The PlayStation Vita In 2011-2012

Preordered from GAME
Got the GAME deal which is the wifi vita, uncharted, 4GB memory and Preorder pack of earphones, £5 pounds off a download, and the frobisher says thing. BTW, what IS the frobisher says thing? Is it a free game or just a demo or what?
Cost me £254 after using some of my online credit, and I am going to use some of my instore credit on launch day to get Unit 13 for free.
Also found out that my local GAME store in Bury St Edmunds got a demo pod in yesterday, so I will be going over there sometime soon just to make sure I will be happy with my preorder.

But seriously, what is the frobisher dealio?
Youtube it. Warioware type minigames. Looks pretty fun if you have 10 mins to kill.

By the way, Unit13 doesn't come out until 2 weeks after launch :)
 
Really? On AT&T? Be careful if you're grandfathered in and are doing it through a jailbroken phone.
I'm UK based, it's a legit contract without jailbreak. :)

I saw this deal on HUKD. They discuss the merits of the deal here - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/18-...amobile-3-network-ebay-littlecube2010-1125690

Thanks. The price is low enough to be worth a little risk I think.

EDIT: Plunge taken. :)

I assume that the time won't start until I activate it?
 
Looks great, but there's no way I can justify triple-dipping on this game. Maybe if they included 1 & 2 in the same package.
I could, but not for forty fucking dollars. This is a game that originally released in 2004. Selling now in 2012 for forty dollars. Even Sigma was released more than five years ago. It's a total joke.

Source? I didn't expect it so soon. Kinda thought it would be in the 2nd batch closer to Gravity Daze.
 
There's a bunch of Rayman screens on the EU Playstation Blogs flickr. They've also posted that it's going to feature pinch to zoom, allowing you to get a closer look at the artwork!

Sumioni looks really good.

I find it kind of interesting that people keep accusing the Vita of being a "port" console, when, so far, there have been quite a few original IPs announced for it's first year, with games like Sumioni, Escape Plan, and Unit 13 really standing out to me.

I love that the art style and some game play elements of Sumioni remind me of Okami. It's just one more game added to my list. I wonder when it's expected release date is, and if it's a PSN only title (seems like it could be, and if it is, I wonder if it'll be a $9.99 title like Super Stardust?).
 
Haaaaa, nope.
Actually, the US is getting a free game for 3G users. Not sure what the choices are yet though.

From IGN on CES: "Vita players will be able to activate the 3G data plans directly from their 3G Vitas. Once the data plan is activated, players "will be eligible to choose one free download from a list of select games available on the PlayStation Store." The list of free games was not revealed. "

XSEED is publishing this in the US. It will of course be available on PSN, but I expect a retail release as well. It'll most likely sell for $29.99 or $39.99...

Ahh, even so, I'll still snag it anyway, granted I enjoy the demo when it releases here. It at least has me sold on it's style and interesting game play. We'll see if the actual level design is solid soon enough.

I didn't think Sumioni looked fun and after playing the demo I can confirm it's not enjoyable at all. Too easy, shitty controls. It's for really young kids IMO.


And now, some Wipeout screens :

Takao, you ok? I've almost choked on my tea while reading some of those, but...

Edit:
Oh. I thought that you lost it.

On a game related note - I've finally preordered Rayman. Sadly, Ubisoft Japan probably doesn't plan to release it before April, so I had to use Play-Asia and take the US version.
 
You best put that in a quote box then. Bigoted use of the term "gay" will get you banned.

I don't think I've ever even used the word "gay" on GAF. If I think something's bad I'll call it crap or something.

I can't believe you guys thought that was me, bwahahaa.
 
Does the PS3 Rayman have MP then?

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/11/21/vodafone-announced-as-preferred-partner-for-ps-vita-3g-connectivity/

did you guys see this? old, but awesome.

If you're in europe, and you buy a PS Vita 3g and connect to vodafone, you get wipeout2048 download :D:D:D:D

i was leaning towards 3g, but the the price was a issue, since for that price I could get 1 extra game. But this just seals the deal. :)
Just bought a pre-paid 3G SIM that gives me 3GB/month for 6 months for £20. A decent plan with Vodafone costs £10+/month so it'll be cheaper buying Wipeout separately I think.
