Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul

How do you take a screenshot on the Vita? For cross buy games, does it matter what platform you buy the game on to get both versions? Do I have to buy the PS3 version to get the Vita version free or can I buy the Vita version and get the PS3 version for free?

PS Home Button + Start = Screenshot

Cross Buy games are YOPO (You Only Pay Once)

Most are buy PS3 get Vita free, some are either or, you have to read the description!

Same for Sly 4

Yeah, on retail games you have to buy the PS3 version to get both, but on PSN games you can buy whichever because they are the same price.
 
Finally I got all the crowns!
Thanks to all the players that helped me here! :)

I immediately bought the COMPLETE DLC (including 3 courses and 3 characters) but I sadly noticed that you don't have any challenge on the new courses, right? Are those just for practice and online play?

Thanks.
 
Have been waiting 4+ weeks for PSO2 to arrive from Play Asia (usually they're good, never more than 3 weeks.

Starting to get impulses to pull the trigger on either another copy (EMS & tracking this time...) from somewhere else or perhaps just another memory card dedicated to JP PSN and get it for free.
I really wanted the retail version to avoid switching and i cause I love the box art though!

I need more patience methinks, or this will turn out to be the most expensive free game ever :(

I'm waiting for Amiami to get it back in stock myself. I know play asia's reputation with shipping taking forever so I never even considered them really. I only have a 4gb memory card spare and that's not enough for PSO2 with the updates.

Soon after i ordered i realized it was cheaper even with fastest shipping from Nippon Yasan as well :( They still have it in stock it seems. I could also get my inlaws to ship it over but i didn't want to hassle them! Amiami doesn't tend to restock do they? Certainly not for some of the toys i've got from there.
 
we don´t have the youtube app (or the netflix app) where I live.. is it now possible to view videos in the browser.? so I don´t need the apps..?
 
Does anyone know if there is a way to lock the store so it cannot be accessed on a unit without entering a password?

Was hoping there was something in settings, but nothing I can see.
 
I LOVE BEING ABLE TO SWAP MEMORY CARDS <3

Is it now just a case of swap around at your pleasure? Bubble positions saved to the card? What about the default apps? Would those stay in their folders when swapping?

If so, I am tempted to grab a 4GB card for all my minis.

I tried it and it moved my bubbles out of their folders and they were all randomly placed when I put my 32GB back in. :/
 
Same account on both cards. Maybe that makes a difference then? :S

This changes everything! New plan can go ahead, as I just have the one account. Double bonus should mean I can also share the 4GB with a ton of minis across mine and my son's Vita.
 
Are you using 1 account or 2 different ones? I'm using 2. 4gb is supposed to be for EU so I can play the Crash and Spyro games since it seems they're never coming to the US.

Yay for folders

Might swap the PSN games and Minis/PSM games onto my 16GB and use my 32GB purely for full games. Hmmmm

Thinking that I might do the same myself knowing that folders and setups stick.


Yep will be grabbing this as soon as I get home hopefully, and then sorting out my Vita.

48GB of gaming goodness and ease finally!

For Netflix I would say no, Netflix in browser uses Silverlight.

Youtube works in the browser.
 
It's a good day to be a PS Plus member: 20% off Guacamelee!, 100% off Virtue's Last Reward, and news on May's big IGC title in, ooh, 40 mins

From @PlaystationEU

Vita related maybe? Anything big heading to the system in May? Imagine if they secured a deal for Soul Sacrifice!

Nah.

Yet to install the update but the pictures look good. It's nice to know you can play YT in browser now, since the YouTube app is generally great but lacks some of the content you'd get on the full version. Some videos aren't even on there which is always weird.
 
I'm not sure. It feels to me like the Vita games are out a little early this month. I always thought they appeared in the second half of a month usually.

What game would you expect them to put up, though? Genuine question, I can't think of something that isn't Soul Sacrifice, and I can't see them making that an IGC game on day one.
 
This has bothered me. I have got my Vita with a Norwegian account, but I can't find the Youtube app anywhere in the store. Searched the entire store and looked through everything in the apps section.
The YouTube app is only available in countries officially supported by YouTube with a localized version. Now, I believe YouTube added some countries recently, but whether the app will be updated to reflect that remains to be seen. At least you can watch YouTube videos with the browser now.

The third thing bothering me (not huge) is that Near thinks I'm in Bærum when I'm in Tromsø... It did know the location when I was at my University so suddenly I had moved 1100km (it's more like 1600 on Google Maps). I have a 3G model with GPS, but could it be because of my WiFi or are there just too few Vitas here? :P
Near uses Skyhook's database of WiFi networks to determine you location. I suppose it's possible you neighbor moved and brought his access point with him. If you register your own WiFi network with Skyhook, it should clear up your location in a few weeks.
 
Here is how I have set it up!

All crap psn apps in one folder with only important apps outside.

I am loving it how icons are not bobbing up and down in folders.

There is one folder with crap apps! Welcome Park, Network Provider and Remote play [for now :p]
 
I don't have a PS3 but I'll have one eventually. What do I have to do to activate the cross buy? Buy the PS3 version then the Vita will appear free on my PSN store?

For retail games you have to buy the PS3 version... If you buy the disc you have to have a PS3 in order to get the Vita version. But if there's a PSN version of a retail game you can buy the PS3 version and download the Vita version fine.

For PSN games you can just grab the Vita version of Cross-Buy games and you'll automatically get the PS3 version too.
