On a related note. That nice Thrustmaster VIP case has jumped fro about number 40 on Amazons best sellers to number 7 since I posted those images here and then a couple of sites (Eurogamer and others) posted articles about them. There are going to be some nicely dressed Vita's in the UK come Feb 22nd!

I changed my Starter Kit to a VIP case :) Thanks for that link :p

Thinking i should cancel my Vita preorder from amazon, i have this gut feeling Vita wont sell as good and major uk supermarkets like tesco and sainsburys will have drastic price cuts or killer bundle deals. I just want a Vita+8GB and UMVC bundle deal for £200

Not too sure. There is the obvious benefit that you would be able to pick up your Vita at exactly midnight at Tesco though!
 
Is the thread title meant to read like a eulogy?




Looks like you barely missed out on free shipping then.. shame.


Ah, I can live with that. Can't wait to get my hands on a Vita so I guess it's worth it.
I wonder why shopping to other countries is free though.

Eh, and I thought the size of some downloadable PSN games were huge...

well, yeah. most PSN games these days are 1gb+ so games under 1gb these days are small.
Motorstorm artic edge was around 1gb. and thats what i was comparing it too. I was expecting ~1.3gb.

Arctic Edge was more of a full-featured game, hence it having been a retail game at retail price. Motorstorm: RC is a PSN title, likely to be around 10 bucks.
 
So I touched one in a gamestop today, my first thought was nice screen, second thought perfect size, third thought - wow these face buttons and sticks are tiny!, fourth thought - love the metal strip on the top of the unit, final thought - gravity or w/e game takes forever to load. Then I gave up and left. It's nice but I doubt I'll buy one day one.

Guess that 4gb will be nothing after this and the other PSN titles I plan to get.

Yeah I think so. I've got 8gb from the UK Amazon bundle but at some point I'll get a 32gb one.

I didn't want to order one from the US or Asia and not get one in time for the 22nd. I think there was a Canadian site doing them for £67 posted and the 16gb is £40 here so that's not a bad deal. Since I'm getting the 8gb for free as well I can alsways sell that to someone to put something towards it.

I'm tempted to even order the 32gb one right now since I'm talking about it!

EDIT: Just ordered 3 for a total of £212 shipped so £70 each. Can't imagine I'll have any problems getting rid of them for at least that since SCEE doesn't want to bring them here. EDIT2: though I am offering them to people on another forum for cost first, then here.

The site for anyone interested http://www.videogamesplus.ca/product_info.php?cPath=576_578&products_id=19652

Hehe. The wife is paying a chunk of my Vita as my birthday is in April and we are in a nice place financially at the moment even while paying off our Florida holiday in August, doing the bathroom, fixing her fecking car etc. (plus no council tax for the next two months people!) so I know I'm fortunate and I'll never forget it! :D

EDIT: Just looked on my DHD and they are indeed identical. Clearly different on the PC here though.At first I thought he'd changed the first one and my cache was just displaying the first but he hasn't. How odd.

That's weird as hell. When viewing this pic and the one you quoted on my laptops lcd there's a clear difference in color. When viewing it on my phone with an oled, theres no difference at all.

Same here. I'm on my Touchpad with IPS LCD display and they look the same. Very weird.

Count me as incredibly jealous.
 
Hmm I wonder which screen protector is a good one. I would go for Hori if it didn't cover the whole front of the Vita. Have anybody tried the Sony Two pack screen protectors? If so does it measure up to Hori?

they are supposed to be good

I ended up just ordering this one though - http://youtu.be/Fc-z6ADmRcI

I like that it covers the back too since the touch pad is supposed to scratch really easily
