Thanks for the tip. Majority want the AC Bundle anyways and amazon will have it.

I have a question...

I really don't like white electronics but for some reason the AC Vita bundle appeals to me and I'm looking to get a second vita for the girlfriend.

What are the odds this will turn yellow or have some yellowing occur? I have this picture in my mind of the old Apple keyboards that yellow only after a few months of use and get progressively worse with age.

Maybe the hori screen protector that covers the entire front face would help? and then put a skin on it? I dunno I'm just really particular about my electronics.

My brother kept his white psp for 4 years and never yellowed at all. I think Sony does a pretty good job from having the system do this

It appeals to you probably because a white console from Sony being sold in north america is rare. The PS3 never received another color besides black in north america except for the gun metal grey PS3. Even the white psps were limited to the first 2 iterations of the psps.

Is their a glossy coating on the AC Vita? Maybe that helps....

I guess I should not be a douche and get the girlfriend's preference

No I'm a little OCD and I like everything to be uniform. Electronics = black; wood furniture (TV Stand, Book Shelves, etc.) = expresso

I just think having your TV, receiver, speakers, game consoles, cables (HDMI, Component, speaker wire) satellite/cable box all one color looks sleeker.

Yes its glossy. Its really a damn nice color for the Vita

note that if you buy from amazon and you live in cali, they hit you with a $6 california recycling fee on top of the tax.

That article that was quoted has no sources for its information - so, keep your eyes open on Black Friday - Sony itself said nothing about the specials being limited by location. It might be, but I haven't seen that info anywhere else. If it was part of the press packet that was sent out, everyone would have reported it.

Based on the released BF ads, this explanation does make sense. I do know that the Batman 2 bundle is exclusive to Target (and is available now a certain stores). It would be nice to see all the retailers participate in discounting multiple bundles, but I don't want to assume that...

Except, we do know that Best Buy does carry the AC bundle, and I'd be stunned if they'd be ok with only getting part of the discount promotion. But, we'll see ... These things are always a bit cloudy until the day.

I think the glossy coating helps. It is believed that the exposed white plastic undergoes a chemical reaction when exposed to sunlight and/or containments in the air (oxidation?). The yellowing effect can happen on the white Sony controllers, because it does not have a glossy coating...

I bought a used Vita from gamestop last week...looks like I'll be returning it and getting the AC bundle for the same price. I hope there isn't some freak demand for Vitas though that makes it tough to find one.

Does gamestop do an early BF deals for Power Up members? I feel like they did something like that before, but i can't remember

I'm not really sure either, but I don't like to make assumptions if I can help it.

I emailed the author of that article, so hopefully I can get some clarification on this matter...

I never heard of them doing early BF deals for Powerup members. I only know of Silver Best Buy rewards members getting early access to BF deals...

My local GameStop is opening at Midnight, even though it doesn't get a lot of traffic that day. Apparently in order to get out of the Midnight opening, the DM has to fill out a form and send it to corporate excusing them from it, and this particular DM forgot to do it...

Holy crap I really want the white vita! Its so hard to resist!

Posted this in the amazon thread, but it may as well go here too.

Amazon will have a different/better Vita Assassin's Creed bundle:
