Now we just need confirmation on to things for the device to be a total win.

Price on Storage Solutions
Price on Games (There's a thread right now stating 40$[same as PSP and 3DS], I'm just waiting for that to be official.)


If it is SD cards and Games are $40, it would be a full house for sony. 

We can dream, right?
I doubt it'll be SD card but who knows.

I thought someone was saying it had 2 slots.  One for the games and one that was an SD slot.  Maybe it was just a rumor.  But even if they do go with MemoryStick again, it shouldn't be too big of a deal.  I mean the prices for those have dropped quite a bit.  Still about a $5-$10 difference between them and SD, but overall, not too bad.  Of course, it depends on which brand you go with, as well.

You can get a 32GB DS card for 50$.

I really hope the Vita will use SD cards.

OMFG YESSSS!!!!!

I was prepared not to buy Vita games from Australia when I return for Holidays since I'll be gett my Vita in America and will be there for most of the time per year but this is just great news. No I can buy from Australia when new games release.

Another good decision after another.

I'm very impressed Sony!


Vita will be released during holydays only in Japan.

I wonder when they'll announce the release date. Is there any big gaming conference in the coming months?

Bizarre strategy, unless Sony wants Xmas to boost PSP one last time in the West and also to push PS3 more to better gather what it sowed with all the recent game releases and all the ones still to be released in 2011.
