PS Vita: General Discussion

[ocelot07]

Hello,

So I just fully completed Uncharted Golden Abyss and got my Platinum (yay). So I have no use for it now and I may as well sell it wile I can still get £20 - £25 for it. My questions is do I have to do anything to the game cartrage before I sell it? If I remember right before the Vita came out. People where saying you had to wipe the game cartrage before you can sell it and so on. Is this true? If so how do I do this?

I want to keep the Uncharted Save on my memory card incause new DLC comes out for it later down the line and I end up buying it again.

I would back it up to my PS3 (Just in case I ever wanted to play again with the progress I'd made)

Then press and hold the game's icon until the little grey "..." appears and select delete, just to be on the safe side

I suggested the back-up because that delete will remove everything associated with that game: It's save file(s), any patches (both on the Vita) and any possible owner/trophy rights on the cart. Backing the file to the PS3 keeps your save file for if you do want to go down the DLC path at a later dater

1. Register your Vita with your PS3 via the option on the XMB's settings (Same thing you do to enable remote play)

2. Once done return to your PS3's standard XMB view (Come out of any settings options)

3. Turn on your Vita

4. Connect the Vita to your PS3 using the Vita's USB cable

5. The PS3 should go to a black screen and say it's in content manager mode with your Vita

6. The content manager icon should 'pulse' on your Vita's screen

7. Click 'Content Manager' on your Vita

8. Follow the on-screen instructions and options on your Vita to back-up (or restore at a later date)

Thanks I have another question I think I should of asked before I backed up my vita and wiped the uncharted card. So I backed up my PS Vita last night and then deleted the data on the card.

But I now have a issue. Am getting that new red PS3 coming out and moving my old slim in my bed room. Before I do this I am going to be doing the transfer utility to transfer all my stuff my my 250gb slim to my new red 320gb slim. But will my PS vita back up transfer over to my new PS3? Is there any way I can move the PS Vita back up data from my PS3 to PS Vita?
