About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Sony PS Vita 3G version - manufacturer refurbished with a 12 months Argos warranty.
Seems like a pretty good deal if you're after a 3G edition to take advantage of the connectivity with the PS4 whilst on the go and away from WiFi.
Apologies if this has been posted already.
***You can get an additional 10% off you buy 2 or more. If there's anyone in the ESSEX or City of London area that's interested in pairing up to save a couple of quid let me know***

The vita DOES play online over 3G. I've played FIFA, NFS Most Wanted and just tried Virtua Tennis World Tour which worked fine.
"Battery go like ultra quickly"?!
It's simple, if you're not going online then turn 3G off, made even easier with the latest firmware update which allows quick access to it from a long hold on the PS Button, if you're going to use 3G then it's obvious the battery will reduce quicker just like having the brightness higher or background music playing etc.
Not a bad price for a refurb 3g model with 12m warranty though so heat added
Well I wouldn't eat my dinner off it lol X)

Ahh I see, thanks for sharing that.
I've heard that multiplayer is doable with the 3G so that's always handy if you find a good sim deal. Better to have it than not at that price
Thats a shame you can't do more with the 3G as it is normally priced significantly higher than the standard WiFi only version.
Also played Need for Speed: Most Wanted over 3G with no issues either.
Thanks for clarifying that, I've heard the Vita is quite good for just using like a table too, any thoughts?
I know obviously you can return them if you want but it's too much extra hassle and once i've got the thing i cba to return it

Sorry mate I don't use the Vita as a tablet so can't comment on that. There is not many apps like the iPhone app store or Android Play store though so if that's what you're after look for something else
There is no statutory minimum warranty on used or refurb items so actually having it included is a nice bonus
It's mad that the Wifi version is currently more expensive...
This article gives some more reasons to avoid the 3G model.
No u can't.
Old article. In any case they are rumoured to revise the hardware at some point, smaller/slimmer/cheaper to manufacture, just like they did with PSP/PS3/2/1...
This is a refurb "deal" and the 3G version of Vita is no longer being manufactured, that's the only reason the wifi version costs more.
Old article yeah, but the points are still relevant. If you get a 3G Vita you have to pay for a data plan just for limited functionality. Like you say, there will no doubt be newer model(s) released (hopefully with a HDMI out).
Yeah, I'm just about to take the Vita plunge myself. I will be gutted if the revised model has HDMI out lol
That would be a massive balls :). Though come to think of it the Vita has stubbornly held its price pretty well on ebay (last time I checked anyway) so if a new model is released and you're quick to sell you wouldn't lose too much.
yh they have already done it at 169.99
It's due another cut that was announced with ps4 release date so will probably coincide with that
yh i know, thats what i was referring to, the vita price dropped automatically on tuesday when they announced it
Yep, or even put it in aeroplane mode to turn all network features off.
Surely they can't put 'Manufacturer refurbished' if they haven't been refurbished by the manufacturer though? Otherwise wouldn't they be restricted to 'Seller refurbished' at best?

in the article it says they probably won't be offering a PS Vita/PS4 bundle
