PS Vita North America Launch Thread

[The Black Wolf]

Today is 2/21/2012, but guess what tomorrow is? The official release date of the PS Vita!

Those of you running to walmart, gamestop, best buy, or ordering online, please post pics or videos of your unboxing and your thoughts about being a PS Vita owner the first day!

[Thorzilla]

To all those who already have the Vita or for those lucky enough to purchase it tomorrow: fuck you dearly
I still gotta wait til next Monday to get my hands on it, since I got the latin american 3G pack for $100 less than it is sold in stores since I ordered it in an online store.

[Vulgotha]

Getting my 3G tomorrow =D

Does anyone know if Netflix is already available? Or will be by tomorrow?

[Lethal_NFS]

Netflix, Skype, and other apps will be available tonight. I have not even been able to try out the augmented reality cards because the PS Store did not have the free games for it to download. The PS Store screwed the first edition bundle buyers!!!!!!

[Nitey]

Mine was shipped from Amazon this afternoon, so should be here tomorrow. Unfortunately delivery estimate for Lumines is 27th Feb

3 games should keep me busy, plus SSD from the store

[F34R]

Not sure how long we'll be getting ours from Lockerz... hopefully it isn't too long after tomorrow.

[radgamer420]

I'll be picking mine up from Gamestop tomorrow morning.

[Sylar]

I've had an email saying mines been shipped ^_^ although if it does not arrive tomorrow I will not be happy!

[F34R]

I'd rather not deal with the taxes rad... How much is the total cost a gs for you?

Not sure but I traded in some games, PSP (with extra 25 dollar deal) and I owe about 140 dollars on it now.

[Ariakace]

I got that amazon deal, with release date delivery, so ill definately be expecting mine tomorrow afternoon when i wake up. Since i go into work tonight at 11, ill get out just in time for Target to open, and nab that Buy 2 Get 1 deal and pick up Uncharted, Army Coprs of Hell, and Gravity Rush. Its nice, cause i have a 50 dollar gift card there from christmas too. Maybe ill pick up that charging dock too... who knows.

[The Cage]

Why just NA? it's coming out the 22nd everywhere else too.

I sold my original PSP-1000 (mint) for $90 to put towards it lol. They were going to give me like $25 at gamestop for it.

hopefully by saturday!

[F34R]

As long as it's by Monday... I work thurs-sat on nights so I won't have time to mess with it till Monday anyways...

Because NA/JPN/EU are all different territories with different deals, different offerings. So threads like these have to be regional in order to avoid confusion on almost everthing related to Vita be it 3G pricing schemes apps and games availablf etc....

I received an email from Lockerz concerning the Vita accessories I purchased through them using ptz today. They told me the items had shipped via USPS.

Damn you only got $90 for your mint 1000? I would have gave you $90 for it punk!

[radgamer420]

They gave me 50 for my PSP plus the 25 dollar bonus along with the extra 10 percent for using the edge card. And not only that but I'll be playing my Vita tomorrow morning while youre still waiting and hoping for yours. lol

Alright then...

[Rapture]

Given my current financial situation, I'm not entirely wanton with the idea of dropping 250$ on a handheld. As a typical American consumer, I desperately feel the urge to buy one, but I'm hesitant considering any possibly issues the hardware may have- plus the lack of worthy games.

1) Do you guys know how long the battery lasts both passive and under load?

2) Does adding music to the library function similarly to how it was for the PSP? It was extremely easy and convenient, and the PSP recognized folders properly.

Last night I charged the Vita 100%. I played Uncharted for about 2hrs and my battery life was at 70%. I was actually very surprised that the battery was not drained further.

I still have a mint 2000.

Ha, You paid sales tax, and retail pricing. I didn't pay any taxes, and I got the 3g bundle pack for less than the wifi pack.

But the 1000 is classic. A real quality build

[F34R]

Yeah, I didn't want to get rid of it, but I literally hadn't used it in a while. $90 for a six year old PSP was a good deal.
