Were they plastic seal, or did HMV put games/manual into them.

Also has anyone else tried maps, my account has my real date of birth which puts me easily over 18 so not sure why i'm getting age restrictions.

Bought the Vita with Uncharted from HMV. Got the game - but there is no manual with this game. Does anyone know if no manuals is the norm for Vita games?

Guy took games packaging out of plastic, think he is supervisor too!!

Mississippi just said he could have dropped card or anything!! Won't be impressed if I'm at a loss of 40 euro

Most games included their manuals in the LiveArea of the game. Its the book icon above the launch button in the LiveArea

What's the story with the pre-order discounted game emails?

I successfully entered my pre order code online on monday night and the on screen information said I would get an email with my discount details closer to the launch and an email with the avatar crap within 72 hrs. I haven't recieved either yet.

What's everyone else's experience in that regard?

Haven't got mine yet

I got an Uncharted bundle with a 16Gig card and a copy of Lumines yesterday in Gamestop after trading in a PSP and a load of games.

Didn't get much of a chance to mess around with it yet because of work and collge but decided to have a quick go at Lumines last night before hitting the hay. 50 minutes went by in what seemed like 5. I've never played a Lumines game before and I'm completely hooked. Dirculously good soundtrack too!

Is it possible to buy games from the US PSN in the same way that you can on the Playstation 3?

If you make an american account you can, but you won't be able to use any them on any other account

Has anyone looked into cases for the Vita?

I am looking for a hard case [not just a skin] that can hold games, memory sticks and possibly earphones or other cables. It would also need to be as slim as possible. Any ideas?

This is similar to what I want.

That's probably the best one. I'm probably going to get this one.

The only case I've seen apart from the starter pack is one in gamestop. Looked a bit crap though.

The problem with that one, and my own option if I'm honest, is it is very bulky.

Ideally, I would get this if the top part had a compartment for games and cables.

Helix · 23-02-2012 5:17pm

the official sony one came along with mine. no complaints about it apart from the fact it's only got compartments for 4 cartridges, but there's enough room in the roof of it to get 2 or 3 of the official game holders too

Do you have a link to it? Where is it available, do you know?

tonydude · 23-02-2012 5:42pm

can ye guys buy from the psn store cause i keep getting an error

Otacon · 23-02-2012 5:50pm

I can buy no problem but downloading from there was an issue. Instead I had to download the games to my PS3 and then transfer them over.

It happened for Escape Plan and Motorstorm RC. I assumed it was due to traffic

i can't actually find it anywhere online now that you mention it. perhaps it's not a general release thing, which is a shame because it's a lovely hard shell case

Helix · 23-02-2012 6:05pm

ok just checked the sony site and it's not a general release case

Big Knox · 23-02-2012 6:16pm

+1 for Motorstorm RC. Unreal value for €6, add on Stardust Delta for €2 with the €5 off and that's two fantastic games for €8 in total.

Fantastic value if you're strapped for cash after splashing for the console!!!

I also picked up GTA Chinatown wars on sale for €8 after seeing the fantastic reviews it has. Never really looked into it at all not having a PSP and was expecting to be playing a fully 3d GTA along the lines of something like 3. When I realised it's a top down view throwback to GTA 1+2 I was extremely happy. Looks excellent can't wait to get stuck into it!!

Great little console. Loving it

ShadowHearth · 23-02-2012 6:48pm

Just bought lumines... Well 2 hours ago...

What a simple addictive game!!! Savage!!! When it played "hey girl, hey boy" by chemical brothers I giggled like a little girl!!!

I would go for vice city and china town wars as they would be different from each other. China town wars has the few from top, like old gta, where's vice city got it third person way.

Tipsy McSwagger · 23-02-2012 7:04pm

I love Chinatown Wars and would highly recommend it.

Wing126 · 23-02-2012 7:26pm

Can anybody who's bought the 3G edition tell me about the data plans?
