Gaming One Mans Struggle In Getting A Playstation Vita

I've had a lot of bad in getting a PlayStation Vita. I'll explain right now, I bought one from Ebay a few weeks ago, and also bought the game Gravity Rush for it. It was a good price, so I was hoping to recieve the week coming up. I'm afraid it didn't arrive as the seller told me City Link, the guys he gave it to to be sent off lost track of the package. I got a refund from the seller, then yesterday he told me the Vita was sent back to him. I didn't want him to send it again, so it was all done and dusted, he got his Vita back, I got my refund. I then went to Amazon to try my luck there, I bought one, then later on I got an email to tell me they were out of stock,! *Groan* so then I looked for another on Amazon, and found another, ordered it. The seller told me the Vita was sent today, and could be with me tomorrow. I dearly hope it arrives, and doesn't get lost. One Mans Struggle In Getting A PlayStation Vita, indeed!! It better be worth it.

has the price come down at all now?

I liked the look of it as a bit of kit, but wasn't impressed with the early games, and the price was way too high for my liking, especially once you factor in ANOTHER propriety format memory stick that's expensive, and the cost of the games themselves...

Hope you get it and enjoy it btw, if there's some games that appeal to you and you're happy enough with the price, good luck

How much did you pay for the Vita?

I feel the pain, i went out to buy a new tv for my room, i was eying up a 32" LG from Currys, i went over and they where closing but the dude inside explained to me that the one i wanted they wherent able to sell me as of new Irish laws and tv's needing a thing call Saorview. So i left and went over the PC world the next day as he had told me they have other TV's similar to that one in stock, i arrived and it turns out they only have the ones on show and none in the store room, she checked her computer and told me they had some in a different PC World about an hour and half drive away, so being in the mood for buying a TV i drove out to the other PC world. They checked their system and... NOPE, none but they told me the PC World i had just come from had them?!?!! Soooooo being in an angry mood, i just bought another tv for an extra 100...

Pain in the ball-sack trying to buy a TV from people with no clue.

The moment when you realise that both PC World stores are saying the other has the TV in stock

Wouldn't of been so bad for you if the other PC World was only 5/10 minutes away and not an hour and a half.

Yup, thats exactly what they where doing! And the first PC world had the one TV on show, which they are suppose to sell off since its the last in stock, but the stupid bitch clearly had no clue!

Yah there was about 3 or 4 PC world shops in between mine and the other, but none had them in stock.

Oh well, its over and done with and i got a better picture TV in the end. How people like them get hired is beyond me!

Is it not possible to buy one... at a shop?

I know mate, let's you've got a better TV now in the end. From PC World?

I got a Vita for £170 quid. Usually a Vita is 240 quid, with 8 GB Memory card etc.

New?

I went for one that has been used. I really don't mind that. Hope to get it soon to see how it is.

theres no good games yet except fifa so dont rush it.

does the vita have a tv-out, so you could play it on the tv if you wanted to? I know all psp's after 2nd gen did

I got the Vita! I just tried Gravity Rush, awesome game so far. I don't know about that HD, not that I know of.

congrats! hope you enjoy it!

and, ah :/

portable hd console I could plug in to a tv would have been a dealbreaker for me :/

I can't see that image, checked the url. Uncharted is one game that's a good looker etc.
