3G NGP (how much will you pay)

What would you be willing to pay for the 3G service of the NGP? I think it is awesome that it has 3G, although I am betting that it will cost a decent amount for a monthly plan. I would be willing to pay a few bucks a month for the service, but I own a tracphone for a reason :P. If somehow they make it free I will be blown away haha.

BTW I am assuming people understand the capabilities of a device with 3G :P.

nothing with a launch price expected to be 300-350 some say 400 , i personally will stick to wifi

No way am I paying monthly for 3G when most places I go to have WiFi.

10 to 15 dollars a month, only for unlimited 3G without browser support. I just want the ability to play games ANYWHERE, and EVERYWHERE. That is a true portable gaming device.

If it can be done without a contract I'd be willing to pay.

Also considering online is free for the PS3 it MIGHT be free for the NGP.

none for me.

i would mostly play the psp2 at home. so i wouldnt need 3g since i have wi-fi

but i see the value of 3G on the psp2, just not for me

Unless that thing turns into a phone, then nothing. I'm not going to pay a monthly fee when I've already shelled out 300+ on the system. I'll stick to wi-fi in that case.

$15 would be reasonable and I'd definetly go for that, although I'll probably still end up getting the 3G version as long as the fee isn't above $30

i would not pay monnthly for 3g but i would pay more for the 3g system if it had free 3g!!

I'd prefer $5, I would consider $10 depending on the limitations.

Ten to fifteen USD a month on a payg or pre-paid plan. Something that would not require a contract as that would be difficult to keep up with.

Sony are contemplating having the 3G model be the only model with a GPS hardware (although alll will have skyhook) so, there is even more insentive to buy the 3G model. Remember, developers will likely create games around what Sony are calling the NGP's "location based SDK" so, skyhook and WPS+IP positioning systems alone may not be enough to enjoy all the experiences.

The Japanese will likely only get the full on 3G product judging from the first meeting where there seemed to be no ambiguity (although, it may have been lost in translation) and EU will likely only get Wi-fi models. If the US is the only region to get the 3G model than, one must be opportunistic. Carpe diem, dudes!

:idea:I wish I could buy the 3G NGP at one price, I would pay up to $325 - $350 range if I didn't have to pay monthly for the 3G network, they would get way more business if it was a one time price instead of a monthly pay!

In most major U.S. cities, there is atleast one Starbucks/McDonalds that has free WiFi. No reason for 3G, for me atleast.TheRealLisaAnn

There is little merrit to that but, not every block will have wi-fi. Even in some of the most densely packed and technology savvy cities, there maybe large radius of wifi spots but, they don't go everywhere like 3G or some wi-fi routers are locked. (In fact, there seems to be a trend that more home and private wi-fi spots have encrytion locks due to piracy and other illegal online activity).

It is slightly discouraging that less people want to buy the 3G version however, a future 4G(a term used for advanced 3G radio signals) model of the NGP may alter that point of view. Nonetheless, a special package by Sony for the 3G model will have the NGP selling like some proverbial hot-cakes.

I will just get the NGPversion without 3G. For that I'll be paying $450.00 on launch day. I may upgrade to a NGP with 3G later. Plus where I live they do not have a 3G ready network anyways

It is really cool! I don't have a 3G plan on my phone so, I can't tether 3G. The NGP will serve as both my 3G and GPS device. Both, very useful.

What are the benefits of 3G for the NGP?

Honestly, 3G is rather slow on my DROIDx. It takes a while to stream any youtube video (even on low quality). So, I'm going to pass up that offer and stick with Wifi.ShawDowFX

Concidering it sounds as though itwill probablycost near enough £300 I doubt i would even want to use it outside of the house haha WiFi all the way it would seem.But it is great having the option.

I'll be willing to pay at least 10$ for 3g but i mainly use wi-fi.

I'll stick to wifi, besides, you can get wifi almost anywhere nowadays.

Not a penny, the console itself is going to cost a fortune.

I don't need 3G. I want the Wi-Fi only version for hopefully a 3DS price tag, which seems to come true.
