No free case, but a way better game!

Definitely a better game but I need Amazon or Newegg to have these deals so I can get fast shipping, no tax and use promo credits and giftcards.

Wait for the 3G/WiFi model to be $249.99, and THEN get a free Uncharted: Golden Abyss on top of that.

Decent, but I'm still waiting on the inevitable system redesign before I buy one.

Not bad, but tax kind of kills it.

Uncharted is not a better game. It is a sub par version of a great PS3 series and has virtually no replay value. Hot Shots Golf, and even Wipeout, are better games that are offered in the Gamestop deal. I've played several vita games, Uncharted is among the worst that I have.

Well you are obviously in the minority. I tried it at target and thought holy shit this looks like a PS3 game! I plan on getting a vita with all my sony rewards points. I'd love to get Uncharted for free. I did however already buy Shinobido 2 during Amazon's B2G1 sale along with Tekken Hybrid LE and Hakuoki LE.

Well, I do think it's good looking but I also thought it's nowhere as good a game as the other 3, mostly lacking story. There are some gameplay like the hacking of bamboo and charcoal felt really gimmicky.

I'm surprised people are complaining about being an early adopter and getting "shafted" by this mediocre deal. The 3G bundle is $269 on Amazon, and Uncharted is a very average game that you can just buy for $30 or less on eBay. $269+$30=$299, which is less than the $299+tax you'd pay at a Sony store. And who shops at a Sony store anyway?

Best deal I've seen on the Vita yet, but still not enough to make me buy. I want a vita really bad but I gotta remain patient.

If you get the 3G model, are you required to set up a 3G account or can you bypass that and just set it up as a Wifi system until the 3G compatibility becomes more appealing?

You dont have to get a 3g subscription, you can use it wifi only.

If I would have stopped playing after the first few chapters I would have completely agreed with you but midway through the game I started to clinch on to it just as much as any other Uncharted game. By the time the game was over I was in love with it. The game wasn't as good as its PS3 counterparts but it wasn't far off. To me, there was replay value similar to the other titles in trophy hunting. It would be nearly impossible to get all of the weapons trophies in one play through.

As far as the sukfac guy... it appears there is yet another complainer on a gaming forum. #13,567,876

Seriously the gaming community probably has the most whiners and complainers out of any other hobby. Game consoles are and have always been vastly proprietary. Get over it or get a new hobby.

30 bucks? lol. Just checked-the cheapest new Ebay copy buy it now is $42 so I don't know where you're seeing that. Even the cheapest current auction is over $30 right now and it has an hour and a half to go...the last second snipers will boost that to $38 easy...

I finished Uncharted and thought it was mediocre at best, and def not worth 50 bucks. For my money, the best vita games are(in order) Rayman, Hot Shots, Lumines, wipeout, and MLB. Uncharted wouldn't even be next on the list.

I agree with you as far as Uncharted, the first few chapters were slow but little over halfway through it really picked up and fell inline with the rest of the series. Glad to see Bend Studios did so well with it and wouldn't mind see another one!

Look at the completed listings. Pretty much all of them have gone for under $30, shipping included.

Nope-I just checked all the completed listings for the first 2 pages anyway. Out of 20, found ONE for just over $30 shipped and most $36-$40 range shipped. Now if you are talking "Like New" copies, you are right on but we are talking about getting a new, sealed copy from the Sony store, so that's the value I was taking about-new and sealed. Like I said, I did see one poor sap in Texas only got $30 and change for it but the vast majority are closer to $40. Anyway, to get back on topic, I typically just use the Sony stores as showrooms as they never have deals but if I didn't already have a Vita, I'd take advantage of this bundle...

Did anyone else have trouble seeing things in uncharted? I only played about 40 minutes, but that was partly because I felt as though it was difficult to make out the details of the environments for the pictures, etc. Maybe I was just too sleepy that night.
