You may even be able to contact UPS to have them hold it and just pick it up at their distribution center. I've never tried, but that seems like something they would offer. Though maybe it's too logical so they probably don't.

Wait, what?
Literally 3 seconds before I read this, I bought MOHU FU via Media Go on my laptop for £7.99.
My intention is to go to my download history on my wifi Vita and download it from there, is that possible? I dont own a PS3.
I know you would like that.
I have the cash. Stop making sense. You're gonna make me pull the trigger on this damnit!
There's nothing that I *don't* want. It's just I'd be saving $50 bucks and getting a bigger memory stick for free if I wait a week. Oh Sony, why didn't you just push both releases up a week.

The 3G is the only thing about it you can't sell. If you don't want the 4gb card, throw it up on amazon for $15 with $4.50 shipping. If you don't want Little Deviants sell that for $28ish. Once you subtract whatever you don't want, it won't come out exactly even with a wifi, but it will be close, you'll have a nice case and have it a week earlier.
Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Come to the dark side. You know you wanna.......

And don't forget that it is a long weekend (in the states) so you'll get some extra time with the Vita.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Man, I have the money, but I'm so stupid pissed about how Sony and others are handling the launch.
Amazon has that promo, but it's 3G only. The FEB.. again 3G. I don't want the 3G model, have no need for it, and could care less. Only place I'm going to play the thing online is where I have wi-fi.
..but you actually save money pre-ordering the 3G from Amazon.. and there's no bonus for the Wi-Fi.
Thus, no freaking pre-order from me... I'll wait for the eventual GC discounts.

That's a better Coke commercial than it is a Vita commercial. Who knew drinking from a can could be so...sexy?
Anyone know if Costco will be selling the Vita? It was on their website a few months ago being advertised that it was coming soon, but got pulled since then. I tried to ask at my local store but the person I asked had not idea what a Vita was.
I hope they do because I would rather buy it there then any other place due to their amazing return/warranty policy.

Your post just reminded me that I never claimed my two free PSP games via the Welcome Back program.
Here's what my final list looks like:
System:
Playstation Vita Wi-Fi - $249.99
Games:
WipEout 2048 - $29.99
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational - $29.99
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 - $39.99
Lumines: Electronic Symphony - $37.99
Dynasty Warriors Next - $39.99
Accessories:
Playstation Vita Starter Kit w/Memory Card - $39.99
Playstation Vita Cradle - $19.99
Sub Total: $487.92
Amazon Gift Card: $351
Grand Total: $136.92
I don't see myself using 3G at all and I expect the memory card prices to drop in the next year or so. I'm not buying digital unless it's exclusively such and I'll use the memory card strictly for save games. 4GB should last me a long time until I need to splurge for a larger capacity one.

That there's a deal on the 3G model, but nothing on the Wi-Fi. I know they are trying to move the wi-fi to get kickbacks from AT&T.. but still.. it's lame.
Kick me a free game with the Wi-Fi model and I'm sold.

Does the custom soundtrack feature working during PSP games being played on the Vita?
I adore this. Nice.
Unfortunately not

Guess I will just have to wait and see on the 22nd.
Noticed earlier on though that people are saying really high prices for MOHU FU.
On the european PSN its only £7.99, why is it so much for everyone else?
Quoting onlyindreams again:
I know you won't use 3G, I won't either, but this bundle comes with everything the FEB does minus Little Deviants and the case. Not sure if they ship internationally.
Your post just reminded me that I never claimed my two free PSP games via the Welcome Back program.
I think you can still claim them. You have to look under account management or something on your PS3 (if you have one). I checked around a month ago and I could still claim a free PS3 game or two but didn't because I had already done so on other accounts.

I figured that was the case. It must be part of the Vita SDK (the music track control).
Thanks!
All the time.
Jesus guys, how is an expensive TV campaign going to work before launch? At the moment, vita is not marketed at Joe Public, but at hardcore gamers. These gamers read websites, watch vids and know vita is coming from E3. Getting a vita in every game store also means that most hardcore gamers would have seen the device if they've been to a store, which is more than likely. I think the marketing for it has been OK for who they are targeting. Hardcore gamers aren't swayed by a tv campaign. After the system launches they have a tv campaign ready to go (according to the blog) and will then target everyday users. Initial units in stock go to those who really want the device, followup shipments go to Mr and Mrs Public. But before launch, you target the early adopters and that isn't usually with tv ads.

UPS will leave it at your front door.
Seriously? Huh. That's...vaguely disappointing.
I think it looks pretty cool...but I'm not sure how I feel about it being on all the time. They should at least give you an option to turn it off.

Which is why I am waking up early and sitting in my front room waiting for the truck to come around the corner on Monday AND Wednesday.

It's not like SCEA can put up a decent ad either. Sony's shitty marketing is easily their biggest weakness.
No way, as bad as this is ad is that baby ad is one of the worst ads I've ever seen.
It does weigh more but I don't believe it's a noticeable difference.
Isn't SCEE the one who bought ad time during a soccer game to display a short film in advertisement of PS3 but the film itself had absolutely nothing to do with PS3?
If it really isn't the full ad, than it could still be good. I was just wtf-ed at how abruptly it stops.
I get the point and it seems well executed.
Sony needs to go back to their PS2-era marketing department. They had some very memorable ads with great messages, which set a perfect tone for the brand.. quite unique.

They used to collaborate with David Lynch too.. great stuff.

The Welcome Back PSP games were in my download history even though I never claimed them. Downloaded Killzone the other day. Try it out.
Just got my first Vita game today. Hot Shots Golf! The boxes are so cute!
I've seen the comparison shots but they look so tiny on their own.
6 seconds really is very short. I'm not sure what they could really do with that setup to make the ad longer though.
Same message as the Mental Wealth ad I linked to. Girl is getting her nails done, but she also has a second life where she is a professional boxer.. all thanks to Vita!
If I was on Weekend Confirmed I would drop the word dichotomy.
