Sony PSVITA Discussion

Even the Daily Tournaments will be reset on the 22nd so hopefully all the online stuff will be worked out.

Yeah, nothing starts getting officially counted in online play until then. Except for the loyalty bonuses and your own course records - single player stuff.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I'm so confused(hot shots related) in 2 reviews I read, they both stated that Ad-Hoc was not only to play people locally(think near) but also to gather friends from anywhere and do a "simultaneous tournament" Are we just missing something??

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

fishepa and I are going to at least try a tournament at the same time. The Party app works good.

the way it is now, there's no way to be online and in ad hoc. I always though ad hoc was local"er" multiplayer.

I now have 3 games for the Vita. Uncharted, Wipeout and Lumines but no Vita till the 22nd lol. I'll also be picking up MLB the Show when it comes out.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

See Kev...I thought the same exact thing. In one of the reviews(which I read this section 3 times) He states explicitly, that in Ad Hoc you can challenge local friends, or from anywhere. Every time I go into ad-hoc, it always gives us the message that you will be disconnected from online.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I saw a rumor that along with Vita games being buy two, get one free at Target starting on Sunday, that they will be giving a 4GB memory card with purchases of the WiFi version. I think I saw it on the CAG forums.

Hopefully if it's true I get the $20 gift card from my preorder AND the 4GB, even though I already bought an 8GB.

Then with the buy two, get one deal I'll only have to pay $60 for three games by using the gift card.

Are you just sitting there looking at the game packages? Sadly, that's what I would be doing

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Soooo...I thought I might have seriously had the first bricked Vita. I had tried connecting to my wireless hotspot while going to work (to see how Near is really supposed to work), but I tapped on what I guess was an empty space on the connection list instead of the hotspot. The Vita didn't like that and went to some black screen with two options - something about Network Operator and Cancel. And it stayed there - hard lock frozen because neither of those buttons responded to taps. Best of all, I couldn't turn it off.

The Vita ended up sitting in my car turned on, screen display and all (safely tucked away, mind you) for roughly 7 hours. It died shortly after I got home, so I figured this was the chance to recharge it and get it running again. After getting it charged to where the orange light went solid, I hit Power.

Nothing.

Tried holding it, pressing it several times, no good, still wouldn't come on. At this point I'm freaking out. Fortunately, I found out from the online user guide that the Vita has something I didn't expect - a safe mode. It's activated by holding power until the mode's menu comes on - I think it was around 20 seconds or so. It's so long that you couldn't do it by accident. I gave the first option a shot "Restart the Vita System" and there was life! I didn't lose any data, from the freeze and eventual shutdown either, thankfully.

So yeah - if you ever have problems getting it to start up, there's that. Just make sure it's got some charge and hold the power button down a really long time. There's options on that safe mode menu for upgrading the firmware, reformatting the memory card, and factory defaulting the Vita itself as well.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Silly question, but what comes standard in the box aside from the extras? AC Adapter? UBB Cable?

Yes, starting Sunday Target will have a B2G1 free deal on all Vita games.

Good Info

[Brandwin]

For the $20 gift card at Target. Is it for shipping only or can we pick up in store as well?

yeah a power adapter and a USB cable that you use to plug into the power adapter/PS3/computer. There are also these Augmented Reality flashcards. I have no idea what they are for, something to do with a future style of game. I can't remember anything else in there.
