More Retailers Slash Vita Prices On Eve of PlayStation Press Conference

Earlier today, multiple retailers slashed the price of the PlayStation Vita by $50, and where the 3G model is concerned, by $100.
Yesterday, Target started a sale on the handheld, marking down both the wi-fi and 3G models of the Vita to $199. Today, Best Buy and Amazon have also jumped on board. The wi-fi model of the PS Vita is available for $199 from Amazon, while both models are selling at Best Buy for the same price.

With Sony’s conference at Gamescom taking place tomorrow, this widespread and very significant price drop could hint at a forthcoming official announcement. Rumors about a redesigned Vita have been swirling and many are expecting Sony to announce new Vita bundles tomorrow.

I thought the price of the Vita itself was tame compared to the price of its memory cards. Let’s hope those get a significant price drop too. We’ll be extensively covering Gamescom, so stay tuned for any official related announcements.

Didnt retailers do this alot though all year? Anywayzzzzzzz

The vita needs games

That's getting so old now.

Killzone; Mercanary, Tearaway, God Eater 2, Final Fantasy X, X-2 HD Remake and a ton of other exclusives don't count then, huh? 

I need that memory card price cut in my life. $50 for 32GB is still ridiculous, but it's better than being dead on arrival like it is at current prices.

Be honest with me, how do these even compare to 3DS's library?

Sony doesn't have mobile games able to compete with Pokemon, so what the fuck is your point? All the games I listed are solid games worth getting hyped over and are high quality titles. Mercenary has gotten nothing but good press and it's been said to be the best mobile FPS ever, God Eater is pretty popular in Japan, the shonen jump exclusive game is popular in Japan, the FF ports should do well and are great games. Who the fuck cares if you like Pokemon and MH, not everyone does, point is Vita has games. 

I'm tired of this BS "Vita has no games' just because it's not selling well. It's not selling well because it lacks mainstream appeal. 

Every Vita thread is a dick measuring contest.

It lacks mainstream appeal because the amount of games it has is tiny compared to the 3DS

Memory cards are what need a price drop. I'd buy a ton of games on PSN (sale) if the 32 was around the 50 60 range. I'd buy two.
