Sony has just announced they’re slashing the price on the PS Vita to $199.99. The portable is also being slashed to €199 across European territories.
Sony is also making significant reductions to the cost of memory cards for the PS Vita, which up until now have been priced extremely high compared to the cost of SD cards and other types of flash memory. The 4GB Vita memory card now starts at $14.99, down from an original price of $19.99. 8GB cards have been reduced to $19.99, from $29.99. 16GB is now $39.99, from $59.99 and the 32GB card is $79.99, down from the astronomically outrageous price of $99.99.
Sony is hoping this new price point will help boost the momentum of “the ultimate companion device for PS4”. This cut is effective immediately with U.S. retailers like Best Buy, Target and Amazon already selling the Vita at its new lower price.
