I'll get the WiFi model eventually. No rush though because I only bought my PSP just last year and don't have anywhere near the games or play time out of it that I want yet. I joined the bandwagon kind of late. I'm not ready to move on. The PSP already feels advanced enough for me.

I'm only getting the Wi-Fi, since you have to pay for the 3G.

I have the wi-fi only pre-ordered. Don't want to pay ATT for something I'll never use.

The 3G is a cool feature. I always like getting the top models, but I am still thinking if I should get the wi-fi only model or the 3G model. I mean I don't go anywhere much. So maybe the wi-fi model would be good? I don't know. :P

I'm getting the WiFi model. The last thing I need is another bill...besides, the place I'll be using it most is on campus (between classes) so I'll have access to WiFi a good bit.

I'll be getting the Wifi model since it's cheaper, and the fact that you don't have to pay for a plan.

Just get the wi-fi. 3G is already outdated and it's just another thing to run the battery down quicker. It's not like you're missing out on multiplayer since you can't play games online over 3G. And it's $50 more expensive along with a contract.

PS vita Wifi for me. I have rarely used the on-line on my PSPs so Wifi PSvita for $250.00 will do me fine.

Yeah, your right. I think I am better off with the wi-fi.

That makes no sense.... Anyway, in the long run I will probably end up wanting the 3G model, so I'll probably just go ahead and get that. I probably won't use it for gaming, but rather for things like browsing the internet and downloading small files like music. I also won't activate the 3G until I'm ready to use it. Oh, and did you know that attendees hated the AT&T announcement? Seeing as i can't place calls using the PS Vita, I'm not that worried.

I'm going to wait the year or two for the eventual PSV 2000 with 4G. I want a media device on the go like an IPhone, but I don't want to pay that much money for a "music-first" device. The Vita with 4G would be perfect (if it ever comes out lol). A "gaming-first" device that has capabilites to be online all the time.

The reasons why I'm not to keen on 3G have already been said on this board. I'm not paying 300 for my first true handheld media device (I don't thinka PSP really counts) with outdated internet support. I'll wait for the price drop and supped up PSV.

You use T-Mobile, but the Vita uses AT&T. Quite a bit of a mismatch, no?

The iPhone isn't a "music-first" decive. It's a "phone-first" device. Hence the name, iPhone.

Initially I thought I would choose the 3G model because of the rumors that the Wi-Fi model might only have a dumb-downed 256mb RAM. But seeing as that wasn't not true, the Wi-Fi is essentially the best choice for me, as it is cheaper and I wouldn't want to buy another data plan.

well nice to find out that for the 3g one you have to pay for a plan (i havn't really been following the vita but I do want one eventually), so since I'm basically getting it for the sp games then definitely the wifi one (that is after a few months so sony can fix any problems with it). BTW, when is the vita coming out?

3g because i use t-mobile and i'm on the go most of the time

From what I heard, if you use 3g, then you have to go with AT&T (they have an exclusive contract like with the iPhone).

One thing to keep in mind though, don't get sucked in by all that 4g jargon. From what I understand, it's a marketing term that is misleading...

check this out

For myself, wi-fi is good enough.

If the 3G access is free (which I highly doubt), I'll be going for that version.

Based off of people's responses, it looks like the 3G model is going to sell terribly.

I hope Sony is at least aware of how small the demand is for it, so they don't overproduce it or anything...

No real need for the 3g version.
