I know reports from the first week of sales indicated sell-outs for the wi-fi model and plenty of surplus stock for the 3G model.

I'd imagine there's plenty of surplus stock for both models now, but especially so for the 3G model.

I wonder if the 3G model requires a data plan, or if you can use it like a wi-fi model if you decide not to pay for the plan. I couldn't see myself paying for a data plan anytime soon, but I do want a Vita, and I'd be inclined to get the 3G model just in case I one day have ample excess cash I can burn on the data plan.
