its the online pass for the game - you need it to access the multiplayer

if you buy the game you'll get the pass included as far as i know.

Isn't it just for second hand versions? I mean the retail version gives you a code.

I already posted that :rolleyes:

If you ask them nicely, Game might put your deposit onto a gift card, or take it off a Game you want.

Sorry I missed that.

Will have to see what I'll do. Not 100% sure about trading in my 3DS yet, but if I do decide to do that, I guess I'll have to go groveling to GAME about my deposit because there is no way I'd let it go for 95 when Gamestop two doors down are giving 150. Would not relish negotiating with GAME about it, they were already borderline refusing to switch my 8GB card preorder to a 16GB preorder, with just the vague suggestion that they 'might' be able to put the €2 deposit on the former against the 16GB on release day.

hi
i will be going to America in march, considering buying ps vita from over there..
is there any difference between the EU and US versions? would the 3G version work over here in ireland? also i am guessing the games over here would work on it since they are region-free?

thanks

No difference between them.

The Vita is SIM free so you can use an Irish SIM in it no problem

Yes, the games are region free too.

  Escape Plan (£9.99/€12.99)

That'll do me. Still hope the voucher is worth about 6.50 as opposed to just 5.00, otherwise UK customers are getting a better deal.

• Hustle Kings (Psn Only) (£6.49/€7.99)

Quite tempted by this. I like pool/snooker games, but wouldn't really sit in front of the TV playing one, but could definitely see this suiting portable gaming.

• Motorstorm RC (Psn Only) (£4.79/€5.99)

Bargain! Reminds me a little of championship sprint without the endlessly spinning steering wheels. (Reference for the dino gamers here)

• Super Stardust™ Delta (PSN Only) (£6.49/€7.99)

Super Stardust Delta & DLC Bundle (£7.99/€9.99)

Can somebody tell me why I should buy this? I'm intrigued but uncertain as to whether it would be my thing. If I think 'twin stick shooter' I think of Smash TV, but having seen a few vids of this on Youtube, I can't really follow the gameplay sufficiently to know whether it would be worth a purchase. Also, what's in the DLC, those in the know?

• 
  
  Plants Vs Zombies (Soe) (£8.99/€11.25)

F*** me! 11.25?! How much is this on iOS? If Sony want to compete with rival handhelds, they can't release ports at inflated prices

Finally found GAME's trade-in deals for Ireland.

Very poor compared to both Gamestop and to GAME's own UK deals.

Basically, you'll get €95 for a 3DS.

Gamestop are offering €150 against a Vita for a 3DS + game.

GAME in the UK are offering £130 (~€155) for a 3DS against a Vita.

What's up with the discrepancy?

My preorder is with GAME, but if I went to Gamestop with my 3DS I'd still be saving money even if I forfeited by €30 deposit at GAME!

Is there any way to get my deposit back? Exchange it against something else? Buy the Vita and then sell it back at a €10 loss?

Dunno what to do now.

Is this because GAME are f***ed financially? I bet they have to protect profit margins these days. Seems to be the only reason they'd be so out of sync with the rival high street stores all of a sudden. If they don't sort that out, people will start to realise and shop elsewhere so things will get worse for them.

Okay, I'm not the most tech-savvy so could anyone tell me the difference between the Vita wi-fi version and the 3G version?

The WiFi version will allow you to connect to a WiFi hotspot or modem, like your laptop or computer can.

However, the 3G version comes with a SIM card, meaning not only can you connect to a WiFi network, you can also connect to the Internet when you are out and about, like a smartphone.

Obviously, the 3G model costs more and also will require payments to whoever owns the SIM card, i.e. Vodafone, O2, Meteor etc.

Ok to keep it simple

Wi-fi - you will need to be near someones broadband that they broadcast over a wi-fi network. Like many of those internet cafe's with free wireless or wi-fi. Normally free but depending on where you go (airport) you may be asked to pay... Many folk have a wi-fi network set up in their own homes.

3G - normally you pay for this - it is basically like paying for another mobile phone service. Currently 3G is almost the standard - some places are testing a new 4G network. In order to use 3G you will need a sim card - just like in your mobile or there may be tech there with sim inbuilt (but not sure of that).

Wi-fi for most is ideal - especially if you have an iPhone or smartphone that you can then tether to in order to get online. With the 3G model you neither need a wi-fi hotspot or a smartphone in order to get onto the internet.

Hope this helps.

The 3G Version has GPS can browse the net,update game scores,trophies,can play some turn based multiplayer games and more without a wifi connection.It uses a mobile sim card and is also sim free.

Not sure if that'll translate to here.

Was it all part of one order or did you get the two games in a separate order, i.e. if you go to the Gamestop website, do you have only one order number for all of it and mulitple ones?

I'm I the only one that thinks that's a rip off? £250 would be over 300euro you can just get vita with the others for cheaper in Irish stores like HMV and xtravision..

All ok guys gamestop has just sent out my vita so i will be getting it tomorrow then

wes

Paid off mine yesterday. Will be getting Wifi Vita, Uncharted and 16gb memory card. Looking forward to tomorrow!
