Vita price will drop from 24,980 to 19,980 for Japan. Announced to come on 2/28 for both models: 3G/WIfi.
Assume US will follow.

I guess that this will be announced on Wed during SONY press conference.

I'm not gonna pick up a Vita until I can hook it up to my TV. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN SONY!

If it gets to $100-$150 around the holidays with a price drop plus holiday sale, I'll bite. Probably not a minute before. I only will probably get about 5 games for it, so I don't want to spend a lot.

Well ~$215 depending on the exchange but for that price they get Phantasy Star Online bundled with it.

I hope we get some new colors and a sweet bundle. Not like Madden, AC, or Black Ops.

Not to mention a needed drop in the memory prices too.

I already own Virtue's Last Reward for it, but I don't have a Vita yet. I really want to play it and I don't know anyone with a Vita so I'm waitingly patiently for it to get to the $150 mark. Hopefully it gets there on some type of Black Friday deal, but most likely they'll just have sales on bundles.

Soon the memory cards will cost more than the system!

You're probably right. They'll announce a "price drop" for the Vita to $199, and then at the end "tease" their release of PS4, which they'll save for E3 in June. It's almost inevitable they're releasing it this September, as is Microsoft releasing Xbox720 or whatever they decide to call it.

I'm happy I have such a backlog, because I don't plan on buying another console for 3-5 years.

Does the 200 dollar system include any games or a memory card? Or is it a no thrills package?

This is just the JPN but they get Phantasy star Online 2 with it. Don't know if US/EU is getting a cheap bundle.

I hope the U.S. price drop happens today or Tuesday just to get that out of the way for an all PS4 Wednesday .

I bet you the big news is at best a Vita drop, vita memory drop, and a teaser for PS4.

well the one in Japan is a special ice gray with fantasy star online 12, so I would imagine itll be the same over here, just a different game(ex. madden, asscreed, bops bundles).

I dont know but yeah I really dont want to hear about a bunch of shit on Wednesday. I hope it's all PS4. If they actually have anything new for the Vita to announce that'd be fantastic.

I doubt it with all the press and investors there. At the very least they'll probably talk about PS4 for a few minutes. I hope. If they underwhelm it's not going to be good at all.

yeah, they purposely created too much hype to simply just tease the system. Its going to be a full blown showcase.

Wow, I didn't even notice that wasn't the White Vita. Wonder if we'd be lucky enough to get a red one.

in the same video they showcased a red soul sacrifice limited edition vita,

it was to be sold at the old ~250 price point though

Well, there are already rumors from GamerXchange and Patent Bolt that a new 4g model with a hdmi port is going to be released. And since they are now pricing the 3g and regular wi-fi model at the same price point, it looks like there may be some credence to those rumors.

for those that preordered Soul Sacrifice combo, it's 29800 ==> 24800

also PSO2 is a free game so the bundle is...not really special..but you do get 1000 PSO2 money and a Silver colored Vita
