After months of waiting and plenty of rumors, AT&T along with Sony have confirmed how much a 3G plan will set you back on the PlayStation Vita. Two month-to-month plans will be available when the PlayStation Vita launches next month. For $14.99, you can get 250MB. For $25, you can get 2GB. A contract isn't required for either month-to-month plan, and each plan includes free access to "29,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots."

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.

In a release, AT&T listed Vita features the 3G will take advantage of...
- Location-based application "near" will allow users to find out what other PS Vita owners in their vicinity are currently playing and what titles are most popular in the area. "near" also enables location-based gaming features such as "gifting," in which a user can access virtual game-related items that other users are sharing by checking in at geographic locations. For example, in the popular kart racing series ModNation Racers: Road Trip, PS Vita users will be able to collect rare gift items provided through the game when visiting specific points of interest in 45 major cities around the world. They can then share them with other PS Vita owners through the "near" application.
- "LiveArea" is an interactive interface for each PS Vita software title in which users can access the latest information for games through PlayStation Network.
- In addition, a variety of social networking and communications services such as Facebook, Flickr, foursquare, and Twitter will be available on PS Vita.
- PS Vita systems with an active AT&T data plan will also take advantage of software functionality developed specifically for the 3G-enabled model that allow users to game at the speed of their mobile lifestyle, including turn-based, asynchronous multiplayer gameplay, instantly updated rankings and leaderboards, immediate access to the latest downloadable add-on content, and real-time community news.
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.
