3g cant do wifi period

3g would be just for downloads

It's a good deal for anyone that still has an unlimited data plan from AT&T (Me). Between me and my brother, we use 4-5 gigs on our plans for $30/month, but since we've had the unlimited plan since 2007 we were never subject to that 2 gig limit. And this is the only reason we're still with AT&T.

Is 3g required for the 'Near' feature?


For gaming without the use of a access point/router. It can be used now if there are any games that let you go online to play multiplayer with.


?

Or you can tether your phone into wifi access point and use that instead of paying additional fees.

Wifi requires you to be near a router to go online on the Vita, while the 3G version you can be anywhere but you have to pay a monthly fee.

It really isnt required unless you use it for online gaming with friends (like on the road) o.o.

Though I honestly dont see the need for it....if you have access to a router/access point than there's no point in purchasing the 3G Version nor paying a monthly fee for it.

You save a 100 dollars along with whatever monthly bill you get lol


Yeah I did a google search and there is one that uses GPS(3g) and another version that uses wifi hotspots to calculate your location. The 3g version sounds cooler though.

I like that it is kinda a "pay as you go (no pun intended)" data plan strategy. But $25 is to much. I already decided to pass on the 3G model because $50 more for the system, plus potentially paying expensive data plan prices was too much.

After about a year or two though, the 3G will be discontinued for a 4G model.



that is crazy, ive got 3g plan on my phone and its 6 gb for 30.

Cheap version for me



most peep will stick with the 3G-less version,and u guys need to stfu about the memory card. it's not that expensive.



3g version is probably the most pointless idea. If anything I would just tether it to my phone, and use phone as a access point woopie unlimited data lol.



Can't you just buy 3G vita separatly in shop and use any of the tablet mobile plans from any operator ?
