I thought that was the case, I stand corrected. If you go into the PS Store and go to the downloads list it shows everything, minus movies, that you downloaded before and that tells you what can be downloaded or not.

Sorry if you knew this already.

I downloaded it through the Vita lol.

Ah, I noticed that because having used a PSP before the Vita I have lots of downloads from the Store.

So yeah, potentially really, really **** news.

I have shared on the site multiple times I have a condition that is called De Quervains Tendonitis.

It is a wrist condition that one can wind up getting basically from repetitive motions. I was diagnosed with it about 9 years ago now.

Well long story short, this morning my wrist is not feeling that good at all.

I really hope it is just a matter of it needs to get used to the size, layout of the buttons, etc.of the Vita.

As this does happen from time to time with me and something new. My wrist needs a few days to adjust to things.

I also did a lot of yard work this past weekend, so it was already inflamed, so perhaps that has a lot to do with it as well.

But it honestly never crossed my mind this could potentially happen, and seriously my wrist hurts pretty damn serious right now. Keep in mind it pretty much always hurts as I work on a computer, etc., but I just live with the pain. But right now, hurts pretty severely.

As I said, I hope it is just an adjustment period, or else I will have a Vita with games for sale, which would really, really suck. :/

PS Vita Grips (don't think they're out in EU/US just yet)

May take some portability away and sure, they don't look that great but they may help you Larry!

I played around with my brother's Vita and I am extremely impressed with the hardware. I had no idea that Sony went with an OLED display. The colours look good, the viewing angles are excellent, and I couldn't see the individual pixels (even when I tried my very best to spot them). I didn't like the operating system's UI at first but now, I prefer it over the XMB UI. I'd buy it if the selection of games is better. Right now, none of the games interest me.

I have a question though. Has anyone been able to get the remote play feature to work? I couldn't get it to connect via private network or Internet.

It can do with refinements (what OS can't on release?), but for launch it's pretty good. With how Sony transformed the PS3 XMB, I look forward to a good load of Vita OS improvements over the next 6-12 months.

The Dynasty Warriors demo was a ton of fun, game wasn't on my radar at all, but it's damn good button mashing fun.

Damn that sucks, but to be fair Ive got a bit of wrist pain when using the Vita but at least its not as harsh as the PSP Claw trying to use that analog nub killed my wrist.

Seriously AB, I think I love you right now for bringing this to my attention!! :laugh: That really may solve the issue I am having. I could personally care less about portability, I just need it to be more comfortable obviously. As the day has gone on, the pain has literally gone up to my armpit right now, which means I know it is really pretty bad as my tendon swells, which pinches nerves, which then goes up my arm, etc. so about the worse thing that could be happening is happening. So I am really hoping this may help.

I will be damned if I do not play it some more tonight though. Like I said, I may just need to adapt to it.

You've got to rebuy it, it is fixed now. PITA, I don't want to rebuy till refund.

[neo158]

You shouldn't need to rebuy it if you managed to download it, it should be in the download history.

The download was completely broken, they pulled it and put it up again - Last night you could still access it from your download list (not checked today), but it would be downloading the broken version again.

Just picked one up tonight.... I was planning to wait but ShoppersDrugMart had a "senior" sale (20% off) so I found an older person and bought one for $199....I haven't opened my Vita yet, is there a way I can download games from my computer and transfer them to my Vita tomorrow when I get my memory card?

[compl3x]

So, wait... Can we use our minis on our Vitas or not? I keep getting this error message:

An error has occurred C1-2858-3

I have a ton of minis and I'd love to be able to play them on my Vita. Especially where is my heart.

Wait...did you just pick some random old person to help you buy it? lol

[crazzyyfool]

Anyone have any trouble with the 3G Vita and top-up of the Vodafone SIM? Vodafone say they text the Vita with a code - where to the texts appear? I also can't top-up on the Voda website. :( I want my free Wipeout.

Are you a PS+ member? There's an issue with minis received free through Plus and the Vita right now.

The take a while to arrive, I was also concerned that I wouldn't get one. I topped up online with a ?5 voucher and it took about 35 mins for the text to arrive.

Also remember that you need to activate the SIM card before you can use it by phoning Vodafone on 08700 776655. :)

Yeah. I'm a PS+ member, that is how I got all of my minis. Any word on how long this is going to take to clear up? Really hope they can clear it up. The Vita has been out for awhile you would they could have had this **** sorted before we went out and bought our Vitas.

Vita supports transparent wallpapers for anyone who doesn't know.

Sony's purple Vita background with a transparent Batman overlay.

[KoL Veteran]

Got the Vita last night :woot: :woot: but I don't have the games yet haha. Only Escape Plan. Games should get here today. Can't wait to play Uncharted.

[Rudy]

LOL Nah it was my sister's mother in law

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Nice score with the senior discount. (Y)

And good news I think, playing through the pain last night I think made me wrist used to it. :laugh: My wrist pretty much does not hurt this morning.

I do not remember the PSP really giving me issues, so I hope it was just a get used to it kind of thing.

Super Stardust is kick ass as well. :yes:

[Rudy]

Yea :) and today TheSource (used to be RadioShack) has a family and friend sale with 15% off game accessories so I'll go get a 32GB memory card :)

[Nightz]

Package was processed at the post office in San Diego today, so hopefully they'll be delivering later. Now to get through 8 hours of work.

[JadeHare]

I just talked to Vodafone and they are sending out codes starting from tomorrow. normally it would take 7 days like The Ring. If you live in UK you get the code within 40 minutes, not so much for outside. I know, preferred partner preferenced to UK just like SCEE promotions. what a surprise for the Europa island.

If you have cool wallpapers to share or any tips for sweet UI customization (placement of the bubbles) I'd be eternally grateful. I currently have the two robot walls on there and Neowin theme on my ps3.

I saw the support for transparent wallpapers, pretty sweet. The wallpapers I found on other websites don't fancy me.

I'd prefer your input. The PS Vita itself is really awesome. I like it a lot.

Uncharted got delivered from Amazon this morning, so that was a lot better than expected as the original delivery estimate was March 7th. Got it installed and updated for the weekend...and maybe a bit at work as well.
