I thought it had something to do with the servers with PSP and PS1 games, because I could not download either of those to the PSP or PS3 for the past two days. The PSP will download videos and updates to games already downloaded, and the PS3 will download PS3 games.
System activations is the obvious thing; you can't download or run any PSN game, plus or not. But I think you can have only two portable systems activated on the same account, and that includes Vita, PSP and Playstation (Vita) TV. Strange solution for the downloads, though, purchasing an item first, even if it is free.
I could have used the save anywhere feature in the original version. Jumping down into a hole and seeing a secret passage on the way down, but too late to push over there. Oh well, restart the whole dungeon.
There was a time early in the life of PS3 when I got free original PS1 games with PS Plus, and it bothered me later when I couldn't buy them outright with a PS Plus discount, so they would be available if I stopped subscribing. However, now that online gaming is no longer "free" it is not likely that I will cancel anytime soon.
I always figured it had something to do with credit card processing fees, except that if you have 5.00 in your wallet, and buy something for 5.99, they only charge your credit card 0.99, and not another 5.00. Maybe they just wanted you to spend more than 0.50, you cheap bastard.
There is no option setting for portrait, or TATE mode. Just turn the Vita sideways. The flippers are X and triangle or front touch, nudge is the right stick or back touch. Plunger is left stick or touch. The scheme may have been updated since the video linked in the above comment.

Re: Tom Holland Doesn't Sound Particularly Happy with His Portrayal of Uncharted's Nathan Drake
I appreciate his honesty, but I think he's being too hard on himself. Most actors would play it the way he did and not give it a second thought.
Re: PS Plus December 2020 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
More shooting things. How original.
Re: PS5 Digital Edition Exists for Consumers Who 'Purchase Solely Digitally'
GameStop, Limited Run killer.
Re: MotoGP 20 - Another Exciting Ride, If You Can Handle It
I've never seen a truly realistic motorcycle racer. They don't reproduce the sense of balancing the bike at variable speeds and turn rates.
Re: Star Wars Episode I: Racer Speeds Onto PS4 Next Month
Surely this is not based on the low-spec N64 game?
Re: This Is What the PS5 Could Look Like in Stores
Stop feeding these guys.
Re: Nintendo 64's Star Wars Episode I: Racer Being Revamped for PS4
I first played it in store on the N64, but I bought it for the Dreamcast which had the much better version, so I don't think of this as an N64 game.

Re: It's All Over: The X Button Is Officially Pronounced 'Cross'
I've known for a long time that it's cross, but I always say X. Also, any stand-alone X in a Japanese game title is cross, like Pokemon X.
Re: Guide: How to WipEout Omega Collection
OK, this is the first and last time I read one of these "guides." It's nothing but lame jokes!
Re: Indie Bin: METAL MAX Xeno, SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, Stay
I think maybe they mixed up the verdicts for Moonfall and Stay... Um, never mind. I forgot "bin" seems to always mean trash on your side.
