I really want one but I dont get why they are doing some things, great we can get 3G but you cant play games over 3G so your basically only using the 3G for internet access which your phone will have anyway.

I hope it does have flash otherwise its not really going to be any good for going on the internet, and makes the 3G totally pointless, a little disappointed you cant pair with a phone but most gadgets dont let you do that anymore, dont know if its a security thing or a money making thing.

Biggest downside though is the gamesaves are on the game card, hate that when I play ds I can only have 1 save, PS might be better and give you a few slots but its still going to be limited im sure, it also doesnt really allow much space for add ons or patches and patches on games are more common than not.

your right randy the 3G as a selling point is really only gonna attract those who use a lot of "social Networking" as that is the only plus side to having the 3G as i know for a fact it won't be able to cope with the online gameplay requirments

Unless their up to something

Anyone think the 3G will be free? I have read some speculation that it might be like the kindle. The kindle has 3G and its free to use. Ok your only downloading books with it. But what are you going to do with the PSVita? As we have all ready covered we can't play online games with it. The only real thing we could do over 3G is web surfing and messaging friends and maybe using the party chat feature.

Could be free ocelot but who knows

Not pre-ordered one yet, as still undecided which to go for, due to a poor 3G around my area. I guess it be WiFi only,

[ligtningrod1]

I still can't decide on 3G or wifi, not many places to get 3G here its spotty at best I like the idea of it but still not enough info on the carrier yet, Maybe at gamescon.

lightning i suggest the wifi model as 3G is more in my eyes for social media i.e FB twitter etc on the go as i dont think 3G would support online gaming

[Loco311]

If I get one its gonna be Wifi, I'm not pating fifty quid extra to not use 3G, I can't see gaming over 3G happening on the vita, as has been mentioned most people will use it for social networking (which your phone can probably do anyway).

Out of interest, how many people actually use portable games consoles out and about? I don't think I've ever seen anyone use one publically over the age of about 10.
