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. :/

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 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?

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.

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.

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:

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.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
