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

I got my All Stars and PS+ codes this morning, but no AC3 $10 code yet.

I love that the PS+ codes are three 30 day codes. That way when there's a free game on PSN+ that I really want to play I can sign up for 30 days, play the shit out of it, and then let it expire.

I just hope they all make it out eventually, some people just got assassin's creed, some just got PS all stars, and some got PS+ and all stars apparently. I just hope people aren't skipped over when they send them all out.
 
Is it normal for the store to not let you redeem PSN+ codes unless you store a credit card with them? After the whole PSN debacle last year, I have no desire to give them my CC info ever again, let alone store it on file.

It's only required for 30-day trials. I put my info in, redeemed the codes, turned off auto-renewal, and deleted my info.
 
My vita shipped yesterday and got my codes today... the PS+ code is actually not one code 3 month code, but 3 one month codes, which sucks because I cant use those :(
 
The Assassin's Creed III $10 discount is applied to your account. If you add the game to your cart, you will see it take -$10 off. Its utterly useless now though because the game went up to $49.99. Who wants to buy the game for $5 more than on Black Friday? Amazon better repeat the $35 deal for Cyber Monday. Did anyone catch when Amazon said it will expire? If it doesn't, I can just hold out a couple/few months until the price drops to $30.

Really?
My Vita already shipped and I got an e-mail with my PS All-Stars & PS+ codes but I just tested adding ACIII to my cart and there was no discount applied.
I even went to the final checkout page to see if it showed up there - no dice.

*EDIT* Oh and to anyone in the US looking for a Vita case, check your local Target.
I got an official Custom Clear Case for $5.98 and I also saw the other official Vita Carrying Case (the fake leather-looking one) for $5.98 as well!

I just got all three this am, and I'm one of the people that ordered when it went up about 30 minutes early. Also received shipping notice about 12pm central yesterday, so about 24 hours from shipping notice to all three codes being e-mailed.

I would guess they are just working through them now.
 
Wait, those only work in the US? That's confirmed? Boooo. :( Well, in that case, if anyone wants to buy my codes, they're available.

if I wasn't broke from black friday I would be interested lol, I have steam codes I could trade though (mostly indie games) if that interests you at all.
 
Got my codes this morning. Weird that they gave me 3 different 1 month codes for PS+. I like this though as I can use it whenever I want. Play through all the available games now the let it auto cancel. If they have crappy games the next month then skip it until they have something I want to play again. I will make these PS+ codes last double the time.

That Smash Brothers game code will be gone today. That game doesn't interest me in the least.

That's always the case with one-month codes sadly.
I'll test it later just to make sure anyway

I hope you guys realize these codes expire on March 13th.

I am actually interested in playing the game but trying to move mine because I will just get it on the ps3 in a few months for cheap. The joy of that game will be found with local MP which isn't easy to do with a single vita :P

I hope you guys realize these codes expire on March 13th.

whether they actually do or not is another story though... my LBP2 collectors code expired january 2012... I redeemed it this past september lol
 
Is that how PS+ US based 1 month codes work outside that country? I'm in Canada and I did get 3 separate codes as well.
Bullshit if I can't use them. >:|

I think PS+ should work in Canada. No harm in trying. The All-Stars stuff should work though.

Not sure with canada, you guys tend to get special treatment :P
Still, that applies to one-month PS+ codes only, everything else shouldm't require a CC.
 
Question about the PS+ codes.

Will they work in Canada?

I ask because for Live, at least, only some codes work across the border (points do not, but subscription cards do, for example), and there are other codes on other services whose behaviour is similar.

I'm going to assume I can't use them, but I am curious if any of you can let me know otherwise.

Edit:

That's what I get for leaving the window open and not posting, someone else asked the same question.

If gate777 figures out how to use them and/or not use them, let me know so I can get rid of 'em if I have to.

I'm sure they are, I'm not panicking it's just weird that some would get one first over the other. I guess they have a different group of people sending out each code though which would make sense.

Yeah, I'll try once my vita gets here.

Good to know a CC shouldn't be required. I've never put my CC into PSN; I always used psn cards. Thanks.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned but Sony still has the Black ops declassified bundle for $199 and if you sign up for a Sony Rewards card and make any purchase you'll get a $100 statement credit. Not ideal for everyone I know, but still not a bad alternative.

I'll most likely not attempt to redeem any codes until my vita gets here. Amazon says it'll be here between 6-18 Dec :-|

If they don't work, I'll swap them with a willing GAF member.

Ah, that makes sense. I'll double check in the Canada deals thread, those folks might know as well.

Similarly, I'll just offload mine if they're no good too. If I find any more info I'll let you know.
 
I got the 199 bundle from gamestop before I learned about this deal. It already shipped.

Does anyone know if I can return something from gamestop.com to a retail store?
 
my vita bundle shipped!!!!!!!!!! but it shipped combined with a box of tuna and 2 blurays. Please don't be damaged, please don't be damaged. Tuna is a rough companion.

As an addendum, a friend just tried HIS codes.

In his situation, they took just fine.

HOWEVER, he has a credit card on file. A prepaid Visa. No idea if they'll work with no CC attached. My assumption would be no. He is a Canuck like us.

If your situation is similar then those codes will work for you. Otherwise I can't confirm.

They dont work without a CC on file.

Crap, I don't have a CC associated with my account, I prefer PSN cards. I didn't trust it and sure enough, I didn't get burned when PSN got hacked. Thanks for that.
 
Shipping soon, finally. Hope I can clear some of my backlog before it arrives.

Never imagined getting a Vita this early. I waited a whole year before I got a PS2 and PS3.
 
Do any of you guys have a spare $10 Ass Creed III code that you don't plan on using? I never received mine and CS told me I'd have to wait 3 days. But I was planning on picking up a copy for a gift before then during Cyber Monday. Thanks in advance to whomever!
 
I'll take any PS+ months that people don't want.

Also thinking of selling my PSABR, ACIII Lib and code for AC3....someone make me an offer on those and we'll see.

If anyone doesn't want to use the PS+ codes because of the credit card issues, I'd gladly take them!

I'm sure you guys would lol
at least I was willing to offer people steam games for them :P

anyways im curious for those who got the bundle, if this is your first experience with PS plus what are your first thoughts?
 
I'll pay 3 bucks a month of plus if you're not interested in the codes....

Quick question: if you have a sibling and plan to share the vita, if they wanted to create their own account they would need another memory card, as well as another ps+ subscription in their name, right? (same thing with ps battle all stars, you would need 2 codes?)
 
Unless you paid for Saturday delivery most will get their systems tomorrow if they paid for 1 day shipping and Wednesday if they got 2 day shipping.
i suppose, I know some already got it though. mostly I was trying to stare the convo away from code begging :P

also a lot of the two day shipping people are getting it tomorrow, I know I am... I can't wait if for no other reason I can get a ton of crap off my PS3 and onto my PC instead as I downloaded all of the free games from plus, all of the free games in general, like 10 demos, and like 7 apps, as well as like 20 dlc all for the vita... and for some stupid reason while my psp stuff i downloaded ages ago has it's own folder the vita stuff doesn't so my ps3 is a mess right now :/
