The only reason i got my psv was so that i can play ps3 games on it while the other half watches tv or somthing. but you cant play ps3 games on it at the min it must need updating from sony. We must off all seen the trailer for cross game play with killzone 3. I am really disapointed that the vita dose not play ps3 gameS AND ITS MAKING ME THINK TO SELL IT!!!! and if sony does not want us to jailbreak are ps3 then they really need to do what they said that it can do. and not try making more money by bring out a game for ps3 and then the psv then i think they would lose. no one in there right mind would pay twice for the same game at £40 a pop the only way to play ps3 games on a vita is to have a jailboke ps3 come on sony this is WRONG

Dose anyone no more about cross game play thank you

Assuming someone from Sony actually reads this…

For PS Vita:
-Add support for all popular music, video, and photo formats. Come on sony you can do better than that.
-Get a better web browser. As it currently stands the thing is pretty useless. At least support XML.
-Combine Party, Group Messaging, and Friends.
-Enable voice chat between PSV and PS3. Doesn’t seem that hard.
-Enable the ability to listen to Music while playing games. Seriously, xbox 360 has had this feature from day 1 and you guys barely have support for this on a handful of titles. Not to mention 360 can do it for ANY game instead of the developer making support for it.
-Add Youtube app.

And this last part is just a rant but seriously Sony? I have use that annoying Content Manager to put anything on my PSV? Part of the reason I liked the PSP is because I could handle my files any way I wanted to without having to use some worthless interface like Itunes. Could we please drop the mandatory use of CMA? I organize my files way better than your software ever will, so let me. Please i beg of you.

Is there any way to download the firmware update without the Vita being connected to the computer? There is no broadband here, therefore no wireless, and I can’t use content manager until I update the Vita. I know it is a small update, but on a slow dial up connection, it is still several hours of downloading, and time when I can’t use my Vita.
If, however, I could just download the update separately, and still be able to use my system, that would be just fine, only I can’t seem to find a way to do so.

I know this is too late, but I just want to say your explanation of how to update the Vita is severely lacking. I just got my Vita on 2/22. So as soon as I try to initialize it, the process is denied because I have to first update the system software. But I can’t update the system software because I can’t create my account on my new Vita. I tried to connect via PS3, but there is no content manager app on the PS3. I looked in the store. Nope. So I tried the PC way. Downloaded content mgr. Connected Vita. Tried to update. Back where I started. I couldn’t get past the screen to create my account unless I first updated the software.

So if anyone else has this Catch 22 frustration, here is the answer that nobody here tells you:

DON’T SETUP YOUR PSN ACCOUNT. USE THE GUEST FEATURE TO FIRST UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM SOFTWARE. AFTER THAT, THEN YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN PSN ACCOUNT.

Inconsiderate jerks!

I can’t get past the setup screen on my vita either. Just like NashTheSlash mine won’t sync with my PS3 until I update the software on the vita but you can’t because it is stuck in setup mode!
Anyone have a fix for this yet???
