Article: PS Vita News - Shock Prices Due to Performance & Security

[iPS]

Yeah $250 for the Vita is actually a good price. The 3DS was priced at $300 at first before the price drop. Its still struggling in sales.

The prices will drop by the next coming summer or fall season anyway for the memory cards.

How many millions does Sony get a year again? They couldn't have dropped the price a bit for the cards? They had to get greedy didnt they? LOL

Well you better be concerned considering the games are going to be over 2GB and the unit only has 16gb internal you'll be buying those high priced piece of crap memory sticks
and sony will be laughing all the way to the bank STUPID.

How is game size relevant, since you can buy the retail version of a game on a cartridge without worrying about scratches? Even game saves and updates are saved on the game's cartridge itself.

Not all games will be saved to the game cart, some will require you to have a memory card. Also, games can be downloaded, which is more convenient than having 50 different game carts, so some people will go that route.

Well this confirms it for me I will not get a Vita until another company make a cheaper MC some games require MC to even save game
