Forums - Sony - PS Vita price drops to £169.99 in summer clearance

great deal if I do say so myself



Around the Network

Great deals, especially the Amazon one.

A price cut coming this xmas? If Sony want to hit the projected 10m then it must be coming.

Sony's flagship handheld the PS Vita has seen respectable sales however Play.com and Amazon have both decided to offer some wallet-beating deals 


Has it?

I only really keep track of Japan sales, where sales are imo not 'respectable', so I'm not sure.  However, I thought it wasn't doing too well anywhere?




Vita's not selling too well, but it's on track to beat X360's and PS3's first years since WW launch.

Granted, the HD consoles didn't exactly set the world on fire at launch, but it means that if Sony support the thing properly it could see the same kind of growth.

Eh, 3DS XL looks too awesome.
Maybe I'll get Vita in a couple years, but probably not



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

Fairly bogus comparison there imo.

When compared to its peers it is looking at a dreadful first 12 months  (DS, PSP and 3DS).  This price cut needs to be permanent and official.


Any word on memory card prices for the Vita?

you get a free 4GB one in the Amazon deal...  this isnt an official price drop.


Oh I know that, I was wondering if they had a amazon deal on a 32 gb memory card or 16 gb xD. 

Bleh, 4gb memory card is too small imo....but its a start I guess.

Unless you are going all digital or going to use the device for movies/songs etc..4GB will definitely be enough for you for a while at least. I have one and have yet to fill it out. Have quite a few apps plus few digital games as well + bunch of screenshots I have been taking (which I really should post in the official thread lol)

I wanna get some PSP games on the Vita, so yep I'll be going digital xD. Hopefully there will be some good news this holiday!


With going digital the good thing is the investment will pay off with time...and also the convenience. Been playing Unit 13 and then started playing MK. Both are fantastic games but I wish I had bought one digitally..would be easier to swap

so fingers crossed..if I see a good deal I might bite and buy a larger card as well

Great deal there. I paid about £340 in total on release day and I still think its been worth it so far. Sony really need to advertise the thing and get it into the hands of consumers.



I've seen it for this much at online retailers quite a few times prior to this deal. I doubt it will boost sales much if at all but since you get a memory card it's a solid deal.



I still believe Gamescom will come with an official price cut. Why else would the Madden and AssCreed bundles be $250 with a 3rd party title & free memory card? That Madden bundle also releases a week or so after Gamescom.

$50 cut across all SKUs, B_E_L_I_E_V_E!

 

It also explains why most, if not all games have been pushed to September and later. To take full advantage of the price cut before the buying season.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
