Sony is in financial trouble. Serious Financial trouble. They save millions of dollars a year on doing these things, and you couldn't see why they don't?

I'm with you they raised the price of the Diet Slim PS3 and couldn't bother with a game case, however I totally understand why they did it.

2 day shipping from Seattle to 50 miles away taking 3 days is what I get for being negative on my purchase and second guessing myself.

Tempted to sell the white AC Vita bundle. It's being sold for $300 on ebay.

You got me. I wouldn't pay that much. There are a few listings being bidded up to that price though. Of course it could be one of those bidders that actually don't pay up though.

Glad people seem to be enjoying their vita purchase. I played a bit on my AC3 vita, but the 4gb mem card really limits what you can do. excited to see what MLB 12 is like on the vita.

I love the arguments over deals. When a new deal is posted for a similar item you always get four groups or cag arguments.

1. The original buyers of the previous deal either questioning the authenticity of the new posted deal or trying to explain how the previous one was better.
2. The people who missed the original deal trying to explain how the new deal is obviously superior.
3. Those who bought the first deal, who are now furiously trying to cancel their original order to get the new deal or thinking of ways to somehow get out of the first deal.
4. People who purchases the item at full price near launch who either post to defend their purchase to themselves or try to troll on the new deal as being crappy.

In this case I dont think there were many people in category 3, but that's just me.

For BF I think the Amazon bundle was by far the best bundle. The main point is that to get a Vita it cost $20 less. Forget the rest of the bundle, the $180 price was cheap to just get a vita. Add in the other items in the bundle and it was an easy purchase. I could really care less about the bonuses, I just wanted a NEW Vita for as cheap as possible. I was checking Amazon Warehouse with no luck.

At the height of jealousy after the Amazon deal a few sold for around $300, but that was with all the Amazon bonus items. Now they can be had for the $250 retail price easily, even on ebay. Some even include PS All-stars with them.

so would you guys say assassins creed liberation is worth keeping? or should i sell it and get something else? i already have persona 4 btw

If anyone wants an AC3:L White Vita Bundle still, I'll sell one for $210 paypal shipped via 2 day shipping directly from Amazon.

The company they shipped it with lost my package so now they're telling me they'll sell me another for the same price as when it was on sale, but I ended up buying a Vita locally so don't really need it. Just offering it here at cost ($180 + tax + CA waste fee?) before I put it up on eBay/Amazon to try and convert my Amazon GC's into cash.

What screen protector did everyone get for their Vita? Is a case recommended?

I got a Hori protector because I always buy Hori, I like their quality, but they don't make a back touchpad protector, only a front protector. These are cheap and I've heard their quality is surprisingly good, they also have a back protector.

I ordered the Hori face cover and the Pull 'n Go Folio because apparently the Vita with face cover on fits into that. I like being able to close a shell over when I'm not using it, my PSP lives in a PlayGear Pocket for similar reasons.

Bought a Hori Screen Protector for mine, listed here

As for the case, none yet. I'm just going to use my oldschool Logitech PSP case (if it fits), if it doesn't I'll just put it in the PSP Sleeve.

Don't plan on using it too much anyways, so I think that'll do for the time being.

I ended up grabbing the COD Bundle. I picked up the official Sony Vita screen protectors (2 pack) onsale on Amazon for around $7. As for a case, my local Target had the PDP Custom Crystal cases on clearance for $5.xx. I picked up one of those and love it. It's a hard metal on the outside, and a secure rubber on the inside. Holds 8 games and 2 memory card, plus you can change out the covers in the windows of the case. It comes with a few, but you can print your own. Very good deal. It's pretty cheap on Amazon, too.

I really like the white color on the Vita, matches the look of my new white RAZR HD phone almost exactly. I'm going to struggle and keep the 4GB card until I see a good deal on the 32GB size though to feel better about the great price on the bundle.

i just bought a 32GB card from amazon with chase reward points. i see what you did there sony.

I picked up the Sony Vita screen protectors as well The Hori ones were going to take longer and I like to put on a screen protector before I even start playing.

I randomly picked out a nerf armor case at Target to give it a try. They aren't the best looking but I liked them on my DS because they were cushy which made extended play bearable. Haven't tried it out yet but it may be going back.

I remember seeing those PDP cases on clearance before black friday at my target, I'll have to check and see if they still have them.

The Uncharted 3 superslim bundle comes in the standard case and so does the PS3 AC bundle. I was also shocked that the Infamous bundle doesn't come in gamecases, but for a $200 bundle these games were basically free, so I really can't complain too much.

It does throw you off to see the retail gamecases pictured on the box for the Vita bundles and the Infamous bundle...

Any advice on grips? I'm eyeing the Hori one but wanted CAG's opinon before I bought anything.

I got my Vita today (so gorgeous!) but I have a question...

I have the crappy 4GB memory card, but couldn't resist playing Uncharted as my first Vita game, and with that being on my Vita, I can't fit another game on it. Is there a way I can transfer the game elsewhere and not have to download it again? And copy it back on later when I get a bigger memory card. I know this seems sad, but downloading even 3GB takes a long time on my internet. Plus I have bandwidth cap.

I tried to transfer it back to Ps3, and it showed the whole copying process but have no idea where it went. Anybody else have a solution?

I'm gonna need a 32GB card but I refuse to pay $80-100 for it, that's just insane.

You can backup everything on your memory card to your PC. But I'm just as new to this as you.

If you have PS+, you need a minimum 16gb memory card. Anything less and your membership is pointless. It's Sony's way of pushing memory card sales
