You're keeping this community alive thanks man been listening for years now!
I don't usually give likes and comments, but the people who make vids about our beloved vita, deserve it 100%
Thanks you two! Your support means the world to me! 🤗
@@PSVitaat2am Nah thank you! I'll keep watching if you keep making videos!
unless u are a physical collector theres no reason not to mod the vita and just get all the games that way. i like the vita because its so portable, but i dont want to carry around 10 cartridges of games everywhere i go, u can get all your games on a 500gb micro SD so u would be crazy not to.
Fair enough, even though I'm a physical collector I can't argue with you on the fact that it's way more convenient via that method.
You can mod it even if you are a physical collector.
I bought a 3g OLED for this reason. I've replaced the 3g module with a micro sd card reader & 512gb card. Now I have almost all my digital games from vita, ps1, psp & psp minis on it (about 15 aren't, plus any newer purchases, as I hit the 500 bubble limit!) can play my physical vita games & have all my 130 physical psp games copied to it!
@@quiddity1977very overlooked mod, i did the same thing and i also added the USB C mod, i dont recommend it as its finicky but the internal MicroSD is great
I'm just incompetent and don't know how to mod s*%t
@@CanadianLotus easier than ever before, look up a henlo guide
Didnt we already know this a while ago?
Only the the most nerdy and alone knew
I didn't know you could still use credit cards. I've been using $10 gift cards this whole time.
Not everyone. Especially those who are new to the PS Vita community, so I figured it was worth mentioning just in case. 🤗
@@simonbelmont84 Anyone who still uses a ps vita are nerdy and alone silly
@@simonbelmont84 I will take that as a compliment.
Awesome video as always. You could still download games directly on your PSP too. You just have to disable your wifi security settings in order to sign into your psn account on the PSP.
Oh interesting, I never downloaded any games for the PSP so I wasn't aware of this. Good to know! 💪
Great video James! As always! Keeping up with all this good news for the PS Vita is great! I was wondering how, and if you could purchase any PS Vita and PS 3 games anymore, now I know! Thanks! And a big BOO! to Gamestop! Did I just mention them again! 😊
Yes and that's a forbidden word in some territories! 🤣
Thank you James, I'm using different methods to load my games on both Vita and PS3 right now but I love watching your videos, they're always make my day.
Thanks James ;)
Thanks buddy, I appreciate those kind words. You rock!
I already knew how to add funds. I would rather know how to show the full storefront on the Vita as games keep disappearing from there.
You can still find these games using the search function, but it's harder to just browse for games you don't know about yet.
I know how you feel, I really do wish there were a way around this. But unfortunately as far as we know one hasn't been found. 😔
@PSVita at 2am For now, all we can do is recommend the titles we know are great to each other so we can find them.
You should do a video listing some of the digital only games on the store that are worthwhile. Or just a list of obscure digital games no one knows about. 👍
I got the platinum trophy for Mercenary Kings on the PS Vita. I'm mainly trophy hunting on the PS Vita since plenty of platinum trophy lists tend to get grindy, especially Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
That's for sure, there have been some Platinum trophies in the past that I've just plum giving up on. Even though I love the game. 😭
Anyone else notice that the film area on the store is now gone?
Here in Croatia when you have an croatian account since of start of 2023 we can't access ps vita store at all and on a ps4 and ps5 store you can only purchase with giftcards because we changed curency to Euro €, 5 months in and it's still the same situation. 😕
Wow really? I wasn't aware of this, I'm very sorry to hear it's that way in your territory. ☹️
I barely use my vita nowadays unless it's for a small discount or the neptunia rebirth trilogy (my laptop can't handle high end 3D games unfortunately) but I'm mostly on my switch or PS4 nowadays😅😅😅
Hey nothing wrong with that, got to choose the system that's right for you! 🤗
@@PSVitaat2am so true !
I remember when I learned about having to add money on the website to buy stuff on the vita. It was annoying for sure, so I wrote down prices of games I wanted to save me time later.
Very good method here, Sony certainly isn't making things easier as time progresses, so tips and tricks like this are always welcome!
I'm glad a method still exists. However I'm going to say the quiet part out loud -- they made it so cumbersome I'd rather use CFW to install whatever I want to. I buy Vita games whenever I can find them for reasonable prices and if I already had a digital copy I just delete it to free up space.
I can understand how you feel there, Sony certainly isn't making things easier as time progresses.
I can still load prepaid PlayStation cards on my Vita directly without having to use a PS4 or PS5.
I just checked the PlayStation store on my Vita and it’s giving me the option to enter gift card numbers.
Yes that's true, unfortunately that's the only way we can add funds to the PS Vita directly. 😔
the Vita homebrew app that of course let's you download back ups of PSP and PS Vita games has been the go to for official games for me
I can understand that, with the official store being such a mess and all.
Modding your Vita is the solution 🕶️🔥
True that! 💪
This was the workaround for the 3ds when they closed down the card and giftcard redemption. Just instrad you used the switch or the web.
I found that if you get some of the Plus games that are ps3/ps4 you can get cross games for the PSVita by looking at the library/transaction history to download them. Enjoy!
Yes this is definitely true, and basically the only way for us to get discounts on PS Vita games anymore. Cross buy was one of the best ideas Sony ever had, I really wish more companies would follow suit.
Very apropiated the Batman footages, because buying a digital vita Game really makes you feel like a super detective
A perfect analogy right there! 🤣🤣🤣
Ever since this all started, I have not been able to purchase credit on a browser or my PS4 (I finally got one), I can buy PS4 games directly, but I can not buy credit to add to my account, it just tells me something went wrong if I try. The only way for me to purchase PS3 or Vita games is to purchase a gift card and add it that way. 🤷♂️
Really? That's odd. I haven't heard of people having this issue, I wonder if it differs by region then. 🤔
@PSVita at 2am I just got the PS4 earlier this year and I thought it would work after I got it, but it still does it. The only way for me to add money to my PS account is to buy a gift card.
I've had identical troubles with the web store for years -- it absolutely rejects any attempts to add funds via credit card or PayPal. I may try the gift card option but start with a small denomination in case I don't have as good a luck with it as you did.
Same with my PS4 pro I can only buy anything even PS plus with gift cards
Thanks this was a big help
Hey no problem, I'm glad the video was able to help. 🤗
I visited the ps vita store yesterday but if you have a modded ps vita there’s really no reason to use it.
Yes that's true, these techniques won't be for everybody.
My Vita is hacked but not all games are available. How to I install Pinball Arcade ?
@@saintsinister8597 I have no answer to your question bro. Have you downloaded PKGJ?
OK, if you're trying to buy something on PS3 store and it throws errors at you no matter how you try - delete all saved bank cards from web/PS4/PS5 and then buy from PS3. Hope to save someone their sanity. PS Vita store sometimes blocks buying DLC, same reason and solution. My solution to this is to bulk buy everything I want and then go back and add bank card. I love physical media and collecting but recently I had my vanilla GTA 4 copy go crazy (does not launch and throws errors), so now I need a digital version.
Oh interesting, thank you so much for the tip! I know a lot of people are going to find this useful! 💪
it's possible to check the PS3's blu-ray drive (I have the PC version of GTA IV and I have took time to get it working right)
Hey James love u bro also thanks for the good news also how many plats do u have on vita I gave 1
Thanks brother, right back at you! As for platts I'm not 100% sure, last I checked I think it's around 50ish? 🤔
I've bought multiple PSVita games through the digital store
Thank you so much for supporting the store! I wish more people did.
This process is why I hacked my Vota. And the Store is useless now since you don’t even get most PSP or PS1 content now unless you already bought it
You do have a point there. 😭
Do I need a PS5 or PS4 to add credit or can I do it on a web browser too?
Why I’m glad my modded vita has the full vita library
Yep yep very true! 😁
I'm hoping to get a vita soon. And the digital store better not close by the time I do. Because I'm not paying over 100 dollars for the ratchet and Clank collection physically
mod it and use the free shop lol
@@Zonenkind84I’m not sure I want to become a criminal
So I need a Playstation card to buy games on the vita can't use my debit card on the vita anymore
I’m always confused so sadly you can’t take credit for that James. Always a pleasure to watch your videos James.
Hahaha! Hey it's all good my man! Thanks for watching, I appreciate all your support! 💪
Very useful thanks
My pleasure! Hopefully this will make the PS Vita store experience a bit more smoother.
The gift that keeps on giving, JAMES THE CONSOLE NECROMANCER
Thanks buddy, we PS Vita fans got to stick together! 💪
Sony and Vita owners:
Still a better love story than Twilight.
heh, not like one sided love stories are uncommon after all.
.....or abusive relationship stories as well
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this! - I do use the PSVita store ... but most games I'd like to buy are missing / removed :|
Some of them are quite a bit more expensive here than on other platfoms ...
I can understand how you feel, it's really sad that we don't get sales anymore and that so many games have been delisted. 😔
Yeah, I still really enjoy using my PSVita, though, for emulation - and for the PSVita games I can still get. No other handheld yet matches the Vita's comfort, D-pad quality/placement and handiness in combination with a snappy operating system.
Retroid Pocket 3+ is the closest Vita match I've found - it has great design but doesn't run Linux - only Android which has more latency than emulation on Vita and Linux. Also RetroArch for Android is less optimized requiring a messy mix of various additional stand-alone emulators. So ... PSVita is still the winner :)
considering the hacking scene with those consoles, I think that's a valid reason to discontinue credit/debit cards support.
I guess at the very least we can always take solace that we can still use gift cards on the store. 🤔
@@PSVitaat2am yes, and that's my only method of topping up actually. Sometimes we can even get better deals at stores than psn itself.
When you buy PSP games on the vita, do they play normally as any other game?
Yes for the most part, there might be a minor alterations to the controls with the extra dual analog stick, but other than that yeah.
@@PSVitaat2am Okay thanks, I bought LittleBigPlanet for the PSP and it worked perfectly!
But the vita wont allow to. Connect to Sony servers. Every time i dry to go into the Playstation store on the vita, it tells me to sign in and then wo t connect to the server .
Have you tried doing the two-step verification that Sony did with the latest PS Vita firmware?
@PSVita at 2am yes, as a matter of fact, I had to do that to add funds to my wallet. But the vita won't connect to the server to even get that far.
Now, my Vita is hacked with Hekatu or whatever, but I desperately want pinball arcade , and it not available on the list of emulated games.
You really should sell Vita Accessories in your merch store, especially since we are all vita fans
Hey not a bad idea! 🤔
@@PSVitaat2am I did mention it before a while back, I recommend you sell vita display stands
@PSVitaat2am you could sell vita game cases (have it hold like 60 games or something)
Vita display stand
Vita protection shell
Vita carry case
@PSVitaat2am if you do I thing they'd sell well considering everyone who follows you either already has a Vita or is interested in one. Selling Vita accessories makes sense
@@PSVitaat2am maybe post a video about the idea and see what your fans think?
If you do, please give me a shout out
Thats why I modded my Vita, and PS3 and dont have to worry about any of this. Sony just wants you to buy the new platforms games (PS4, PS5) they woupd make so much more money if they made things available and easy. Emulation is the way 👍
Yep that certainly true, I think they're doing their best to discourage us at this point.
Hey James.. 2am is international language for get those Root Beers ready. It's 2am somewhere, pop open those Mugs Root Beers!
Whoa you're right! If I decode what you just said that means exactly that! 😱
I don't think I've used the Vita store since 2020 or 2021.
I need to buy the Nurse Love games though.
You won't regret it Neo, a solid purchase! 🤩
LOL'd pretty hard when the picture of C-Ville popped up. Not really an accurate representation of the outrage but funny effort nonetheless.
Thanks! I tried! 🤣
I haven't bought a straight vita game for a while, but have gotten some crossbuy. Mostly because of space issues.
I can understand how you feel there, it seems like there's so many great games on the PS Vita that they're just never is enough room. 😱
I don't play it but always carry it on my backpack and actully was looking in the store to purchase mega man legends ps1 now i want to buy more
Are there ps1 games available for the vita on the store?
Yes they're definitely are Steven, quite a bit too. 😁
And I can still buy a PlayStation funds card and add it so I can buy games? Because I’m not that tech savvy at doing all the kooky things u brainiacs do here😂..
the title really sounds like a youtube drama video
Well in a way it is I guess, Sony certainly has given us some drama in the past that's for sure. 🤣
Where theres a will theres a way. Even if sony dont care.
and for those who just want an easy and "cheaper" way there are OTHER methods.
but its good to see that for people without modded vitas. there is still a way to get the games they want.
p.s the nuggets in japan are fish and tofu.
Great info James
keep it comming
Do you know if there is a list of any private servers opening for online games.
i reember you mentioned little big planet got a private server and thats working amazingly.
id love to see a couple of servers for some of the old clasics become available.
thanks for another great video
Hey my pleasure! Thank you so much for watching as usual. Oh and by the way your nugget comment has now officially made me hungry! 😋
I think modding is cool but for the vita ive been holding off doing it even tho i have 2 of them i just like keeping it in its original state haha im probably the only one that feels like this but its the only way to get certain games... might have to get a 3rd one to mod..
Don't feel bad, I actually feel very similar to you. I really do wish we could be receiving all of this content the official way. I would much more prefer it.
@PSVita at 2am exactly man it sucks,any thoughts on why Sony would create a backbone then months down the line create that disappointment of a "hand held Q" if its pretty similar other than the backbone being able to play Xbox etc
I noticed this when I recently picked up my vita to see if I could access the store
Yeah it looks like it's taking more and more detective work in order to get it to function correctly. 🤔
@@PSVitaat2amI didn’t need to buy anything but I was just curious. Also I checked my previous purchases. Haha
Even getting your Vita added to your account can be a challenge. Talking of detective work, I recently bought a second Vita for my kid from ebay. It was still registered to the initial owner. As it had gone through a couple of hands I had to backtrack its purchasing history through two more previous owners to get hold of the account holder, who then removed it from his account so I could finally add it to mine. So dumb this cannot be done from the device itself, not even by factory resetting.
I am sorry, but I am one of the "Not using a product for its original intention," type of guys. What I mean is I use my Vita /Vita TV for emulation only at this point. I don't think I have ever actually visited the Sony Store since owning a Vita back in 2020. I am not really a handheld console buyer of games sort of guy. Yes, I DO buy games (mainly on Steam,) just never have on a console. For me, they are usually way overpriced for what they are. Sometimes handheld console games can cost even more than their PC equivalents and have content removed. So, I will still love and play my Vita as always, but I have no interest in the shop, just in it's emulation abilities. But, thanks James. I know a lot of people will be happy with this news. But I am afraid I am not one of them.
That's more than fair! I understand that the PS Vita store is not for everybody, especially in the shape it's always in.
Forget to mention the Cross buy option...i get some games like this...and in my ps4 i still see ps3 and psvita option..but never looked. Oh...looks like i have something to test...
Yeah check it out Papa, even though we don't get as much crossed by content as we used to it's still a great way to get the most bang out of your buck especially when there's a sale going on for the PS4 version.
@@PSVitaat2am exactly what i did here a couple of times...one purchase and ps4, ps3 and vita versions on the go! But some games i need to double check in download list or the game page in store in the ps3 or psvita to get the game...
My ps vita wallet has exploded because the amount i add all the time 😂
Believe me I know exactly where you're coming from. So many games so little time! 🤩
A friendly reminder to buy some PS Vita games on the Vita Store for your mom on Mothers day
Yep always a good idea! 💪
News here....i just got a game here which on ps4 we dont have the Cross buy info in the description but in the Vita we do have the info about it...well i just check now and i can download the game in the vita for free...hehe...the game is bards tale remastered and resnarkled...take that Sony!
YUSS!!! Always a good feeling when we are able to still acquire those deals under Sony's nose. 💪
@@PSVitaat2am even better cause the game is on sale...80% off on ps4...and "free" on vita...
sony wants to strengthen its own economic system and using the vita and ps3 as guinea pigs for how users react
Interesting theory there Simon, I certainly wouldn't put it past them. 🤔
Except half the time I get an error when I try to add funds cuz ps is incompetent
Yeah it's still not perfect, but at least we have some options. Sony certainly doesn't make this easy. 😭
"Unfortunately"
ROFLOLOL!!
Hopefully next time. 🤣
Awesome James~
Thanks buddy! 🤗
I had buyed PSP DLC games using that method 😐
Still crazy to think it works even to this day.
@@PSVitaat2am What's more crazier is that I still want PSP to go back online in 2023 including Vita
it's funny how people bitched at sony not to close the store meanwhile no one bats an eye when nintendo does it. Nintendo fans just lay down and take it.
I'd heard that Nintendo fans "like it up the Chuff" !!!!
It does make me wonder had the Switch not been so successful as it is, if more people would have made a big deal about it. Probably not. 🤔
@@PSVitaat2am They did it for wii and DSi while the wii u was out I doubt it would make a difference...
damn, now i have to play blackgate again...
Tempted you huh? 😁
Funny, I can't directly put money on my Vita, but I can use my Steam Deck to do it? How topsy-turvy.
I tell you, it's crazy times we live in!
Long story short: jailbreak your vita
Basically yeah. 🤣
But i like the kinky way
Can't argue with you there! 🤩
Thanks so much 😂
No problem! Thank you for watching! 🤗
So this is what James looks like when he's exposed 😳
Yes I have chosen to expose myself, and the PS Vita store. But mostly the PS Vita store. 🤣
@@PSVitaat2am Any predictions for when the Vita store will close?
My dearest best friend psvita
It's a lifelong friend! 😁
This video was one of the toughest watches I’ve ever had on UA-cam and I’ve been around since like 2006. Pointless & annoying
I really wanted to enjoy Blackgate. But the map is so...😠😠😠
I actually enjoyed the game, my only minor gripe with it is that the enemies didn't respond after you cleared certain levels, which made a lot of running through empty corridors. 😔
that’s when I bought my vita 😂 not modded not risking crap happening But u can add credit with psn card add on vita using the vita not just ps4 ps5 ps3
Does that really still work? I was under the impression that Sony disabled that. Neat!
No it worked last time I did it
James stop exposing yourself on the internet! The internet never forgets.
Today I have chosen to expose the PS Vita store, and myself. But mostly the PS Vita store. 🤣
Ive been using ps Vita store there isn't a lot of games left on the store thats why ive decided to hack iam going to be doing it in the next few days
Can't say I really blame you at this point. 🤔
"You can't use a PS4 to buy Vita or PS3 games"
hmmmm. . . you sure about that ?
Hahaha! Well depending on your method that is. 😁
Intersting so in short it sonys fault
Pretty much yeah. 🤣
Vita 💪🏻🇦🇷🍻
YUSS!!!! 😁
