It's coming sooner than later. Of coarse this is speculation. I have been considering buying a Vita for the past month, I even picked up a 32 gig memory card for $70 on amazon 2 weeks ago. Last night I finally snaped and dissembarked to my local Wally World to purchase my very own, only to discover that they were sold out. So I tried the next closest Walmart (It was late,GS was closed) Sold out there as well. I'm not sure if poor sales have forced retailers to order less, or they are intentionally selling out of stock in anticipation of a new model/formfactor/ pricedrop. With all the success of the drop in Japan, I see this all happening between now and E3. You're thoughts?

i think they will officially announce the drop at E3 which is good. hopefully it will take affect before the holiday season. however they should probably price drop the memory cards rather than the device because those prices are  much more ridiculous than the price of the vita itself.

sony already confirmed no price drop , price drops are  put out on a region to region basis ,   its up to sony and i belie ve theyd rather push more bundles and drop memory cards prices cause thats the main problem not the vita it self , theres already sales though so go get one while their hot

What I want:

New PS Vita model with smaller screen (make it portable dammit!) and PSP Go like design with slide out controls

at least 2GB built in storage with cheaper memory cards and bettery battery life (possible due to smaller screen) and a price tag of $149-$179. Heck, lose the OLED for LCD if that cuts costs enough.

Sony has thus far ruled out a PSvita Price drop for North America. If Sony were to change that stance then E3 2013 would be the place Sony would annouce a price drop. So we will have to wait until then.

Ew. No. No to all of those things except the built in memory and $179 price.

No to cheaper memory cards? To me, that's one of the biggest obstacles to buying a Vita.

Worst idea ever. The PSP Go failed hard for a reason.
