PS Vita First Edition Bundle Ranks On Best Buy’s Top 10 Online Pre-Order Sales
Vita sales news from the handheld’s second week in Japan may not have been as good as some had hoped. But some positive sales news has emerged about Vita in a report about pre-orders for the device from a major US retailer.
Punchjump reports that on the top ten pre-order products from Best Buy’s online division, the PlayStation Vita’s First Edition Bundle has ranked #9 of 10 this week “due to strong advanced demand.” The bundle comes packaged with a 4GB Memory Card, a case, and Little Deviants. It will retail for $349.99 and release on February 15th.
The report did not mention pre-order figures for the Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + 3G model releasing on the system’s official launch date in North America and Europe, February 22.
Some publishers are releasing titles such as Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 one week earlier to coincide with the First Edition Bundle’s release.
Are you getting a PlayStation Vita? If so, what model (Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + 3G)? Is yours arriving on February 22nd or is it a First Edition Bundle? Let us know in the comments below!

Got mine Pre-Ordered and it’s a First Edition!
you save $10…i guess, but you’re getting an version you might not like, 3G. I’ll eventually upgrade when there are games that I must play anywhere online (as that would be the only point I’d see 3G used) or if it has GPS. But then again, I payed an extra $50 to have mine a month early and O as accept.
Also, PSLS, please do an article on what you can and can’t do with Vita accounts. I get my Vita next week and want to know if I can use my US account, but transfers my demos downloaded from my Japanese account to my Vita via PS3. If I can’t, I might as well register my Japanese account into it, check out the demos, then reformat it to my US account so I can put all my free PSN+ PSone games on it.
I still don’t understand why they didn’t bundle it with Uncharted for the release.
Got mine reordered as well. Cant wait to pick this up and show to friends.
