Every month we organize a tutorial contest for our 5 favorite devices: the PS Vita, the PS4, the 3DS, the PSP, and the PS3.

Each month, the authors of the best tutorial for each category get a $10 PSN code each, for a total of $50. Additionally, the mods and myself choose our favorite tutorial, and award a bonus $10.

The PS4 and 3DS got no love in January, as nobody submitted a single entry for those 2 consoles. That’s a potential quick $10 for whoever submit a tutorial or guide for one of these consoles in February, as they don’t seem to get the attention they deserve. PS3 and PSP each had a single entry, so their authors instantly won $10. On the PS3 side, mileleku’s tutorial on how to undub Tales of Xillia (or any other PSN Game) got him the $10, pretty useful for those of you who want to play a game in its original language with subtitles. For the PSP, reprep submitted a pretty advanced tutorial on injecting your own Roms into the PSP’s PC Engine emulator (yes, the PSP firmware supports more than PS1 and PSP games, it also has support for PC engine). Reprep not only won the PSP contest this month, he also got the mods’ prize, which grants him a total of $20.

On the Vita, competition was fierce this month, with no less than 7 entries, many of them dedicated to the recent bubbles and exploit releases. Ultimately, dark69 got the most votes for his tutorial on how to sign PSP backups of any size to use with your bubbles.

Congratulations to all 3 winners. PSN Codes have been sent and should reach you very soon.

It’s also already time to submit your tutorials for February’s contest! Here again, there’s a total of $60 in PSN codes to win. Your tutorials don’t have to be extremely technical, as long as they are original and directly related to one of the 5 consoles mentioned above. You can see detailed rules and how to participate here: Monthly tutorial contest.

Have fun, and good luck to everyone!
