(not a competitor)
is the special offer - lbp2 and a 4gb memory card for £199 a good deal?
will I need to buy anything extra like a charging cable? is 4gb enough for just gaming (can't imagine I'll use it for anything else)?
thanks.
Amazon've got the same offer on for £10 less (linky). OcUK has the Wi-Fi Vita on sale for £167.99 as part of this week's offers, so if LBP is what you really want you'll save a little by buying that bundle from Argos/Amazon (going by Amazon's prices, they have LBP for £19.28, and a 4GB Memory Card for £13.11). You won't need anything else as it comes with a charging cable, however there are some nice kits like this one that come with some goodies to get you on your way (I'm still using the case from that starter kit, does exactly what I want and the stand feature it has is pretty useful). If you plan on downloading anything you'll find that 4GB won't last long at all, I bought mine at launch with an 8GB and it's just too small. Ordered a 32GB earlier this week from Amazon for ~£60 so hopefully that'll make things easier
Pac3y makes a good point though, they go quite regularly in the MM for cheaper, and if I were you I'd just buy the "base" Vita and start off with PS+ Vita IGC or some other games that appeal to you and possibly a larger memory card.
