Sony had announced a few weeks back that a 3G bundle would be released and come with a 8Gb memory stick, free month 3G broadband and a copy of Super Stardust Delta for free. In Actual fact the bundle is a free 8Gb memory card, sign up for one month 3G data and get next month free and after a month you will receive a free download for Super Stardust Delta after by email. I know this was in the american bundle but mine was similar.
My Irish 3G bundle came with NO 8Gb memory card and free download for Wipeout 2048 when i sign up for a month of 3G and get a month free. But i will receive my Wipeout code in 3 to 5 days.
But i cant be to angry cause in fine print it does give these details but a lot of first time adopters to the Vita didn't read the fine print and Sony never publicly stated this clearly what you would have to do cause I think they know that it would cause a ripple affect. A lot of people thought they would get all this day one purchase bundle and were very surprised when they opened there box. Al lot of people bought that bundle cause all they wanted was stardust and now they gotta wait a whole month before they can download it.
I don't really mind all that much cause i wanted the 3G model anyway and i didn't even know till i opened the box that i could get Wipeout 2048 download.
But is there anyone feels a bit off put and kinda done out of pocket. If you new this information before would you considered purchasing a WiFi only model. Leave a comment if so.

I'd say I somewhat regret buying the 3G one, but I guess its better to have the functionality there in case I really want it. The American one came with a memory card, free month of data, and Super Stardust Delta for activating the service, which I haven't yet anyway.

I read (scrutinized really) the fine print so I was pretty prepared. There was also a pretty good discussion about it on the Amazon site, which is where I ordered my Vita. In all honesty, had I not discovered the info on Amazon, I would probably still be confused.
@catcher82611: I've not seen anything that specifies that my 14.99 game credit must be used for Super StarDust Delta. I was under the assumption that I could use it on any game. Unless you're talking about another promotional deal?
@Magi From what I have heard, that's the game you get for activating the 3G, its the bundle with extra dlc, worth $15. You have to get that game too, I'm pretty sure you have no choice

I think I'm going to contact Sony to see what gives. There was no specific mention of Super Stardust (+DLC) as the free game in the Amazon listing NOR was it mentioned in the promotional material that actually came with the Vita, only that there would be a free voucher for a 14.99 game. I purchased the game on Day 1 when I received my Vita.
Heck, I wouldn't even mine Final Fantasy Tactics, with its $10 price tag, as a consolation prize.
