No thats only for the people getting it early (I think)

Which kinda sucks really. We never got any kind of early adapter option. I'll be putting the bones of 500€ (Thank you GameStop 25% plus Christmas and birthday being so close, I can't tell the wife it's that much in total!) into this. Would be nice to get it a week early!!

yeah gamestops 25% has been amazing, a mate traded in his xbox 4 gb an 3ds with about 12 games in total and has every game preorderd with the console, all he has to pay is 30 quid

The video is for the US, the age rating on Little Deviants is a letter not a number.

Finally got to play the vita in game today. Its very light and very easy to hold its about as comfy or more comfy in the hands than the dualshock (its way easier to hold than the 3ds). The buttons are just the right size but they are smaller than the psp if your hands are big it could be an issue. The analogs are tiny about 1/2 the size of the duelshock but they work really well but it takes a while to adjust to using them as they feel different to consoe controllers.

The Os is very clean and is extremely snappy the multitasking is fantastic and it allows switching games as long as they are digital not sure if its as easy to switch between psyical games or not. The only downside to the hardware is the gameslot looks fiddlely dont even know how you open it lol.

I played Uncharted and Wipeout Wipeout was awesome and seemed very smooth even smoother than the ps3, the controls are great and the grapics are on the same level as ps3 really the only downside is the loading is about a full minute per track which feels like ages. Uncharted looked great although it was abit jaggy but not that bad, the controls work well but take getting used to.

I can't wait to get my own vita only a couple of days left ~.~

Do you have to pre order them early Vitas? Also would our 3G cards work.. $350 doesn't seem bad and my sister coming back on 22nd from America..

The pre-order early access was US only. Couldn't get it over here.

The Vita is unlocked and will work with any sim card. It comes packaged with a Vodafone sim card, and more importantly, a free copy of Wipeout!

cloud493 · 12-02-2012 10:38pm

Early adopters(that's the program) of The Vita were chosen I think. Don't think you'll get on it now.

probably, gonna try out the battery first though lol

cloud493 · 12-02-2012 10:55pm

Not bothering with the battery charger, gonna get a case though, looks like a scratch magnet

tonydude · 12-02-2012 11:04pm

Whats the story with vodafone and the 3g, must we sign up to a 12 month contract to get wipeout , or can we just get the 3g model and have access to it.

I'll probabaly get this or a similar third party one.But as far as I'm aware the release date for the official one you linked to,will not be the 22nd(launch day).You are probably looking at late March/April.This should give you time to test out the strenghts of the internal battery.

my understanding is you can activate the sim get the first month free then cancel the renewal , like a pay as you go broadband thing, but the vita is sim free

BArra · 13-02-2012 12:14am

what so all stores selling the 3g will have a copy of wipeout in the box?

Mizu_Ger · 13-02-2012 12:17am

Amazon France are doing the vita for €229.99 with an 8gb card for free.

See here (also offer €10 off Fifa and/or Virtua Tennis)

I've preordered this and with tax and shipping to Ireland total cost is €246.86. This looks like a good deal to me. Is there any downside to buying from France? I can't think of anything (delivery might take a few days).

You'll need to buy an adaptor for the plug

Currently there is a PSP game sale on the PS... SEN! I would be interested in picking up GTA VCS and LCS, but I was wondering if someone could confirm if they will work with both sticks of the Vita.

Yes, all PSN games will work on VITA. Even the free ones we got a while ago. Not all UMD games are on PSN and they are usually more expensive. PSN points etc will also work. Sony has unified all the services.

The loading is due to the speed (class) of the memory cards. They are class 4. In other words **** slow. I would recommend getting 8gb memory card with the Vita and waiting for a higher speed card which will inevitably come out come months after Feb 22nd. A third party is bound to produce one. The loading is really bad. As in minutes. I thought the one I ahd was broken it took so long!
