I finally finalized my order!

PS Vita First Edition
16gb memory card
Wipeout
Uncharted

I'm still debating about canceling my Wipeout order and just getting it digitally.
 
Yep, money saved on not getting first edition can go to getting the 32GB card (which I still think is gonna be way to small in the long run)

For $100, it should be a 64GB card or something :(

I'm sure it's been discussed ad nauseum but wow @ those flash prices. Unlike with PS3, they're going for the jugular with the accessory prices.

Damn, I had no idea that Top Darts is coming to Vita. Surprisingly enough, it was the most fun I had with the Move. Gyro controls could be perfect.

Right now I've got Uncharted preordered along with my system and memory stick at Gamestop, and I've got Rayman and Wipeout in my cart on Amazon. I'm tempted to add one more retail game, but maybe I should save my funds for DD only games like Top Darts.


i hate youuuuuu

problem?

Yeah sony memory cards are $$$. Got a Vaio Z2 back in october and bought some flash cards to augment the small SSD. Got 128gb SD card for $150 ish, and a sony 32 is 90ish.
 
if you ordered the First Edition Bundle, it releases on the 15th if you didn't then it's normal *sucker* launch for you which is the 22nd .

I love people trying to justify burning money. If you really wanted it early, you would have imported. Getting a First Edition Bundle is just overspending and burning cash.

This is what I'll be getting:

Wifi model
8 GB memory stick

Hori Screen protector
Hot Shot Golf
Cradle

I would get Ridge Racer if Namco would have put more effort into it like they did on the PSP. Lumines is just too expensive at 40 dollars. I'll get another memory card when I need one in the future and it'll be cheaper by then.

why not go 3G?
 
why not go 3G?

I'm a bit short on cash and I'm buying the memory card with a gift card. I'm contemplating in selling my PSP, but I'm not sure. I won't be using 3G anyways since I'll mostly play single player games and Wifi for online multi player.

Honestly, I'm in for the bundle because of the case. It is the best case I've seen either first party or third party. If I could get that separately, I wouldn't get the bundle.

Getting:

Vita FEB (I know, I know. But I have some extra spending money from income taxes)
8GB memory card
WipEout 2048
MAYBE Uncharted
Escape Plan

I thought it was a $10 PSN game?

Edit: Oh, didn't really you were talking about Little Deviants. I agree with you there, but it still looks like a decent game, and I can always trade it in or sell it if it's no good.

22nd cannot come fast enough. So hyped to get mine.

Preordered Uncharted and ModNation Racers, and I'll probably download Hot Shots as well. Doing my part :)

i still don't understand how people think the FEB is overpaying.

3g unit is 300
4gb memory card is 20
little deviants is 30
case is worth 20 at least (also the best case in my opinion)

that is 370 dollars worth of stuff for 350 and you get it a week early. i don't see how that is a waste of money.

This thread really makes it harder to not get one of those on release day. However, I need to save since life is really hard in here. Priorities, must resist the hype.

The brown classic case thing for the Vita looks amazing! I really need to get back on portable gaming, my last device was a Silver Game Boy Pocket, back in the day, man... =/

I just posted this in the controversial thoughts thread, just to see an advert for the dream club game on this thread, and then read someone's comment saying they actually bought it!
I know everyone has their quirks, and we are all entitled to our opinions, well this is my opinion: I think that anyone who buys/plays any of those Japanese schoolgirl molestation games should have whatever tiny genitalia they have burnt, whilst still attached.
I shall not mention it further, but I just had to say it.
Carry on.
PS, massively stoked for Vita, first ever day 1 console buy for me, and my first handheld.

eh? It's $50 extra, if i imported how much extra would it be without a case, a memory card and two games?
Plus it's my money, I can get it early and I have the means to do so therefore I do.

It's not worth paying $30 either.

dude, it's a $9.99 game.

3g unit is 300

that is 380 dollars worth of stuff for 350 and you get it a week early. i don't see how that is a waste of money.

exactly.

Here's my rank list of biggest suckers:

4. People who buy the FE bundle
3. People who buy $100 32 memory card.
2. People who buy both the FEB and a $100 32gb memory card.
1. People who imported for ~ $500.

Hmm...

I was gonna get Shinobido, but it looks expensive.

Which should I get:

Shino
Army Corps
Katamarmar

or

Wait 2 weeks for Unit 13. I think I might wait.

Nah, I just want more info on it. This is the game I've been anticipating ever since it appeared in the NGP demo reel, but it's also the game I know the least about.



Yup, I already have it locked down.

I missed it at $39.99 on Amazon.com, and now it's $49.96. I did check however, and nail down Hot Shots Golf at $29.96 the other day, and now I see that they have WipEout for the same price slashed from $39.99 or so. Nailed that down just now.

I'm in number 4. Not bad. I thought I was going to be in a lot worse shape in your list.
 
Just pre-ordered mine at Gamestop today along with Uncharted 3. I asked about 32GB cards and they said they don't allow pre-orders on those, which I found weird since I could have sworn someone in the old thread said they had pre-ordered one at Gamestop. They had gotten a bunch of 4GB cards in, but no 8, 16, or 32 yet. The system wasn't playable at my Gamestop either, it was behind a glass display case and you could only tap buttons to watch videos of a couple of games and features. Really hoping I don't have trouble finding a large memory card at launch - may order from Amazon to be safe.

Oh, and pre-ordered Wi-Fi only system btw.

Getting Unit 13 on release definitely, Shinobido 2 I will get later on down the line though.
Where are you? Zavvi have got Shinobido 2 for £25 I think...

gonna be a while yet until i can play wipeout. :( gonna probably try to build a new pc this year.

Well, one out of two ain't bad. It'll be just as good when you do eventually play it, only both the game and the system will be cheaper.
 
Just in case people didn't know, by being an unlocked member at Best Buy you get a coupon for buy two get one free on any game $40 and less. It's perfect for the vita. You also get a 10% off digital coupon code which would be perfect for escape plan, super Stardust, or motorstorm rc

2 straight crappy posts. I wonder how you advised people on 3DS launch which was garbage compared to this.
 
They're talking about Little Deviants.

oh?! nvm then. I don't think little deviants is worth $30 either. $19.99 maybe but $30 is a rip-off...

I'm one of those suckers. In my defense though I got it for $15 off from Costco so I didn't quite pay $100. I'm sure I'll end up using it though so I'm not too worried about it.

well the thing is, it's a one time purchase and getting it at $75 is a good deal to me.
 
That $400 buys me 5 games, 32GB card, case, stand, USB cable, headphones, 3G and a week of not salivating while waiting for it to come out.

Do it!!! I mean you can get your games early in the week with no Vita. I'm sure I can play enough for the both of us :D.

All jokes aside, I'd wait if I were in your place.

I was thinking about getting the 3G version, but a Mifi dongle is much more enticing. It's something else to carry in my pocket but it's worth it if all my devices can connect to it. I hope that giffgaff sim allows tethering.

Probably will end up getting


Vita Wifi
32GB Card
Starter Kit
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Shinobido 2
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
Everybody's Golf
Army Corps of Hell
Blazblue
Gravity Rush

Should keep me busy for a while.
