New Playstation Vita Bundle

[Guild McCommunist]

Remember you can have a 3G version without using the 3G. It's just a WiFi model with GPS then.

But for $300 you get the Vita and a game of your choice, with a memory card that's an amazing deal.

Then when the game takes up 40% of the memory card...

You start buying physical media and you still probably have at least 4GB for save data and other stuff. Or delete the game when you're done with it, you can always redownload it again if you want.

Still, just getting the bundle and choosing, say, Uncharted: GA as your game already covers your costs, getting a memory card and crap is a pretty good deal. Why are people complaining?

You don't get a retail game. You get a game available on PSN.

...I know. But he said what would you do with 40% of your memory card used by a game and I said to buy retail games after that so you don't take up space on your card.

I'd prefer the Wifi version. I wonder if this is to secure pre orders.. the game in town lowered the pre order price from £25 to £10. No one was biting?

They did the same here, from €30 to €10.

We've also got a demo pod 3 days ago or so, but there is no Uncharted demo, just some Uncharted promotion stand, hehe.
But the PSVita is really slow IMO, and feels awkard in gameplay.

There also aren't any Track Pad games on it. :/

Anyhow, I will just stick with the 3DS.

Alert, commander! There is desperation in the ranks!

8 GB card is good for the average player but for myself 16 GB is mandatory and 32 GB is preferred since I'll be doing 50% retail and 50% PSN download. You need at least 16 GB of memory if you plan to do more than 10% of your game purchases from the PSN and you DLC lovers will need a 16GB or 32 GB as well.

Here's my idea of a bundle, which would never happen. EVER.

PS Vita Value Bundle:

• PS Vita wrapped in some bubble wrap with a 4gb memory card pre-installed.

£160

Whenever I'm able to purchase a PS Vita for sub £100, that's when I get one.

Well 5 years from now, at least it'll have a lot of games when you get it.
Assuming you get the oldest model, anyway.

I'm fine with that and yes the library shall be huge hopefully.

The deal in the OP is fucking fantastic in all honesty.

I'll probably be looking to pick up a Vita when the Ys: Celcetta of Seas comes out.

 

[machomuu]

It is quite the deal, but even still, I'm waiting 'till Persona 4: The Golden is released.

 

[emigre]

I'll pick up Persona 4 but to be honest I wouldn't regard it as being my personal system seller. I don't want to play games I've already played. But developers like their easy cash.

Too true, and no easier way to do it than with ports, even if they do add things, It takes minimal effort.

That's not exactly how it works, from what i've read from the terms of the bundle it goes something like this. You buy the vita, you sign up with att for 3g for a month, then when that month is over and you renew your plan, you then get the voucher for the psn game(It's not clear whether its a psn credit voucher and you choose how to spend it or a game of their choice). So this bundle is only good if you already planned on getting the 3G model because you are forced to get a 3g plan if you want the psn game.

They give you a code to redeem to activate the free 3G for a month.

Not complaining, I just think they're memory card pricing system is a joke, they're gouging out the ass per GB.

All in all, I will be buying the Vita, just not at launch.

I wonder how long it'll be before some Chinese manufacturer makes a memory card adapter that lets you put MicroSD cards in it.
