Preordered my First Edition bundle on Amazon, hopefully I can use it at home without having I get a 3G plan.

I doubt a 3G plan is needed to play it. Its a shame that Amazon does not have release day delivery on this bundle. Estimated delivery time on one day delivery is on the 17th.

I preordered the first edition bundle and completely paid it off already. I also preordered Uncharted, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, ModNation Racers, Resistance, and Touch My Katamari. I want to preorder Gravity Rush, but I'm waiting for an official release date first.

Nice, I haven't found a single launch title I want but maybe a game I have falls in the UMD passport.

I preordered, but I refunded the funds back. I was sorta in need of cash, and since paying only affirms the stock...

Anyway, preordering only gives you a better price at our store.

Preordered it yesterday, only $50 though. I plan on putting more on it and a game gradually over time until it comes out. I'd preorder memory cards too, but Gamestop says they won't be taking preorders for them.

Pre-ordered the WiFi version. Probably getting Golden Abyss with it.

from what i have been reading

the 3g version is the preferred version. see this
also
the 3g version, also has GPS
the wifi will NOT have GPS (but should have something like it using wifi)

so why the a full Featured version


They both have the same GPS app but the WiFi version only updates when it's connected to an access point. In my case, I can use my phone as a mobile hotspot via 4G.

You can preorder the memory cards online with Gamestop. Also Gamestop takes preorders for everything in their stores. It's probably the memory cards aren't in their system yet in store so the employees don't know anything about it.

Lilsypha mentioned last night that she got a full paid preorder for one as a gift for Christmas. Just thought I'd fill in for her here :3

Oh they do, but they still won't take pre-orders for mem cards, and according to the manager, "likely never will".

It doesn't matter though, I got enough extra money from christmas to ramp up my pre-order to a First Edition :D

Gamestop is now taking preorders for memory cards in store I asked today while I was in there. However, they still haven't dropped the prices and are still selling at $10-$20 over MSRP.

I have paid off my preorder for:

PS Vita First Edition Wifi bundle (because Canada won't have the 3G model available at launch)
Gravity Rush

I'm hoping to preorder Golden Abyss here in the next couple of weeks. I'll also be buying The Escape Plan when it's out on The PSN

I shall wait at least two years after the Vita's release.
I made a mistake with the 3DS, and I don't want to make the same one with the Vita.
I may never actually even get one :/

You are preordered it too quickly. You need to think twice! For me, I wont buy 3DS and PSVita for about 2 years from now. Why ? Two wise decisions: Dont waste your money since we have plenty games such as PS3, DS, Wii to focus and good games arent enough for 3DS and PSVita... at least not for me. Give it more time. Now, its wise thinking! :)

Couldn't agree more with both of these posts! I'll wait too for these reasons, but also because the first batch of consoles/handhelds usually have some kind of problem. I'd rather wait until those errors are ironed out, or perhaps a revision is already announced. It's only a matter of time before the 3DS Lite is announced, and the PSV won't be that far behind.

My uncle bought one from Japan for me. It was pretty good. The screen isn't as amazing as I thought it would be, but Uncharted GA looks... super.

Some minor launch glitches were there. It's natural for a console at launch. I did notice that the screen sometimes is not really responsive, still not a huge issue.
