My local Gamestop has one FEB left but I can't bring myself to buy it. Little Deviants and the 4GB memory card are deal breakers.

I really want a Vita but I'll force myself to wait a week. Time to hide that Hot Shots Golf box before I make a bad decision.

Must resist early Vita........

Be strong, use the saved money to buy another game. That'll last you much longer than the week that you'll forget from having it early.

Are you not getting the 3G launch bundle anymore? I thought you were but I saw earlier that you're saving "$110" for more games (even though some of that would have to at least go into a card, lol).

Guess I'll go buy some games today at Futureshop, then get my preorder FEB at Bestbuy tomorrow.

So weird.

HSG
Wipeout
Dynasty Warriors
SSD
Escape Plan
Motorstorm RC

The more I understand the Vita the more I'm convinced this is by far the best handheld device on the market. It really is a monster.

Sony best not fuck this up, they really do have something worth while here.


One more week....

16 1/2 more hours for me.

I uploaded a second video just to be comprehensive about it, so it seems Zone tracks do load faster but there are still definite improvements between the pre- and post-patch times.

If someone has a video of pre patch to compare against, that would be pretty handy.

Sorry, I'm not jumping on the "Everything is fixed" bandwagon.

40-second load times for a cartridge-based game is absolutely inexcusable.

Now that Amazon UK dropped the price to £210 with an 8GB stick, I went ahead changed delivery option to expedited.

I'm surprised they haven't cancelled those £6 Ubi games too, not that I'm complaining.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Omg I'm so tempted to go and find a FEB... I don't even care about the lost money on a crappy memory card and game.

Ugh... this week will be the end of me.

I want to play hot shots. :(

That first video was misleading. Others are saying load times haven't been cut by much, just five seconds or less. In any case, nowhere near 50% (unfortunately).

Ah. :/

Oh my god, I wasn't planning on getting one until P4G is out but this launch hype is making me go insane. :( Too bad I don't have the cash.

8 more days for me. The 4GB card and Little Deviants are absolutely uninteresting to me, which makes it a lot easier to just go with the Wifi model. Definitely still hyped for Lumines and portable UMvC3, though.

Still getting the 3G Launch Bundle instead of the FEB. That $110 savings is the money I save from getting it tomorrow vs waiting till next week and getting a 3G Launch Bundle.

Agreed. 40 seconds to load most of the races kills all the hype I had for the game and I love Wipeout.

I could only handle those long load times if this was a single player game with few load screens.

Wait, I haven't heard the $110 savings theory. How is this? 3G Launch Bundle for $299 with 8gb card vs FEB for $349 with 4gb, game, and case. Now, I could argue you're getting $40 savings towards a game of your choice, because of the $30 for Little Deviants and $10 difference between the 8gb and the 4gb, but where's the $110 coming from?

I find it wierd all the people saying little deviants + 4gb card = not worth it. Dont forget the awesome case. thats why I switched, I planned on getting a larger card anyway.

I'll just stick with the Hori hard case, but it IS the most compelling reason to bother beyond getting it a week early.

And yeah, trying Wipeout in GameStop was kind of ridiculous. Waiting on how the patch is received before I consider bothering.

Reviews claim that little deviants is a very mediocre game. It has scored very, very average across the board. But, with that said, nobody seems to be saying it's actually terrible, but rather more of a tech demo or PSN style game. I probably won't sell it when I get it with the FEB, but I'm not really excited for it by any means. I've seen a couple people that have played the full game that actually really like it.

Oh sorry for the confusion. If you look at my original post, I list what everything will cost me. That's factoring in the 25%, 33% and 40% discounts on games I''ll be getting when they go on sale for the real launch. If I bought everything that I plan to get tomorrow, it'll cost me $110 more.

I'm getting very excited and I still have 1 week left to wait. I think I'll play some PSP Lumines, only just got it recently and haven't quite got a hang of it.

hmm a playstation blog comment on a lumines post mentions the file size being about 700mb. who to believe? i'd hope it's that small. i may give in. i didn't know about the xp system until now.
Click to expand...

That was my bad. I confused HSG and Lumines. Lumines is 700, HSG is 1.1 gig. Sorry about that.

Big influx of Vita owners coming tomorrow; can we rename the thread, even if just for a day, "Vitas have arrived! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" ?
