PS Vita South African pricing announced

I reckon a price drop will happen by the end of the year (holding thumbs for it as a matter of fact) - I'm not keen on latching onto new gadgets right after launch anyways.

I might actually go for the 3G version when the time comes

i have no doubt that the price is going to have to drop. Sales in Japan have been very poor and i don't predict massive sales (apart from the inital wave of gadgetphiles).

I suspect that if sales tank similarly to how they did in Japan we could see a price cut a lot sooner. It's clear that this device is just too expensive and it will definitely hurt sales.

True enough - although the 3DS launched at the same price-point. Didn't require all the extras that the Vita does, but at the same time the Vita is many times more powerful than the 3DS.

Then again, comparisons between the two aren't necessarily easy ...

Damn, that pricey for the limited release titles. Didn't they learn from the 3DS's mistake?
