1. I tried to get into the PS Network with my vita too but for that i must update my software. I tried to update it with my PS3 but it doesnt work. What did i wrong?

2. What happened if i purhcase some games, installed them and my PS3 broke. Can i upload this games again or what can i do to safe them?

3. What up with the games that support PS3 and Vita. I really want to get Oddworld Strangers Wrath for my vita. Can i upload it to my PS3 and copy it to vita?

1. don't have a vita so not sure
2. yes, you can redownload games you have purchased on another console. However, I think there is a limit to the number of times you can do this, like 3 times or something like that.
3. You have to make sure you buy a game that includes both copies. Not every game includes both versions together.

Pretty sure it's 2 times.



1. Have you tried to download the system updated directly to your Vita by connecting it through wifi?

2. Yes, you can re-download games you have purchased to a new PS3 if your current one breaks.

3. I'm not very familar with games that support PS3 and Vita. I assume that the game can be played on your PS3, and downloaded to your Vita to play as well.



1. System Software is for the PS VITA, not the Network.
2.Once you buy them, they remain in your download list online.
3. If the game is Cross-buy, then once you buy it on PS3 you receive it for PS VITA too!

Yeah, I think the limit is 2. Note that it is not a download limit, but a limit to how many consoles you can have the game installed on. You can redownload a game as many times as you like, you just can't download it to more than two active consoles. Broken consoles can be deactivated.



Thanks for all the answers.

My vita is not Wifi so my only choice to update my software is through my PS3 but everytime i try that he brings an error. First i thought i can register my vita somewhere on my PS3 but the only thing i found was the remote play register. Didnt know if this will work.

Your Vita should have wifi. I think all units have it. Do you have access to a wifi connection?

What's the exact problem you're having with your Vita?  Is it giving you an error code, not connecting to your PS3, or not connecting to your WiFi?  I actually haven't connected my Vita to my PS3 but I had a little trouble updating via my PC.  I shut down my Vita then shut down the PC program it used, started everything back up, and it worked.

As for the games that can be played on both systems, sorry, I haven't tried that yet.
