latest prices and the market here but sorry guys: I don't want to deal with being responsible for getting a Vita to you, getting the best price, shipping and dealing with any issues you may have.
Edit: I know this sounds a little unkind, but I have a lot going on at the moment with a new job, moving apartment. I hope you guys understand.

No, not unkind at all. I wouldn't want the responsibility either. If something happened to the order, it could make for some bad blood in the forums.
Thanks for being open to give us your impressions, etc.
Are digital downloads in the HK store at a reduced price like they are in the Japan store?

Answers to those questions would be very nice indeed!
I'm trying to persuade someone i know in HK to get one for me, and knowing where the best prices are would be a great help. Thanks!
It will work with different and non-Japanese accounts.
Yes, but the discount seems to be all over the place. For example: (retail/PSN)
Army Corps of Hell - 388/374
BLAZBLUE CONTINUUM SHIFT EXTEND - 388/350
DYNASTY WARRIORS NEXT - 418/377
RIDGE RACER - 309/279
ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3 - 388/338
Answers to those questions would be very nice indeed!

I guess if your friend knows his way around HK; Golden Shopping Arcade.

Worked NP for me -- don't have to touch the controller.
On that note, my PS3 makes a really light buzz even when in sleep mode when I have remote start turned on... is this only me?

Golden Shopping Centre in Sham Shui Po or Oriental 188 Shopping Centre in Wan Chai are the places you want to go.
You can expect to get the WiFi system for about HKD$2500, 3G for around HKD$2900.
Game prices are variable. I recommend looking at the official prices here: http://asia.playstation.com/hk/en/news/pressDetail/249570
I've seen stuff like Katamari marked up to shit at HKD$450, but on the other hand if you're lucky you can get used stuff like Ridge Racer for HKD$180. I saw Monster Radar for HKD$250 but no idea if that works here.
HMV get random stuff in daily and sold at the official price. No systems though.
Official accessories like the cradle, mains adapter are easy to come by in HMV or the shopping centres and not marked up.
Also, Hong Kong Records seem to have everything but at an incredible 30% markup.
Edit - note about memory cards, there seems to be no 32GB cards in HK and 16GB is hard to come by, possibly marked up too.
