Nope, you want all the accessories and all the expansions, too.<\/p>\n<p>Shown in these line-up videos (which are all in Japanese), Sony\u2019s Atsushi Watanabe demonstrates some of the accessories you\u2019ll be able to get for your Vita, including a nifty carry pouch which unhooks, flips around and looks to be designed to be out of the way for on-the-go gaming.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be manoeuvred\u00a0 around to stand up on its own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LFEY_OMzDS8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\"

height=\"335\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s obviously no indication of local pricing, but over in the US, GameStop has already started listing how much these accessories are going to cost \u2013 with the pouch and headset being USD19.99 (R165) each, protective screen at USD14.99 (R125) and extra battery pack sitting at a daunting USD49.99 (R415).<\/p>\n<p>If you really want to gawk, though, Sony\u2019s proprietary memory cards are also listed \u2013 and for the highest capacity (32GB), Americans will have to fork over about USD120 \u2013 which converts to about R999 in direct conversion.<\/p>\n<p>Yeowch!<\/p>\n<p>These are the memory prices according to GameStop.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4GB \u2013 USD29.99<\/li>\n<li>8GB \u2013 USD44.99<\/li>\n<li>16GB \u2013 USD69.99<\/li>\n<li>32GB \u2013 USD119.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Uuuuh, so&#8230;prospective PS Vita owners&#8230;good luck?<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"CVG\"
