PS Vita: General Discussion

[Mr_Loizou]

I just bought a ps vita with everybodys golf and when i enter the voucher code it tells me it is invalid or entered wrong.

I have tried it a few times and keeps pooping up with that.

Has anyone else had this problem and know a fix? 

Thanks

You bought a Vita with a boxed copy of EG?

The voucher code was in the box?

It wasn't pre-owned?

The game is for the same region (e.g. UK) as your PlayStation Network account (e.g. UK)?

You haven't mistaken any '1's for 'I's or 'O's for '0's?

[Mr_Loizou]

Yes it was a boxed copy of the game

The voucher was in the box

It is brand new

They are from the same reigon

There is nothing to make a mistake with

Hmmm, maybe you'll need to take it back to the shop. Or give PlayStation customer support a call. They should be able to sort you out a replacement code or credit the online pass direct to your account.

If it is new and matches the region, there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

Hi all,

I'm having issues with getting online as well.

OP, as far as I can tell, the online pass is a 'service', not a download.

That is why it won't be showing in your downloads list.

It is possible that the first time you entered the code you were sucessfull, and so after that the code became invalid.

Head to the PS Store and check in the Vita Add Ons area.

See if you have the little red shopping bag icon in the EG network pass box.

If so, your network pass code was succesfull.

After that, you need to download V1.04.

And so begins my issue.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

It shows I have the network pass.

I can find where to download the new version so I can play online.

It even shows up in the downloading list which you can access on the top right corner of the touch screen.

But all it says is 'Waiting to download'.

I just successfully downloaded and installed the YouTube App.

So clearly I'm online and signed in OK.

Any clues anyone?

[Tassie_tiger]

For those that may be interested, I've found the error of my ways.

The V1.04 must be downloaded via WiFi.

It cannot be downloaded via 3G mobile network.

BTW, kinda sucks how I have a PC hooked to the internet, a PS3 hooked to the internet, a Vita with both 3G and WiFi capabilities, and all appropriate cables to connect anything and everything together.

And yet, because I don't have a router, I can't download a simple patch.

Might have to try an ad-hoc setup as a temporary solution.

Hmm, it must be possible to use a PC to create a wireless network in your home.

Shame we can't download patches to our PS3s and install them to the Vita. Combined with the PS+ automatic download of patches...

Agreed.

I'm a tech. noob, so I do some research and try things, but most of the time they fail.

Seems possible if your PC has an inbuilt wireless network adapter.

Other option is a virtual router...software that tweeks a wireless modem.

Apparently my PC doesn't have the adapter, and I'm not game to screw with my wireless modem.

 Looks like it's off to the shops to buy a router.

Oh, the ad hoc network setup was a big fail.

Seems more to apply to hook your PC to an existing network, not use your PC as a WiFi hotspot.

Well, not without the wireless adapter anyway.
