If you do then you'll at least get the 'free' games each month (although you're not guaranteed to like them ofc) and also that cross-buy ability. I don't have a PS4 myself so can't say how great a replacement controller it would be - the Vita only has 2 (not that great) shoulder buttons as opposed to 4 on the PS4 controller. Otherwise the unit is a great machine, the thumb sticks are great too, amazing screen. The 3DSXL (don't bother with non-XL) is superb. Not so long ago I wasn't bothered by it and got the Vita instead. But once I actually did some research on the games available, specifically seeing 3D Land in action, I went out and got the Yoshi edition and haven't regretted it for a second. I got it new in Argos for €190 I think, it's €175 now.

And the Yoshi Argos deal is the one I'm eyeing up. The Ps Vita just looks so slick, in terms of gaming Id be better off with the 3DS due to all the amazing exclusives. Thanks lads, I'll be sure to post whatever I do get in the end anyway!

Steve SI wrote: » No that was demo 1 or maybe 2. Batman clip was on a disc included with the 3DO wasn't it? The purple/blue disc? This is what's on this one.

To be fair to pmotel, it looks like it arrived ripped open(item still in the packet and still bubble wrapped and taped luckily) and they put it in one of there parcel motel letterbag things before sending it to my motel.

waveform wrote: » Parcel Motel really need an option to notify people when a package has arrived at their facility, and is put in your account with the picture. I'm sick sh*t of having to manually log in and check it everytime. And sometimes there's a tracking number in there also which you can use on Nightline's site. But there's not much point as you may not see it as you're not notified. The only notification they do is an email or text notification when the parcel arrives in your locker. I'd really like if someone made an app for it, there are existing tracking apps like "Deliveries" on Android that you can track packages with every courier in the world. I might contact the developers to see if they would be interested in adding support for Parcel Motel.
