PS Vita pre-order deals.

Thought i'd start a thread for all those who are keeping an eye out for a good PS Vita pre-order deal. I couldn't see a thread for this in search and i can't be the only one looking!

There seem to be a few around the £219 price (toys-r-us, Zavvi and Hut), with some on hotukdeals saying that they got a further 10% off with a person specific code sent in an email entitled 'We Miss you'. Not sure if these codes will be honoured at point of sale though.

Personally, i'd like to see a tesco pre-order deal, with useable codes...of course!!!

Feel free to post any deals as and when seen.

Thanks
November wins...a book, a designer handbag (worth £550 :T) and a game. I am now an addict and thank everyone for taking the time to share and post. :D

  • the best i can find is toysrus at £214.99 with no cashback or Zavvi at £219 with 2% quidco cashback. None of the vouchers seem to work for anything that is classified as a 'pre-order'

    I have an email code and its not working.

    The memory cards and games seem to be cheaper at asda though.
    It only takes a second to say 'Thanks, you just saved me a few quid!'

    £259.98 for PS Vita Wifi with 4G memory card (you will need a mem card) and a game

    Just a note:
    Nobody really needs the 3G one if they have a smartphone, as that will work well as a wi hotspot for your PS Vita , should you need it.

    So my Xperia play will act as the hotspot for my psvita. so I changed my pre order from the wifi+3g model to the wifi only model.

    And don't forget the game reward points aswell. I have £20 saved up on mine, and a trade in card from my pre xmas clearout with £85 on it, so my Vita wont cost me too much at all!

    GAME shops also do an extra £1 per trade in if you have one of their bags from the store.

    In Bourneouth, the Game promises to beat the trade in value of any other shop (CEX and Gamestation) within a 1 mile radius. Worked well for me, even if I did cause a massive que up behind me at christmas rush shopping time :)

    Shopto have by far the best deals I can find

    http://www.shopto.net/PSP/HARDWARE/

    Wifi Vita for £209.84, or bundles from £218.84. All pre-orders also come with a free starter kit (headphones and some download codes)
  • Morrisons have a good deal... PS Vita console, FIFA, 4gb memory card, preorder pack + a £25 morrisons gift voucher for £250 so when taking into account the voucher you get it for £225. I preordered mine in Morrisons two days, I think the last day for preorders there is today

    Good spot Big Bear. I would ask if they have it with any other games, but I won't be able to get there today anyway....

    Play have the Wifi model with 8gb memory card and preorder pack for £212.99

  • This is the best deal I have seen.
    I got
    PS Vita WIFI
    8GB Card
    Rayman Origins for £227.

    There are a couple of other game options.

    Could have gotten it for £225 if I went for 3-5 day delivery but my son who this is for might have fallen out with me. I should really think about getting Amazon Prime given how much I order.


    Now just have to cancel my tescoDirect order which was £40 more. Even with cashback this is still a much better deal.
    So much for ordering early! Originally I ordered from local GameSpot but they closed in Northern Irelan so got a refund (I still have the pre order pack though - it is not worth much). The price of the PS Vita just keeps dropping, Tesco had already sent me an e-mail with a lower cost bundle though it was with a 4GB memory card.

    MSE won't let me post the link as I am a new contributor so search on "playstation vita bundle offer" and it should appear at the top of the list above option 1

    http://www.gamestop.co.uk/core/common/Default.aspx?quickSearch=PS%20Vita:

    PS Vita Wifi + pre-order pack £199.99 at Zavvi eBay Outlet Item number: 330684916752. This offer expires 22/02/2012.

    The following might be helpful to some as well:

    And:

    PS Vita £219.99 with a £40 voucher to spend on Playstation Network at the Sony Centre. Offer expires 23/02/2012. And apparently they also price match, not online offers though. Might be handy if you want the £40 PSN voucher as this will also be included with any price match, including bundles.

    I see amazon are doing the wifi one for £210 with a free 8GB card and one of 5 games for an additional £15. Best of the bunch seems to be lumines but that doesn't look too different from the psp offering.

    Anyone seen a good deal on the 16GB cards? My son really wants one of those (despite my suggestions that he waits before throwing his money at it)
