PlayStation Vita Deals Thread of Why You Don't Preorder

$50 gift card with purchase of Vita Wi-fi.

Caveats: from Nebraska Furniture Mart, and $50 only good for a single purchase order (any left over is forfeited). Has anyone dealt with NFM before? Will they ship all the way out to Michigan? The site won't let you place an order yet but I've heard that you can call them to order.

Looks like target won't be carrying rayman at all.. not online, no spot for it in the store..

That was the one I wanted for my free game.. so it looks like this deal won't be for me.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
The $20 Amazon thing sounds like everyone who preordered a Wi-Fi Vita through 2/20 will get the credit. I wonder if it'll extend to people who got a 4 GB yesterday too.

It sucks cause I re-preordered for the free 4GB card, I rather get $20 credit to go towards a new game since I already have 8GB.

I canceled my original wi-fi preorder I placed all the way back in June as well to get on this deal and for some reason I couldn't get the deal to work even when I went all the way to checkout with both items in the cart :\... so I was like f it, I'll just buy the 3G/Wi-fi model and placed the order. I decided to contact CS via chat really late last night and was "like wtf is the deal, its working for other people" and the rep simply said sorry and placed a 4GB card for free for me and didn't even bother to check that I bought the more expensive model.... I wasnt about to say dont do it. So I'm getting a free 4gb memory card when I shouldn't be. Got to love amazon. I got a one free game, $25 store credit as well and a free 4GB card yesterday. I think I confused the shit out of all my reps by mistake. I'd feel bad, but I cant considering how much money I spend on their site a year. Plus Tiger/Buy.com shitted on me today, so it all kinda evens out.

You can already get the Playstation Vita for $194, free shipping, no tax.

Well, it's actually $244 but you get a free $50 giftcard with that purchase and they will be selling the 16gb memory card for about that much (or you can just pickup a game with that gift card).

I bought one. They're sold out, so I had to call them to order it. They said they will ship the item out when their next supply comes in.

Also, Target is now doing their buy 2 get 1 free sale online...

http://slickdeals.net/f/3976486-Tar...d-vita-39-99-b2g1-free-w-Resistance-included?

Use this link to knock another $5 off the total...

The best part, they are selling Uncharted for $39.99, so you can buy 3 Uncharteds for $74.99.

The second best part, for whatever reason they have Resistance: Burning Skies included in the buy 2 get 1 free sale.

So you can order it and when they realize the game won't be out till May, can swap it for Gravity Daze or Rayman Origins or something later on.

Picked up Virtua Tennis 4, Uncharted and Resistance: Burning Skies for $74.99 + $5 tax.

I just wish they stocked Rayman Origins and Gravity Daze as well. I would happily spend another $80 for Rayman + Gravity Daze + (insert game here).

I always hear about deals from Nebraska Furniture Mart lol.

Seems like the most random of all places to sell video games.

It's actually a huge huge shopping center owned by Warren Buffet. Think of a Fry's + a furniture store put together. When I was going to college in Omaha, that was the place to go to for college students (No Ikea).

Fuck. I lost track of the games I'd ordered this far. Damn you Vita deals :/

Well, with the out of stock titles pulled from Amazon I may be passing on this sale afterall. Just get some DL games until either REALLY good individual sales pop up or games I'm more seriously anticipating come out.

I called them too; they won't ship something to you unless you've made a purchase with them in the past, and even then, they won't ship electronics outside of the state. So unless you're living in Nebraska, Kansas, or Iowa, this deal won't work.
 
For Canadians:

Im taking advantage of Gamestops Vita promotion, trading in 4 games for $100 credit. Games include AC Rev, AC Brotherhood, Rage and Deus Ex.

Crap. Looks like Amazon removed Marvel vs Capcom 3 from Buy2Get1 deal.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=bt_atcg_mine_mm?tag=videogames063a-20&ie=UTF8&ie=UTF8&docId=1000772511&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=10QZCE8FESSB9S66EKFW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1346912522&pf_rd_i=3010556011

The list looks almost same in terms of number of games. Anyone know what game added in place of MVC3?

It's a lot less now actually. They removed UMvC3, FIFA, BlazBlue, and Wipeout.

How did you get free shipping? I'm at checkout and it's asking me 20 for standard shipping.

For anyone wondering: no, they didn't move into unadvertised territory like the memory card deal, adding Blazblue (FROM Amazon) with Uncharted and Rayman Origins didn't result in a discount in checkout like it did before.

Is there any chance amazon will update their B2G1 lists on 22th?

because the list right now is really really shitty.
I wouldn't hold out if there's 3 games you want enough, but on the flipside I half expect that them removing out of stock titles also means they MIGHT put in stock titles in. Hell, it may be something of an apology for reducing the selection this drastically on just the second day.
 
amazon is giving $20 credit for vita purchase? How come I received nothing?

They are giving a $20 credit for vita gear/games if you preordered the wifi only vita before they starting bundling with the 4GB memory card.

Emails have started going out this morning.
 
Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Due to the recent addition of a "Buy a PlayStation Vita - WiFi get a 4GB Memory Card" offer, we'd like to offer you a $20 Amazon.com Credit since you ordered the PlayStation Vita - WiFi on or before February 20, 2012 (and may have already ordered and received a memory card).

Here is your $20 code: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Please note that the credit is only good toward the purchase of PlayStation Vita games and accessories shipped and sold by Amazon.com. This credit expires on June 30, 2012.

The email didn't say anything about giving a 4gb memory card... That is kind of crazy if they people who got the free memory card get the credit too...
