How long did it take you guys to receive your pre-order £5 off code and wipeout code for topping up after doing the business?

 

[TheVoice]

Sainsburys you could get

Vita + Uncharted = £199.99
Starter Pack(includes Case and Screen protectors) = £19.99
Memory Card 8gb = £32 I think

£252 for the lot, pretty good deal

It's not £199.99 with Uncharted, it's £199.99 when you buy Uncharted separately.

I have the Motorstorm RC Demo downloaded.

Can I pay to unlock the full version or do I have to download the entire full version once paid?

Tried the key and the padlock Items on the demo start screen which took me to PSN but it just said 'no content items'

Thanks,
V

Think Sainsburys got it wrong then Fifa for free! Wooo!

I want to pick up the starter kit and Uncharted, wheres the cheapest place theyre doing it?

 

[DBT85]

I'm thinking I should have got the 3G Vita instead of the Wi-Fi one, do you think Blockbuster would let me change it?

You have the right to return it regardless. If they then won't sell you a 3G one tere are plnty of places that will.

So come on guys opinions , you glad you bought one ? before i order ?

Well some might say I was a little hyped before the launch (looks at 4000 word OP) so I'm probably biased but if you want one

I'm very pleased with it. The hardware itself is as everyone has already said in every review and comment. The screen is beautiful, the touch screens are responsive, the analogues are great, the OS has more features than the PS3 and is smooth and fast, etc etc.

The Only real question for most people seems to be the games, and with those I'm very happy also and I've only actually played Motorstorm RC & Uncharted for any length of time. I'm looking forward to playing more of both as well as Wipeout, Rayman, Lumines, Stardust and Escape Plan.

The wife has been playing some Escape Plan this evening and was really enjoying it.

That's part of what I like about it as a console in general. It's not just trying to have console games on a handheld, it's got a load of smaller cheaper games that still benefit from the power and the controls available. Some of these are games that could probably come out on tablets and phones but with no buttons the experience would feel hollow.

So yeah, I like it

I think the product it self looks great for a good price.
But, the memory cards and software etc are way over priced. 39 quid for any game is a price I don't pay, let alone for a portable.

And every game on the console is available for less and has been since before it launched...

Plus, there are a range of price points, it's not like the PS3 where games are either full price or Platinum price.

I get the memory card issue but for me, over the life of the system it's inconsequential. Owning a memory card allows me to play Stardust, Motorstorm, Escape Plan and all the other Digital only games. Even with just 8GB in there I have too much to play and space left. Larger cards are just nice if you never or rarely want to move data around.

I have the Motorstorm RC Demo downloaded.

Can I pay to unlock the full version or do I have to download the entire full version once paid?

No idea sorry. How big is the demo?


I got to the start of Chapter 5 on Uncharted today. Really enjoying it. The motion aiming took a little while to get used to, as soon as I turned the sensitivity to max it was much easier to use.

 

[thewanted]

How much time are you guys getting out of a charge?

 

[Mr Men]

the only thing bad I have to say so far is the screenshot feature does not do the graphics any justice, they look so much better on the system

 

[Adsta]

I still havnt had my £5quid off email from the preorder pack was hoping to get it sooner to try out that escape plan, it looks awesome. Then again the page did say can take up to 72hours sooo owell.

I noticed Persona was up on sale for 8.99 (with ps plus) so I bought that. Loved that game back in the day. Been playing on that more than Uncharted so far lol. Uncharted is very very good though and graphically amazing imo.

 

[Things change I've changed]

How much time are you guys getting out of a charge?

About 4 hours I'd say, maybe 4 and half, blue tooth disabled, wi-fi enabled, default brightness.

 

[thewanted]

About 4 hours I'd say, maybe 4 and half, blue tooth disabled, wi-fi enabled, default brightness.

Thanks That's not bad I guess. I was curious to know how long it would last on, let's say, a long-haul flight. You'd get even more out of it with the wi-fi turned off.

 

[Mr Men]

turning the brightness down would probably double the battery life I think

 

[thewanted]

turning the brightness down would probably double the battery life I think

Is the default brightness quite high then?

 

[Tune]

Really really want one of these now, was thinking of waiting a little until they are cheaper but not sure I can Might just sell my ds and some ps3 games to get one Is it worth it? And what memory card should i go for if i do? a lot seem to be getting the 16gb one. What do you need all that for though?

 

[Mr Men]

Is the default brightness quite high then?

Yeah it is

 

[grimm]

It really does feel like a premium device, I'm impressed so far

[WatchTower]

It's a quality pice of kit that deserves to do well. I've read positive things about sales and people lining up outsides stores for Vitas but haven't actually found and day one sales figures.
