This holiday period is extremely important for Vita, generally low sales equal low 3rd party support.
I'm sure Sony will do a permanent price cut next year though.

that really is an amazing bundle but honestly im quite pissed that only 10 months ago i shelled out over £300 for my wifi vita, uncharted and an 8gb memory card on the day it released. Sony should give some sort of reward to us early adopters, similar to what nintendo did with their ambassador programme.

If your VGC game collection is accurate you only buy Nintendo brand hardware. Why even bother posting in this thread in an attempt to pass off your opinion as relevant if you are biased against the product on offer?

Additionally, if the product is sold out and it is garnering much positive feedback than wouldn't that be a far better indicator of whether or not a deal is "awesome" than your lone opinion?

PS3 always sold well/sold great/sold out in BF(according to some internet user) until official report
It's not first time,not really surprise me...oh yeah +PSV this time

....No. This is Black Friday, there are crazy deals for almost every single console out there. 
You're not going to get rewarded for being an early adopter, that is a reward in itself.

Nah, from what I saw Sony sold much better than last year. I tend to shop between two Best Buys that are near my house. Last year with Kinect hitting its stride, Sony got its ass handed to them in my neck of the woods. This year Sony is and Microsoft are both selling very well.

Um. If you'd read my posts of the last year you'll see I hate Nintendo's actions. I have nothing against the PS Vita other than the fact it is not selling. I don't have biases by manufacturer.

Internet feedback is worthless. It being sold out does mean something, but it took a long time to sell out compared to other similar deals indicating poor relative value. I was commenting on the fact VGC was making it out to be a deal but few are actually biting at that price, hence it is not a deal.

Fair enough but a couple things. This deal is indeed a great value and many people here are acknowledging this. Just because some people are blowing it out of proportion doesn't mean that you shouldn't be dismissive of their opinions. That being said, this really should have been the base price for the Vita from the beginning as far as I'm concerned.

Value is an economic construct of what people believe something to be worth. It is great savings (as in, it is much lower than the normal price) but it is not great value (it's still too expensive at this price for people who are considering a Vita to jump on it). The system itself is priced higher than its value by definition.

Sony aren't stupid. They are pricing it to maximise profit. Given their financial shape they cannot afford to be a loss leader; investors currently much prefer small unit sales at small profit than large unit sales at no profit, because the latter only makes sense if your company has enough of a future to turn around that loss. All the internet people who say it 'should' be at a lower price are claiming that they are better economists than Sony.

Kaz is correct that the videogame business has the greatest potential upside with a new strategy, but that strategy will have to wait for next generation. His concern right now is stopping the bleeding of the TV unit and a few others.
