So to make this clear Wifi only is being discontinued? Cuz why else would they sell both for $200?


I think Wifi only is being discontinued so all Vitas will come with 3G at that new price.

It's more likely that the 3G one will be discontinued. The majority of bundles I can find are the wifi only ones, and in some stores they don't have the 3G version anymore.

If this event is anything to go by, no the 3G model is default now. Besides 3G costs next to nothing to put in the Vita. The only reason they had a 3G and a Wifi only model is because it allowed for Sony to sell the Vita at $300 to increase their profit margin/have a model that sold at profit. I think they should have never made the wifi only model to support 3G use. This is a good move for them, as the Vita's production cost are probably low enough to justifiy getting rid of the tiered models. It also stops confusing consumers.

Eliminating the 3G model doesn't make any sense, whichever way you slice it.

If we've learned something about Sony with the PSP and PS3 is that both lost features with the years.

The current PSP model you can find in the stores doesn't even have wifi or stereo sound, and I don't think dual speakers are that expensive. But anyway, time will tell.
