Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
That's my target price as well.

Really? The online retailers I've seen have it for $29.99.
Yeah, it's MSRP is $39.99.
I'm pretty sure we did in one of the threads. The game size is 201 MB btw.Did anyone ever mention the download size of Stardust?
I'm surprised J-Gaf didn't talk more about it.

Was waffeling on my preorder, then I decided to just sell my 3DS and get the Vita. I hardly play handheld systems, but if I'm not going to play anything, I'd rather it be the Vita than the 3DS
Will be getting the 3G bundle w/ the 8gb card.
Will re-buy 3DS when they release the redesign, which I think will be shown at E3

I think Modnation is still $29.99...
Watch it get bumped up to $39.99 when they announce an online patch lol
Sony confirmed digital downloads will be cheaper than retail.
My guess is $5 dollars cheaper.

When did Sony confirm this for North America?

Really? Damnit, I swear Gamestop sucks at communicating this. I just called and they said they are 2 separate bundles.
Apparently they're now confirming it to journalists. After that photo from Best Buy was taken. They haven't officially announced the lower prices but they aren't saying they can't comment on it anymore.

Good to hear.
The sad thing is they still aren't saying exactly how much cheaper it'll be. And when you consider in Japan digital games are around $10 cheaper than retail, it makes that 10% off sound like a joke.

Do we know if the 3G bundle on Amazon is Amazon exclusive or will be available elsewhere? I don't mind ordering it from Amazon, but if I can get it Day 1 physically I'd rather do that.

I just called on this and the GS manager had no clue what this was about. How new is this news on the 1st edition also getting the data plan and PSN game? I'm tempted to call another GS to verify but he didn't even know or believe that you would get more on top of what you got with the 1st edition.
It's a launch bundle. Gamestop and Best Buy should have them as well.

Amazon has release date delivery on it though. You'll get it Day 1 if you select the right shipping.
Announced at the same time as the 3G bundle.

There is no standalone 3G version anymore. It's just the launch bundle now.

No I feel you the most i'd pay for Stardust is 14.99 and that's because I'm a fan but no other PSN game has had more value in terms of playing time than that game for me.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
I think this can still be a lucrative revenue stream for Sony even if they are not dicks about it and still let us play it if we have it on disk. People will still buy PS2 titles through PSN, just as they do now with other titles available on disk.
I think the convenience of the digital download would even provide good competition against Gamestop's ratty old PS2 section. After all there are no more new copies of these games to buy. The industries ire towards the used game market has more to do with a used copy sitting on a shelf right next to a new release, for $5 cheaper.
And it's not like they didn't already have the manufacturing infrastructure in place to make these PS3's. If they charge $200 more for them, and sell them at profit, who's going to get hurt? Nobody, that's who.

I think you might be Goin' Ape Spit, Toki. I'm up to date on my 8-4 Plays and they were scratchin' their heads about how this was supposed to be accomplished.
If I'm wrong, link me the article, please.
But if so then it just makes even less sense to charge so much for this service...

Man I still wish they would have changed the FE from a 4GB to an 8GB. That alone is making me debate about canceling my FE.

It's $29.99 and if you sell it for less than that, you're losing money because you are paying full price for it with the bundle.
I'm sure it was on one of their podcasts. They mentioned trying it out on a game and they were amazed that it worked and yet Sony didn't do anything like that for the PSPGo or to prevent piracy. I'm think it was that half Vita/half MH special they did where I heard it.
They haven't charged me tax since the PSN debacle in May.
Right i've finally sorted out what i want and preordered it.
3G Vita (decided it was worth the extra) - £248 (Tesco Entertainment £269.99 - 8% Quidco cashback = ~ £248) (early birthday present from parents)
16GB memory card - £39.99
Starter Kit - £17.99
Uncharted: GA - £30.47
= £336.38 which isn't all that bad really, seeing as i'll only pay £88.38 of that, and i got more than that in cash for christmas - yay
Shall use some vouchers i got for christmas to get some PSN cards too.

It depends on your state I believe.

And you're in Canada too.
Hmm. I'm curious to see what these PSN prices will be. Hopefully more than a 10% discount from the actual store.

Ok that's good. It sounds like it's something automatic then and still voucher based or am I just reading that wrong?
I know lol
One of my friends is getting it so I am leaning towards it once again. I was never planning on 2 cards anyways so I'm trying to just talk myself with sticking to the 1st edition even though I still think the launch 3g bundle is better.
I was drunk and was this close to pre-ordering one from Amazon. But I decided long ago to never buy day one. I am also not happy about 3G speeds or data caps. I'll eventually get the wi-fi only version.
Buy the way, why are game cartridges so big? Is it because they are cheaper to make or easier to handle?
PS3 was the only system I bought day one and though a new shiny toy is exciting, I don't like the initial post-release droughts. I'll wait till I see at least 5 games that I really want. By that time, they'd probably fix any initial kinks.
PS. Man, I would've bought one day-one if they had 4G, internal storage and unlimited data...

It says "If you were..." for the preorder for the first edition bundle...does that mean it's not available for preorder anymore? I was going to preorder it this week...anyone know?

i'm pretty sure it just means some places might not be taking preorders for it anymore.

I popped in the local GameStop to check out the Vita, and sadly, it was behind the plastic case. The employee said they are doing the "unveiling tomorrow", so I may stop back up there this weekend if I have time.
However, while I was in the store, 3 people came in to preorder. I think the buzz is starting to get around.
