I am guessing the deals have all expired?

Looks like it. I'd like to get the bundle for the same price as I apparently won Playstation All Stars from a twitter contest, but it would just add more stuff to my already huge backlog...

ah well worth the try.

Just seems a little low to me. Yes, it was free, but it's nice to sell the code to offset the price of the bundle. Hell, selling it at $20 is still half off.

I don't see where the problem in selling something you got free. It happens all the time, especially here on CAG.

I bought the bundle and then find out I won PlayStation All-Stars from the Twitter contest too. Makes me glad I did not redeem the code Amazon gave me.

There's nothing wrong selling with something you got "free". It was part of the bundle, you paid money to acquire the item, and people are successfully selling the codes for $20+, so why would you charge less? It would be nice of you I guess, but not shouldn't be expected of you by any means.

With all these bundles, I'm surprised that there aren't more sales on Vita games. We all have our Vitas, now where are the sales?

Also, I need an All Stars Code for the BF...

I got two free games with the bundle plus another five from PS+. No need to buy any more games atm.

Maybe next Black Friday I can get a memory card

I love this thing aside from that though. Really hope it gets some support next year because the Vita itself is awesome.

I got my codes yesterday. Already sold the PSABRARSRRSSASA code. I don't see the problem with selling a code. CAG marketplace is full of them. I say it just makes CAG all the more awesome.

I just used the free prime 2-day shipping and it says it's estimated delivery is wednesday but the tracking says it's out for delivery today. So, glad I didn't upgrade shipping.

This is how I feel. It's a game that retails for $40. Who cares what we paid for it. The important part is what it's worth. And that's what people are willing to pay. Check ebay and you'll see these codes are selling for up to $35. So $20 isn't really all that outrageous.

WOW the 3g model just sold out instantly!?! is it that much of an improvement over wi-fi one?

Amazon has another lightning deal on a 4GB Memory Card going on right now... Not sure having 2 4GBs will really make a difference. I doubt I'll actually take my Vita out much anyway.

I noticed the 3G Vita selling out near-instantly too. Nope, it's not really an improvement over the Wi-Fi one. The AC3 bundle they had was a FAR better deal and it lasted for at least 5 hours lol. I don't think a true CAG would waste money on the 3G plans for Vita.

That's what I assumed. My guess is they had a very low amount left. All this dumping of product makes me nervous that they're going to release a PSV-go or some non-sense that will completely destroy any shot the vita might have just gained.

Yep, I have a 3G Vita and there is no reason to get one over a WiFi one. I turned off the 3G feature the first day I got it, had no plans to ever sign up with AT&T for their data plan. I only got the 3G one because they sweetened the deal just before launch by bundling some extra stuff with it.

And while I tried to resist, couldn't stop from ordering a white AC bundle from Amazon, that deal was beyond too good. So I'll have a backup Vita in case anything happens to the original, plus I got AC and All Stars, and 3 more months of Plus. Killer deal.

Too funny. If it were "free", everyone would have been able to get one. It was part of a bundle that cost $179.99. Break it down how you like, but I and everyone else that have those codes had to pay $179.99 to get them. Something is only free if there is absolutely no cost involved. Just like B2G1 sales are promotions. You don't receive anything for free. You are given the opportunity to purchase 3 games at a discounted price.

You couldn't be any more incorrect. The bundle is $250. I paid $250 for it on launch day.

The black Friday sale made the bundle $200. The lightning deal made it $180. You aren't paying for shit, they're basically paying you to take the game.

Well, if Amazon were "basically paying" one to take the game, you should have had them pay you.

I have to chime in here. As a value conscious consumer, I did not buy a vita at $249 at launch, so that's not my price. Amazon didn't give me sh1t, I beleived that the total package they offered me was worth the $180 I paid for it. The TOTAL package. I would not have bought it otherwise. They did me no favor and I considered none of it to be free. After all, I paid $180 dollars for the package. As a consumer, I did them a favor by purchasing from their storefront instead of the competition. They are an incredibly successfuly business that's not in the habit of losing money. They did just fine and I'm allowed to do whatever the heck I want with my total package I bought. Your opinion be damned.

G~

G, would you have not bought the $180 bundle even if it didn't come with All Stars?
