PS Vita 3G downloads limited to 20 MB initially

[prowler]

Well, I do have a 3G plan on my cellphone, and I have 3GBs per month.

Too bad I can't use them on the Vita.

You can probably tether the connection onto your PSV. That's what I'm gonna do if I ever needed some use for it.

Tethering is usually banned on most service providers, you need to pay extra or risk it.

For rooted android phones?

I pass on the connection to my 3DS sometimes.

I don't get you're getting at, if you think rooting an Android phone means your provider hasn't a clue you're tethering then lol.

They would have a system that alerts them for big/strange downloads then they would check logs, so say if you're tethering to a Windows computer, you ain't going to have an Android phone checking Windows Update.

I'm allowed to share the conection to my PC, they even mention I can use the connection to browse the internet on my PC by linking my phone to it. That's what one of the staff said anyway.

Okay, that's you.
I'm also talking about other people who are on providers that ban it.

Thanks a lot AT&T!!!!!!!

 

[thedicemaster]

people really intended to download 500MB-2GB games using 3G?
a lot of providers cut you off for the remainder of the month if you download that much in less than a month, let alone a single file download.

 

[Maedhros]

Makes no difference, only dumb people download over 3G.

 

[GameWinner]

Still debating if I should give a rat's *** about the 3G version. Just an extra $50 bucks for one added feature.. and At&t...

It's times like this that make me glad that sprint has an unlimited data plan.

I couldn't careless about the 3G version.I still don't get what the 3G function is for, I mean is it enough for online play?

 

[sihou1]

wow, that sux, i was gonna buy a vita, but now, screw it. but is wifi limited speed?

 

[FireGrey]

I don't even think this will be enough for playing games against people online a lot and updating your system

You're reading it wrong.

You can only download 20MB files off PSN, updates (I think Sony said about updates being less crappy than PS3 & PSP since you have to download the whole firmware each time), playing online, talking to friends, Twitter/Facebook is still unlimited until your time runs out.

But why would you want to play online with 3G anyway?

Say, this may seem off-topic but can we download vita games directly from PSN. The tax in importing games here are unholy.

have fun with that you will be paying more than retail value, have you see how much sony charges for ps3 games on the ps store?

Sony also said they are aware of this but really, it's more up to the publishers than anything so you can't blame Sony that much.

Considering he would be saving on importing the game, I'd say it would be a viable method.

Playing online during my 1 hour commute?

Unless you can afford unlimited 3G (if such a thing even exists

), not many people are going to be using it for gaming, I'd suppose. I reckon most people use 3G for very simple games (like the casual games on smartphones) or for social networking/browsing.
