Can't wait for the PSV-2000, or rather, the PSV slim with 4G, if that'll ever happen.

I'm getting the 3g anyway, because I want to help sony get through these tough economic times.
I also used my tax return to buy 10 3ds's in order to make sure nobody else could buy them / buy games for them.

If anyone really wants to play online with their Vita (or 3DS or any other wifi enabled device) the only REAL option is to buy a smartphone that is 4G (preferably real 4G, i.e. LTE, like my Galaxy Nexus) and utilize the wifi hotspot features.

That will enable to get FULL net access for your device anywhere at anytime. (obviously limited by your carriers range).

Then the only thing you may have to worry about is your data limits.

Save the extra $50, buy a wifi model, and just get the right phone with associated plans. You're paying the same extra fees (unless you root and rom said device) as the 3G model, but you'll actually get full functionality. Especially if you get a 4G LTE phone.

This is why I laughed at Sony for even offering a 3G model. Its so gimped and really a useless option. I don't see ANY reason for anyone to buy that model... unless they really are ignorant when it comes to available mobile technology and carrier offerings.

Good to know superchunk, i have a 4glte bionic. I will be happy to let my friends use my phone for wifi while I use the 3g for trophy browsing.
Very good to know.

Good reasons. I originally planned to get wifi version anyway.

I was never planning on getting the 3G model, but DAMN, I'd be pissed if I bought one and found out it couldn't play games online. That's just stupid as hell.

Same, goddamn at&t and goddamn sony for using at&t.

People are gunna flip when they find this out the hard way.

Its mostly there to stay connected, but some games can benifit from having it eg. ModNation Racers you can get your friends laptimes/ghosts and leave tracks you made for people to pick up , Ruin you can download peoples dungons to explore. Things you can do before you leave your house.

3g version too expensive anyway.

This is a horrible, horrible PR disaster waiting to happen.
