PlayStation Vita gets price cut in Japan

If Sony wants me to buy the Vita.....again, they need to annouce some strong vita support when they unveil the ps4, and they need to slash the memory prices

$215 is an okay price for the portable itself but the fact that there aren't really that many games to choose except for Persona and the memory cards are so horrendously overpriced,  I may still pass on the vita.

Now all we need is for them to drop the price of memory cards and release more games for it that aren't console ports like they said they would.

when do we get a price drop?  I'll pick it up then, almost for sure!!

Fix the issues the PS Vita had with the Madden 13 demo then I will care.  Until then I will just buy up PS Vita games for cheap and just try to flip them for extra cash on Ebay or classifieds or trade them in for better stuff at EB Games, FS and the like.

I expect they'll announce a price drop by E3 this year for US and EU regions, who knows maybe even earlier than E3.

to tell the truth even if it's 200$ 

the 32 gig memory card is still 90$+ 

which is absurd that a 32 gig cost 90$ 

i could get a 32 gig from sandisk for 20$ 

then why should i need to pay a 70$ sony tax?

LOWER THE PRICE OF THE MEMORY CARDS 

only for japan huh we need games forget the price drop we need games i only own 3 retail launch games - the rest that came out i dont care for or i already have a superior version  on my newer wiiu  , 

If they'll implement the price cut worldwide, it'll definitely help those on the fence in buying one.

I also don't get people saying that the platform has no games (or just ports from its home console brothers). Looking at the Vita's library now, it pretty much offers a variety of genres to cater everyone. Just because there're not enough mainstream games in it (or you didn't find anything that 'clicked' with you) doesn't mean that its bad over all. But sure, there's always room for improvement ;D

YEEES EUYAHHAYYEYSHYSHEA  YTEYYYES  

FUCK YEAH 

now it's time to buy a vita 

I bought it last year,and I havn't played it for a long time because there are no interesting game on it,and now the price is cut again..sometimes I regret i have bought it too early

If both models are going to be $219, won't everyone choose the 3G/Wi-Fi model? Or are you required to purchase a plan with the 3G/Wi-Fi, even if you don't plan on using the 3G option immediately?

A prelude to the Vita Slim.

This is the problem with many game companies, their greed and unwillingness to listen to the gamers often spoils what could of been great opportunities for both company and consumer. Sony continues this trend with the Vita, great handheld tech but poor pricing and service. (lack of games) I only have 2 games for the Vita after supporting Sony and buying the Vita at launch. C'mon man!

Look like Sony will take a loss on this, but the price point should generate good sell.

About time Sony. Now make do with some good games on the PS Vita. And am talking exclusive to the system you made. The reason why it is lagging behind the 3DS is because it relies on console port games only. Just my opinion. 

If you think Victoria`s story is flabbergasting,, three weeks ago my brothers father in law got $6802 workin twenty hours a week from their apartment and their co-worker's mother`s neighbour was doing this for 4 months and brought home more than $6802 part-time from there pc. apply the information at this site....... BIT40. ?O?

It has enough games ffs, Gravity Rush, Persona, Uncharted, a shitload of fighters. And what is the problem with ports? People still fail to realize that the Vita is meant to give a "console like" experience. Is that so bad that you can play Ray Man Origins in your work break?

Is those fking MEMORY CARDS that are rediculous expensive.

Yea pretty much should of been $200 to start with nobody wants to pay $300 for a handheld. 

good, needs games and a price cut here to!

A good first step Sony, now bring it to the rest of the world, and bring the localizations with it. 

Should've been a price cut worldwide? Sometimes I wonder what Sony has been smoking. 

Why the hell wouldn't they cut the price in the U.S.?  It is selling even worse here.  

It should have been $200 to begin with.
