I noticed that they only sell the wifi-only model here in Canada at all retail stores. I only see the Wifi+3G version in the US, does the 3G only work with AT&T?

I believe some retailers got sacred that the 3G version won't sell very well and withdrew from selling it.

Here in Canada, neither Best Buy, Future Shop, EB Games or The Source said they carry 3G version. Even on their websites, seems like only US?

Well, from what I've read so-far, the North American edition is locked on AT&T, so that might be the reason, but I have no idea if they also meant Canada.

My advice is that if you don't want AT&T, get a European Vita - they're SIM-Unlocked. I'm not quite sure if Canada works on CDMA networks or GSM networks, if it's GSM then look no further and Import.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, it's 3G so it should be UMTS or CDMA2000, right?

    1080p actually has a huge problem
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you can't properly scale 240p games
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    720, 1440 and 2160 can scale them just fine
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    huh. never realized that
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    the only common low-res (which is not even that common in games) you can properly scale to 1080 is 360, but even that can also scale to 720
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    when I'm playing emulators I just stick to 720, if I had a 1440p or 4k screen I would prefer those over 1080p
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My monitor is 1440p now after years upon years of using 1080p. I don't notice much of a difference except that it makes everything smaller and harder for me to read
