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

UK GAF

PS Vita WiFi
Need For Speed Most Wanted (PSN download)
4 GB memory card

£154.99 @ Gamestop UK today only

Keeps going in and out of stock apparently so check often if you want it.

Go go go

I know of 11 people that bought this personally amongst friends and family. They were always interested but couldn't justify the price. They jumped on this though.

They all also traded in the 4Gb card and plan on selling the NFS code
 
I would've preferred a Black Vita myself, but I couldn't pass on this amazing deal!
I've been randomly picking up Vita accessories on clearance (AC Adapter @ Goodwill for $3.99 & a carrying case @ Target for $5.98) knowing I'd get a Vita eventually, haha.

I'm disappointed to hear ACIII doesn't come in a standard case.... :(
Especially since it's pictured as such on the Vita bundle's box.
I guess I'll just pick up a replacement case down the line and print out some box art later on. :S

In terms of Vita exclusives (IE: games not also available on PS3), what are everyone's favorites/recommendations?

I'm looking forward to playing:
ACIII: Liberation
EDF 2017 Portable
Gravity Rush
Katamari
Uncharted

Why would you sell the memory card? Just going to have to buy one again anyway, lol.
 
Wow, when I bought it yesterday my Prime 2-day shipping wasn't going to get it to me until Wednesday next week - and I'm a patient man, so I decided not to pay extra for Saturday or one-day delivery. The bundle is scheduled to be delivered today now! As much as I dislike the USPS, every time Amazon sends me something using them, it winds up arriving early.

I thought I had 5 days to download the Vita Plus games onto my PS3, but now I better get it going right now. That's like 8 gigs of stuff, no?
 
Ahh i see.

I wouldn't sell NFs though D: Great game. Brilliant on Vita. Their choice though.

None of them said why, but it's pretty easy to guess. Some of them don't play racers, and the rest would prefer the PS3 version. I'm probably in the same boat, but the only racer I play is Gran Turismo
 
Can't wait to start messing with this later today!

I think one of the first games I'm gonna start playing is actually The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. I've heard so many good things about it.
 
Nice! Just got my package from Amazon. Dat next day shipping is faaast.

As expected, just the PSVita bundle box with one piece of bubble wrap. Hopefully the email codes come soon!
 
New Vita owners make sure you get either UMC3 or SFxT, both fighters are great ports. Also Virtua Tennis is one of my most played games on Vita.
 
Does anyone recommend those Vita hand grip things? I've found my Vita a little awkward to hold and I'm wondering if this would help.

Make sure you guys get Playstation all stars. especially if you have a ps3 too. looks amazing on the vita. 60fps + native res.
probably my favourite vita game right now.

EDIT: lol. included in the bundle- all the better :D

Game doesn't really interest me at all. Will be selling my code to pick up Hot Shots Golf.

I like Unit 13. I'm stuck on a HVT mission right now but I think the game is very fun.
 
does AC:Lib come in it's own box inside the bundle, would help the resale value? tried AC 1 or 2 for 30 minutes and wasn't a big fan. don't have hopes for it.

I forgot about Virtua Tennis!!

I bought one of these bundles due to this thread, so I feel like I should post. I'm not too confident in the Vita, to be honest. I really hated the PSP and regretted buying it, but PS+ for Vita convinced me to give this a chance. My plan for the moment is not to buy any games for this thing at all, and just play what comes up on PS+, downloading them one at a time on that 4GB card. Hope I'm not disappointed.

Even if you end up not using the system after the PS+ expires you can still sell it for at least what you paid for it. I want the Vita and stoked I have it but I won't hesitate to sell it if it starts going unplayed.

Lumines
Everybody's golf

Everybody's Golf is coming to PS3
 
My Vita shipped and it'll be here on Monday. Unfortunately, even though I can blow off law finals, it's not the best time to dive into Persona 4. The second I'm done, though... oh man.

The list of games for me to dive into then is:

Persona 4 Golden
Gravity Rush
Lumines: Electronic Symphony
Virtue's Last Reward
DJ Max (assuming it's out)
Dokuro
Malicious Rebirth (if it's worth buying over the PS3 version)

So I guess that's a pretty decent start.

I told TheSeks I'd give him my copy of Ass Creed, so I suppose I'd better own up to that now.
 
Why are you nervous? Did you pay for Saturday delivery?

I bought one before the sale started, but was still priced at $179. Some people were saying you could only get the extras if you ordered after it started so I cancelled and reordered it. I know it's their busiest time of year, but I'm worried cancelling it and reordering messed it up. :(
 
So...

UPS lost my package. Awesome job UPS.

They in fact claim they delivered it this morning and says I wasn't home. (I was) There is also no note on my door.

Also the tracking says it was attempted to be delivered to the airport...


Had to call them and they said they are going to call me in the next hour and see if they can get the driver to deliver it again this morning.

If you have large hands like myself, I recommend against the trigger grips and suggest the hori grips. They are plastic"ier", but they have adjustable handles/grips. Night and day for me at least. I do own both for this opinion and prefer/use the nori since I bought them exclusively.

That's what brown can do for you.

I second this, the hori grips don't look great but they're adjustable and very comfortable.
 
Just redownloaded FF VII, FF Tactics, Vagrant Story, Xenogears and SotN onto my Vita. Now browsing the wallpaper thread to mix things up. This thing is awesome!

Wallpaper thread? Nice!

yo! how did amazon package it? foam envelop or brown box?

Brown box with two big pieces of bubble wrap. Box wasn't that large, not much bigger than the Vita box itself. ACIII: Liberation indeed did not have its own box but was in a plastic thing along with the 4GB memory card (which we already knew was the case).
 
G55VW. Core i7 and nvidia geforce gtx 660m. I love it! Only complaint is some sound issues but they've mostly gone away with some tinkering.

Same here, love the machine. Did you download the latest sound drivers, they help quite a bit. Laptop may get a little break when the Vita and Persona 4 arrive. GW2 has been giving it a workout lately.
