OK here goes. And just to forewarn you, several are multiplatform games but, in my opinion, play best on the Vita:

Tearaway - looks good, plays well, oozes charm and is one of the few that actually use all the Vita's extra features effectively without feeling forced.

Virtue's Last Reward - totally crazy puzzle/adventure/dialogue-driven murder mystery game. Deep and complex story with some really interesting characters and puzzles. If you stick with it it will really reward you.

Wipeout 2048 - if you've played a wipeout game you know what to expect, but for a handheld game it looks gorgeous and plays really bl00dy well.

TxK - another insane game, but this time an arcade shooter though not like any you've played before I'd wager (watch a video to see what I mean). It's incredibly challenging and, most notably, totally visually overstimulating. Not to everyone's taste but I absolutely loved it.

Gravity Rush - I didn't finish this one (mainly because it's really long) but it's a fully AAA, console-quality action adventure game with a really cool art style, some interesting mechanics (gravity shifting) and a hokey but robust story. One of the console's most popular.

Sine Mora - this is one of my favourites. Old-school style side-scrolling shooter but with a really cool art style, some majorly satisfying weapons and well-designed levels with varied bosses. Plus overall it's really, really tough and unforgiving. Some of the hardest trophies I've ever earned.

Rayman Origins - utterly delightful platforming game that you may have played on other consoles (and the sequel, Legends). Just looks and plays so well on the handheld.

Lone Survivor - kinda hard to describe, but basically it's a story-driven, retro 2D survival horror game. It's pretty dang scary with the lights off and headphones on and that, along with how the game progresses, can make you feel like you're going mad. Not to everyone's taste but I found it gripping.

Hotline Miami - brutal, gory top-down brawler that was gradually released on multiple platforms but looks and feels so good with the Vita's OLED screen and dual analogue sticks. Really challenging, but once you get good at it, breezing through levels full of enemies is so satisfying. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you don't mind the OTT violence!

Spelunky - notoriously difficult and punishing platforming game where you have to work your way through randomly generated dungeons rescuing damsels, whipping snakes and evading devious traps. You die really easily and when you do you're sent right back to the start, which can be infuriating, but again once you get good at it it becomes really satisfying.

Virtua Tennis 4 - yes, a tennis game. By no means my usual thing but I just couldn't put it down. It looks really good, the campaign mode is surprisingly fleshed out, the tennis mechanics work well and there is A LOT of content. Which is especially good since I got a hard copy new for £4.

Muramasa Rebirth - side-scrolling hack and slash game with a hokey samurai legend story, bizarre enemies and bosses and a gorgeous Japanese art style.

Guacamelee - another side-scrolling platformer, but with a really cool mexican luchador theme/story. The combat works really well and the level design and writing is top-quality.

That should do for now. I'm playing Persona 4 at the moment (many would agree it's the best game on the Vita) so can't give a full recommendation. Quite a few popular games that I didn't like might take your fancy (Uncharted Golden Abyss, Soul Sacrifice, Unit 13, Dokuro, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, Disgaea 3). Also quite a few that I haven't played yet but I'm looking forward to trying, like Killzone Mercenaries, Touch My Katamari, Super Stardust Delta, Dragon's Crown, Fez, Metrico, Danganronpa, Stealth Inc, Sly Cooper and a few collected classics (Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, God of War). There are also a huge heap of PSP/PS1 games that you can play on the Vita. I've only played a couple (Resident Evil 2 + 3, Crash Team Racing and Silent Hill) so can't say they're all faithfully ported, but those certainly play well and are a real nostalgic treat. Not only that but you can remote play PS4 games!

All in all, the Vita is a gem. Criminally under-appreciated and misunderstood. To be fair Sony have failed to market it effectively in the west and just make no effort to raise awareness of all the great games available to play natively on it. I hope it doesn't die a premature death as some seem to think it will, but if it does, it will have certainly have given me a good run for my money.

Hope that helps.

Yes the codes will work on a UK PSN account :smiley:

Wow! I've not had an update since the estimated delivery email for the 3rd of March

Received today, thanks very much.

I was first to order before submitting this deal on here. They gave me delivery date of Tuesday but arrived Monday morning

The code for the ten games will work on a UK PSN account, right?

Same here! :smile:

Whoop mine shipped!

This thursday for delivery.

Just received an email saying delivery this Thursday by UPS with tracking info.

Nice.

Just spoke to their support via chat. Apparently they'll ship them from the 28th onwards, as they ran out of stock... That includes both new orders and 90% of those made within the last week.

Nah, says it is waiting to dispatch and I assume because I need to "request" a cancellation that something is happening. I hope so anyway.

Anyone get theirs dispatched yet?

Cannibalwombat thank you for the paragraph. Will be sure to check them out :wink:

Many many thanks for the list! Now I certainly know where to start!

If they do...we riot :smiley:

I received email earlier expected delivery for Tuesday 24th Feb

Ordered cheers. But also getting same delivery message as above...

Same here... Bought it when there was stock, then saw a "Stock arriving on the 23rd" warning, and now, nothing at all. Wonder if they'll cancel a bunch of orders like they have in the past...

Has anyone got an expected delivery date?

Mine just says no info available and they will email when they know.

I 2nd that :wink:. I bought this deal, looking at the Uncharted and Killzone vita games, tales of hearts and parasite eve I think its called. Would love some suggestions :smiley:

Please do!

Happy to offer a pretty long list of recommendations if you like! :smiley:

i bought this last time, no issues.

Expired

price has gone up to €157.13

it was there till i tried to put it in my basket now it seems to be gone

Comment

Thought so. People shouldn't really be put off by the european adaptor

Yeah slim version has micro usb charging

My order was received about a week and a half earlier than expected but that was Christmas time so that may have made a difference.

ja

By one day, if that. When I bought my LG G3, they were quite a pain to deal with, and took FOREVER to actually dispatch it. They are nothing like the UK Amazon, at least in my experience.

Estimated delivery 6th March? People that have ordered before, did you receive it quicker than the estimated time given?

Have ordered this in the past had no problem console spot on and arrived on time.

"Vereinigtes Königreich"

Is it ok it says that in my address for United Kingdom?

Thanks, ordered :sunglasses:
Currently have a 'phat' but have been after a slim since using one, find it my comfortable to use and the longer lasting battery is a huge plus. Cheers

Isn't this charged with a micro usb?

Just bought...... Well happy for only £90.53

Your discount code doesn't work.

The United Kingdom address part of my address is in german, is that ok for getting posted here?

Anyone want to try my 10 euro discount, not sure if email specific:

GWFW-66TBHL-YKSYGC

Totally agree. We have an old one and a new one in our household. The oled is richer to the point of being over saturated if anything, the lcd is slightly sharper but the actual difference between the 2 screens is minimal and to be honest you're not going to notice a difference when gaming. I'd say the slim if anything is a slightly better option as it's lighter, slimmer with better battery life and charges over micro usb.

Commentthanks

I got one of these for my son from Amazon.de just before Christmas and paid £86. it's a fantastic price and purchase and I would recommend. You just need to buy an English plug which are available on Amazon for a couple of pounds. Otherwise no different from what you would buy in shops here. Only minor downside is the 8gb memory card can't hold all 10 free games. But my son wasn't bothered!

I'd rather have the new model. Looked at them dogs by side and the oled is slightly richer but it makes zero difference. Add the beget battery life, easier and more comfortable makes the new a step forwards not backwards as some Internet geeks would have us believe

Gone for one, thanks!

I requested it unexpired and price updated.

Can somebody unexpire this deal as it is still on

Thanks OP - Amazon.de recently sent me a EUR10 voucher that I thought I'd have no use for. Comes in perfect for this! :-)

Purchased! Thanks

Still in stock

Njjaiihquuu
Kiwi

Yep, they were just out of stock in Amazon warehouse. The higher price was a third party seller. Amazons back in stock now 111.94 Euros

is the price back down again

It's back on and available 111.94 Euros :smiley:

If I had a £50 Amazon voucher can you use it on the German Amazon?

Bought from amazon.de for 99 Euros last year. There don't seem to be many decent games for the PS Vita. It will charge from a regular microusb charger.

I think with the whole OLED vs LCD, Slim vs 3G etc debates...when you're getting it for this price then its hard to care which model haha :innocent:. So long as it does the business.

Where? When I scroll down I see:

PS Vita ist mit einem besonders leistungsstarken LCD-Display ausgestattet, das eine brillante Bildwidergabe in nahezu HD-Auflösung bietet. Der Bildschirm mit 12,7 cm Bilddiagonale ermöglicht komplette Multitouch-Funktionalitä

In the product description they use some images of the original, but the boxart, main image and the description are definitely for the slim version. You can distinguish the slim from the original by the circular start/select buttons as opposed to the oval shaped ones in the original. Also the edges are more rounded in the slim whereas the original has sharper edges. Comparison pic (top is slim)

Comment
This one? It's out of stock and I doubt it'll come back in stock. There's 2 different Vita models

Thank you very much for you're kind help. on the listing for this thread on amazon.de it says this is a oled screen though

Hi I'm not a expert on the vita I see that GAME are selling the vita console (Wifi Only) with Killzone Mercenary and 16GB Memory Card for £84.00.
Is that the old model pls ? Or is there just the one model of the vita ?

The Vita will be discontinued soon, I wouldn't bother.

the £84 game deal is long gone

I've had both, far rather have new model. weight and size difference makes a massive difference, screen is dead on, not worse just different.

and that game offer for£84 is probably a relic sale from two years ago

Expired now

Not worth bothering with if it's the new. model

€157.13?

You're a legend mate

Why does it say pch- 2004 on the boxes does anyone know ?

what are the 10 games?

Heat added 82 or 90 all good

Some cracking games. I completed Tearaway, very clever. Playing Persona 4 at the moment, strange but enjoyable game. Minecraft is excellent on the Vita too.

For £90 it's great value.

So really its £90.19 not £82?

£90 delivered

Thanks op

New model?
English language options?
Any taxes?
Seems too good to be true...

Your link is to the mobile site. Here's the link for full site page.

£2 or a little more in delivery

Oops sorry think I expired in error, sorry can someone undo.

It's defiantly English when you switch on first time it asks you for language just choose desired and of you go.

Like £8 in delivery...don't need it...caved.

Nice one ;-)

Yes been bought before around Black Friday works in English you just need to buy UK plug and lead for a few pounds of eBay.

how to translate this, all in German

Just copy and paste in google translate otherwise the layout is exactly like Amazon UK

Ordered thanks. I had ordered one before Christmas for £120. So this is an excellent deal

Sorry meant Amazon.de
