In the UK I have seen a Vita + 1 game and a 4GB memory card for £179.99. So the price cut needs to be around £159.99 to have any impact at all.

You do realize there's a difference in dropping MSRP, and the retailer's discretion for dropping the price themselves right?

Dropping MSRP will result in even lower retailer prices because they are paying less per console to the manufacturer, so have more room to mark down while chipping into their profit margins.

Also, the Vita prices are higher in Japan to start with. I would probably expect £175 with retailers taking it down to £150. But also note that Sony doesn't set an RRP in the UK any more since it means so little

The most exciting thing for me is FFX, I have been fearing that it is heading into vapourware territory, but now there is hope again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But of course, they are announcing an announcement... and it might never leave Japan. I have always thought an FF European release was inevitable, but after Type 0 I can't be so confident
