@VectorTwoSix

I still have my PSP copy. Probably the best non-Team Silent, Silent Hill game. I really liked it. I thought the story was really good and I also liked Travis a lot. And the OST is also fantastic. I still listen to it on a regular basis

Can't hurt to ask Tea, even if you get one pre-owned, I'd really like to get my hands on a copy - thanks!

Hey all - Sony has confirmed a manufacturing issue with the Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers and as such it will no longer be listed for retail/release (until further notice).

All orders are being notified and refnds will be processed accordingly as requested by the distributor.

Sorry about that!

Ok Seeing as its an awesome little device with a ton of features and it's not always easy to figure out how to do everything on your own, I thought it would be best to start a thread where Guys can post their discoveries or ask for help:

The first few have already been posted on our Site in the normal PSV thread, and here they are:

Posted by Charmi - Tip: PS Vita only continues downloading in the background when the system automatically times out. Vita pauses all downloads when you manually hit the standby button. Just found that now, thought someone might find the info useful

-

Posted by Cleophee, info from trendy gamers: Activating Trophies on Second hand PSvita game -It may be a little early for used copies of Playstation Vita games to show up in stores, but if you happen to have a previously used copy of a Playstation Vita game, you know that you are unable to get trophies on that game. This is because only the first player to use the cartridge is able to unlock trophies.

In order to get around this, go to the home screen of your Vita, hold the game icon until it turns into a bubble, and delete it. The next time you start the game, it will re-install, ready for you to unlock trophies

I had a hell of a time finding the PPPOE wi-fi settings, lucky for me a random person on twitter told me what to do:

1.settings
2. network
3.wifi settings
4. Make sure the box next to wifi is not ticked or else you cant edit.
then at access points select the wifi signal its picking up and choose its advanced settings option.
then select IP adress settings. and there is the PPPOE settings.

jeepers! could they have hid it anymore O.o

Last night I noticed darker spots/blotches on screen when the Vita was displaying a black screen. At first I thought it was the screen protector, but after a quick check up I realized it was the screen.

Just read that these darker blotches are nothing to be alarmed about, and is common for OLED Screens. Colours still display perfectly. The cause of this has something to do with tiny bits of energy leaking during the screens refresh passes which unevenly light up the pixels. Black spotting won’t always occur in the same area.

Also - somebody please add me on psn. So far, Friends = 1

You can download the PC content manager here: http://cma.dl.playstation.net/cma/win/gb/index.html Allows for handy backups too.

Also... you can turn the music on the main menu off. Gosh it was driving me mad (Settings -> Sound & Display -> System Music)

Got mine yesterday, and all I can say is wow. It's stunning.

Added you on friends Charmi. ^^

Thanks cloephee

USB Charging – You can only charge your PS Vita through the usb cable when it is turned off. It will not charge on standby mode or when it is turned on. That only works when charging through the ac adapter thing.

According to the manual charging takes 2hour 40min from a totally dead state using ac adapter. dunno about usb cable, but it will definately be slower.

Anyone know how to (if you can) highlight, copy and paste text in the Vita's web browser?

There is a glitch in the firmware on start up, you get stuck in a loop after saying that you want to use an exiting Vita account on the Vita system. Select "I have an existing account" then select "I don't want to use the account of the Vita system.", this will bypass the loop. After the setup process has completed you may use the your PSN ID.

@Charmi I added you on PSN. ^_^

I own a wi-fi only vita, so I know its not gonna be accurate. But it doesn’t seem to work at all. Keeps on telling me “could not find location” Anyone here tried it, and got it running correctly?
