    Sony Unveils Nine PlayStation Vita Tips and Tricks for Gamers

    3. Call for backup. Let's face it: electronic devices have an uncanny affinity for toilets. We can't prevent that, but we can help ensure you don't lose your precious saved game data. Simply connect your PS Vita to your PS3 via the USB cable, open up the Content Manager on your PS Vita, and select the the Back Up option to back up all your PS Vita's game data and gain a little extra peace of mind.


    You'll see a white flash and hear the snap of a camera shutter and the resulting image will be saved and neatly categorized in your Photos gallery. You'll be able to take screenshots in the vast majority of games, though not every game.

    5. Prettier PSP games. PS Vita currently supports more than 275 legacy digital PSP games and more are on the way. You can also improve the way those lower-resolution PSP games look on the PS Vita's screen by pressing and holding the front touchscreen to bring up a Settings menu where you can activate several options.

    Checking "bilinear filtering" and "color space" seems to yield consistently smoother results, but experiment with your PSP games to find your favorite combination.


    7. Remote Play renaissance. Ever wish you could log into your PS3 remotely to access a video or initiate a PlayStation Store download? This handy feature isn't technically new -- it was supported on PSP -- but thanks to PS Vita's monstrous OLED screen and more powerful processors, it's more useful than ever.


    8. Bluetooth bliss. PS Vita supports high-quality stereo Bluetooth for audio output, so if you've got a nice pair of Bluetooth headphones ([Register or Login to view links]), you can pipe in your game audio without restricting wires.

    In the Settings menu, touch Network and Bluetooth Settings and you'll be able to pair your headphones to your new PS Vita. If you get stuck on the pairing code, try "0000." If that doesn't work, check the manual that came with your headphones (or look it up online) to find the proper four-digit code. Now enjoy a better life - a life without wires!

    9. Silence is golden. Some people like soft jazz, others prefer silence. If you want to turn off PS Vita's toe-tappin' menu music, you'll find the option in Settings > Sound & Display > System Music. While you're there, you'll notice an AVLS option. This limits the maximum volume when using headphones - perfect if you share your PS Vita with a little one.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a PS Vita to a TV and use a PS3 controller on the Vita? Because it would be pretty cool playing PS Vita games on a tv.

    You can't connect your PS3 Controller on the Vita as your PSPGo. You can't connect your PS Vita on your TV (the supposed port on the top of the PS Vita that allow to do that was abandoned, here but for something else) as a PSP/PSPGo.

    The alternative is cross-platform/remote play that allow to do this but on a worst way for now.

    Most of the PSVita Games use touchsreen controls so no... i don't think it's possible!

    Even though most PS Vita games use touch controls I'm pretty sure most of them can be played just by using the analog stick and buttons.

    I was just curious since you could connect your PSP to a TV and you could connect a PS3 controller to a PSP Go VIA Bluetooth.

    So let me get this straight. I don't have to worry about leaving a game to go into a menu. But instead I have to just pause the game and go into a different menu. Now THAT is some next-gen portable gaming right there! Now I wanna get 10 of these things!! Waaaaaaaay better than that lame physical face button on the old PSPs.

    I don't call the multitask a next-gen portable gaming, the multitask is available on smartphone already for few years now.
    You can launch game and put on pause, back to the interface use something else better than the PS Vita.

    The PS Vita can't launch all the stuff after put pause, for example, you can't launch the web navigator, you can't launch another program, etc... only the setting yes but is not big deal

    Angry Remote play needs to be active

    OK SONY LISTEN UP, what is up with remote play. this is the main reason why most people buy the thing, to play ps3 games on the go. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE GONNA LET THE HACKERS BEAT YOU AT YOUR OWN GAME.

    Battlefield 3 on vita is working great by a hacker. MAKE ALL PS3 GAME COMPATIBLE.

    You can make any PS3 game compatible with remote play by editing the Param.sfo file. It's not that hard to do.

    Another tip not mentioned in the article:

    To quickly mute your PS Vita, press the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons at the same time for a second.
