I don't understand how that deal works. Pay £279 and get the console free

RobbingBandit

Sorry I should state this is the point I am interested in.

@1 The WipEout offer can be used no matter where you buy your 3G PS Vita from. Just use the 3G Vodafone SIM and top it up with £5 and Vodafone will text you a code for the game."

RobbingBandit

Seems to me they are saying if you top up the Vodafone 3G sim with £5 you get Wipeout free no matter where you buy your Vita.

DARK-KNIGHT

is that for real? you get the game for free once you top up a 3g unit??

i may now get a 3g confusing now

That is my question as it only states UK on the PSN Link, I am wondering will Vodafone Ireland offer this also or am I going up to Newry to buy some UK PSN cards and a Vodafone UK Microsim instead.

I'm in England on the 25th anyway

My question is, do u need a 3G vita to topup or could u do it online perhaps and still get your wipeout code, in other words could I buy a wifi vita and still find a loophole to get wipeout for £5???

Don't see that being possible as the top up is for the 3G, it would be great if there is a way to do it as it would save €50 for those who don't want the 3G one.

Vodafone are the prefered network alright, but who is to say if Vodafone Ireland will have the same deal as Vodafone UK, I will post the link on the talk to Vodafone Thread and see if anyone there can get an answer.

DARK-KNIGHT

how much is wipeout gonna retail at?

RobbingBandit

€39.99 in Smyths, €37.97 on Gamestop.ie so €45 in store.

Lord Spence

Don't forget smyths give 10% off all software on its first week
Of sale, they have unchartered listed as 45euro so with loyalty card that works out at €40.50 , GameStop are charging €50

Don't know if vodafone will be putting out a special data plan for the vita here, if it's as much as a rip-off as the uk tariff (£5 for 250mb a month) you're going to want a better deal. The vita isn't sim locked so any network should work.

If Vodafone are doing the Wipeout 2048 deal here, just use them for the first month then switch to a better deal, here's the current data plans for the 5 networks, tesco have the best value.

tesco - 1gb for €7 a month
meteor - 500mb for €5 a month or 1gb for €10 a month
emobile - 500mb for €5 a month or 1gb for €10 a month
vodafone - 1gb for €10 a month
o2 - 700mb for €10 a month

No vodafone have an exclusive deal with sony

DARK-KNIGHT

tbh 99 percent of time i wouldnt use the 3g function but its attractive for when im in wex during the summer with **** all to do in a mobile etc...

might just get the 3g and buy credit WHEN i need it

Can you not just connect the Wifi to your mobile phone ?

DARK-KNIGHT

Dunno I have an iPhone 4s unlimited web use if I cann connect to that 3G is a no brainer!!


Anyone else think Sony ****ed up with this launch?? No info and a massive price tag really pissed now 12 days away and still know feck all bout console games deals etc and you would think Sony would be pushing to consumers more what exactly this console can do!!

It's like they are sitting on their laurels saying you will buy it anyways minions mwahahaha

Tesco have the best value.by the looks of it

Lord Spence

Just noticed this on littlewoods website wifi model €299 but then if that wasn't bad enough have the cheek to state that your saving €90 as the price is reduced from €390 for the wifi model!!! There a disgrace and a complete rip off, gangsters I tell ya gangsters

Littlewoods are always over priced :P I was looking for a new PS3 last year, they were trying to sell 160gb's for 350! :eek:

Its not a massive price tag considering people expected it to be a lot more before the price was announced.

cloud493

They have told us what it can do, you can go to Game and play it!

Lord Spence

I think the problem cloud is that Sony don't seem to be pushing very hard, I haven seen one ad for the vita on tv or in print. We seem to be the ones asking about the bundle deals and we shouldt have to ask it should be shouted from the hilltops from each individual store. For instance still no offical word from smyths,hmv, Vodafone stores in Ireland, xtra vision regarding bundle deals and all with less then 2 weeks to go.
