Why only the 3G model bundle for America? I want the wifi model and would rather not spend an extra $50 for a feature I have no intention of ever using. An extra $50 for a game, 4GB memory stick, and case isn't bad at all though. If they hadn't fucked up this bundle, or if they had least offered more than one lousy option, I would be all over it.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see it come to America.

Worse comes to worse, I'd just import it from Canada.

Wouldn't importing cost the same, if not more than the 3G bundle? Lol

I don't know honestly, it's only Canada. Worse comes to worse (again), I can just wait a week and buy a WiFi model, a memory card, and maybe a game or something for $320. I'm tempted, if cash isn't flowing, to just buy the Vita, memory card, and a PSP game that could really use dual analog controls (like Monster Hunter or something) and play that.

I'm not sure if about "officially" but I thought I saw like 3DS game bundles (3DS + SSFIV for example) on Gamestop. Might've been shortly after launch though. But I'm sure there's been bundles at launch for other consoles. Considering Xbox's, for example, need a hard drive (I think the internal memory was added later), that's technically a "bundle" if it has one.

You can get 5GB or even 10 GB on prepaid for that much or $10 more

That's stupid.

"Get the chance to buy the PS Vita a full week before the official release date!"

A week before my ass, if Sony themselves are making this promotion, then I can assume that's official.


(But it's a great idea.)
And the PSV does look a lot better in that picture.

I'm not gonna change my current preorder for this, I don't want another 3g contract and I'm not that worried about playing it a whole week earlier than others. It sure is a great deal tho for the ones that want 3g and wifi.

349.99 is too much, Little Deviants looks crappy. Plus I don't want the 3G that much, the memory card I need. And I don't mind the case but that's really it. So I'll probably buy separately.

Still not interested in PS Vita sadly, the only game I vaguely would be interested in would be Uncharted and even then I might as well get a PS3 and just get the main ones on a cheaper console with a much better line of exclusives.

I was the same with PSP but after a few years it became an essential purchase with a lot of games that were ironically ones the DS could do.
DS couldn't. If it could, they would be released on DS instead. (of course, they could make a crappier graphics version to run on it)

Meh, i'd love to get the bundle, but due to my schedule (And UPS being fail here), i think i'll wait to see if Gamestop or another retailer gets it.

I'd probally have to skip class for fear of not receiving it or something

Also hate the fact its only the 3G model =/. Not an AT and T customer, nor do i plan to become one.

I think he means games like Lumines, Loco Roco, Patapon, Exit, things like that. DS could run them.

I wished they had bundled a better game like Uncharted or something other than Little Deviants though. That would have been kick ass

Of course it could... with crappier graphics and sound. N+ was released on DS too. I've played only the PSP version, for better screen.

Every game released on DS and PSP at same time, I would only play the DS version if it offered something unique (touch controls and microphone, for example). But, in the end, it doesn't matter, as DS has the best library of the two overall, I ended playing more DS than PSP.
