This is awesome, AWESOME news. I love my 3DS but besides the 3D, for the same price the PSV looks so much more powerful and has more features.

I honestly can't wait for the Vita, very excited for it.

The Vita just keeps getting better and better. It's everything we asked for and more! (Well, at least in my case hahaha.)

Word of caution - the article actually says "to the best of his knowledge" so not 100% certain yet.

I hope so though - I was very disappointed with Nintendo for locking the 3DS. I bought plenty of US DS/DSi games and PSP etc ( living in the UK ) sometimes they get games much earlier and in some cases we don't get them at all!

It is not out yet and exchange rates can change. So you will have to wait until about a month from its release to get accurate price.

Oh ok, but can you tell how much could I save buying from the US instead of here in Australia? thanks a lot!

Yeah this is great news. Most of my PSP games are from overseas as the Aussie stores like you to pay through the nose.
