Okay, I'm not the most tech-savvy so could anyone tell me the difference between the Vita wi-fi version and the 3G version?

The WiFi version will allow you to connect to a WiFi hotspot or modem, like your laptop or computer can.

However, the 3G version comes with a SIM card, meaning not only can you connect to a WiFi network, you can also connect to the Internet when you are out and about, like a smartphone.

Obviously, the 3G model costs more and also will require payments to whoever owns the SIM card, i.e. Vodafone, O2, Meteor etc.

Ok to keep it simple

Wi-fi - you will need to be near someones broadband that they broadcast over a wi-fi network. Like many of those internet cafe's with free wireless or wi-fi. Normally free but depending on where you go (airport) you may be asked to pay... Many folk have a wi-fi network set up in their own homes.

3G - normally you pay for this - it is basically like paying for another mobile phone service. Currently 3G is almost the standard - some places are testing a new 4G network. In order to use 3G you will need a sim card - just like in your mobile or there may be tech there with sim inbuilt (but not sure of that).

Wi-fi for most is ideal - especially if you have an iPhone or smartphone that you can then tether to in order to get online. With the 3G model you neither need a wi-fi hotspot or a smartphone in order to get onto the internet.

Hope this helps.

The 3G Version has GPS can browse the net,update game scores,trophies,can play some turn based multiplayer games and more without a wifi connection.It uses a mobile sim card and is also sim free.

Was it all part of one order or did you get the two games in a separate order, i.e. if you go to the Gamestop website, do you have only one order number for all of it and mulitple ones?

I'm I the only one that thinks that's a rip off? £250 would be over 300euro you can just get vita with the others for cheaper in Irish stores like HMV and xtravision..
