Finally, some good news for VITA

Thats awesome really. Its usually the opposite.



                            

Even if that's true, you still need to pay a fortune for the SD cards to hold those games...

Fixed.

Since this implies having to use PSN, it is the opposite.

The cards are expensive due to the fact that the Vita is sold at a loss. More expensive console and cheaper cards would make no difference. In the end you get what you pay for. 

If you lose the card though, that is another story.



Nice, how it should be. I like Physical but if the gap is that big on all games then I think I'd prefer to go digital.



 

Wow that is an impressive price for games, if it turns out to be true. I knew that retail added a lot of price to the games, but if Vita games can be profitable at less than $25 digitally that would be very impressive, and certainly narrows the gap between iphone/pad games and the dedicated handheld game prices.



damn it kinda sucks that I like having boxarts :S maybe I will just buy physical if the boxart is really good

If Vita games are truly capped at $40 for retail, that alone is good news (I was expecting $50). I'm hoping this is true for digital copies, though, as I'm only expecting a $10 reduction in price and not a $16 reduction (assuming the $40 price point).
