why would you do that D:

the 3G could possibly pay off in the long run even if you don't use it. its one of those nice to have.

yeah that's why I went with the first edition bundle so unless they somehow really screw up when they announce the 3G details I will be getting a 3G version (the first edition bundle has the 3G Vita in America)

If you can't even multitask the web browser, what's the point of the 3G in the first place? You're not going to play multiplayer on it, that's for sure.
 
Confirmed or you're just assuming based on wifi only first edition bundle for Canada. Would be hilarious if Canada didn't get 3g yet Hong Kong did, with Hong Kong's being unlocked to boot.

I believe it has been confirmed that at launch Canada will not get the 3G model due to service providers.
 
What data will be stored in the momory cards? Is it only game saves, or do I have to take into account DLC and d/l PSN/Vita games too? Does the system have any internal storage at all?

Did you ask this question before am I getting an insane case of dejavu?

Anyways, memory cards will be used for music, videos, game saves, dlc and game downloads. Vita has 512MB of memory, but it is not user accessible, and I imagine is just for firmware updates, and keeping the OS running.

Some games will store its dlc and save datas in their own game cards. Others, like in PSP will store its DLC and saves in the memory cards, in the same one you can store music or video files.
Its internal memory is supposed to be for the OS only. So you wouldn't need to use space from your memory card to store the new, bigger firmware.
 
I'm dropping my First Edition pre-order and going for 3G + official Starter Kit.

The starter kit is $40 and comes with (msrp prices):

4GB card - $20
Travel Pouch - $20
Headphones - $20
Protective film - $10
Card case - $6
Cleaning cloth - $no price set

Just seems like the better value since I don't really want Little Deviants.
I can live another week.
 
Have two vitas (First Ed + wifi only) paid, and seven games on amazon, wonder when they will have accessories up.

Also hope they match those target gift cards.

I did the same thing, dropped the first edition bundle and went for the 3g model stand alone, 32gb card and the starter kit, I guess I can keep the 4gb for other random stuff.
 
D:

Oh crap Uncharted is $49.99 at Gamestop now. Waited too long to pre order. Guess I wait on buying the game.

Edit: Best Buy still has it for $39.99 on their web site! Ordered it there with store pickup!

I paid off an in store order but I'm sure they'll adjust the price up upon pickup. Ordered at bb to lock it in. Thanks.

Will they honor that price when you pick it up? Or will try try to charge me an extra $10?

Yup, this is also my final decision. The early access bundle includes a bulky case that I know I won't use and the started kit includes a very slim case that's akin the PSP-1000 case included at the launch.
 
Where can I see pictures of the different cases? I'm torn on the starter kit. I'll throw away the headphones and have about a hundred microfiber cloths at my house. I want the protective film and game case, but I'd prefer an 8 GB card. If the case is decent, I'll probably opt for the kit. Otherwise I'll buy an 8 GB card, the film & case separately, and then find a nice case elsewhere later on. Not like I'll be taking the thing out of the house anyway.

I need my first edition because I want Little Deviants and I'll have my Vita before Katsucon, lol.

Official Sony cases, and other accessories, are shown in these videos:

1) http://andriasang.com/comyyx/
2) http://andriasang.com/comz49/vita_accessory_video/

I think that the second video features the pouch that'll be included in the US starter kit, it's the very first item shown.
 
lol

Not trusting EB Games there. While LBP is worth $50, I'm not sure if it should launch at $50.

It also seems that it's not all the games that have multiple languages on the same card. I'm seeing a separate french version of Army Corps of Hell. Weird. All of their recent DS RPGs had both FR and ENG on the same cart. You only had to switch the language of your DS to switch the language.

I have no idea. At the very least I'd print out the invoice showing it is $39.99 when you bought it. Then they would have to honor the price.

Spoke to store manager today; all prices are subject to change. They couldn't even guarantee my memory card preorder price would drop...but they could guarantee that I'd owe them $10 more because of the price change of uncharted.
 
Thanks! I think I'll wait for a retailer that doesn't make my bile rise.

Still have no idea what case to pick... there are too many.

I feel you on that one, luckily the one near my house is low key on that part.
I kin da stop supporting mom and pop shops after dealing with their shenanigans for some years (8+)

It's either amazon,gamestop or best buy
 
I can't stop watching streams of people playing Vita, or reading news about it. Loved the PSP and so its successor is an instant buy for me.

I'm picking up:

First Edition PS Vita
Little Deviants (comes with system)
Uncharted
Army Corps of Hell
Shinobido 2
Escape Plan
32 Gig Memory Card

Like the post above, not sure which screen protector to get.

Its $49.99 now. Screw that. I'm not paying $50 for a handheld game.

Really? Terrible policy. I'll get ready to do battle at Best Buy when I pick up my game! My receipt shows I agreed to pay $39.99.
