Damn seeing the Vita section in the PlayStation store just makes me want one more :(

Yeah the lineup is pretty damn good for launch! Much more appealing than the PSP that's for sure.

anyone have a Vita ship from Amazon US yet? this is bothering me...

Yep, got the email around 2 PM today that it would arrive tomorrow. (Y)

Larry are your Vita impressions going to feature on a NW podcast?

Absolutely. We record next episode sometime next week, so no doubt at all, as I have been talking about it in some shape, form or fashion the past 2-3 episodes.

EDIT - Weird, no Vita section on the PSN store for me?

I was actually holding off on buying the Vita games as I was just going to purchase them from my Vita, so guess that is what I will wind up doing anyway.

So I'm assuming that Motorstorm is showing normally in the PS3 store (was hoping to download and play some at work but not showing on the Vita PSN Store)?

Got my confirmation from Amazon that Uncharted shipped, so I'm excited for that thing to arrive. Think I've played as much Little Deviants as I ever will so I'll probably stop by tomorrow to trade that in and pick up something else. Trying to decide between Rayman Origins or waiting for Unit 13 to be released. Really was hoping Modnation would be better as I was going to pick that up but the reviews haven't been great and I don't want to deal with long load times on my handheld.

Just unpacked all of my Vita stuff in preparation of tomorrow. Have my 2 memory cards (4GB and 32GB) plus 4 games (2 rented |Uncharted & Rayman|), 2 owned |Wipeout & Hot Shots|) in my nifty starter kit game and memory card carrying case.

Have my online activation card codes ready for Wipeout and Hot Shots Golf.

Have my protective cover ready to be applied.

Going to purchase 3 games from the PSN... Escape Plan, Super Stardust Delta, & Motorstorm RC.

About to plug the charging cradle in so it is ready to house the Vita (oh yeah, forgot to add to the thread that I purchased one of those a few days ago :shiftyninja: ).

Cannot wait to get home from work tomorrow.

Only downside is once I get home from work, my puppy needs a good hour of my attention before he settles down, but I figure the Vita can charge, do whatever updates it needs to do anyway, so not a total loss.

My biggest problem right now, is what the hell do I actually play first? So things could be much worse.

I am going to eventually get a real case for it too, the soft case the starter kit came with is good to keep dust off, etc., but is not going to protect it whatsoever.

Pfft! After receiving an email from Play.com on Monday stating my Vita is ready to ship on Tuesday for delivery today. I've just checked my account and it's still 'Processing in Warehouse' Grrrr! :angry:

Scan.co.uk appears to be selling units in the UK right now:

Wifi Only: (?221.99) http://www.scan.co.u...wifi-only-black

3G, Voda Sim ready: (?263.99) http://www.scan.co.u...-sim-card-ready

I know on the actual pages they don't list the price but on the home page it lists the prices of both. I don't know why they don't list it on the actual product pages but I imagine to order you need to phone them and then they will tell you how long it will take for it to come or something.

That is weird? At the top of the PSN store menu where it usually says "Playstation Plus" it says "Playstation Vita" on the UK store?

I'm heading off to Uni in an hour, praying the postman comes before then as I'll be away all day :p

PS Vita and Uncharted not here, despite the tracking saying that it has been on a van since 1:30 this morning. :(

Just a FYI for anyone getting the 3G version, I found out via twitter that the Vodafone SIM Card in the box is not activated, so you will have to phone up Vodafone before you start using the 3G Vita so that they can activate the SIM Card.

PLAY are terrible for shipping, I'd only ever use them for cheap games, not hardware :p

Same, I got some earphones from them and they took two weeks to get here.

Haha. It's not all bad. Just got a very apologetic email from Play. They couldn't ship yesterday due to a 'technical issue' but have shipped today for delivery tomorrow. They also gave me a ?20 discount code to use on a future order. I'm sure I can wait until tomorrow now. :)

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
