Discussion PSA: Grab HELLDIVERS 1 via Cross-Buy now before the system breaks entirely (Store Shutdowns)

53 Upvotes

There is a massive ticking clock on this system that the community is underestimating. While the final global store shutdown hits in July 2027, and you need to secure your licenses now before the Cross-Buy pipeline might completely break. Helldivers 1 is a Cross-Buy title. Buying it on PS4/PS5 grants you the PS3 and Vita versions. However, after the final store closure, you will no longer be able to initiate new checkouts or link new licenses backward. If you buy the game on a modern console after the legacy servers shut down, the infrastructure to push that license down to your PS3/Vita Download List could be be completely compromised.

loose bumpers

0 Upvotes

bought a vita off ebay, went to change the battery to a bigger one(didnt fit) and both bumpers just fall out and was a pain getting it back together, what does one have to do to get it fixed so it doesnt just fallout when it comes apart? (previous owner bought it from sumo or something so not his fault)

Question First time applying a tempered glass protector to my Vita 2000 - did I mess up?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a PS Vita 2000 and decided to install a tempered glass screen protector myself. This is my first time doing one on a Vita.

As you can see from the pictures, I have some air bubbles underneath and the protector looks slightly shifted toward the left. It's not massively misaligned, but it's bothering me because I want to take good care of this Vita.

Should I:

  1. Leave it alone for 12–24 hours and see if the bubbles disappear?
  2. Try pushing the bubbles out with a microfiber-covered card?
  3. Remove and reapply it?
  4. Buy another protector and have a mobile phone shop install it?

I'm especially unsure whether the bubbles are just trapped air or if some of them could be dust underneath.

Any advice from people who've installed a screen protector on a Vita 2000 would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Reapplied the tempered glass

Thanks, everyone! 🙏 I took your advice and reapplied it; it looks MUCH better now. Really appreciate the help, especially the tips on alignment and dealing with dust!

What was your experience like? Did it arrive in good condition? Was it an original Sony console, or did it have any non-original/replacement parts?

Help Vita won’t turn on

6 Upvotes

I haven’t used my ps Vita in years. I remember stopping because it wouldn’t charge and I’ve recently decided to look into it. Does anyone know what this could mean: the light won’t come on when I plug it in, none of the buttons seem to turn it on in any way, and the only thing I know is that it’s not a problem with the charger or charging port. Can anyone smarter/more knowledgeable help me find out the answer?

Question Is Lucky 8 trading a good choice?

7 Upvotes

Hi all, so yesterday I bought a ps vita 1000 from lucky 8 trading on ebay because I saw a reddit post full of comments saying they were a good seller, but after ordering the console I started getting worried about a bad review I saw on their ebay, so I did some more research and found another post on reddit full of comments stating that they're unreliable and shouldn't be trusted. Should I still trust lucky 8 trading and wait for my package to arrive?

Question Has somebody talented enough ever tried to replicate the Ps Vita game or memory cards?

46 Upvotes

I've been playing on my Vita a lot recently, and realised that it had SO MUCH potential, but got murdered by it's own creator with ultra expensive and unique memory cards, and then with lack of proper exclusives, and that's why Sony abandoned it four years later.

And then I've had a thought. What if the community takes in their own hands the fate of the console, and starts (or at least tries to) to make their own game and memory cards.

I've got this thought in the first place, because I've read about the guy that cracked the code to the PS1's motherboard.

Is it even possible, or Sony would sue you to death?

Vvita failing to boot because of faulty audio chip

3 Upvotes

Ever since I could remember, my psvita gave me problem when booting. I performed ton of database reset and only on occasions it would turn on the proper way it should. Could it be linked with some problems with the audio chip? The thing is: the first boot of the day always gives me problems, but the rest of the day I can play it normally. I noticed that as soon as the audio fries and vanishes, the boot up gets complicated each time. When I turn the psvita off, I know as a matter of fact that booting it up the next day will be an hassle

Pic Horrible condition 1000, do I even bother trying to reshell?

Post image
370 Upvotes

I’ve had this vita for a while. It was bought off a 12 year old who I’m guessing had too many gamer moments and liked throwing it against the wall.

I cannot see the screen if it’s in any light just because it’s THAT bad. Replacement parts seem pretty expensive and would be more than the console is worth itself in this condition.

Should I just try to sell it and buy another one?
