just push once on/off button will do instead of hold 5 second ask for shut down .

hi i have few questions to ask.. is it possible for me to dl vita games on PC then transfer it to my vita through CMA ? also, i have been using for two days, and my vita sometimes tend to freeze..is it normal ? (normaly this happen when i am downloading sth in the background)

Nope, unfortunately! You can do that with PS3 though... Ask someone with PS3 about it...?

Considered "Normal" after the latest FW update... well, for me at least... And I shouldn't say it's FROZEN, must just be me do not have the patient to wait it out as it just LOAD and the PS Button doesn't work for the longest... 5 min... before I got pissed off and turn it off/on to reboot it and try again... rinse and repeat the outrageous act until I succeeded

so um, i'm gonna get a PSV soon. and i'm wondering whats it to do with US ver, SG ver or JAP ver. isit smth to do about the credit card payment thing as in some cards restricted for US cant be used to pay if the PSV is a US ver. Please state other reasons if any.

if so how bout the games, will a US ver PSV be able to play a JAP ver game (i.e. disgaea, the jap one) or vice versa. also what's with the R1 R3 thingy i've seen some people posting about.

Lastly, the current price for a wifi PSV set in MYR (some stores just wanna rip you off and watch you burn). And if there is other things you think i should know before i buy a PSV please do advise thankyiu in advance everyone who tried to help!!

If you are talking about GAME CARDS... VITA is "region free", simply put you can play games of any region on VITA of any region.
BUT, when it comes to DLC and Digital Games... that's different story, "Regional Restriction" applies to these sucker terms!
Meaning, you can't download extra content from JP PSN for a US ver (R1) game, and so on...
Digital Games are stuck with the PSN account you registered with, in a sense, it's "region locked" for Digital copies! ... for now? (Don't know what'd happen after the release of PS4 after all the claims they made with DIGITAL FREEDOM, sorta...)
FYI, PSN accounts are US (R1), Japan/Europe (R2) and Asia (R3), you can simply google for more info.

Some people have issues with credit card while some don't... Something to do with credit card verification? I don't know... I used to have problems with Asia (HK) account but after few tries, I could pay with my Hong Leong CC... To answer your first question, credit card payment is a lesser problem, providing your CC is a legit one, and not stolen card... The DLC, game content availability and Online play are the major concerns (probably trophies not transferable after switching to another account... too?)...

Last one... Apologize, I hardly follow up on the VITA pricing nowadays... Hope someone could get you the latest price about VITA!

SG set is selling around RM650 nowadays. Dunno about MY set though.

oh i see thanks for the quick replies! appreciate it.

also if i buy a 2nd hand Vita, will i be using HIS PSN acc, or will i create a new PSN account? (heard PSN accounts are like limited to 3 accounts per device or so) cus i think it'll be like a BIG prob if i dont have a PSN account which beats the reason why i buy PSV to play online games. also what should i take note of when buying 2nd hand vita

also for online plays, say Ragnarok of R2, will i face any prob playing it on a MY/HK set?

I'm interested to know about this too. What you mentioned are digital contents right?
Meaning we can buy the Vita(hardware-wise) from SG, UK etc. and they won't make any difference? Just that the PSN account we created is region locked?

In the GS, how come new UK set is cheaper than SG set? Same thing right?

I doubt the ex-owner is willing to let you inherit his account... since the account is linked to his email account... or shall I say, if you don't mind by any chance having some sensitive info to be sent to him even though he let you had his account...

I can't give much advice other than common sense about trading applies... See if someone else is willing to share what to watch out for when getting a 2nd VITA, as I don't have experience with 2nd hand.

Same goes for online play, never do it myself. My guess is R2 COULD not be played in R3 account? Anyone may be able to tell you with first hand experience but it is a concern if online play is essential for you...

For physical copies, the carts, yes, you can play in any VITA regardless of which region the carts from, just need to do extra work if you get it second hand...
Well, there will be too much to elaborate about the PSN account... the memory card, the DLC, and online play.
1. Your memory card will keep the game data (certainly digital games) and account info; you get a memory card with said US account and try to access HK account, it will ask you to format the memory card or go back to US account. So you get digital copy from US account, once you format the MC, the game is gone with the account (Note: you just deactivate account, not closed! and of course, you can always log back in US account and re-d/l the game). SO You cannot bring the digital copy you bought from US account to HK account, and for the same game in HK account, it is still considered NOT PURCHASED... hence a way of "region lock" on the digital copy.

2. DLC, you can't d/l them for a JP game from a US account... because US PSN does not have the R2 game, it contains only R1 game (not sure about HK and JP though)... That's one thing to consider when picking a PSN. so semi-R lock here.

3. Online play, if you get the pass from US PSN, sorry, like case 1., you have to buy the pass again if you want to go online play in HK PSN... but then I don't know if there's a way around it, never bother with the online play after all since it comes with digital copy hence you're locked to that regional account anyway... but definitely did hear lots of complaint regarding the online play from those who own physical carts...

Don't know why UK set is cheaper than SG... Just knew that they get you all the hassle to discourage you from buy their products outside of your regions for a reason... of course, they will still shut up and take your money anyway...

The 2nd hand you are implying is the Vita set right, not the games carts?

The game cart!

Why ah? Just the game card right? Not just plug in and play?

TY very much @El-LoboSolitario really appreciate the help alot! gonna get a PSV very soon

Oh, what I am saying, yes, it is just plugged in and played, but for second hand game cart (depend on the game), you may need to cut its "bond" with the previous owner ( the owner might let it go, but the cart might not think you are the owner yet )

You will know once you get certain games of second hand copy, otherwise with a new cart, you just knock yourself out and do the obvious one.

Not a problem... I can't answer all and only shared my experiences for something I had gone through frustration with trial and error, but there are some I just heard from but shared regardless, may be someone else can either give you better idea or point out and correct me if I had misled...

Guys, I got a quick question.

If I purchase a game in PSN and downloaded the game into my Vita memory card. Can I transfer the game into PC and delete it off from my Vita's memory card? and in the future if I want to play the game back, can I just load it back into my memory card?

This is because I am thinking of should I get the 32gb or the 16gb memory card. If I were to get 16gb memory card, I am afraid that I may ran out of space.

Thank you

You can backup downloaded games to PC via "Content Manager Assistant". The backup will keep your downloaded games file and save files. After backup, you can delete the game from memory card. You can restore the game anytime to memory card without needed to re-download the game from PSN store.

Thank yoouuu

Sifus, if I buy sg version of vita online. Can I register to ps plus acc.tqvm
