Holy ***! NGP will be 250$ only! (really?)
Sony just announced at their E3 conference that the NGP (PS Vita) will be sold 250$ in the US… but of course there’s a trick
The NGP will be 250 euros in Europe, that’s 370$, 25’000 yen in Japan, that’s 310$, screw those marketing techniques, seriously…. That’s for the Wifi only version, while the Wifi+3G version will be sold 300$ in the US, 30’000 yen in Japan, that’s 375$, and 300 euros in Europe, that’s 440$.
Ok, so, looking at all the prices, depending on where you live and what model you take, the PS Vita will cost you somewhere between 250$ and 440$. Overall that’s not as bad as I thought it would be, but it probably won’t be enough to convince me to get one.
We initially forecasted the NGP would be sold 328$… which is very close to the average worldwide price (345$). Our community was spot on 🙂

ill be one of the first to buy, oh yea first!!
I think i’ll be buying one just because they have uncharted on it running smooth.Gfx for Vita look awesome
3DS will FAIL
Well $250’s my price and that is toooooo good for me 😀 buying one first day!
oh dam it hot
I’m waiting to see how:
a) The overall ergonomics of the thing works with games. This new Sony handheld is still missing a few buttons. Plus, I don’t want to touch the screen everytime I’m playing Uncharted.
b) How FIFA translates to the NGP. Whether EA can bring the console experience to handheld, I’m sold.
If these things play out well, I’ll be going for the cheaper one.
No you don’t have to use touch screen, they clearly said that there was other options.
hope to buy 1 in first day too, price is mora than fare
Living in New Zealand 250 USD equates to about 300 NZD. Knowing our lack of luck it’ll be selling for around 399 here though… :/
fck’d up dollars … how can they give US a reduction of about 120 dollars thats almost 50% off :/
Anyway, its a nice price for the hardware, but they only have 80 games sofar its not a bunch-load of games. I’m waiting until they bring out a game I really want.
Cause I don’t need to know my neighbour just played tetris for the last 16 hours.
they’re not discounting anything, that’s just how money conversions work.
I’ll be waiting for a Vita Slim. That sounds like a weight-loss drink =0
No thank you Sony. I will pass.
Who knows, if you guys would for once stop those Europe-Raping-Prices then I would consider, but honestly, I’m not wasting 300€ on this.
Sounds nice to some people, some don’t… I’m guessing yet if I will buy one, not sure. The price sounds good for me, but there are some other point to take into account. So time will say.
in brazil this ps vita will cost 700U$D (plus taxes/ if can´t be faked)
what do they mean by HOLIDAY SEASON???

sorry if this is the second comment but my PC is weird today and doeant show the other 1.
just wan tto make sure its there
Just like I thought 250 I nauled the estimate
The price isn’t bad, but a little unfair for us European. I am not that interested of games (well ps2 game support would be nice). At the moment I would like to have simple things like a better browser, pdf/image reader and support that allows anyone to make applications for the console. So if Vita has similar features as CFW, I’ll get one.
I don’t care if it only costs $10 and gives blow jobs, I’m not giving Sony another dime of my money. You know, after what Sony has been through, you’re going to have to agree to all sorts of ridiculous things just to just the thing on. And how much do you think the games will cost? It’s digital only but I bet they’ll be charging $40-$50 per game still.
Well, you ARE getting the full next gen experience, translated (unabridged, hopefully) to a handheld. We’re lucky the games aren’t going to be $60. But yeah, it’s going to have some sick, privacy-invading DRM. Nintendo has access to everything you do on your 3DS, including pictures taken with its camera, according to the TOS. I can imagine Sony being much worse. So no next gen handheld for me.
First off I don’t think $60 is worth it for most games anyway. Secondly, they’re digital which means they don’t have all the overhead of physical games. Thirdly, you wont be able to resell your games which lowers their value.
I don’t think $60 is worth it for most games anyway. On top of that they’ll be digital which means they wont have all the overhead costs of a physical game and you wont be able to resell it.
The games are on flash memory cards as well as digital downloads. It isn’t all digital.
Why Sony hate Europe so MUCH!?!?
HAHA that’s called racial profiling.
Oh yeah, and I wonder how much the games will cost…i figure somewhere around $30-50
I already tried one out their badass. To try one out you have to live in a driving distance :).
Thank god I love in the US LOLOLOLOLOLO HAHAHAHAHAH ROFL
And again in Mexico it will be over priced…
Sony’s consoles in Mexico are not overpriced. Just compare prices in USA and in mexican pesos: differences are minimal. I think games are the expensive ones. Besides that, you can buy a console in a fast trip to USA…
No Specs announced, good price but at what price? I was down with the fullout PSPLife….still be good but.
Wololo is NGP hackable?….I heard that its gonna be easier to hack than psp 1000,2000,3000 and PSP Go
Yeah! and it’s been confirmed by NASA that Santa Claus’s toy factory is exactly in the middle of the North Pole…
Nobody has used a PSVita completely and they say it will be hacked!!
No need to hack it: It will come bundled with PRO HEN. May be all you will be happy.
Damn!! I’m about to finish my student phase and I don’t think I’ll have enough money to buy it! Damn!!
damn I want it so badly, but no money 🙁
gonna sell my new psp 3004 asap!
dont blame sony for the price hike blame the taxes that get placed on it. just look at how much you get ripped of on game prices
I bought my piece of *** PSP Go for $250!!!!!!!! I got ripped off!
I would wait till they discover a way to dump its catridge … for the mean time 3DS is my favourite
… holy ***!!
Anyone else concerned how it’ll be portable? I mean, I found the PSP 3k to be big so i bought the Go… But this is even bigger than the 3k… How exactly do I get this badass *** to fit in my pocket!? (especially the two analog sticks, they’ll get in the way too)
Lolol, I forgot about the PSP Go being 250$ at release. I mean, I got mine a few months ago, NIB for 180$ + 5 shipping on ebay, and it’s price dropped to 200$, and now it’s price is only 50$ more than it’s dropped price… Well, I want the 3G version, but I don’t have barely any money… I guess I’ll sell my PSP 3k on ebay, and maybe even my PSP Go… but I’m still worried about it fitting in my pocket when I could barely get my 3k to be conformable in my pocket, and now the vita is bigger, and not to mention the dual analog STICKS getting in the way/getting damaged… oh damn, this is something to think about… maybe I’ll just wait.
