PS Vita AUS/NZ Launch Thread (Games, Accessory Pricing)
- Thread starter Gen X
- Start date
Quick question: what's the best place (and cheapest) to order a 32GB vita card from? Also, will all my save games from the PSP Go work on the Vita? I remember Tekken saves in particular wouldn't work between different PSPs...
I got to try out a Vita in JB HiFi today. It was pretty snazzy but I won't buy one at launch. Instead I'll prepare to get one in the next month or so.

Actually, thats across the board. The prices are same as the RRP, except first party titles get a 5% discount.
Retailers would get all mad if the PSN prices undercut the retail prices by a lot. Like the PSPgo situation. Since retailers get most money out of software.
EDIT: Some games; like Rayman and Shinobito seem to be a decent amount lower than the RRP.

GAF....I....I....did it!
I just payed $380 USD for a Wifi Vita and 32GB memory card from superufo.com.
Did I get ripped off? I mean just the Wifi Vita console in AUS is $370 USD! -____-
I waited so long because I really shouldn’t’ be spending and money at the moment! I have a $16,000 AU dollar holiday to pay off! (don’t ask) It sucks....but they had the 32GB memory card for $80 USD but it sold out. The next best price was $100 USD - so I took that. I checked the official gamestop site for the US and that's what they go for anyway, so all good. Saved quite a bit. Now to find some cheap games!
EDIT: Oh yeah, the $380 USD includes the cheapest shipping cost too - will take 2 weeks to a month!

^Those are what I got, plus the cheapest shipping.
Maybe the import tax is included...the Vita is USD $266.23.
I suppose the great Aussie dollar really helps the price too.

Looks like no specific plans or specials for Vita. Boo-urns!
We do get the $10 add-on of 100MB free for the first month though, it looks like. That's nice. Will probably just stick to the casual rate myself (but it'd be nice if they stated what that was on the page, lol).

Massive queue for Vita release just before opening at local EB Games ...
Whilst Big W weren't selling Vita HW or SW they were selling accessories ...
Local Dick Smith was selling Vita HW, but had no SW on display. Pretty low key launch, didn't see anyone buy one, but a couple of people were browsing the Vita section in EB.

Managed to swipe the final Vita from one of the EB stores in Brisbane. The first store I went to was completely sold out.
Small shipment or selling well?

Might be a bit of both. I caved on a Vita. I love isometric racers and in real life I have a few RC cars, so I kept looking at that game. Figured my DS was just not getting used so traded it in toward a Vita.
Got Rayman, was $33 with console purchase + 4gb mem card.
That also was the last Vita at my local EB here in Brisbane.

Small shipment, given that they don't even have enough to supply non-specialist stores.
Bingo.
I'm on my Vita atm, remember to add you PSN IDs here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjWULyaTCNy6dGtCaXJRZ1BvUk51ZU9WdmhXeHJicWc#gid=0

I asked the guy at the first EB I went to how many they were shipped, and he said about 30 in total.
I have no idea if that's normal for a launch, but it seemed pretty low.
Your friends list is full. I tried to send you one but it said I couldn't add anymore friends so I deleted a few. Then I discovered it was you. lol.
Weird, I'll delete a few friends now.
Still waiting for Sony to email me my $8 discount and Froshiber Says and still waiting for Vodafone to email me my Wipeout code
