This was GAME, who are fairly significant. Amazon and others have all have significant cuts as well. In the UK, prices vary massively depending on where you look, so most people know to look around

Have any of those retailer cuts been permanent or just a temporary discount for a week or so?

It was the best part of a month. They just need some more games and all they announced at GamesCon was indie games (and Borderlands 2). I want some more AAA games please Sony!

The cheaper memory cards should also help, though they only seem to have had 25-30% cut off

Ok wasnt sure how long they lasted, around here there have been various discounts on Vita and Wii U but usually only last a couple days. But ya Iim very surprised they didnt have any AAA Vita games and Borderlands 2 doesnt count since its a year old port and will most likely sell like very little.

Vita needs the games that made PSP popular, an exclusive Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, God of War, Grand Theft Auto.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Precisely, as a start give us a port of FF Type 0.

For people who already own it, there is plenty of content, I am very happy with my Vita. But I would be happier if they gave me some of those games that you suggested

I really think God of War Ascension should have been a Vita title and Gran Turismo 6 should be on both PS3/Vita. Those 2 titles could have really helped Vita in west this year.

Yeah good call, but I do think they need some exciting new IP as well. But we'll see. I was a bit worried when Sony said that all of its studios were working on PS4 games, I hope they mis-spoke and they do at least have Sony Bend working on a Vita game

Of course they need some new ip to go along with those titles, but every console needs familiar series to help it sell.

Yeah, Sony aren't really doing anything right here

Did they announce how big the memory card price drop will be?

I believe I saw something on Gametrailers

I think it was

$80-32GB

$40-16GB

$20-8GB

$15-4GB

Not really sure what the point of the 4GB is anymore with only being $5 cheaper but whatever.  Also I was hoping for a 64Gb card at the 32GB one's old price lol

16GB and 32GB still high instead of insanely high. Be curious given this is MSRP drop what sales will be like in couple months.
