Excuse my ignorance, but is there any region locking or sim lock on the unit? Thanks.

I got my 3g one from amazon.de. I can confirm there are no problems with games or the psn or anything like that when using it in Aus. I haven't used the 3g side if It however. One thing you should know is some games you get from Germany are completely in German. I got resistance and it has no English (that I can find). I have also heard fifa is the same.

Shipping took about about 4 weeks from the date of order.

    See other thread and look at other people's experience - some get it in 4 days others wait longer.

      Haha sausage, we've already got people here saying it takes a month.
    - Gallifrey on 09/08/2012 - 15:51 ¶
      
      Yes, so what. Out of 100 people 95 get it within a week. The other 5 are just unlucky. Still so much better than anything in OZ where I can wait a week for a letter from Sydney to Brisbane.

Any issues with 3g? Is it locked or can you use an Australian sim card?

And does the charger fit in Australian sockets?

thelastnoob on 05/08/2012 - 11:28 ¶

the charger has a detachable part that you connect an 8 ring connector which is a very common cable. i got this deal the last time well worth the monies

If you have ordered from them last week are you able to get them refund the price difference?
- +7 votes
  
  Cluster on 05/08/2012 - 12:03 ¶
  
  This issue comes up reasonably often. You accepted last week's price and decided to buy. Why should you get a discount because the price was lowered after your purchase? You can cancel Amazon orders before they are shipped but afterwards there's nothing you can do.
  - +5 votes
    
    wildstone on 05/08/2012 - 12:16 ¶
    
    There's no reason why they should refund the difference, merely asking because some stores do offer price protection, for example Kogan.
    - antwill on 05/08/2012 - 22:42 ¶
      
      Amazon does it for pre-orders. But surely your orders shipped if you bought it last week?

  francis.tks on 05/08/2012 - 13:16 ¶
  
  They might but they will reply you in german xP
  Anyways, people do that for the US amazon page(most of them successful) so I would say no harm trying. My friends did it last time and it worked out fine.
  - koreainhyuk on 05/08/2012 - 15:12 ¶
    
    Nope if you politely tell them you can't speak German, they can respond in English :P
    
    At least they did when I got my vita from previous deal.

      The Germans are known for their friendly nature. Right?….
    - Gallifrey on 07/08/2012 - 09:04 ¶
      
      In fact, they are very friendly. Friendlier than the Aussies in stores in my experience. With the Aussies, once you have bought, they have no more interest in you.
- lostn on 05/08/2012 - 14:08 ¶
  
  Amazon used to do 30 day price protection but they no longer do that.
  
  However if you preorder an item before it releases and its price drops before its release date it automatically gives you the lower price.
  - garratt torlesse on 05/08/2012 - 16:07 ¶
    
    But there is no harm in trying, it's no longer an official policy but some people are still getting refund of the difference.
Foma2 on 05/08/2012 - 12:55 ¶

I am just wondering how I can purchase from the Web site in German.
It is a bit tricky for me.

  I use google chrome - can translate the site in english

Im tempted to get it… but i dont need one. But all those games sitting on my PSN for no good! Argh…
doggykit on 05/08/2012 - 14:08 ¶

Good deal for the people that missed out on the time they were $240 including a 8GB memory card and a game.

Still a very good deal

is the 3g free like the kindle? if so can it be used to browse etc?
- Merlict on 05/08/2012 - 14:34 ¶
  
  Nope, BYO SIM card.
  
  I don't know if you can tether it to a smartphone instead, might be a better bet

i got one of these from amazon Germany last time they had 8gb and a game sale
if you are planning on getting a game from amazon Germany go with Rayman Origins, can confirm has 100% English Language.

  Anybody know if Lumines on Amazon.de is only in German, or also has English?

    Zadax message me on psn or wp if you're interested in my copy. I don't play it much.
groook on 05/08/2012 - 19:05 ¶

Ordered one, any deals on the memory cards getting around?

Best I can find is $52 for the 16gb and $82 for the 32gb on ebay
Grimr on 05/08/2012 - 20:15 ¶

Are there any good games due to come out for it? I was looking at Gamefaqs and there was maybe 1 or 2 Sony games that stood out and not much else. HELP I need a good reason to get one of these to add to my pile of unused handhelds!

  Ragnorok Odyssey this month.

BioShock, Kill zone, YS, Soul Sacrifice, Phantasy Star Online 2 and Jet Set Radio are all all confirmed.

    LBP Karting, is not coming to the Vita, and isn't even planned to. Sly Cooper doesn't even have a release date so you should probably move it to the 'confirmed' section for now.

    A bunch of console ports, then. I think it may be a mistake to be putting console type games on a handheld.
    - beakeroo on 06/08/2012 - 07:43 ¶
      
      Ragnorok, AC Liberation, Black Ops Declassified, Soul Sacrifice and LBP are not ports at all.
Alienzzz on 06/08/2012 - 13:15 ¶

Hey dont get it if you live somewhere hot or take it to hot places. Operating Environment Temperature 5 - 35 degrees. I find that odd hiw that is stated in specifications, maybe I never noticed it for other things before?!! What age is this good for? I was thinking maybe for my sons 7th bday instead of bulky nintendo dsi xl 3d..
- beakeroo on 06/08/2012 - 13:41 ¶
  
  I live somewhere hot and my vita is usually in my ute for my lunch break (tradie) and I've never had a problem with overheating or even hot.
  
  I'd say get the kid a 3DS tbh. The games on Vita are aimed more towards teens/adults whereas Nintendo are more family orientated.
beatlock on 06/08/2012 - 13:19 ¶

Does it say 199.97 EURO Wifi and 246.34 EURO for everyone?

Not sure if less-tax the prices even out a bit more but it looks like 3G is now 40 EURO more than wifi?
- beatlock on 06/08/2012 - 13:28 ¶
  
  Just checked, 3G + Wifi version is now around $260 AUD shipped
  
  And also if anyone cant be bothered translating if you hover over the links the url path usually indicates what it means i.e. print order receipt

If you buy between 1 and 31 August 2012 you can upload your receipt to www.meine-psvita.de and register there and then you get the game FIFA Football as a download for free
Has to register by 13 September 2012.
- ennisfargis on 18/08/2012 - 12:50 ¶
  
  Has anyone got the free FIFA game?
  I went through the whole process & at the end it said (translated)
  
  "Congratulations, you made it. We now check your details and
  if you're lucky, you will receive at the end of the promotional period download your voucher by mail
  and you can download for free from the FIFA FOOTBALL PSN."
  
  Does that mean they will send the code in the post to my dodgy German address?
  Or maybe the translation is not accurate?
  Time will tell I guess.
Gallifrey on 07/08/2012 - 10:35 ¶

You should put the free game in the post - makes the deal more attractive and better value for money.
