Honestly, I would consider buying one if it was around $199.
Sony is an idiot, if it thinks the vita will do better here than it did in japan with these insane prices.

You obvisoulsy don't understand the complexities of the world market or in any case, done your homework. The Japanese exchange equivelant price of a Wifi only Vita is $312. Imagine paying that for a Vita instead of the $250. The US is getting special treatment because we've proven ourselves time and time again a bunch of whiny little babies....well I guess also because of the difficult economy, but Europe isn't getting as big of a break as us, especially considering they through those launch bundles at us. True, the high price in Japan is because of the strong Yen, but just think, if the Vita is selling what it is in Japan at that price, it should be just fine elsewhere. Speculation of course, but there is a lot of analysis out there pointing to a stronger western release. Will the West adopt a handheld as vigorously as Japan, probably not, but the psp is still selling well over there and not here so a market looking for a new product is here.

While I have seen speculation both for a strong and a weak launch, I have seen no analysis done; and I don't really expect one until sales numbers are released.
