To be fair, whether it is worth the premium is surely up to the individual. If it was £50 then I would probably agree that it wasn't worth it. I was originally only going to get the WiFi model. With Wipeout being part of that deal though it's cost me an extra £25 over the WiFi model. £25 was worth a punt even if it wasn't worth it and personally I'm rather pleased that I went with this one. But then I always knew that head to head over 3G wasn't an option.
It seems some people may be being mis-sold or are misunderstanding what they can and can't do and that is obviously an issue.
As I've said before, I can completely understand why people would go with the WiFi, I changed my mind very late before release.
I registered my account on the Vodafone site and got the activation code and then topped up my account online from within my account and my Wipeout code came through fine.
Vodafone have made an utter mess of this promotion when it should have been much simpler!

I wan't being mean I meant it wasn't worth the premium for me. I managed to get wipeout for only £18 so even with the free wipeout game 3G wasn't worth it for me. I would have liked the whole Near thing using 3G as your more likely to unlock extras for games quicker and easier but I just felt it wasn't worth the extra cash. If the Vita had been the newer 4G and with that had the ability to play games online I'd have paid whatever the extra would have been for that though lol
I think the 3G just gives devs (if they have the guts) to produce some interesting games once you consider AR and GPS usage - stuff we already see on the mobile platform but with the graphics power of the Vita behind it...
Today Vitas 3G implementation might not be the best due to the known restrictions, but give it some time and the devs will no doubt find some interesting uses for it and ones that are far more social-orientated...
You really wouldnt have thought your Oyster card and your Underground activity could lead you playing as a team versus other strangers trying to 'win' stations - or your phone GPS would lead you to be a survivor in a social zombie game so to dismiss the 3G/GPS capabilities of the Vita may in time look short-sighted...

Ahh sorry, I thought it was a general "it's not worth it and anyone who got it must be CraZy" rather than "for me it wasn't worth it".
4G isn't available in the UK and probably won't be for a year. Even then it'll be patchy
Dont get why people keep referring to 4G, more likely to have OLED TVs than to have a full coverage, full speed 4G network at a reasonable cost - you cant even say that of 3G right now really especially regards to speed vs coverage...
By then the Vita will be a few years old already...

The iPhone 5 will change the 4G situation I'm sure lol
The iPhone 5 will cost £4-500
iPhone 5 wont change anything.
Apple don't have as much sway as people like to think.

The lol indicates a joke or sarcasm. Just saying. People should lighten up and you mean £400 -£500 unless apple are going to be generous

Still VERY Patchy 3G serice in the City I work at, never mind 4G.
Only Vodafone apparently provide it (3G).
On a great note, my VITA has just been posted...

Where is the Unit 13 demo?
It was causing some issues and crashes so was removed. The game is still supposed to come out on March 7th and I think a new demo is expected soon.
Those that played it seemed to enjoy it.
