The Vita is a steal at $249.99. Considering the psp launched at $249.99 six years ago and didn't offer nearly as much as this system does.....
This also makes Nintendo's greed suddenly transparent....
Sony knocked this conference out of the ballpark. Jack put forth a truly honest apology to those that were affected by the PSN outage, a lot of solid software for the PS3 was shown off, and the information on the Vita was down right jaw dropping. All while eliminating all talk about the PS2 and PSP and they cut back on the amount of montages for filler that they leaned on the past couple years.
Good show Sony.
Oh boy, look at that. All the 1-post trolls coming out to play.
In any case, I'm all over that $250 version. Time for me to stock up on PSP games.

If the UK gets a fair price conversion instead of getting the dollar-for-pound shafting we normally get, then this is an amazing price.This.
But it's probably going to be £250 knowing our luck with pricing.
Maybe it's just me but I think the price point may be a little high. I think $199.99 for Wifi and $249.99 for 3G would have been much better. It will most likely get to that price point at sometime but I think $300 may be too much.
has sony revealed if the 3G version is also capable of wifi? If I end up buying a Vita, I MIGHT want 3G, or I might not. $50 extra dollars isn't much, so I would probably by the 3G version planning on giving wifi a go before committing to any kind of data plan.
That price is probably at the low end of what I would have expected. Considering I paid 600 for my HTC HD7, it doesn't seem so bad. ;)
I really dont ever get the PSP hate and bashing. It sold like 70 million units worldwide! Is it as good as the DS in sales numbers? Heck no. But whats wrong with second? Is Pepsi giving up or considered poor or crappy since Coke is number 1 in world wide sales? No, I would love to have the money and sales Pepsi has. And yet with Coke and Pepsi dominating other little brands like TAB still make their soda. Any money is good money. 70 million units is more than the Gamecube sold, why would Sony not want to keep tapping that market? It might not be a huge market, but its still a market.
Name makes no difference...everyone thought Wii was awful too.
250 bucks for the wifi, you got me Sony. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

I feel the need to mention the € prices for that thing:
Wifi version - 249€
3G version - 299€
Yup that's right, obviously the € - $ exchange rate is 1:1, so europeans just have to pay $440 for the 3G version.....
Guess what sony? Even if i would have been interested in that device i wouldn't have bought it simply because i don't like beeing ripped off like that. Paying nearly 50% more for the same? nothankyou.jpg
Content is king, and I will wait to see what else comes out for the Vita...
Speaking of the name I am not calling it the PSV, or Playstation Vita. Just call it Vita. Quick, simple, and to the point. No need to put a PS, or PlayStation in front of it to understand what you mean when speaking in gaming terms.
The price is amazing for all we get. It offers way more than the DS with exception of 3D. Honestly, I love my DSi but the 3DS is not impressive compared to this. Just a strong DS with a neat screen. Nintendo has to either rock it with content, or drop the price. If Sony comes strong with the content at launch this seriously may be a handheld fight. One Nintendo never had to truly face.
Plus, there is one factor that Sony/Nintendo never wants to mention. iPhone/Android phone games. Love them, or hate them they have a serious impact on the market. The handheld war has never seen so much flux honestly, and that is a good thing. When this happens the only true winner is the consumer.
250 :DDDDDD i'm getting one. vita's not that bad. we all thought the wii was a stupid name...
and we still do.
So here we are, for some reason the video game populance that once hated Sony from about 2006-2011 are out in force. Sony had the best prese conference of the show, slamming MS whose show was lacking in every sense of the term. Good going Sony!! But fuck AT&T. Why not Verizon, the nations largest 3G carrier? That was a bummer, and the audience responded appropriately.
I needed two reasons to buy a Vita, and they are 1. Uncharted and 2. 249 price point. I would prefer a $199 price point, but I'm okay with $249.
I still think the touch panel on the backside is dumb, but I like how it was incorporated into the ModNation track editor. In a perfect world, they would omit this feature to give me that lower price entry.
Good price for the technology, but they really need to come up with some killer software for me to care. That action RPG looked... like an action RPG. Hopefully it is actually good.
