Vita 3G Bundle

[Demon_Skeith]

It's well documented on IGN that the PlayStation Vita isn't selling incredibly well in Japan and that IGN Tech Tower Scott Lowe doesn't think you should buy a 3G Vita. Well, Sony's responded with a 3G Vita bundle that adds a whole bunch of stuff without any additional money.

GameStop and Amazon have listed a $300 PlayStation Vita 3G bundle that includes the system, an 8 GB memory card, a voucher for a free PlayStation Network game, and a free month of 250MB 3G service via a "DataConnect Session Pass."


Although we don't know what the PSN game voucher will be for, it is interesting that Sony is piling all of this into one box and keeping the 3G Vita price at the $300 announced at E3. Thanks to felliniflex for the tip!

Good bundle. Free game? That's like $40 right there!

 

[Demon_Skeith]

it's a good bundle, but draws you into a contract.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

You don't have to apply to the 3G contract.

You don't have to apply to the 3G contract.

then isn't the 3G useless then since it doesn't even have wifi? Or am I wrong on that?

 

[GracefulAssassin]

There is the Wi-Fi, it just gives you an extra option to select a 3G data plan if you want.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

sooo wait, sony is charging extra for one option that you need to pay more to activate?

 

[GracefulAssassin]

What? 3G requires more technology, and is expensive to include. Most phones now a days also require data plans, like Android and iPhone. 3G is a Internet service you can use where the towers are located.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

so if you get the bundle, your still pay more then you should have to?

 

[GracefulAssassin]

What? How are you paying more?

 

[Demon_Skeith]

if you buy the bundle and have no plan on using the 3G.

So? You get the extra feature and are still saving money.
