The Nerd Is The Word

So this fancy PlayStation Vita thing hits UK stores on Wednesday and I have been saving up for the past few months to ensure I have the best launch experience possible.

I will hopefully be grabbing a handful of good games across a variety of genres. It may not be the best line up of games (only a few favourably reviewed ones so far) but it is certainly the strongest launch line up I have ever seen, if you get what I mean. There is something for everybody and in this early stage of the console’s lifecycle it is surprising that there is so much on offer already.

Here’s my final list for Wednesday:

• PS Vita Wi-Fi & 3G (I’m going for the full whack because the Near and on the go stuff interests me greatly)
• 16GB Memory Card (the price may be stupidly expensive but I have no choice! 16GB is better than 4GB and will last me a lot longer)
• Uncharted: Golden Abyss (required purchase for every Vita owner!)
• Escape Plan (I fell in love with this game at the PS Access Event and with the £5 PSN discount I’ve got for preordering it is a must buy)
• Little Deviants (I managed to get it really cheap on Amazon before they increased the price! Whether or not I get it on launch day remains to be seen…)
• Wipeout (depending on the final T&Cs for Vodafone which for now seem good. £5 for a game and 30-days of 3G access an’t a bad deal!)
• MotorStorm RC (depending on how much money I have in my PSN wallet it’s like MicroMachines and is so simple even I can play it!)
• Dungeon Hunter: Alliance (depending on if it is on offer and/or final in store price because I have a hankering for an isometric hack’n’slash game but £39.99 is a bit too much for what it is)

I’m also getting Frobisher Says & the AR Card games for free and a bunch of compatible digital PSP games I never got round to finishing when I had one of those. OOO! I also just remembered I have a load of untouched PSN Minis I’ve gathered as part of my PSN+ Membership that should hopefully work with the Vita. So come Wednesday I should have plenty to be getting on with :)
