This Vita bundle is insane... (Vita, mem card, AssCreed $179.99 WOW)

Vitas will be hitting the bargain bins imminently following this holiday season, so I'm passing. I'll pick one up when they're selling for $50 in six months.
 
The longer I think about it, the more I'm talking myself out of this deal. I need to stop trying to convince myself I would get $180 of value from a handheld when I've never played more than 10 minutes of games on my iPhone or iPad. Money much better spent on PSN or Steam.
 
Meh, Brave deal went in one second, so I can tell im not getting this. Are people using some kind of instabuy app or something?
 
Amazing value right there; I'm actually jealous right now. Anyone who grabs this deal is in for a hell of a good time with all those games.

Brave was a lightning deal so limited quantities on a product with main stream appeal under 10 dollars. The vita is a gold box deal so they will have a good amount and is still almost 200 dollars. Still doubt this is enough to attract the casual gamers to the vita. I highly doubt it will sell out in 30 seconds. The price is not low enough to attract the flippers because the vita would be hard to flip and make money on.
 
I like this ending line:

Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation received a 6 out of 10 from Polygon, stating "Ubisoft's desire to transcend low expectations for handheld spin-offs is clear."

If it got a 6/10 Ubisoft clearly failed their desire, lol.

Depend. 6/10 is still a good game. There is more good than bad.
5/10 is an Ok game and below that we fall in the bad games.
I dont know why video games rating are so fucked up, where a 8.8 is seen as a bad game.
 
It's not going on sale RIGHT NOW is it? I'M FREAKING OUT HERE D:


Sounds like noon PST Friday the 23rd. But check tonight midnight PST might be on sale just not on front page. I hope to get one but if I don't won't freak out sure there will be some other sales of these bundles after the holidays when they have lot left in stock.

It is not the free games but price is attracting me to this sale. I won't play either free game honestly not my kind of games. The PS+ vita deals are getting me on board basically 4 free games I will play and cloud storage.

Vita is a whole different ball game compared to iPhone or iPad.

Probably my most played system this year. All the free games you're getting are great, too.

I can't pretend to know what you like but I'll just say there are a lot more substantial and meaty games on Vita than anything you can find on ios.
 
Update from the rep on Reddit.

I was going to make a separate post for this, but a leak made the news before I could!
To confirm, yes, this deal is happening.
Details:
White PlayStation Vita (Wi-fi)
Retail copy of Assassin's Creed III Liberation
4GB Memory Card
Download code for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (Vita)
3 months of PlayStation Plus
$10 Gift Card good towards Assassin's Creed 3 (360/PS3)
$179.99
It'll go live on our gold box page at noon PST in the Deal of the Day slot. We've got way more inventory for this than we do for any of our four-hour Lightning Deals, but don't plan to wait six hours and still get your hands on one.
I'll be checking this thread throughout the day / evening / morning to answer any questions anyone's got.
Happy Thanksgiving!

it was on sale for 199.99 in Canada.

White Vita is beautiful, and the best handheld ever made. It has great games.

Most of the games get shat on just being on Vita. Fucking reviewers and their bs, they bitch about too close to console yet they enjoy playing a decade old console tech on ***other*** hardware.

The critics are never happy. They hammered for dual sticks for the longest, Sony gives them and now they don't give a damn.

Although I don't necessarily agree with them I can understand where the reviewers are coming from. I want Sony to push for more unique experiences which are tailored for the Vita.

It is an amazing piece of hardware and with PS+ the hype is building up. I hope that it has a great 2013.

***which*** games are you talking about that get ***shat*** on because they're on Vita?
 
I mean he still doesn't confirm or deny that we can get it early. Maybe I'm being too cautious here but I want to have all of my bases covered. I don't want to go to bed at 2am and wake up to learn there was a way to do it early and they sold out.

It will not be available at midnight as I previously understood. Getting it through the gold box page is the way to go. It might go live on the product page a little earlier just to get all our ducks in a row, but don't worry about it selling out before the Gold Box even goes live (at noon PST).

You can get it through the product's page, but that will not be going live at midnight.

Hmm alright I guess. I'll probably stay up until 3am just to be extra safe but it's good to have a clearer idea now.
