yea i'm aware of that, that's why gonna finish all the downloaded games first before formatting the card and use my own PSN account

after playing around with the system more, i guess my conclusion to trophies is it'll be loss, only back-upable to the currently login account, which is not mine. oh well.

I'm planning to buy PSVITA at Japan.

The seller told me to register under US account, is that true? I do not have PlayStation account so far.

I prefer US account.

what are the things to be consider to buy P's vita? I new to P's vita. Thinking to buy one.

It's PSVita, no apostrophe

Well, first thing's first:

1) What games are you looking for? Are the games available on the PS Vita?
2) Are you okay with a handheld device with a smaller screen than a home console?

1) ya mostly got.

2) i'm okay with handheld device so far no problem.

then? what is this series no. like 1000,2000.. etc...

I prefer English title game not JP title..

Most of the games are in Japanese, but we're seeing more English subtitles coming in like Senran Kagura Estival Versus, Digimon Sleuth, and Gundam Extreme Vs Force next year.

The Vita 1000 is the first Vita - it's thicker and has some metal parts I think, and it's got an OLED display, but no internal storage. Some people might say an OLED display is nicer, but it's subjective. It's basically more saturated, i.e. blacks are really black, red is really red - think Samsung's AMOLED displays. It also comes in a 3G + WiFi model, meaning you can use a 3G sim card inside for internet use.

The Vita 2000 - or known as the Vita Slim - is slimmer, slightly rounder, has better battery life, and uses an LCD screen PLUS 1GB of internal storage. The screen, once again, is very subjective. Go and check it out in stores if you can before you decide. The extra hour or so of battery life definitely helps if you're always on the go and gaming for long periods, not to mention the Vita is lighter as well.


You'll definitely need a Vita memory card regardless of which Vita you get, even if the Slim has the 1GB - it fills up quite fast if you play a few games at once. The proprietary memory card costs a lot as well, 16GB is RM130.


Besides the differences above, both Vita series is same everywhere else. You might want to check out the latest released Vita debut bundles with the new red and blue colors.

thanks sifu.. btw which shopping mall u recommend? in terms of reliable, not scam or selling intimate..

what is price for PS vita 2k currently?

usually purchase a games in e-store or cartridge?

You're welcome, always happy to have more Vita players!


You can check Heavy-Arms Gaming in SS15, or Impulse Gaming in Sunway - they're both reputable shops with ok-ok prices.

The Vita currently goes for about RM699-700+ depending.

Games got Playstation store or physical copies - entirely up to you, but sometimes digital copy cheaper.


You should also go and read up about the Region account. R1, R2, and R3 got different Playstation Stores with different content.

thanks again. btw can advise me on region account? PSN R1.. etc..

I'm not very sure on the details of the different Region accounts - I personally use an R3 (SEA) account because I want to take advantage of certain DLCs bundled with R3 games, and because most of the games I want are R3 releases.

I think most will recommend and use an R1 (USA) account because of it's bigger library of games, but the downside is everything is in USD, so you'll have to convert. There's a few more details you'll have to figure out that I'm not sure about an R1 account, maybe someone else here can help.

I just bought psvita. If I register through asia.playstation.com for extended warranty purpose, is it consider as R3 account??

and I bought final fantasy x/x2 hd which included x2 for digital download so require R1 account for download it..

PS: it happen that I cant redeem my x2 code via playstation store... so my registration consider R3?

so confused...

Look out at PS Store on your PS Vita, if the price of the game inside does not have the usd symbol, that mean it is not R1 account.. Simple easy.

Can R1 game play using R3 account in my psvita?

PS Vita R3 Account can play game cart from any region.
For DLC, Physical & Digital Copy must match region of PSN Store.
PS Vita cannot play digital game from other account because you can only assign one account to the PS Vita, unlike PS3 and PS4.
You have to remove existing account to use another PSN account.
