Can we expect a story about vita prices next week? It’s not because we want to nag, it’s just because we need to know if it fit’s our budget! CAN’T WAIT TILL THE 22ND!

Will the EU Vita store go up early like the US one did? The US one opened up a week before the early bundle. Would be sweet to see the EU store go up a week before the release on the 22nd.

Can we expect a new music visualisation for PS3 (I assume Vita will have some as well) in the near future?

Any upcoming Binary Domain posts from SEGA in the coming weeks? They usually promote the Yakuza series on here quite a lot and it’s from the same developer and publisher but SEGA seem to have been quite quiet about it.
Like everyone else I’m also excited for the Vita launch, not long now

Can some blog manager or moderator confirm why we don`t have any 3G bundles yet at least in UK? I pre-ordered 3G version, later many WIFI Vita bundles announces with memory cards and free games, and also hear that if you buy from Vodafone store you get a game and a memory card too, but nothing from the game stores yet! We are are a loyal PS gamers, buy pre-ordering a staff we should get some privileges not the middle finger. It is just enough to know if there will be any 3G bundles on launch or not?

@6 I know Amazon have a great 3G offer going, 3G/Wifi Vita, 8gb memory card and a selected game from a list of 6 for £264.99. Here’s the link (if it doesn’t get removed) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Vita-Wi-Fi-3G/dp/B004ISLDVA/ref=sr_1_3_det?ie=UTF8&qid=1328968677&sr=8-3
@7 That person most likely got his Vita shipped overseas from Japan which launched over there back in December.
I have a question myself which I hope I can word right haha. Will PS+’ers be able to jump straight on Far Cry 2 if they download the full game trial today then the full game unlock which will be free for PS+ on Wednesday?

@7: Could also be a store error. The place I pre-ordered my Vita did a mistake and shipped it a couple of days ago so that I got it yesterday. Though without games or a memory card…. But it was sweet nevertheless to be able to set it up pre-launch

@ShiptarPsycho
As Alex-1124 said Amazon is a good choice at £264.99.
Another is Gamestop.co.uk. It has a 3G vita, a 16gb memory card and a choice of games which include Uncharted as Amazon don’t seen to do. This is £325.99 with delivery.
Play.com has the same offer as Gamestop but with a 8gb memory card for £324.99.
If you want a deal Amazon is a good bet. If you have some coin to invest I would go with Gamestop. A 16gb card will last a long time compared to the 8gb and Uncharted is a good choice.

Thanks for the link to Amazon bundle offer, I originally had my 3G Vita pre-ordered with Amazon but cancelled when I realised you don’t get the pre-order bundle off them and went with Play.com
Now since I pre-ordered with Play I’ve been keeping a close eye on the prices as mine is a bundle of £324.99 with a 8gb memory card and Fifa. As such I probably wouldn’t receive any further discounts. I had a further dig around PLay after your post and found that they are now offering a Vita + free 8gb memory card at £268.99. so now I’ve cancelled another pre-order and added Fifa to that making me a saving of £16 ahead of my previous bundle (add to that the free pre-order pack which Amazon don’t offer.
So this is me happy again.
Link for the play.com offer below.

Hi James,
I will just keep on asking if you don’t mind. I still have high hopes for a release of MLB ths show in the Europe territory! Do you know who could make this happen?
Even if this won’t be possible a blogpost about the game would be nice. Just to show off what a Playstation exclusive baseball game has to offer!
