First time poster but hope this helps someone.
I had my eye on PS Vita and found this was the cheapest for a PS Vita 3g+Wifi with the code TDX-PWG3.
There's also the possibility of 4.5% quidco so will bring this to around £145 if ordered and collected in store.
The games are included with the 8gb memory card which you need to add to your basket - tesco.com/dir…617.
Here's the list of games included:
Little Big Planet
Wipeout 2048
MotorStorm RC
Little Deviants
Frobisher Says! With Frobisher Says! fun pack
Ecolibrium with Ecolibrium Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum game packs,

sorted byBecause lots of people rarely (if ever) visit the 'Vouchers' section (me included). Someone posting a product at an objectively good price using said voucher is, in my opinion, making good use of the 'Deals' section.
People are such grouches! I voted hot for a stonking price on a stonking console.
Untwist your knickers, explain how it "wrecks the site", then when you realise that you're wrong you can...
Jeez, what ever happened to books and proper educational toys.
I'm not digging at you personally, I have a friend who has 7 year old that does nothing but sit and play COD... there's a reason games have an 18 rating ffs.
This is why we have a shortage of computer programmers in this country, kids to keen to sit and play games rather than learn how they're made.
Must be fine to offload your kids onto a games console, How about buying them a PI board and spending some quality time with them instead?
Stop being cheap with the hacking cards and just buy the games
ps+ is a online service which lets you download free games each month only costs £40 an year once bought you'l get a code and redeem the code in vita in the playstation network app
That wasn't the case at all, I had my family, and my school behind me. I found it hard to take anything in when young, everything just went out the other ear. They said it would be lucky if I passed my SATS and then one day it's like a switch flipped. I passed them and from then on I was able to learn much better. I'm not saying Final Fantasy taught me everything I know today, I am saying it helped me a LOT in later years.
"Anyone that claims final fantasy make kids more intelligent are a) 12 themselves or b) on another planet."
That is just ridiculous, and so you are claiming I am like that, which I am not. You are very one minded about your thinking aren't you? I'll stop this here now as I can't continue talking to someone who believes this and implies I am like this. Also I never said it made them more intelligent but it does help with spelling and grammar if that person is very susceptible to words like I am. I learn much better by reading but I have to be interested or have it in a certain form of media. Books just send me to sleep, and that does not mean I had bad education or anything.
As for the education system, it's terrible and it seems to be getting worse from what I can see. Unless your lucky enough to be in a good school or a top set where the teachers aren't too busy shouting at the people acting like morons but the less said about it the better as I hate the education system and believe self teaching is best.
Whilst i agree with ALOT of things you are saying, I disagree with some too and you're coming across as rather ignorant. Your points about education and TV shows being crap are 100% true, I hardly watch TV nowadays due to it being complete garbage and boring/uninteresting which only mindless, inept people seem to love and enjoy, and that is a reflection of our current society. Your completely right when you say kids are grown up playing COD non stop, ignoring education and society and ending up getting nowhere.
However on the other hand I was always allowed on my playstation, I was brought 18 rated games and allowed to watch 18 rated movies when i was under 8 and I thank my mum ALOT for allowing me too. Gaming has become a big interest and passion of mine. Yeah I was one of those kids who sat his ass down all day playing in his playstation and not working because I didn't feel like I needed too, I was fine with school work. I only worked when i needed to, when i was struggling. Nearly all my childhood has been me playing video games, most of my days in recent years have been spent on my playstation. Has this affected me? Hell no, my social life is fine I have plenty of friends who i go out with, my education was fine too, I worked my ass off to achieve good results and now I've just started a very well paid job with plenty of opportunity to further myself even more.
Games can be educational, not in a traditional school/work type way but more in a general education type of way. If liltman says final fantasy helped him in an educational way then I see no reason why that can't be true. Giving a child a PS3 and an 18 rated game isn't bad parenting. Not supporting and ensuring your child educates and is well behaved and mannered is bad parenting, NOT gaming. Also life isn't just about educating and working or socialising, sometimes people just want to fade away into a virtual world forgetting reality and relax whilst doing something fun on their own which they can enjoy and be entertained by, gaming does this in the best way possible.
So in my opinion it's more than fine for a child to play games as much as they want as long as they have good parents who ensure they educate and are raised well as both me and liltman are examples of this among many other worldwide. Gaming isn't the problem here, it's bad parents and other forms of media.

couldnt agree more, why dont people just submit the voucher code rather than dela after deal of the same thing.
its a good deal for a 3g vita so will give you some heat.
I really want to buy a Vita, but the (day one) purchase of the PS4 is still looming over me. Plus, there is the issue of the Oled screens suffering from burn-in, and the LCD (slim re-release) fixing this.
EDIT: and then there is the Retron 5. ****... I need a second job!
Too many choices. Not enough time or money.
(edited)
The 3G part of the Vita is fairly pointless though, but I guess this is the same price as a Wifi Vita costs so it doesn't really matter - it would never be worth paying more for given how limited it is. OLED vs LCD both have their advantages as well, i'd prefer OLED too, but a lot of people have issues with the OLED screens (burn-in, mura etc).
would be a bit cruel if they didn't! Someone would kick up a fit if they didn't. Vita is looking great now, it seemed to come out a year too soon to realise its potential, but with deals like this, the Vita TV and PS4 integration it could get its buzz back.
haha! no probs, enjoy!
I'll find one soon
Try again, I have just got one 5 minutes ago. Thanks A1ien for posting this deal!
Don't phone Tesco Direct though or you might just get an idiot who does not understand the idea of customer services. When I asked nicely if the above was at all a possibility all I got was terms and conditions and it's out of stock

That's not really what I am saying, what I am saying is that children are so absorbent at that age, there are much better things they could be doing. Giving a child a book is a damn sight healthier than giving them a games console.
When I was 7 I was writing programs in BASIC on an atari 400, because my parents gave me a computer, but they also gave me a book to go with it and not a bunch of games where the main theme was kill kill kill.
I see counter assistants at Argos refuse to give children 18 rated games, only for them to hand it to the parent stood next to them and that parent then hand it to the child, it's wrong.
I see it at my friends and with their friends children, they'd rather palm the kids off with GTA5 than deal with them, rather than try to educate them, rather than nurture their sponge like brains.

I think its a case of everything in sensible moderation, my son plays computer games, watches cartoons, movies, educational channels like National Geographic, Discovery etc, chasing the dog around the garden and he reads books, he doesn't spend all day doing one of those things, his Xbox 360 access is limited to a few hours over the weekend, not on school days.
The problem is when parents just dump kids in front of video games all day, but that's just as bad as dumping them in front of the TV, even making them read a book all day/every day would not be good or nurturing.
Kids are growing up in a world where they need to be technologically savy, even the most basic jobs in years to come will require good technology skills, my son can operate a PC mouse, keyboard, touch screen Android, mobile phone, SKY TV at 6 years old, his school room has a computer and an interactive white board, so if he wasn't using technology at home he would not be keeping up with his class mates.
I grew with the first generation of home computers, I got a Sinclair ZX81 when I was 12 in 1981, then a BBC Model B at 13, I taught myself programming, met fellow coders at the local computer shops in Manchester, some of these guys are writing games today at TT games etc, I am an IT consultant, this also stems from playing around on computers for hours in my youth, I learned how games were written by looking at how they worked to beat the game logic, they also help with co-ordination and dexterity, so games have allot to offer in learning.
I understood what you meant from your first comment and agree. My Mother let me buy the first GTA when it came out and I was only about 13 I think, was a young teenager anyways but she warned me first and she made sure I knew it was just a game and blaa blaa blaa...
The right parenting and balance is key. I never turned into a crazy car robbbing gun crazed maniac and I was under age when playing those games. The majority of kids know these are games and not real. Parents job is to make sure and see if they think their kid can handle it. If not then stop them playing. My sister does the same with her son and hes turning out great.
Christ, now you've made me feel really old hell I go back to SNES days, let alone running a PS1 upside down to get the discs to read
I'm not saying its all evil but I really do think at 5 years old, sitting in front of a games console for hours on end is bad.
See I think opposite to that, the more exposure the better in my opinion, assuming you have good parents who teach you right from wrong and that it is just a game. Greater exposure = knowing right from wrong on a much higher level. Same with horror movies, greater exposure = less fearful upon getting older.
The 18 age rating is just there to be part of the "system" if you ask me. It's never as bad as they say and that's why often you will see people much younger saying "that was a 15, 18...why? It wasn't even that bad".
Just got email to say mine's arrived in store ready for collection - happy days.
