Its not 1gb card, its in built memory. it allows users to save without needing to buy a mem card. Its obviously not for downloads

Yeah, I used the wrong term, but the result is negative anyway, because the problem to be solved wasn't just of space for saves, but also for downloads. Heck, even my 89€ smartphone included 512MB internal memory plus a 2GB micro SD...

I think they want to get rid of the "old" OLED model, that's the reason they were being underpriced these last few months, because it used to be over £200 if I remember well. I don't regret getiing my OLED one because this Slim version will be a downgrade, I'm only jealous about the many colors!

I don't understand. It must be 180€.

We already have 199€ Vita bundles with memory card and 10 games included!

RRP in the UK is not the same as the actual selling price at most outlets. This model isn't aimed at being cheaper, its aimed as a relaunch. Essentially they will be making more profit even if sales remain stagnent. I assume this is UK only because they're using the market as a test.

Its ridiculous that it doesn't come with more internal memory, no one is gonna be persuaded by 1GB. I know they still want people to buy the propriety memory cards but 8GB would easily be filled up with 1 or 2 months worth of PS+ content alone. Without the additional colours (black is the one available currently) there seems no point in adopting this Vita over the original.

Is the UK a test-market or something?

The RRP has very little to do with the prices that Vitas are being sold at. I imagine once the older consoles are sold out, these will become cheaper

WTF???

Did Sony's Meeting already happened? Why is UK the only placed to have a release date? Also why is this more expensive and its replacing the better model? Why not keep both so people can choose?

That's overpriced a bit unless it comes with those indie games. My vita cost me £150 and i've had it for 6 months
