PSVita (Successor to PSP, was PSP2 then NGP)

Cool. I'd rather have a physical format, I don't want to pay full RRP for games on a cloud portal.

Think fast people! Play and Game have now started to accept pre-orders for the VITA. Currently play is only taking them for the 3G version at ?279.99. Game on the other hand have both models up:

Wifi Edition - ?229.99
3G Edition - ?279.99

As part of the pre-order shuffle game I've placed my first pre-order with Game for the Wifi model, only had a bit of points to use so mine is ?225, now to see if anyone under cuts them

Really? Its already delayed in Europe until April 2012, thats before they even annouce the release date before Christmas they can't possibly meet!

[Fuddle]

pre-ordered!
normal wifi version at play.com. no reason not to really. if it turns out to be region locked or delayed its easy enough to cancel. everybody's golf is enough to sell it to me. lets hope that new ridge game is none of that unbounded nonsense.

[Shozuki]

yeah pre-ordered too, WiFi and 3G.

[speedlolita]

Might import from US. Kekeke.

Wifi version only, who really games on the go?

[elaniel]

I may get the US model as my PS3 is US as well (as is my Playstation Account). I just have to hope the games are region free. Hope it's not too long to see if we can buy stuff on different region stores to play on the Vita though. How does it work with PSP content and accounts? I've not downloaded anything from the PSN for my PSP. Does it only allow to have one region on the system at a time?

EDIT: Just ordered from Amazon USA. 190 quid with import fees and shipping included. Not bad.

[speedlolita]

Yeah.. Might do that myself later. How much earlier is it released?

[elaniel]

I don't think we have dates yet.

[abigsmurf]

Virtua Tennis 4 confirmed as a launch game.

[elaniel]

Confirmed will be out in Japan by end of year. Other regions seem to be end of fiscal year. Just reported on GameTrailers.

[speedlolita]

Preorder placed for a US Wi-Fi model.

[Salsa Party Animal]

How big screen ?

Oh I also order it on amazon (Wifi) USA of course. Any games on order. Anything worth a look apart from RR and EB's Golf.

I have a quick question about this whole 3G lark, since I'm not well versed with these new fangled mobile technologies. What would 3G actually be useful for on a handheld console, just for always-available internet connectivity? This 3G stuff is costly, right? Trying to decide which version to go for!

Pretty much this, for most it'll be waste of time buying the pricier model as you should be able to tether it via bluetooth to your mobile for internet like you could with the PSPGo.
