Jesus, Vita is such a horrible waste of money.... 3G... proprietary forced memory on a system with card based games... ugh...

Well for the asking price of all this Vita related stuff, this is a decent deal. You'll spend $300 on a wifi only system anyways when you include the memory card and a game, so might as well just get the 3G version anyways.

If you're getting the Vita... best bet would be to just pre-order this.


I'm just gonna say you are full of it. it may not be worth the money to 'you' but to many it will be definitely worth it. Unlike the 3ds, from a hardware pov, psv is not over priced at all. don't like the 3g version? stop bitching and get the wifi one, no one is forcing you to do otherwise

 

OT: fantastic deal, I might have to get this one

 I guess my post I wasn't very clear, the wate of money part was in the specific features I mentioned; 3G and forced save cards. Vita itself is the same as any game console and its value is based on the content per everyone's tastes.

However, as for overpriced, etc... didn't a 3rd party company just state the cost of materials on the 3G model was around $160?


i'd say your 3rd party company is full of shit then 'cause sony has stated several times now that at launch it will be selling close to but still below cost.

 

OT - I just found i have 4 weeks of travel starting Feb 20th.  might have to change my plans and get a vita at launch just to keep myself sane over that month and this is a decent deal. 

However, the details of this plan isn't actually that good.  You have to have first payed for a full month of ATT service before getting a free month (for which you still have to pay taxes) or your free game and then you have to cancel your automatic renewal.  as I don't actually want the data subscription this is too much hassel and cost to be worth it.
