Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

I going to use the free month 3G and then cancel it. You can cancel then if I want/need it, I can activate it again. Not too hard. I have AT&T anyway.

Don't you have to buy a month before you can get the free month? I think that's how it works.

I decided on the Wifi version, 32gb card (a little overkill there), a got a $15 soft case that holds the charger and games, along with Hot Shots. Once I get the Vita in my hands I'll probably grab Uncharted at that time too.

No, you get one free data session that lasts one month. You have to activate it by the end of March, so no, you do not have to buy a month, before you get one free.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

Im rolling with the 3G version, basically because I want it a week early. If i could get the wifi version this week i would. But im all about the instant gratification!

Im also getting the 32GB mem card. I wont use it for music but i want to have video on it & download games without worrying about size. With netflix, movies and games this thing is going to be the ultimatr timewaster...

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

Just witness some crazy stuff on Amazon just now. Various Vita items was going for cheap from a seller JM Prime. I just miss a 32gb Vita card for $28 (I got it in mt cart, but when I tried to buy it said no more available) . I got a Sony In Ear Headset for $9. Some cases were $9. It was crazy!

How in the hell was this happening?

Damn it.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

No clue? I was looking for a 32gb card and it gave a $28 price. I was like, WTF?, Put it in my cart immediately. Went to check out, none left. Started searching other things and got hold of the Headset. Sony made of course.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

Don't be surprised if it never comes, scams can (and do) happen on Amazon marketplace just as easy as ebay.

Re: PSVITA Handheld Information

So...I caved big time and ended up going for the first edition Vita (yes, that's 3G after I said I wouldn't need it). The justification? Sprint's 3G service isn't cheap and I can't guarantee that I'll have it forever (or even beyond this year). So, as I understand it I don't have to use the AT&T service, but I can keep that possibility for later just in case.

So, yeah. First edition Vita, 16 GB Memory card, Hot Shots, and one of those screen protectors.

(and I'd be lying if I said getting significantly more than expected back on my taxes didn't have something to do with this)

Doesn't the first edition Vita come with an 8 GB card? What are you going to do with that?

I'm looking for a reason to get the 3G model, but I don't want to have spent $50 more for something I might not end up using. What exactly does the 3G service offer? Does "going on the web anywhere" fall under that? If the web browser is as poor on it as it has been in videos, it probably wouldn't even be worth it anyway.

So stuck on this one. With the Vita and its games/components plus MLB The Show, SSX, and Twisted Metal coming out in the next month, I'm going to be way in the red. I'm wondering if I should just go even more in the red anyway lol.

Everything I've read about the First edition says it comes with a 4 GB card. Considering many of my PSP games will still work on the Vita and I need space to accommodate them, starting with 20 GB seemed like a good idea.

Whoops, guess I misremembered.

Anyway, I don't know if I would want to have two memory cards. It seems like that would be like having two hard drives for your PS3. I don't know if anything would transition over, from demos to file saves, and anything else in between. Kind of makes the point of having a second one moot.

I'm also sitting here, wondering if they'll someday come out with a second generation version that is slightly smaller in every way (buttons and sticks still the same size) with 4G inclusion. That would be interesting.

Looking at what they did with the all the versions of the PSP, I would say it's a safe bet that we'll see a tweaked Vita-slim.

I had 4 memory sticks for the PSP, so I guess I'm used to having multiple ones. I don't see them as much different from PSP memory sticks, PS1-PS2 memory cards, or even N64 controller paks - with the added benefit of actually being able to put full games on them.

Well, I've never owned a handheld in the past, so it will definitely be new for me. As far as PSX/PS2, you could have two memory cards in at a time, which I did, so that was no problem for me. Plus, as you said, those memory cards were just for saves. Now that you can store all sorts of media, it just seems a bit off to have two different ones in a way, especially when you have to somehow "carry" it around with you when you're on the go.
