  Sony gets an A. $249 is a great price. They will sell tons. : LemonJoose

    They're making the Nintendo 3DS look like a complete ripoff at this price point. : imbackbaby
    • People who waited on the 3DS will get a 50$ price drop by holiday. : HockeyJohnston

    However,with that price my guess is that rumor about them cutting the memory in half is probably true. : LemonJoose

    games better not be $49.99 : rtrson
    • toggle

      3DS games are $39.99. My guess is that the Vita games will be the same. : capt tripps
      • i think that's pretty expensive, handheld games should be around $20 : hanged_man
      • I'd pay $40 for the AAA titles. But the average game should be $30 : rtrson

  Sony must be taking a hit if that price is right. Are the specs still the same? : grabbie

    Yes, same specs. I bet they're losing $40-50 per handheld. : Link.

          No way, they will charge for the Playstation data. The download size of a kindle book is nothing compared to downloading big game content, no way they can offer that for a one time price of $50
