Vita 3G plan tweaked, jumps from $25 to $30 a month
by Andrew Yoon, Jan 23, 2012 6:30am PSTThe 3G data plans for PlayStation Vita haven't been especially unique. AT&T's plans for the Vita have matched their plans for iPads and other tablets. The company recently tweaked its 3G data plans, and unsurprisingly, the Vita has been affected.
The lower-priced tier is unchanged. The $14.99 monthly plan will still offer 250MB of data.
However, the higher-pried tier has been made more expensive. Previously, AT&T offered a $25 plan that included 2GB of data. That option has been replaced with a $30 plan that offers 3GB of data. While the per-gigabyte cost is much lower, it means Vita users that planned on using 3G service will have to pony up an additional $5 a month to get connected.
While the Vita will offer a number of internet-connected apps, many of Vita's more demanding features--such as internet play and full game downloads--will require something a bit faster than 3G speeds. Potential Vita owners will have to think carefully before deciding which version to pick up at launch next month.

i am sick of shitty 1 or 2 dollar smartphone game apps that are pieces of shit that keep me entertained for 30 minutes until i'm fucking bored of it because there's no depth or they want to microtransaction me to death.
i want to play some hardcore games on my lunch break at work, i want to play some hardcore games when i have some down time travelling abroad or visiting my folks or jen's folks out of town without having to cart my xbox around.
i hope this works out and they get the 3rd party support that died off so quickly with the PSP. Come on EA (specifically EA Sports)!
