Well Sony are giving the dev kits away free to indie developers so I think we will be seeing thousands of interesting apps and tools and games too hopefully

Was £394

Same kinda deal I got from Gamestation but I got little Deviants instead of Fifa. Did you get the £10 PSN credit thrown in too like I did?

You were happy with your deal.

Im surprised how happy people are that they get ripped off by Game and Gamestation lol

I've been waiting since Thursday. If it ain't here tomorrow I'm just gonna buy escape plan at full price, so wanna play it!

Its a joke tbh how slow it is.

I have not used my code mate, not sure if it is locked to my PSN, but I am in no rush to buy mine, so more than happy to give you my code then you give me yours when it arrives?

 

[sunny007]

Has anyone played the welcome park ?

 

[Soulja]

Is VG+ the best place to order games from? Also will i get hit with import tax?

You only get hit with import tax if customs open the packaging and realise what youve bought. Its one of those tricky things. You can get things well cheap and if you get it through cutsoms bosh it was cheap BUT if they open it you will have to pay the taxand bang its more expensive lol

 

[Soulja]

I'm tempted to order a few things from there but don't want to get raped by import tax.

I never got hit by customs when I used to order Gamecube games off them, but looking at the prices the majority at Coolshop are either the same, cheaper or slightly more expensive, doesn't seem worth it.

 

[aeschylus]

/agreed

Coolshop are fantastic, the new Shopto when they were cheap and prompt, Shopto have used their reputation to charge more.. Coolshop are at the stage where they send games early and a cheap price

 

[DBT85]

Turned on from off, I have everything unticked as well but it just comes back on when turning it on.

That's really odd. Mine doesn't I'll take screens of all my settings pages tomorrow and post them. I've looked in all of them to see if there is anything which might trigger it but couldn't see anything other than what was in the BT menu.

ND are Sony owned, they'll do what they are told.

ND are also Sony's most productive studio and that's why they have been given the freedom to make The Last of Us. Vultures were swooping to steal talent and they had to let them do whatever they wanted. Sony don't push their teams, if they did it wouldn't take 7 years to make GT5 and 6 years to make The Last Guardian etc.

After I confess to the wife tonight that i have purchased a PS Vita (its been hiding in a cupboard upstairs since yesterday afternoon)
A nice rib eye steak to soften her up first...
wish me luck

lol! Good luck

You were happy with your deal.

Laughing at people for their decisions isn't always the best way to make friends around here, especially since you don't know their circumstances. Several people on here bought from game and gamestation because they had a load of credit built up so the total cost was much less than just buying it from Amazon or some of the others.


For anyone wanting to import, planetaxel cover import tax and duty with their handling/delivery charge which for my 32GB memory card was $3 from Canada.

 

[Things change I've changed]

Yoshida just confirmed to me over twitter that devs will have a chance to develop apps for the Vita using the PS Suite sdk later this year which sounds hopeful, the system could definitely benefit from having a host of decent apps like podcast catcher, rss feeders etc.

 

[DBT85]

Yeah saw that dude. I wonder what he does all day. He seems to just play games and answer people like us on twitter! I only joined it to get answers from him lol.

On the Bluetooth front. I've just tested mind to be sure. As standard my BT is off. If I reboot it does not come back on. If I turn it on and reboot it DOES come back on. I've just turned it back off and rebooted again and it's not come back.

I'll do those screen caps tomorrow and hopefully we can find some odd settings that's making mine work and yours not.

Have you registered any BT devices that it might be turning on to look for? I have not.

Couldn't give a ****, got mine on the day at 8am, saved me stressing out about it coming in the post

 

[Seanoog]

[Tune]

Sounds like it went well.

Did the same myself, I knew I'd probably be paying over the odds but just didn't want to chance it coming late in the mail, stuff like this I like to grab from the store the minute they open.
