All PS Vitas $199 at Target August 18-24

Great now it just needs some great games.

I don't know at this point there isn't anything on the system that I want to play. When the first PSP came out there was a ton of software i wanted to play on it... FF7 Crisis Core, (its crowning achievement if you ask me.) was one of my all time favorite games on that little Hand held.. not to mention the God of war games... Silent Hill, MGS Acid, Mgs P.O., Peace Walker, Kingdom Hearts... there was just a lot of reason to want one... unfortunately that isn't the case with the Vita.


I'd rather get a Nintendo Wii U at this point, and thats not saying much.

Its a shame really, the Vita is a fantastic piece of kit and I can only imagine its capabilities later on when developers get more confident, I hope for the sake of Handhelds that a title comes along to bolster its sales and make it a worthwhile endeavor for Sony.

I loved the PSP when I got one mine in 07' and continue to use it even now granted mostly for emulation but also for the games it had on its own.

Sadly though the price just deters people, even I bought a 3DS over saving for Vita but only really because of Pokémon X/Y other then that I'm not that interested in the 3DS line up. Something else that's note worthy is that the money you spend on a Vita will add up to the same as getting a 3DS + a good amount of games for it because the 3DS games are bloody expensive in comparison to PSVita titles.

anyone want a killzone closed beta code? don't have a vita

What they should do is release Little Big Planet Karting Vita and Bioshock for the Vita and I will buy the bloody thing.

Anyone waiting on memory cards should wait till the sony gamescom conference as there have been rumors of price cuts going all around.

no thanks. my smartphone can do more than this handheld can ever do.

It seems tempting but I know there is a new version of this system around the corner. I just know there is. March next year they will announce a new version of the Vita that will probably launch in September 2014. I just can't get a Vita now knowing that there will be a new one so soon.

Does that include the Walking Dead Bundle?

make it 100 and make me use my provider then we talk

Still don't want it... zzzzzzzzzz

Memory cards as still too expensive. And those that buy the 3G are stuck on AT&Terrible and have to pay deep out their colon for crappy service. Still not worth it.

Sony should make them all that way, why are they waiting so long for this price drop.

I was very tempted to buy one and went to Target last night. It said "limited stock" but they had at least one available. I didn't pick it up.

$50 isn't a huge saving tbh and I think the system is still overpriced along with the ridiculous memory pricing.

I'll buy the system if it is for $149 with 4GB bundled or $199 with Wifi (3G not needed for me) and 32GB and bundled with a game. Else there's not much point to the system.

I think the games are lacking for this system. Because of their greed and short sightedness. Excellent and perhaps the best ever handheld marred by bad business decisions are killing it.

i already confirmed i wouldnt pay over 99 bucks for 1 and thats only if it came with a game and over priced memory card

So tempted to buy one but not many games Id actually play. Guess will continue to wait.

Why didn't they make a 3/4G and Wi-Fi version like smart phones?

So poor sales aren't enough to justify a price cut? Granted sales have improved since release, but not enough to warrant $250-$300 plus a memory stick, extended battery, and at least one game to play. Factoring all that in, it could cost as much as a PS4 depending on the memory stick. Hopefully Sony gets their heads out of their ass and makes a common sense move.

"Price cut" has quite a specific meaning, and cannot used interchangeably with "sale" or temporary markdowns. Tsk tsk, GS.
