Looks like the free minis you get with PS plus are unplayable on Vita, they all error out when you launch them. It looks like minis you purchased do work, however...

Wait, same game but depending how you obtain it determines if it works or not?

 

[Raine]

It's not cheaper. It's more expensive. You're paying full price for little deviants and then $30 for a case that should be $20. So you overpay $10.

Little Deviants costs $30 so it'd only be $20 for the case. Not to mention the 4GB memory card.

 

[Takao]

just wondering, anyone know how many titles are currently available on psp store? Currently we have around 250 titles(including mini) of psp titles on vita store. Just wondering how many titles are missing from psp store.

You also get a 4gb memory card which means you pay $10 less

OMG ! not this again....'sigh

3G Vita - $270
4gb - $20
Little Deviants - $30
Case - $30

Add that up ad you get $350

The only minis I have in my account that are Vita compatible are PS Plus freebies, so far none work. My friend is seeing the same thing but he has one mini that he purchased and that one is working for him.

The error code is C1-2858-3...screen shot coming if anyone cares.

I'm confused. Why is the 3g vita listed at $270?

 

[- J - D -]

I wonder just how many lucky Canadians got the Vita shipped to them already. A few hundred, maybe?

 

[Toki767]

3G Vita - $270
4gb - $20
Little Deviants - $30

Plus you get it a week early. I'm not saying it's the greatest deal ever (or even a good deal), but some people will want that bundle.

 

[Raine]

Since when does the 3G/WIFI Vita cost $270? I don't understand how you're looking at this

Make no mistake, I wouldn't buy this but the actual value matches up.

 

[- J - D -]

That's just how Marty is calculating it. You can divide the extra $10 cost of the FEB *now that the 3G model gets 8gb card vs. FEB's 4) any way you want it among the included items.

EX. take $10 from the case, move it to the Vita. $280. It works out the same.

Eh, I guess you could look at it that way.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Yes, that's all great. But can you snake?

Going by some folks' ghosts in the time trial leaderboard races? I'm guessing so. I've not spent enough time with it to really get everything down.

Tell you what, though, not to overcrowd the platform or anything, but I'd love a Sonic and SEGA Allstars racer on the thing. Get on it, Sumo!

 

[Evolved1]

The 3g vita comes with an 8GB card?

... lol this is confusing.

[JohngPR]

No newest GoW or Valkyria Chron 2 either.

Or Jak and Daxter: Lost Frontier.

 

[- J - D -]

Eh, I guess you could look at it that way.

That's how it is, unless you want to assign a monetary value to getting it 1-week early. But now Canadian folks are getting wi-fi Vitas 1 week earlier than FEB people. Eh.

The 3g vita comes with an 8GB card?

... lol this is confusing.

Yup. All 3G Vitas (non-First Edition bundle) have been upgraded to include an 8gb card.

 

[injurai]

So how does the Vita PC client work? Can you just dump your files into a folder or does it sync using some weird file system ala itunes?

 

[Callibretto]

Counting psp umd legacy, psp psn games, and minis, there are more than 550+ titles on there. Man, we're missing a lot f titles on vita store.

 

[VanWinkle]

Or Jak and Daxter: Lost Frontier.

Or Resistance: Retribution This makes me very sad because I was going to buy that game day 1 to play dual analog.

 

[Liquid_015]

Yeah I'm semi confused. So ultimately buying the 3G Bundle is less expensive compared to the First Edition?

 

[Toki767]

Yup. All 3G Vitas have been upgraded to include an 8gb card.

For a limited time. I wonder how long it'll be that way for. Maybe just the initial shipment?

 

[- J - D -]

Don't sound so exasperated, it'll all be over before you know it.

 

[patsu]

It wouldn't matter one bit for me. I want a 3G version ! ^_^

 

[Callibretto]

Dump file on your pc designated vita folder, the file will be displayed on your vita, then just copy and paste the files.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Make no mistake, I wouldn't buy this but the actual value matches up.

Cuz the only two versions of the 3G Vita is the First Edition Bundle and the regular version. One comes with a 4GB card, the other with 8GB. If you're talking about pure value of the bundle, the fact is if you buy the 3G regular edition, you get a better value for your money.

You can spend $300 for a 3G, a $30 game of your choice instead of being locked into Little Deviants, and a case of your choice and come out with the same price but better goods.

Your only advantage is you get it earlier if you go with the First Edition Bundle. It is not a better value.

Yeah I'm semi confused. So ultimately buying the 3G Bundle is less expensive compared to the First Edition?

Yes.

 

[Evolved1]

Yup. All 3G Vitas have been upgraded to include an 8gb card.

Ok thanks for that. That pretty much seals it for me. Switching from FEB to reg 3G and will just buy the extras à la carte.

 

[patsu]

Yeah I'm semi confused. So ultimately buying the 3G Bundle is less expensive compared to the First Edition?

It's $50 cheaper and you get an 8Gb card. The FEB has a 4GB card, limited edition case, Little Deviants, and you get it one week earlier (next Wednesday).

Both bundles include a free one month 3G usage, and a free game if you activate the 3G plan (for $15 @ 1 month). During that first month, you can also use AT&T's WiFi Hotspots nationwide for free.

[Suck on smoothie straw loudly like Kevin Butler]

 

[Raine]

Yeah I'm semi confused. So ultimately buying the 3G Bundle is less expensive compared to the First Edition?

Yes.

In short, here's the breakdown of things you're getting out of the box for people that are confused. (This doesn't include that the free AT&T Data Pass and free game that both systems get after you activate the 3G)

$299 3G/WIFI Launch Bundle - Includes 3G/WIFI Unit, 8GB Memory Card (2/22)
$349 First Edition Bundle - Includes 3G/WIFI Unit, 4GB Memory Card, Little Deviants, and Official Case. (2/15)

 

[madmaxx350]

probably just the first 2 weeks(if that many).

Yes.

$349 First Edition Bundle - Includes 3G/WIFI Unit, 4GB Memory Card, Little Deviants, and Official Case.(7+ Days early)

 

[VanWinkle]

If Sony had just thrown in that 8GB card along with the rest of the stuff, I wouldn't even have this problem. UGH. Sony. What jerks.

 

[the3ye]

It's doubtful that we will see FFT0.

If I remember right, T0 Ultimania confirmed english version of FFT0. They are working on it. I also saw some rumors that it will be VITA ex

 

[Marty Chinn]

sigh this again... Especially when we're trying to figure out the PSP games thing.

See we shouldn't sweep this under the rug. Not everyone knows about it.

 

[Liquid_015]

Cool, looks like I will be pre-ordering the 3G bundle instead sometime next week. Oh yes, is anyone going to get the PS Vita starter kit from Sony?

[VanWinkle]

I think you'd probably be better off just buying a case with built in game card slots since you're already getting that 8gb card. That's my opinion anyway. The headphones that come with it are probably very mediocre.

 

[Toki767]

I don't know that I would get that starter kit since it comes with a 4gb memory card.

 

[- J - D -]

Speaking of the starter kit, I just noticed that its packaging seems to have changed since the last time I browsed Amazon (yesterday, maybe?). Same with the other Sony branded Vita accessories.

Or maybe that's the front, and the image on the first page of this thread is the back? Whatever.
edit: wait, no, that was the Euro version.

 

[CaLe]

So my Amazon.ca order shipped today (Wi-Fi only version), I'll try and post impressions tomorrow if I can find a store that sells memory cards and games...

Speaking of which, anyone in Canada found accessories / games in stores ?

 

[Liquid_015]

The only thing that catches my attention is the screen protector and the PSV case: it reminds me of my very 1st PSP starter bundle xD

 

[Raine]

If it's the case and screen protector you're after, you'll save yourself about 10 bucks getting them separately (which is what I'm doing)

 

[Liquid_015]

If it's the case and screen protector you're after, you'll save yourself about 10 bucks getting them separately (which is what I'm doing)

Yeah I think that is probably wiser, just checked other merchandise regarding Vita and in terms of aggregate cost it is much less expensive.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Yes.

$349 First Edition Bundle - Includes 3G/WIFI Unit, 4GB Memory Card, Little Deviants, and Official Case. (2/15)

So you know, several US Gamestops are reporting that 1st editions will also get the 8gb cards too. Not that it's a lock but I've talked to 4 separate GS's and they've all said it.

 

[- J - D -]

Yeah I really like that pouch that comes with the starter kit. It's very similar to the PSP bundle.

 

[Liquid_015]

Plus, it's very minimalistic and there are hardly any case that has that functionality and look on Amazon

I think they're confused by Sony's announcement.

 

[outunderthestars]

Be nice, not everyone has spent a ton of time researching it all, and Sony certainly has not helped the matter at all.

 

[patsu]

Nah... I wouldn't believe them without any written proof.

Both bundles are great deal. Would be super disappointed if we don't get a 3G SKU at all.

This REALLY needs to be confirmed or debunked
already.
