Going DD only, except bargains.
DD bargains only for me. PS+ and price drop on normal DD games. Lets see how long I'll be able to be without any game

Yeah totally agree and exactly what i said to Amazon CS!!
Here's hoping they do actually dispatch Prime Orders tomorrow and mess thing up.
Shit, this is tempting. Go US account for DD and online games, UK physical for more single player games that might get traded in (and realising online pass doesn't work). US has better selection of PSP games too I think? You have ridge racer at least
Plus my main PS3 account is US

And using a PS3? Is it also easy?

We are so so sooo close! 
Ill be picking mine up from work tomorrow night at Walmart, hope they have 16gb cards. My copy of Touch my Katamari also shipped from Lockerz that I got for $22 shipped. Don't understand how they can sell their stuff so cheap but whatever, Ill be using them in the future for certain stuff now.

Buying US PSN cards from a Gaffer and will only pay ~25 for a 35 PSN game. 25 for a new release sounds good to me.

Thanks. That's what I figured, but just wanted to be sure. A couple of transactions is no big deal at all.

I'm a crazy person.
I cancelled my preorder yesterday thinking I may want to save my money.
Then I realised how much I would get payed next Tuesday.
So I've preordered it again earlier today.
Getting Wi-Fi only Vita with 8GB memory stick and Wipeout 2048 and Lumines.
I'm wondering if it will come by Wednesday. It says two business days, so I'm not so sure about getting it Wednesday.
Edit: It's Amazon UK BTW. Also they've updated it saying it will dispatch tomorrow and deliver Thursday. Is there ANY chance of getting it Wednesday. I would think it's possible since it will dispatch tomorrow.

I'm going physical only for most games, let's be honest, the prices on the SEN store may be discounted at launch but retail prices are gonna drop much further and sooner than they ever will on the store
Plus, the blue boxes are too cute!
I'll be doing DD for non-retail products and PSP titles though, of course

I'll be doing DD for retail titles I don't plan to trade and PSN/PSP titles. The rest I'll buy a card for. Don't see why it has to be one way or the other at all.
No plans of reselling and the game cards are too small. Also Steam showed me the beauty of having all games available immediately without swapping discs/cards. And buying it off the US PSN will be almost always cheaper than buying the games as card in Germany.
Retro City Rampage announced for Vita/PS3!
You have got to watch the trailer, it looks awesome.

I wonder if it's a full release w/trophies or a minis release. Either way, can't wait.
Oh wow that's cool!
Now I need me some Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden on there!
I suppose it depends on how lightly you are pressing them. I certainly never felt as if I needed to apply any sort of additional pressure. A light, normal tap was enough to activate it. If I carefully apply a very light pressure (unnaturally) it will not trigger, but it hasn't cropped up as an issue at all.
Here are your Prime orders right here:
Wow that's terrible, I don't know in other countries but at least here you have to sign a deposit slip.
It was a monitor. That was all over the place when it happened and Fedex apologized for it.
In fact, GameStop should take advantage of Near to lure Vita gamers to their outlets !

No, nor for Europe
It's listed as a release on the NZ/AUS PS Site for the 23rd (in 3 days) over PSN, but that's probably a placeholder that's not been pushed back
All we know is 'not for launch' but soon, rumblings of may
I pre-ordered mine from Amazon UK & mine hasnt shipped yet.
Im asumming mine will get here by wednesday, although mine still says expected delivery date is 22 Feb
Looks like it, yeah.
I once was sitting in my house when I watched a UPS guy HURL a cable modem at my door with such force it destroyed the box.
Thankfully, most places now are hip to this, and overpack their stuff. I ordered a 42" TV from B&H Photo Video, and they actually double boxed it with peanuts all around. Left a giant mess unpacking it, but 5 years later the TV is still working just fine.
According to Target, the B2G1 deal works online too. My friend emailed them and they said itll apply during checkout and, if it doesnt, send them an email with the order number and theyll apply it for you.
They still dont have a lot of the games listed. I was hoping to snag Blazblue, Rayman, and Uncharted but they dont have Rayman listed yet.
So I bit...
Traded in 17 games to amazon for vita credit. Nearly drained my pitiful wii and ds collection, and got rid of a couple of ps3 games. I actually could have gotten more for one item I had (metroid prime trilogy in great condition) but I didn't want to go through the trouble of trying to make a profit of it, I just want my vita now. Planning to buy gravity daze. Happy early vita day all!

Very easy if you have a PS3 - I've transfered saves for Prinny and MGS
W without a problem that way... I haven't tried it via PC yet...So you've met my first wife?...yeah, I like overly sexual animated women in skintight catsuits. Sue me.
By the time she was through with me, there was no point in a law suit, believe me...
FedEx dropped my ps3 slim. Didn't even knock, just heard a loud thud behind the door.
It's worth noting too that NZ/AUS/EU will not be getting the retail version so it could be a possibility that they are testing the waters and we get it launch day.
And it's two days, NZ is a day ahead (It's Tues 21st 7am right now)

Most of the time you either bring a copy of the ad to the customer service/returns desk -which is much easier on you and the CSR- or have them call the competing store to confirm the discount. I do it all the time so I can still rack up rewards points.
Ubisoft, Sony and some others are discounting.
Sega and EA haven't discounted any digital games so far.

Yeah, I thought maybe, but then why would they not release it for other EU areas, which are also DD only? Just seems a bit off
I would LOVE to be able to get Gravity Rush in 2 days though
You could just look at the store and find out, but yes, Rayman is on the store right now for $35.99. 10% off was confirmed late last month.
(spanish retailer). Very excited ^^, tomorrow at home.Yes. A great pickup if you don't have the console version. Looks and plays incredibly.
Yes it is. Absolutely amazing platformer on any system.
Even if you're played it before, having it on a portable system is pretty awesome and it looks just incredible on the Vita's screen.
VariantX04
Loser slave of the system :(
Yeah.
I have the console version and played through it on co-op already. If I hadn't though, I would have probably gotten the Vita version already, sans co-op and all.
Hope you enjoy it.

Hmm, was going to order online mainly for selection but didn't see any buy 2 get 1 markings anywhere. Might just order and hope they honor.
