I've preordered mine at my local GameStop. Who has too or plan on it when there preferred retailer starts preorders?
PlayStation Vita

PlayStation Vita is Sony's second handheld gaming device.
So who preordered?
" This just in: NGP priced at $2,000. Anyone who preordered is boned. "Yup. If you pre order you can not cancel. And if you dont pay in full day of release you are to be forced to Play Rogue warrior. Till the end of time.
" @JJWeatherman said:Actually, you're just forced to win a race in Big Rigs. Good luck with that." This just in: NGP priced at $2,000. Anyone who preordered is boned. "Yup.

I don't see why anyone would wanna pre-order this early, especially as we no next to nothing about what it'll be like or even the price. Don't let a sudden burst of hype cause you to make a potentially stupid decision.

I preordered this early so I can pay it off early. I'm expecting $250 - $300 (actually I'm hoping since the wife won't let me get it if it exceeds $300). So instead of paying more later I'll add $20 a paycheck until it's paid for.
Plus I'm a Sony fanboy.

If you happen to get the "You're winner", then you've escaped eternal hell.
" I'm expecting $250 - $300."It will be a great day if the NGP gets priced at $300.

Seems kinda weird to me, preordering a thing while its price is not yet released. Also we know like 4 things about the NGP.
I've never regretted my purchase of a PSP (and my DS currently has no charge on it, and honestly I have no idea where it was. I truly regret picking that up).
And we know a lot about the system already. Plus we know about the rumored price from the Ubisoft survey ($249 to $349) and well know for sure at E3 time.
As I've said I want to have it paid off early and I know I'll enjoy it (I perfer SCEA games over Nintendo or Microsoft).
So I understand while it might be stupid, but if I wait I may not have the money. I don't have $300 laying around. I do have about $20. And I'll have more later on too.
Plus I didn't relize I'd run into so many people hating on me for preordering. Not a very welcoming community here.

It cuts off but it says:
020163 Sony NGP(ActualDa
The cut off part says actual date and price not final.
Is it hand written or via computer? Cause I do not think their systems would even allow that to happen. Or was this done online? Cause I just read you can pre order for 999 bucks" @The_Laughing_Man

GameStop's accepting preorders already? What?Yup. I preordered at my local GameStop. Although I'm apparently crazy for preordering this early to ensure it's paid off when it comes out.
@Shakezula84:Then you have never worked video game retail. People were preordering Halo 2 when the Xbox came out. That was a debacle. The GameStop I worked at had 300 copies for the 200 preorders and only a 100 ever showed up.
You can see why we would be confused, pre ordering something this early with not much release information is a little crazy. We're not attacking you for it but it is a little out of the ordinary.
It's pretty normal. And I'm super stoked about this system. I even have Battlefield 3 preordered (for another system of course). Am I crazy for wanting to lock that in too?
Maybe. But I did.
I'm interested in the NGP but we really need a launch date, pricing details and a launch lineup before I'd put in a pre-order. There are rumours about a European and Japanese release this year, but nothing solid.
I wouldn't go as far to call someone "stupid" for jumping right in but we really know next to nothing about the thing at the moment and what we have seen of the games hasn't been super impressive.
" @LordAndrewWhy don't you just save the money and wait until everything is actually announced, priced, and dated?GameStop's accepting preorders already? What?Yup. I preordered at my local GameStop. Although I'm apparently crazy for preordering this early to ensure it's paid off when it comes out. "
@m0rdr3d at $400? No I wouldn't. $300 is my pretax max. I can't justify any more then that in my head (or wife). So I'd get my money back. And are you talking about back in the day when GameStop kept the reservations as receipts in a draw or the current computerized system? Because either way that employee was an idiot. I worked at GameStop for 5 years (4 in management). I got shocking news for you guys. Your reservations are never lost. A record exists. Every lost reservation someone complained about I got back for my customers. Those employees either didn't know I didn't care.
Preordering a console that doesn't have any announced games, a price, a release date (or even window) and most importantly, no fucking name?It's got at least two titles announced for it. A unnamed call of duty and the new F1 game. So there (and it case its not obvious, I'm being silly and not trying to be a jerk).
Seems logical to me.
And it has a release window. It might change because of the earthquake in Japan, but I preordered before that happened. I'd still preorder it even after the quake.
And why does awesome need a name?
Might as well wait till they release a price/name for the thing.
So I post on here about how excited for this that I preordered this, and everyone questions why I did. Just clarifying the status of this thread that went into another direction. Anyone upset that I have Battlefield 3 preordered? We don't have a release date on that either.
I'm not upset, but yeah, that's a bit weird too." So I post on here about how excited for this that I preordered this, and everyone questions why I did.

It really is just kind of strange to many of us that you'd preorder so early with basically no good reason. Sure, you want the stuff you're preordering, but why not just wait until you have a better grasp on what exactly you're going to be getting? It would seem to be in your best interest, but whatever.
Enjoy the NGP whenever you have it in hand.
Given the past of non Nintendo based handhelds I always have a wait and see attitude. Especially after owning a Game Gear.
@Shakezula84 said:I preordered because I'm not gonna have $300 laying around when it comes out. And when they announce price and date I may have no money since I'll be paying for my wifes birthday, my sons birthday, and paying of a trip to Jamica so my wife can be with her mom when her mom turns 50. I don't know when I'll have the money. So I'll preorder now and start paying it off so I don't suddenly really want it and have no way of getting.I'm not upset, but yeah, that's a bit weird too."

And for crying out loud people. If by the time it comes out and I no longer want it, I'll take my money and buy something else. It's not gone. I just want to make sure. Fuck.
" @DonPixel I've explained my financial situation and I'm done explaining that part. @Landon Why would I wait for a bunch of games I can't get. I'm not made of money. I'll be able to get a game every two months. Max. Once again, I'm done explaining my financial situation. "Why would you spend so much on a system that might not have many games you'd want to play.
" @HandsomeDevilWell, you don't know if it'll be awesome.

Problem solved.
I've barely played my PSP over the years (Square-Enix almost single-handedly had me using the system, with the likes of FFT, Crisis Core and KH: Birth by Sleep), and I'm very much doubting the system will be under $300... I'll still probably get one, but I'm absolutely not rushing out to pre-order one right now.
