PlayStation Vita

GameStop has revealed the North American pricing of Sony's Vita memory cards. Four different sizes have been priced, ranging from 4GB to 32GB.

 The 4GB card will be available for $24.99, followed by the 8GB card at $39.99 and the 16GB card at $69.99. A 32GB card will also be available for $119.99, nearly half of the system's $250 price.

GameStop also lists a PlayStation Vita USB Cable for $14.99 and a travel pouch, in-ear headset, charging cradle and AC adapter at $19.99 each. Other accessories include a portable charger for $49.99, a car adapter for $17.99 and a card case for $9.99. A Starter Kit will also be available for $29.99, bundling together the pouch, car adapter, headphones and card case, as well as a protective film and cleaning cloth.

These prices haven't been officially announced by Sony, and it isn't yet known if any of them will be made available as pre-order bonuses like they were in Europe. The Vita will be released in the U.S. and Europe on February 22, 2012.


Now I find some things interesting about this. One of the things that I would like to point out would be the pricing of the memory cards. HOLY MAN! a 32 GB card will be 120 bucks. That's quite expensive. For that price, you could get 2 brand new PS3 games. Seems a little much to me, but what can ya do. There was just a patch that came out for the PS3 that was made for when the Vita comes out. Makes your console compatible with the Vita. Personally, I really want one. The graphics supposedly are about as good as a PS3. Which to me.. Wow. That's all I gotta say. You know, there was a big deal about the 3DS. Because of the 3D aspect of things. But now with the Vita coming out.. Talk about some competition. Going to be some good competition for Nintendo.

That's all for today. Make sure to dress warm.
