LAS VEGAS--AT&T customers will soon be able to get their game on with the PlayStation Vita, as the carrier announced pricing and availability date today.
Shipping on February 22, the 3G/Wi-Fi model of the Vita will cost $299, with the choice of two data plans. There is a $14.99 plan that offers 250MB data, and a $25 plan that gives you 2GB of data. Both plans will be month-to-month and will not require a long-term contract. A free game download is included with the purchase of the Vita and a data plan.
The gaming handheld will launch with a number of social networking apps. This includes a location-based app called Near that will show what other Vita owners are playing nearby and what titles are most popular in that area. With Near, you'll also be gift game-related features to other users. Meanwhile, LiveArea is an interactive interface that gives you access to the PlayStation Network, so you can get the latest information on games.
The Vita features a 5-inch OLED capacitive touch screen, a rear touch panel, an ARM Cortex-A9 core (quad-core) CPU and a SGX543MP4+ GPU.[/left]

I just think the pricing for Vita is over priced and wonder how long it will be and how much Sony will have to loose again before they wake up and see the light and drop the price, seriously, wake up Sony!

2 GB lol

There are quite a few 2.5+ GB Vita games on the PSN, Uncharted, Blazeblue, and Dream Club Zero

Then there is the limit of 20 mb for downloads Sony put on the Vita.

AT&T messed up badly.

3G purchasers also get a free Vita game to download off the PSN Store, regardless of if you pay for a contract or not. So you can basically get the 3G Vita and a copy of Uncharted (provided you buy a memory card) off the store for the same price as a WiFi Vita + Uncharted + memory card. Unfortunately most of the Vita games I'm eying are like $40 or $30, Uncharted isn't interesting me as much.

Confirmation please? IGN's saying the opposite on two points. Where did you read that you'll be able to
1) - Be able to download the free game on a 3G Vita regardless if you subscribe to a data plan?
2) - Pick from any game on PSN?

IGN says that you MUST buy one data plan before you can get a free game and that the list of free games is not known yet.
Vita players will be able to activate the 3G data plans directly from their 3G Vitas. Once the data plan is activated, players "will be eligible to choose one free download from a list of select games available on the PlayStation Store." The list of free games was not revealed.

Unless you have a very reliable source, I think you're entirely wrong.

$25 for me is kinda okay. I mean you'll pay MUCH more without a data plan.

Off topic: Singapore announced their official Vita price. It's S$399 for the WiFi only version. I thought Singapore should be cheaper than HK/Taiwan?

Singapore usually has higher prices when converting to USD. Kind of like Yen ==> USD
