Hit the nail on the head, what's the point when your phone can be used for 3G with a better browser while saving battery life for actual gaming on the PS Vita. If you are so desperate just tether it, most on here must have really decent phones if they are getting the Vita day one so can do so. It's not a matter of affording it, it's just a waste of money. It's a gaming device not a silly small games and internet device - my mobile does that and much better.

It maybe a waste of money in your opinion but it's not in mine. You may not want to use the Internet features on the go but others like me do. You obviously don't get what the 3G and Wi-Fi is for. It you don't want to get the most out of your games on the go it's your loss. I for one want access to not only the social networking but also the game related features found in titles like Warrior's Lair, LittleBigPlanet, MLB, Modnation Racers and probably many other games in the future. If you don't want the full gaming experience then so be it. Tethering is pointless as its not only impractical but it uses both the Vita's and the phones battery at the same time. Not to mention I would have to pay £5 a month more for it. I rather just spend that £5 to have a direct 3G connection. The GPS will also come in handy too. Having used both the Wi-Fi and 3G iPads for location based services the 3G model is a lot more accurate. The same will apply to the Vita.

Do you know what the 3G-features in Warrior's Lair will be? I seemed to have missed the announcement.

I can't find the interview that included this information. It was proabably one of the CES videos which had a fair bit of stuff in it. Anyway, it struck me like a fighting version of Animal Crossing 8)

Besides the dungeon crawling gameplay, you gradually build up your Lair with stuff you captured, but others can invade your Lair and try to steal stuff. 3G means you'll get to know this is about to happen whereever you are.

Personally, I don't think I'm interested because I don't like hack n slashers but some people seem quite excited for it.

It's not like Animal Crossing. It's basically an action RGP like Diablo, Dungeon Siege, Dungeon Hunter Alliance, Untold Legends, Torch Light etc.

I do love how people come out with GPS, everyone's phone can do it with perfect accuracy, it's used for drivers mainly (like me), who would use a massive gaming device for that! The 3G is possibly good if you have moantains of money but I don't want to fork out lots of money on games just because they have 3G exclusive mini games, i'll play angry birds or something...sure they will be more fun too. This is a gaming device and all reviews and feedback I've seen is that the social aspects are crap on the device. Some people will regret it, unless you're made of money (or your parents) then fair enough. I'm only putting my point across to people who want to save money.

You obviously don't get and aren't prepared to understand what the Internet based features are. Maybe you should do some more research before forming your opinion. Anyway if you don't want the full gaming experience it's your loss. If you don't want to get the 3G model so be it. Others who do want to take advantage of all the cool and valuable features it provides now and all the ones in the future will get it. At the end of the day I was going to but Wipeout anyway. If I get it free with the 3G model them it's only going to cost me around £20 more. To me it's worth it if only to be future proof. I have no intention of wasting my time with tethering.

I wouldn't know about those games since I never played them.

However, in Animal Crossing you bought a house, put stuff in it and invited friends into your game to take a look at it. I was (jokingly) implying that this was a non-fighting version of the Lair building in Warriors Lair.

To contrast in Warrior's Lair, you build your Lair, lay traps, place stuff in it that gives you power and people (invited or otherwise) come in and can take stuff. See the similarity?

I get where you're coming from but I've played Animal Crossing as well as all the games I mentioned and Animal Crossing is very different. Warrior's Lair is I'm essence a roleplaying game. Animal Crossing is a game where you grow and sell crops, have a house, invite other players over. There is no fighting, levelling up, upgrading weapons, using magic etc.
