    Just making a quick buck really as I don't think eBay fees apply to postage, just the bid, but he would have to get a bid up to around 50 or 60 to break even.

    Dunno, seems pretty sneaky, but I don't use ebay all that much so it might be common enough practice. I could see someone bidding 50 or 60 euro and not realising they have to pay 250 on top of it. 250 is more than it would cost to just buy brand new in a shop on launch day.

    Still seems like a pretty sh*tty thing to do. Like those asses who sell just the boxes for consoles and all that.

    Should do. They have one in Linerick store anyway. Best to give them a ring first though.

    Sales of the device in Japan are very misleading and besides; if we all waited for a price drop, there wouldn't be a price drop- there won't be a device.

    If you feel the product is worth the money, then buy it. Otherwise wait for your price drop. Sony are selling the device at a loss and thus it's not really fair to compare a compact to a saloon.

    Think it's any game but FIFA and unchatered are both €50 so that's where u would get the best savings, I'm getting FIFA with it as I will be able to pick up unchartered in smyths for just over €40 with my smyths loyalty card

    Wondering where to get it from now.

    Wanted a 32gb card but they'll probably drop in price in time and other than throwing every ps one and psp game i have on it there's no point yet. buy a 8GB card now and the biggest i can find in a few months.

    Thinking of getting the wifi + 8gb card deal off amazon for €260 and getting Dungeon hunter for £15 with it. Can get UC later in a shop or may got for PSN as there's meant to be some additional discount for the first month or 2 on top of the lower PSN price.

    Also would like 8GB of ram and maybe a flight stick.

    PM if you have money you would give me.

    No good ever comes of pre-ordering early and pre-ordering at all can be a mistake.

    A site I would use regularly has some great prices on Vita games. They are Region 1 titles but the system is region free.

    http://www.planetaxel.com

    Most games are under 35€. Be very interesting to see if this pricing is in stores as 35€ for a portable top tier game is a hell of a lot more attractive that 50€

    It's really not that much better than the GameStop deal which is 330 for any game and a 16gb card. It is a very good deal though, but worked out better for me as I traded in about 240e worth of games and now have 320e to spend due to their 25% extra free!

    Vita wifi - 8gb mc - Rayman = €285 on Amazon.co.uk
    Vita wifi - 8gb mc - Rayman = €382 on Play.com(with pre-order pack)

    So the pre-order pack you get off play comes to €97:rolleyes:
