If you bought the 3G bundle at launch there was an offer to receive Super Stardust Delta upon activation of one month of 3G, so $10, but they threw in a free month, so buy one get one free. Stardust was $15 by itself and I got to try out 3G for 2 months, all for $10 over the $300. I really wanted it since it came with an 8GB though, since I knew the memory was so expensive. And I still have that card....at least until that 50% off 32GB comes in the mail.

Ahh, that's what it was, I never signed up for the 3g. I just wanted the 3g version.

If Sony stores are trying to discontinue the 3G model, why don't they just have an official price cut in the West on the 3G model only?

I don't understand Sony's logic in not cutting the price for the 3G model in the West if their going to discontinue it soon. It seems dumb not to.

I highly doubt they are discontinuing the 3G model, if anything they are getting rid of the Wifi only one. 3G costs a couple bucks or so and I think they had two models originally only to increase profit margins by enticing consumers to pay $300 for a 3G model. The Japan price cut puts both modes at the same price, indicating one of these versions will be on its way out. As said, 3G is cheap for Sony and they might even get some profit from the subscription. Eliminating it will cause bad PR, eliminate developer support for 3G-esque features, cripple GPS location based features. Eliminating Wifi only will increase support for these features, provide more benefits to future Vita buyers, and perhaps encourage some to upgrade in the future. The Wifi only model was a mistake, the Vita should have been 3G standard at $250. I'm sure that would have meant less profit for Sony...but maybe it would have helped sales. Ah, hindsight.

I enjoyed it, Pezus. It was pretty clear and funny to me.
