Protip: Fry's and Toys-R-Us are selling Vita memory cards for $5 cheaper than Gamestop, at least the 4gb and 8gb ones.

All stores are selling the 4GB and 8GB cheaper than GameStop not just Fry's and Toys R Us. GameStop is charging a $5 GameStop tax for those 2.

Amazon

Dragon's Crown(Vita & PS3) Couldn't resist the $29.99 each deal.

Still waiting for Gamestop to start taking preorders for Dungeon Hunter, Dynasty Warriors, Lumines, Ninja Gaiden, and Rayman Origins.

That sounds like quite an expensive pre-order. Most I have ever pre-ordered was my WoW Collectors Edition a while back, and before that FF 12

I'm interested to hear how some of those games actually play once they are available in the West. I've always loved the wipeout series, and I hear it is one of the better games on PSV atm (Besides Uncharted)

OT: I am not likely to pre-order one of these, at least not until I move overseas. Over here we get screwed over with 3G network plans. I know AT&T isn't much better, but it still beats going with Optus or Telstra

Oh wow I didn't update at all but I've had my Wi-Fi Vita paid off for a while along with a 32 gig memory card (the latter mostly credit). Also gonna go to GameStop today to pick up UMVC3 for 10-ish (got a free $25 gift card and a $5 coupon from PowerUp), maybe a case too. That's it for a while, that game and the demos available on PSN will keep me busy plenty. And I still need to finish up some 3DS games.

Well, me and my brother have $250, we could get 1 Vita and share it or get a PS3.......

So...?

You normally out?

I'd suggest a PS3 with an extra controller if possible. Sharing won't always turn out good.

 

[rockstar99]

That's what I'm leaning towards, will get a Vita sometime 2013 I guess then.

I won't be out that often apart from School ever so a PS3 seems better... just worried about Sony announcing something new because of the WiiU

I think the announcement will probably come about 1 - 2 years later.

 

[Arnold Schwarzen]

So UMVC3 was only available for those that reserved but all other Vita games are clearly in stock for everyone at my GameStop. Target the only other closest store, isn't selling games til the 22nd. Either gonna make 2 trips or just one and go digital. I got a 32 gig in my hands now but I want to reserve as much space for DLC, PSP games, and videos, some music.

 

[DigitalDeviant]

I haven't preordered(yet) but I just bought a crystal case for like 5 bucks with in the US, so I guess I will be getting it at or near launch lol.

I put $50 down on a wifi vita.

I'll probably switch to a 3g $299 bundle because it's a better deal though.

After accounting for the 8GB card ($30) and psn game ($10) there is only $10 of the extra $50 to make up.

The GPS functionality of the 3g unit should help close the final $10 gap I think. The 3g AT&T service is worthless to me, but it should up the resale value of the system.

I'm confused, how is it a better deal?

I edited that post with an explanation.

I would like to add also that the 3g is a good investment because you never know what future features Sony (or hackers) may implement with it in the future.

i just walked in to my local fry's store and bought it

Meh I'll wait for the price to go down before considering getting the 3G version, I've preordered the wifi version from gamestop, gonna pick it up on wednesday.

 

[zanfire]

i got the 3g one for 248$ off that [censored] site and uncharted for 35$ so im pretty satisfied. got uncharted yesterday in the mail, which is sad....because now i have to stare at it for another 4-5 days until the system is here. I would have completely ignored the 3g one, but the 8gb memory stick comes with it, which i was going to get anyways...and paying 2$ less then the wifi version(no tax or shipping) made it doubley-sweet.

and like others have said, who knows what having the 3g for the future might do. Its crap now, but it might find its use sooner or later.
