 I guess my post I wasn't very clear, the wate of money part was in the specific features I mentioned; 3G and forced save cards. Vita itself is the same as any game console and its value is based on the content per everyone's tastes.

However, as for overpriced, etc... didn't a 3rd party company just state the cost of materials on the 3G model was around $160?

That is true. No other cost at all. Sony makes $140 on every 3G model. That is why their profits are increasing at an amazing rate.

Whether that $160 figure is actually true or not is beyond me, but Sony doesn't actually make $299.99 off of every PS Vita sold. They sell to retailers for a discount, then you have to add on shipping fees, taxes, currency exchange rates, and all that stuff. I hope they profit from the Vita, and I am certainly buying one.
