I got my 16GB memory card at Best Buy last night. I had $45 in RZ certificates so it was $15. Then I used my $200 in gift cards to buy $200 in Kindle gift cards. Then applied those gift cards to my Amazon account. So when my Vita ships it will only cost me $50.98.

Now if I could just get target.com to get their deal to work.

Tax. Tax on the unit alone was going to be $15. And the RZ coupons returns don't even add up to that. I would've bought the 16GB card from Amazon too but they don't offer same day shipping on it and I didn't want to take the chance of not having it day one. Plus I can get an extended warranty through Square Trade for much cheaper than BB.

Best Buy does have a 3X RZ points coupon for this weekend but that does me no good since the Vita releases Wednesday. If I could've used it this weekend I would've went with BB.

NY is one of the few places Amazon has to charge taxes...Texas is no tax as well. That is why I'm getting my Vita from Amazon...taxes on the system would be ~$21 (8.25%). I went to Target last night and they sold out of Vita Fifa and had 2 Wipeout 2048 left....everything else was still plenty.

I'll have you know, I'll be paying full retail

Ok, after arguing with a CS rep from target.com for about 20 minutes I was able to order Uncharted, Resistance and Unit 13 as part of their deal. I do need to call back in about 30 minutes to get $39.99 credited back to the order because he couldn't do the adjustment right then and there. I'll keep you guys posted on if it actually works.

It should be about $103 for all three games after taxes and shipping. Surprisingly I was only charged $5 shipping for all the games.

[Garrett67]

I'm headed to Target later to see what games they have. I imagine that UC isn't part of the deal... (without going through CS). I'm also going to GS to pick up that PS Vita Trigger Grip, or at least look at it. I already ordered a case, so I might go without since it wouldn't fit in the case and I'm not popping it off every time I put it away.

Oh, I see UC is included but doesn't look like FIFA is, which is one game I want.

EDIT: According to the ad, its ALL Vita games (provided they're in stock)

I should just buy as many b2g1 as I can and sell all the free ones.

But, too much work.

[Twigg4075]

Well, I got my credit. So Uncharted, Unit 13 and Resistance...let's go!

[Swarley]

I'm trying to decide between Fifa and Unit 13. Not sure.

Unit 13!

[Garrett67]

Unit 13!

I'd get that if it were out already . I'm sure there will be more deals later though.

I think I'll get Uncharted and sell it and keep FIFA and HotShots
