Sony cuts Vita price in Japan on Feb. 28
Sony announced a sizable price cut for the PlayStation Vita in Japan this morning, starting February 28. Via a special online broadcast, Sony detailed that both the 3G/Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi-only models are to cost ¥19,980 (around $215). That’s roughly a 20 percent drop from the launch price of the Wi-Fi only model, and a chunky 34 percent off the 3G/Wi-Fi model.
The price drop coincides with the release of Phantasy Star Online 2 for Vita in the country. The game will be available as a free download, and at retail with items, accessories, and costumes bundled in. A new Ice Silver Vita model (see below the break) including PS02 and an ‘AC1000’ ticket (in-game cash) is coming on February 28, at the same ¥19,980 price.
February 28 also sees a PS Plus promotion coming to the country. Between February 28 and March 18, users in Japan can activate a free one-week subscription to the service.Continue reading Sony cuts Vita price in Japan on Feb. 28Sony cuts Vita price in Japan on Feb. 28 originally appeared on Joystiq on Mon, 18 Feb 2013 03:30:00 EST.
