not realy just vita and ps3 though even those are different ps3 you actualy CAN use without an psn account unlike the vita

with ps4 and ps5 I am pretty sure you need to login the same way though I am not 100% on that since I dont own  either of those systems

I don't have a PS5, but with PS4 you didn't have to do any of that. That's why Sony's website only mentions the two older systems, not the newer ones. it was a feature designed to enhance security on the older, outdated systems. It was only PS3 and vita, but you are right, you can play PS3 w/o an account.
My 2nd account can log into PS4 no problem, because you didn't have to go through these hoops.

pretty sure its more then once my friend said so and he should know he is both the number 1 and 2 trophy hunter of my country both his accounts are top 50 of  the world. he doesnt do physicla for ps4 and 5 so he needs to log a lot due to regions

Well, I only had to do it once. I can't speak for anyone else. This has nothing to do with PS4/5 though, It's a PS3/Vita only situation.

I just dotn wanna deal with it every time  its not a once and done thing. so even if there is a woraround like you are saying its gonna be an  real pain in the ass  and ruins the fun for me.

You only have to do it once. I just clicked save password. You can even change it back to your old password (I think that's what I did) if you set it to auto login you will just go back to login into your vita every time you turn it on.

Well, Thank you, and I understand the frustration. While doing this I tried again to get my 2nd account working and I still can't change the password.

If you do what I suggest, you should have it done in like 5 minutes though (As long as you know your current password). As far as how long will it be before they change it again? IDK. that's not anything we can control. It's inconvenient and a pain in the ass, but it is what it is. You can get back on if you really want to, you do need to take a few minutes to do so though.

Modern gaming, with internet, accounts, $$ involved, etc just don't mesh with the "plug in and play" way we used to play games. There are a fair amount of retro gamers here for a reason!

it might and then what?  its bs I need to waste time  using unreleated devices just to use the device I bought fairly.
I just wanna iuse my system  to play games  not having to use other deviced I might not own just to be able to use said device.

for the vita when I bought it It needed a memorycard and an charger thats it. they cant just change the rules like this and realy you shouldnt defend this bs in the first place.   either way this discussion wasnt the point of the topic

to me the fact of the mather is I cnat use my vitas anymore I talked to sony directly and the employe told me I was screwed as well thats the fact of the mather sadly

I wasn't defending any of this stuff... like I said, I can't use my 2nd account because of it. I guess I'm the one who really wasted their time trying to help you get your vita working. Sorry you waste more of yours too I suppose. If you are this insistent that you are screwed, you are screwed.

I log in using my vita I get greeted by an mesage saying ''to sign in on this ps vita you need to create a device setup password scan the qr code with your mobile devive to get started.

It should also say, OR visit the following URL to get started. It than give you a link on where to go.

OK, but You don't need to use the QR code. I never did. You just need to access PSN's website with your account.

Log in to PSN website
Go to security settings
then scroll down to device setup password.
It will generate a random password (That's the printed code I mentioned earlier, I needed to refresh my memory on where you got it)
Log into your vita with that password, (enable auto- sign in) and that will allow you to use your vita again.

No Phone
No QR Code

Not sure why they tell you that you need a phone.

If you already know your normal password, it's quick and easy. My problem is that I didn't.

I never once used a phone. I used the printed code via my PC instead of the QR code (You get both, and can use either)

Sony really came out of nowhere with that stuff, and it's still a mess for me, but you def don't need a phone of any kind, as long as you have access to the internet (And your email address)

I have 2 Sony accounts, and i couldn't recall the passwords for either. Password reset has stopped working since this all began, so I'm still locked out of my second account (I remembered my main account password). My brother has been locked out of his Vita too, since he can't recover/change the password. Since it's only a secondary account I haven't bothered, but if you really want to get access again you are likely going to have to contact Sony.
You can technically play physical games without your account, but previous saves are associated with the account (Maybe all, IDK).

if you do sell off your stuff, you would get more selling individually. If you have something cool like a complete Vita collection maybe consider going through an auction house.

Best Buy has been selling LRGames for over a year at least. Are you sure the pre-orders aren't LRG's? I have maybe 10-12 LRG's and I've never ordered from them, just bought them in store at Best Buy.

They currently have a ton of games available for online purchase as well.

Edit: Here are their current LRG pre-orders. All the ones you mentioned are here.

I'd most likely keep whatever the stuff is. I tend to have relationships end on decent terms, but even if I didn't I would be able to separate the object from the person. Now if they tried to murder me or something, that may be different...lol.

I just watched "Sorcerer" with Roy Scheider. While it was pretty good, but I felt the way the story started was too jumbled and could have been way smoother. It did have some great tension.
Roy was outstanding as ever, and the soundtrack was ahead of it's time.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Hulk 2003 DVD with Xbox game demo

« on: May 31, 2022, 04:58:45 pm »

I've recently picked up a DVD copy of Hulk 2003 from the thrift store, and I noticed that disc 2 contains a demo of a level from Hulk on Xbox. I was curious if something like this would be allowed in the database, since it's technically a demo of a game. And if it is, how would I go about titling and formatting it since it's kinda unique in that it's a DVD movie with a game demo on it? Here's some images of the case and disc: https://imgur.com/a/M17BjAW

Now I have to dig into my DVD's (Boxed up since I moved) and see if I have that...I actually might.

I would think it should be allowed here, but beyond that IDK.
