I'm waiting for a Vita for £200-£230 with a free game.


 Give it a month tops (I predict 2 weeks) and you'll see a Vita + memory card + game for less then £200. I don't base this on any 'insider knowledge' (Although I do know the retailers buy the Wifi model for £170) but simply my observations of the UK games market in general. Whatever you do if you're from the UK don't buy the Vita on launch day as better deals will be avaliable before March. 

it will kill me not having it when its out but you are very right.. im hoping Amazon.co.uk brings out a deal.. even amazon.fr have an amazing deal where it works out its only £191.00


 I'm expecting either Grainger Games or one of the big 4 supermarkets (Probably Sainsburys) to be the first to 'cut' sub £200 with a memory card / game. The simple fact is there are about 20 competiting retailers in the UK for the games market and one of them will sell the things at a loss, which even amounts to a £160 Vita or a £180 Vita bundle with Uncharted and an 8gb memory card.

 3DS was £220 on launch as a 'pre-order' and dipped to £160 with Ocarina of Time before the official price cut in August... Vita's pre-order price is about the same so it gives you a rough idea where it could end up.
