We all thought we weren't going to get a price drop in 2012, we fell for it. God job, Sony. Now Sony announced a European price drop out of nothing, which isn't permanent, but still good for a very significant discount. At least until the 31st of december!

Now that's what I call cheap. However here in UK with all the VAT and crap that will be added on, it will probably sell for £200.
@ GametimeUK...Ur Hilarious, One week its price, next week its Games. Dude make up ur mind.
I will never get a console for 2 games.
EDIT: I don't see where he's been trolling... aside from maybe one post that only applies if you have a very liberal definition of what 'trolling' is.
My point was that knowing Sony, an price drop next year like they said could very well mean the END of next year. So, with all these great games already out and coming out early 2013, why not pick up a Vita while they're cheap and get ahead of the curve/join the rest of us?
From my experiences, stating your opinion here on N4G is like saying "I'm the lord of the truth and you're all worthless!". At least, that's how people react here.
These days I posted a comment "I don't like the characters in PS All Stars, so I don't think I'll buy it". And then people were all over me saying "why do you think everydoby needs to think like you?", "stop being such an arrogant brat thinking that the game has to have characters that YOU like" and things like these.

That's because if you only play: cod, DOA, prototype, FF, characters which are not in PSA's (ATM) then is hard to believe you don't find the current line-up worthy of your time and just trolling.

Price is not as big a deal for me. But games are.
Haha, it funny how defensive Fanboys are. I'm not buying a system 'before' the games I want are out on it
wat
"But before you even consider purchasing the greatest handheld ever made..."
My God... the nerve on you people. I guess that's why Vita's been selling less than 10k monthly in Japan for a while now... Leave that fanboy crap at the door before telling someone what is the greatest handheld and what is not.
I'm sorry that I don't like the games Sony decided to use in PS All Stars. Does this make me a troll? Do I have to pretend I don't have my own taste and pretend I like everything so I'm not called a troll? I just don't like Infamous, Killzone, Uncharted, Twisted Metal and whatnot.
I decided to check the roster one more time. As I already knew, the only character that I really like is Parappa. I wish they used Lammy, too. I kind of like Nariko (never played Heavenly Sword, just saw cutscenes on Youtube) and I liked the trailers of the new Devil May Cry but I hardly know the new Dante. But these characters are not enough to make me want to play this game.
Ragnarok Odyssey and now AC Liberations? Unit 13 is pretty fun too.
Well those are really the two biggest things that determine the purchase of a console. If the price isn't right or there aren't a sufficient amount of games to satisfy the customer, then why should they have to buy it?
Even if the price is right now, if there aren't enough games, then why pay for it now?
Furthermore, why should they be criticized for not wanting something that you want? Who even cares? How does that even seem mature?
The fact that Jo's comment remains while the ones from people who just don't want to buy the console yet is unusual, to say the least.
Just because it's $187 in pounds doesn't mean dollars. It's still over $200. Secondly, there's no EXCUSE to buy a handheld for that price when there's not a lot of software to justify it's purchase. If A PS3 costs $250 w/ over 200 titles and a Vita costs $200 with 20 titles, guess which one gets sold first! Just because the Vita has a few games worth playing doesn't mean someone shells out $200 for it. It's a handheld and that in itself makes you question its lifespan. Put a $100 more dollars and you have tablet. You sound like child with that comment. Seems like you don't have SENSE when it comes to DOLLARS
Every one go buy the vita because JoGam said so!
Don't take it personally :P
It's a great little machine and tbh, i don't really see what the 3ds has games wise other then mario.
It's not a price drop when a retailer lowers their price.
Mindless fools really, the journalists.
So mindless, not really. Before posting I asked for the additional info I needed to know it's a Sony price drop or a retail price drop. :) It's legit.
thanks for the article. might consider buying it
None of the games appeal to you. None of the features appeal to you. The price doesn't appeal to you. You have no real desire to buy this system, but you comment on it all the time.
If this cut DID spur sales through the holiday period, you'd come up with some other reason for why it would fail. If Sony decidedly, separately, to redouble efforts on mobile devices- which Sony treats as rather a separate market, by the way- you'd be saying that was a sign of them losing faith in the Vita, no matter how well that device does.
This should increase sales at LEAST a little bit from now through the holidays. It'll be interesting to see if the price cut spreads to other regions, as well.
So you already have the pricecut. It's Europe that pays more for PSV.
And I still think I got a pretty good deal.
So your offer was even more profitable.
Ps everybody here needs to watch video game high school on YouTube. Awesome.
US already pays less for PSV from the very beginning.
Sales can't be great. Has it been a year?
