Sony offering Vita bundles with free stuff for the US launch

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/27/sony-reveals-new-3g-wifi-ps-vita-bundles-free-data-psn-games-a/

Well it looks like Sony is already expecting low demand for the Vita and is trying to make sure that what happened in Japan doesnt happen in the U.S.

Sigh everything for the US, why no Canada? -__-

Poor Sony, the just can't get a break these last five years. What happened to their fans? Where are all the people who buy Sony products on name alone? Oh, that's right... Most people aren't mindlessly running out to get teh Sony tech, like Sony would have you believe. That's why they have to make these lame deals.

Sony lost its "premium tech company" image a long time ago. Unfortunately Sony still believes they have it.

Europe gets screwed again. US sucks

So desperate.

Since when does Sony bundle free stuff with one of their consoles? :o

Brace yourselves, Sony will be offering VITAs in no time.

The only thing I am waitng for is a price drop.

It will probably happen about a month after launch.

Didn't Sony also run a promotion with Bravias during the PS3 launch?

Wait, so Sony is doing exactly what everyone said that they should do, and now you're attacking them for it?

Where's the attacking? People are seeing how desperate Sony is and Sony are being called out on it.

Um, why do you even need to "call out" Sony :?

Still not interested at all

I plan to get a 3DS for sure, that has games i want to play than just better graphics and zero games i want

What good is it to have good graphics when i wont be buying any games to see them ?

I wouldnt say they've lost the 'premium tech' image, its just unless youre apple, premium tech just doesnt move in the same quantity especially in this harsh economy.

great choice on the 3DS.

Btw, isnt the free bundle for the 3G model? Pretty much everyone was spot on when they said the 3G version was not gonna sell zilch

Wow. Just wow. Not this deal. The responses to this. This is nothing but a good thing, but somehow the mindless Vita/Sony haters STILL find something to hate? Wow. The mindless Vita/Sony hate knows no bounds.

Anyway this deal better come to the UK. If it does I MAY cancel my wifi only preorder and get the 3G version with memory stick. Depends on exactly how the pricing works out. If it doesn't come to the Uk then that's kinda lame.

Obviously some people have different views on what 'attacking' actually is :| I thought it was a desperate move from Nintendo to cut the price of the 3DS, does that mean I'm attacking them? I'm just stating facts. Stop being oversensitive, it's irritating.

this deal is a sham..

they did the same thing with move...

350 for the ps3 move bundle...why not offer the 160GB model with move for 300 or 275....but its only the 250GB model..

they sucker you into thinking you got a deal..

Nothing for Europe? Yeah I guess the entire world only consists of Japan and the U.S. in Sony's eyes. :roll:
Bunch of self-conceited arrogant pricks. I own a PS3 and how they treat us in Europe is like dogsh*t.

sony sure is desperate these days. how pityful. :(

coming out in a month or so and barely any commercials. They are their own worse enemies.eboyishere

This is very true. Where's the damn ads Sony? Bundle is nice and all, but I seriously doubt many most people don't even know what the Vita is, let along the fact that it's coming out in a few weeks.

ummm bundles happen all the time. stores make bundles individually to entice customers to buy from them, thats how business works.

Its not MS or Nintendo that is the biggest threat to Sony. Sony is the biggest threat to Sony.

ESPN college basketball was "sponsored by Playstation Vita" last night. I think it was the halftime show, and college basketball final. I wasn't really paying attention (since I was doing work). So I didn't catch if there was actually Vita commercials during the commercial breaks as well. I would assume there were though as usually "sponsored by" means they bought commercial time as well.

Well it looks like Sony is already expecting low demand for the Vita and is trying to make sure that what happened in Japan doesnt happen in the U.S.
