Do you know anything about the Vita at all? If Sony eliminates one model, it should be the 3G one. Nobody is interested in it, you can't play multiplayer games online without Wi-Fi anyway, so why bother? You think people really want to bother getting a card just to be able to check trophys online and browse the shop or internet on a Vita? $3 is a lot when you are to cut price and lose money on every console sold, especially for a feature nobody cares about. Sony has to cut the costs, and this is the best way. The only reason I can think of justifying this model was to entice mobile operators to offer a 3G Vita instead  or additionally to a smartphone. Can't really say it was worth the effort, so now they should just forget about this model.


Oh, that's really sweet. Yes people use mobile devices to browse the internet, youtube, skype, facebook, twitter, etc. etc.

By next year the cost to manufacture the Vita will be down and they won't be taking a loss like they would have by doing it this year. 3G is an optional feature and there are those who prefer to have the option and those who actually choose to use it. People spend thousands of dollars a year on phones that do this, it isn't outrageous that the Vita offers it too. The iPad has 3G option and those sell well. The 3G card is a small cost in the overall breakdown of the console.

You aparently don't know anything about the Vita. It is a gaming tablet handheld with apps. Some people perfer to have 3G for their mobile devices, it is very common.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
