Hi Everyone

It seems that a good number of eager Cosmos explorers are struggling to launch the Cross-Controller functionality of the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack.

So here's a step-by-step guide on how you can get the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack to launch!

It's relatively simple to get things up and running, so don't be put off by how many steps there are.

It's mostly self-explanatory and you'll receive instructions on your PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita throughout the installation process.

I just want to make sure that I'm here with you every step of the way when installing the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack!

Before we begin though, there's a couple of very important things that you should be check.

1. Ensure that you have the latest firmware for your PlayStation Vita. Further instructions on how to perform this update can be found here:
http://us.playstation.com/support/sys...

2. Your PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita must be connected to the same network.

3. You need to have completed the first theme "Da Vinci's Hideout" in the Story to unlock certain features.

With those first checks done, just follow these steps to play the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack.

On each step, it will note whether you want to perform the current step on your PlayStation 3 or your PlayStation Vita with PS3/PSVita tags.

Step 1.
PS3: Purchase, download and install the LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Control Pack from the PlayStation Store.

Step 2.

Personally I have no idea of why people is having so much trouble connecting the systems. I guess there is one issue tough, due to the "massive" amount of guys who are having trouble getting this to work, but I just followed the on-screen instructions and never had a problem ever.2013-01-03 05:13:00

Ive installed and everything and have played through the pack, I've managed to connect my vita to my ps3 about twice allowing me to complete the levels. I was at home for Christmas so assumed that my trouble connecting was down to my parents internet. Im back home now and its doing the same thing : / When I start up the two systems I select the story on my ps3 and it asks me to start the lbp app on the vita, but when it starts to connect it just sits there saying "please wait..."

Has anyone had this problem? I can't figure out what Im doing wrong? The times Ive got it to work, its just worked instantly, the "please wait" screen is on for about 3 seconds and then Im away. Unfortunately these times are few, most of the time I find Im having this problem!

Any help would be awesome, cheers.

@Hallm, that's been happening every so often. What I had to do was reset my settings on the ps3 by going to settings and do your default settings. After completing everything, go to the sign on and put your email and password. Then go back to the settings and add the remote device and it'll pop up a number for you to load on your vita. Go to your vita and go to remote play and go to settings. Then get to the settings for ps3. it'll tell you to insert the number from the ps3 on your screen. when all is done, then load lbp3, then start vita cross controller. then on your lbp3 press the cross controller on your moon and connect. after that, touch the connect on your vita and everything should work fine2013-01-03 20:12:00

When I get to step 7PSVita: Upon touching Next,) the next screen says" On your PS3 system, Start software that supports the Cross-Controller feature."
No downloading appears to be happening..
