I've been doing a bit of searching on google trying to find a answer to this question to no avail. I'm hoping someone on here can shed some light on the situation.

What the hell is Sony doing to resolve the issue of not being able to use Minis we got as PS+ subscribers on our Vitas? I know they are "aware" of the problem, but they haven't really updated us from there.

I downloaded another PS+ mini last night and tried it but still received the same error message. This doesn't seem like a complicated issue. It isn't aproblem with Minis just ones we've got as PS+ members.

Appreciate any info...

Similar situation on Android phones too. Games that you already have they ask you to buy again from the pocket store.

I mean regarding games that you have got via PlayStation plus like destruction derby not showing as purchased and asking you to buy again for the mobile platform.

Yeah I have never gotten a single mini I got for free as a PSN+ subscriber to show up on the Vita. Not sure if they should or not, but never has worked.

As of Vita firmware 1.65 - minis with a preset expiry date (i.e. those obtained via PlayStation Plus) now load correctly... (Y)

Well I got the latest update, and either none of the Minis I have are compatible with the Vita, or it still is not working?
Is Canabalt a Mini that should work on the Vita for example? Or Hungry Giraffe?

Reading around GAF it looks like it's still not working for us US guys.

I played "Where is my heart" fine after the update.

I can't download hungry giraffe, though.
