Here's hoping I can get one free with my next phone contract in May. That's how I got my PS3

[Mad-Ice]

Thanks Charlie, my money is already reserved. I wish it was february already.

@Colonel: of course it will be great to get the vita together with your phone contract in may but, to be able to discovery the new Wipeout together with everyone else right at the start is so much fun. If you have the money just buy it immediately when it launches, so you can be there right from the start.

[Colonel]

Believe me I would, but I'm supposed to be saviing for a weddding, and my fiance would be less than thrilled with me going out and spending £229 on a handheld games console

[DJ Techno]

Tell your hunny, you spending this and only that on you, while spending the amount of money for the honeymoon trip and more. Cost more than a handheld console and you will share it with her, when not busy playing on it over and over and over

[mdhay]

This is good timing, if nothing else.

Looks like the Aussie price is on parity with the Europe price.

But the American Vita base model is going for 250 USD isn't it? Still paying a 100 dollar 'Australian tax'

Finally I get to know a release game for the PS Vita.

Can't wait to lay my hands on WipEout 2048

[MyNameIsBom]

$599 NZ dollars?! Really? Nah I'd be better off getting a ps3 slim 320 GB for $549 and comes with Resistance 3 with HDMI cable or the PlayStation Move pack.

But I won't be able to play WipEout 2048 Oh well WipEout HD fury it is

[rdmx]

AUD$349.95 and NZD$449.95 for wifi only model.

You could import from Australia? Or are there laws against that?
