PS Vita games reduced in price at Gamestop

PSX-Sense writes "Gamestop suddenly reduced the prices of PS Vita games today."

If you paid full price for the games and then suddenly the price dropped you would be a bit pissed.

I wonder why the prices have dropped like that? Unless the website is full of crap.

You'll get your money back if you preordered and paid the full price. I for one will gladly take the 10 dollars back that I spent on Modnation racers.

No one was charged. They don't charge you until the game is shipped and none of these are out yet in the US and Europe. Gamestop also has a disclaimer that the price might change since the final product is not available yet and has not had final pricing yet.

I wonder if This is to counter the cheaper PSN downloads over store bought ?

[Haunter_]

It's probably the prices switching from placeholder to actual prices.

[solidt12]

That's exactly what it is. The Price has always been 39.99 Gamestop just didn't update until they got an official price list.

good, now drop the prices of the memory cards and i'll buy your system sony.

[teedogg80]

The price of a memory card won't keep me from getting this bad boy when it comes out.

[MasterCornholio]

Yes I agree that the memory card is a poor excuse for not getting a Vita. People who can't afford a memory card and a Vita can't afford a Vita by itself so whats the point of bashing it?

Anyways if you don't want a Vita there's always the 3DS theres nothing wrong with you if you buy it.

Lol I sounded a bit like Reggie back there.

All PS Vita games are supposed to be $39.99. How much was Gamestop asking for before?

[falcon262]

They were listed @ 49.99 but those were place holder prices.

[frelyler]

Right, just like the price on memory cards.

[Ddouble]

Pricing for all software will range from $9.99-$49.99 (MSRP)

[Ryo-Hazuki]

Some games will be 29.99 and some will be 39.99

Funny when they say all of a sudden when there are no offical prices for Vita anywhere out side Japan yet.

Media truely sucks makin up crap just for hits, must be a slow news day.

I went to preorder the vita first edition at GameStop and they said it will cost $379.99 on release date yet the website says 349.99. Will this price change also?

[f789790]

The problem is you're trying to preorder from GameStop.

[Marz]

Oh sh*t i just realized Thanks. I'm so embarrassed now.

[smashcrashbash]

They didn't reduce them, they found out what the real prices are like i have been telling people on this site for ages. The prices were just place holders until the right prices were officially announced. But people would rather wildly speculate, listen to rumors, give in to mob mentality and hate rather then listen to reason.

Like the people who keep saying that Sony should have included the memory in the VITA from the start. But you would have had to pay basically the same price anyway. Doesn't anyone realize that all devices charge you more the higher the memory gets? The only difference is Sony is selling it separately instead of just simply charging you more for a higher memory model. Look at a Ipod or Iphone. Each memory upgrade costs more money. The only difference is they hide it in the price.
