    So, vats going up by 2%(probably).

    Yea i get to spend more on my Vita as well as everything else or i'm taking a short trip and giving some other country my money.

    so you're going to save the €5.00 extra your vita is going to cost you by travelling to another country to buy it? logic fail

    Would have been going anyway at some point might as well time it for vita.

    or that saved 5 could note cover buying it online some uk.

    Anyone have any news on the Vita Launch in Ireland? Any official dates, bundle options, multiplayer features? I heard that it's in Mid-February.

    Is this for all stores or just certain stores?

    According to an e-mail I got today, GAME, HMV, Amazon, GameStation, Argos and Blockbuster are doing it - both the Wifi and 3G versions.

    Still no word on EU/US memory card prices? Not a chance i'd consider pre-ordering until details are known.

    Was reading that if you buy the largest card the the high discounts for psn versions of games will mean that after 8 games it's paid for itself, but it's a big initial cost along with the vita.

    What you mean by the high discounts for psn versions of games?... Is the full games going to be cheaper to buy in the PS Store than in game shops?

    Yes, according to Sony. I was reading that the games could be discounted almost 40%, meaning about eight games will cover the cost of a 32GB memory card with their savings.

    That's in addition to the discount on PSN stuff for the vita that will be out for the first few months of release.

    Looking by Japanese prices there are some good discounts over the albeit inflated Japanese price for games.

    It's a lot of money on day 1 and i'm not sure how long it take for me to buy enough games to start making a saving but i probably do it to go along with any PLUS stuff that may be included.

    Been reconfirmed that the Vita will only allow you to register one account.

    Via Joystiq.

    How is the 3G version going to work? Is it free or will you have to sign a contract/pay as you go?

    I'd be happy enough with the normal wi-fi to just play online at home but if the 3G is free (like the kindle) then it'd be worth the extra dosh.

    Vodafone are the Irish partner. You'll have to pay per month for it, not sure how much though.

    If you have a decent enough smartphone, you can turn it into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot to use with your Vita. That's my plan anyway.

    You need to reset it to change, it was said that accounts were tired to cards but now it's both.

    What I want to know is if I take out the EU account card, reset the vita which would only lose the account and wifi setting can I then insert a card with my US stuff and set up vita for that account or will each card be set for once instance of the account on the vita.

    And visas versa.

    Possible stupid question: Where is the memory card slot? Or is the game slot also where the card goes?

    I think you'd have to be nuts to buy a Vita in EU/UK. When my aunt is going to the US in Spring I'll get the Vita (wifi only), 16GB memory card, Uncharted and Little Deviants all for only €283 (dollars converted). Much more better value than getting the Vita on its own for €250 here! Anyone else going to buy in the US?






    Actually, I might go for the 32GB for an extra €30 :D
