Forums - Sony - Future PSVita owners: Wifi or 3G?

silicon on 07 June 2011

For me it depends on the functionality and the carrier in Canada.

3G may be worth it for the augmented reality depending on how they implement it.

Wifi.

If I need 3G, I have a phone that I can use as a wifi hotspot.

I'll wait for a price cut first then consider.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

The 'basic' one. Don't even know what 3G is, which suggests I don't need it.


They don't use those terms in the UK? Its basically a marketing term for 3rd Gen cell phone data networks. Now there are 4G networks which are all the craze here, but only 1 is truly a 4G network (Verizon). The other "4g" carriers use glorified 3g (HSPA+ to be exact) and market it as 4G in order to charge more and make people think its fast. Marketing annoys me..

What would 3G allow me to do on a handheld gaming device that standard WiFi wouldn't?

Well its a cell phone network so you always have internet if there is cell service. Much greater service area than Wifi.

Oh right. Meh. Will stick with the basic version then.

It's not as if you'd be able to play multiplayer over 3G anyway (skip to 10:40 on this link). If you have a smart phone, I'm not sure why you'd want it.

Basic for me too.
