Just had a bit of a moan to Amazon customer service considering no Prime orders will be shipped till tomorrow. While play.com and Amazon non prime members have been shipped today 1st class. Seems a bit unfair and defeats the purpose of being a Prime member!

humph!!

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.
 
None yet, but I can already tell you with 98% certainty that they will be ridiculous. EU game pricing is just completely out of whack.

Go US account.

Edit: I missed the DD only. Prices for those titles usually isn't as bad comparatively as it is for full games.

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
 
Here are your Prime orders right here:

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.

Thats what I am doing too. 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.
 
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.
 
Anyone else going fully DD or are most getting physical copies for games too? I got a 32gb card so why not right?

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
 
Looks like Ridge Racer isn't delayed for the PAL market after all. Just got this confirmation email a few hours ago while I was at work.

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.
 
When I press down the shoulder buttons lightly, they don't register, especially the right one. I have to press down a bit harder than what it takes to depress the triggers to get them to register.
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.
 
Just got off the phone with GameStop, they're not doing a midnight launch at any of the locations in my area. Not enough preorders, she said. Could be BS, I don't know.

NM, called another store, and they are doing one.

In fact, GameStop should take advantage of Near to lure Vita gamers to their outlets !
 
So, is anywhere actually doing a proper B2G1 Free deal? Targets sound stupid, and there's none nearby me. Is Best Buy price matching? How do you get them to do that?
 
So gravity rush/daze doesn't have a release date for the US at the moment?

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
 
^^What is that, a monitor/VDU?

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!
 
BTW, I've been playing Persona 3 Portable on my PSP and am about half way through the story. Since I'd like to continue on the Vita, how easy is it to transfer PSP saves to it?
Very easy if you have a PS3 - I've transfered saves for Prinny and MGS:PW without a problem that way... I haven't tried it via PC yet...

...yeah, I like overly sexual animated women in skintight catsuits. Sue me. :P
So you've met my first wife?
By the time she was through with me, there was no point in a law suit, believe me... :P

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.

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
 
So what's the deal with the FREE Hustle Kings if you already own the PSN version? I'm not seeing the Vita game on PSN yet. Is that a whenever Grace feels up to it thing?
 
I want to pick it up, but there's soo much other games that interest me. lol

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.

Cool. Futureshop filled my pick-up order on it. I can trade one game and get it for free. The demo seemed good as well.

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.
