Aussie bargains February 17

The PlayStation Vita is just under a week from launch in Australia, and thankfully Mr Chickan_117 has spotted discounted prices online for the main launch titles. The thing to keep in mind about importing PS Vita games is that you can't mix and match titles from different regions. Due to the fact that games from each area are locked to their respective territory's PlayStation Network Store, and that the PS Vita supports only one account at a time, it's incredibly difficult getting postrelease DLC for those games. The best way to approach the PlayStation Vita is to pick one region to get your games from, and then stick to it.

While PlayStation Vita titles dominate this week's bargain roundup, we've also sneaked in a few other offers that we thought were worth sharing around.

PS Vita launch titles:
Uncharted: Golden Abyss - A$48 from Harvey Norman Direct Import
Rayman: Origins - A$41
WipeOut 2038 - A$39 from Harvey Norman Direct Import
