I'm on the verge of getting one. If they drop the price again i'll just wait for next year, that way I get one for $99.


Eh, I got one used in good condition for $102 this summer on Ebay that came mostly complete (just missing the 6 AR cards...not that I care). I just checked Ebay/Amazon and it seems prices have risen (likely due to the holidays).

The original source removed the claim that this is an official price drop. They say it may just be from a single retailer.

Killjoy. I had this nice rant ready about how this would just be a band-aid, and that the lack of games in the West was a much bigger issue. Thanks.

Why didn't you just ignore my post?  Everyone else did.


I'll update the OP.

Both Vita and 3DS sales will explode in the West when they are hacked. Not saying its right, but that's just the way it is.

Has there actually been evidence of this happening?

It's mostly anecdotal with me but I have known many people that bought both a PSP and a DS only after finding out they have been hacked.... and I have personally been on the fence on whether or not I want a Vita for a while.  If it was hacked, I would buy it, not for downloading retail games (I'm a fan of supporting quality products with my money) but because it's a nice piece of tech and I'm sure the home brew community would do some really interesting stuff with it.  

It would be interesting to try to and match the sales trends of the original DS and PSP to when the systems where originally hacked.  Someone less lazy then me should get on that.
