Really great to see how many people are walking into stores, seeing this thing for the first time and pre-ordering it off the bat.

Also, I'm thinking of adding Rayman to my existing Amazon order for £15. Good buy at that price?
 
Already ordered Hot Shots Golf and now I am deciding between wipeout and Uncharted. Uncharted is a bit more expensive but is it worth it?

Great so see fellow 2D art/platformer fans! Was getting worried, since everyone is talking about picking Wipeout or Uncharted. I'm not a big racing game fan, or Uncharted for that matter. Rayman will also cost me only 25EUR, plus I guess it will be appealing for my girlfriend as well (might also try showing her Lumines).

My girlfriend wants Uncharted, but she'll like Rayman I'm sure. It's gonna look AMAZING on that screen. Crystal clear sprites and crisp edges in native res. ahhhh

thanks for that, back to the wifi version

If you were thinking in buying the 3G version it means you wanted to at least try the 3G once, right? So what's the problem in paying $15 for one month?

Not telling you what to buy of course, just asking out of curiosity.

im sure this has been asked, but the 3g vita, i know it uses ATT but it's non contract right? like i never have to use the 3g if I want, and I still get the free PSN game?

You need to use your own $$$ to activate it for one month first ($15 ?).

Note that during that month, you can also access the AT&T WiFi Hotspots (anywhere) for free.

Please people restrain yourselves from paying $50 for Uncharted, Your doing us all a disservice. If this game sells amazing at that price then we can pretty much be guaranteed more games will follow suite. Just asking nicely, not telling anyone how to spend there funds, hehehehe

It has been the top selling launch game on Amazon since the beginning, so I don't think your plea will work. :p

I keep flip-flopping for Uncharted. On one hand, I want to see it. OTOH, I think it's not worth $50. I'd rather import something else from Japan.
 
GameStop just texted my phone saying Uncharted is available for pickup. Does that mean if I don't get it in the next 48 hours I am not guaranteed a copy? I don't understand.

Who will be the first Canadian here to post their system?
I do appreciate that!

mine should be here tomorrow morning. i think others will as well though. i'm betting east coast guys will get theirs first since the delivery schedule would start 2-3 hours before us in the west.

Apparently Amazon have price matched Play, but with the £15 off a game instead of the pre-order pack.


I say apparently, because I'm not sure what Amazon were at before.

The RFDer whose system was delivered to him in Toronto earlier today has already uploaded some pics...

Sorry, I forgot to post the link, I think I will switch preorders now, I am not really interested in any of the games Amazon had from their deal, and the £5 off from select PSN game would be used for Super Stardust.

Also got a text message about 20 minutes ago for Uncharted. Have no plans on picking it up for another 2 weeks.

This is a pretty sick move on Sony's part. Get the games out there early, have people buy the games for no reason other than to stare at them for a week and try to bait them into buying a FEB bundle they would have no interest in otherwise, just for the sake of playing Wipeout or Uncharted early. Slick.
 
games like YS and Valkyria Chronicles 2 should play perfectly on the Vita right? There won't any resolution issues like with the 3DS? Any news of FF Type 0 making its way to the U.S.?

1. PSP games will play fine. You can map different buttons to second analog stick + turn on some filtering.

2. Type-0 will make it across as a Vita title. That much is given. The question is when.

Not sure which resolution issues you're referring to, but PSV is exactly four times the PSP's res, so every game has 'perfect' per pixel mapping, no scaling artifacts etc.

So I also got the text. Anyone go to GameStop yet to check in it? The text read "available WED PM" that mean tonight or next week on the 14th?

So I was listening to the IGN Nintendo podcast and they were talking/bashing Uncharted...so it seems that the entire game takes place in two locations: the jungle and the village. No varying areas like the previous games :/

I am thinking of getting Blazblue for vita...would the controls be ok for vita?

Also I heard before that the vita version would support cross-multiply with PS3 version...is this still true?

Uncharted 1 wasn't very varied locations. That wasn't a bad thing

From what I've seen, it's clear that it won't be quite as er...ambitious as the Naughty Dog games. I'm not expecting it to wow me like Uncharted 1-3 did. But as long as it nails the Uncharted formula, I think I'll be happy with my purchase. I enjoy the lite-platforming and the combat well enough, and it's got Nolan North.

not really, mainly was interested because of buying an 8gb memory card and Super Stardust Delta anyway, I would pay a bit more for a system that will be worth more if I decide later to sale it

Vodafone UK 3G plan deets at in this video

http://t.co/sivOSCbQ

Basically it's £5 for 250MB (must be used within 30days) and you get free wipeout. No contract. Woo.


This is an epic deal! It now means that for anyone who wanted Wipeout, the difference in cost between the 3G and WiFi is just £25.

Well pleased with that, the us 3G deal seems to suck eggs by comparison.
