Lokerz is Awesome.

I've been looking forward to the Playstation Vita for months. It's the first piece of gaming hardware that I'm buying on Day One (not counting the First Edition Bundle) since the Nintendo Wii. My ADHD nature seems to favor handhelds over consoles, so I think that's the direction I'm going to move in for the remainder of this gaming generation.

Like a lot of folks, I was about to get the WIFI-only version when Sony announced the perks that consumers will get with the 3G flavor at launch. Until today, I had this $300 bundle reserved on Amazon.com, with the $1 Release Date Delivery ready to go.

However, something miraculous happened today. I found out about Lockerz.com's store. I've been a member of Lockerz for a while now, mainly because a lot of people use it to post pictures on Twitter. For some reason, though, I never ventured into the other sections of the site. Today, I found out that Lockerz has a reward system called "PTZ." Basically, you answer poll questions, watch videos, upload photos, etc, to earn PTZ, which allows you to buy some products like video games, electronics, and shoes at discounted prices.

You might notice that I said video games. And I did. While it won't replace GameStop, Lockerz has a select amount of games that would pique any gamer's interest- including video game hardware. And yes, one of those hardware pieces is the 3G Playstation Vita. Right now, if you use enough PTZ to max out the discount, you can buy a Vita for the low price of $251. Yes, they charge tax...but NOT shipping. By watching some videos today, I was able to purchase a Vita 3G system WITH Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3..for a grand total of $299.58. So basically, by using this site, I got UMVC3 for FREE.

Before you ask, Lockerz is a completely legitimate site. It's been verified. And it says that the Vita will ship via USPS First Class. If you're into video games, or anything else that the Lockerz store has available, you should really be heading over there now.

I'll probably post about my Vita impressions when it comes in the mail. Also, if you have a 3DS, get Resident Evil Revelations, a Circle Pad Pro, and some headphones. You'll have a blast.

Handhelds are my gaming future, I think. Which is funny, because many speculate we are seeing the end of gaming-only mobile devices..but that's a post for another day..
