Sony also announced a 64GB card.<\/p>\n<p>The existing memory cards, from 4GB to 32GB, will receive a price-drop, putting them at around $15 (R150*) and $68 (R678*) respectively.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a new Micro-USB charger, which is the same as most modern smartphones using the Micro-USB input format.<\/p>\n<p>The new Vita will be available in a variety of colours, namely pink, blue, grey, lime green, yellow, and the standard black.<\/p>\n<p>The new PS Vita model is scheduled to launch on 10 October in Japan, priced at 18,980 yen (R1,900*).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58195\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/New-PS-Vita-PCH-2000.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58195\" class=\" wp-image-58195 \" alt=\"New PS Vita PCH-2000\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/New-PS-Vita-PCH-2000.jpg\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/New-PS-Vita-PCH-2000.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/New-PS-Vita-PCH-2000-600x318.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-58195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New PS Vita PCH-2000<\/p><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_TkOdFbj1Eo\" height=\"339\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6>1\u00a0USD\u00a0=\u00a09.97822\u00a0ZAR<\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Sony news:<\/h3>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58148-sony-intern-gets-r73k-in-wage-case.html\">Sony intern gets R73K in wage case<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58039-playstation-4-virtual-reality-headset-coming.html\">PlayStation 4 Virtual Reality headset coming?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/57835-ps4-boasts-remote-game-downloads-cross-platform-chat.html\">PS4 boasts remote game downloads, cross-platform chat<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/57596-5-great-things-about-knack.html\">5 great things about PS4\u2032s Knack<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/57722-kalahari-ps4-pre-order-price-goes-live.html\">Kalahari PS4 pre-order price goes live (update)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/57706-playstation-4-at-rage-2013.html\">PlayStation 4 at rAge 2013<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/playstation-4-news\/57533-ps4-launch-games-for-south-africa-listed.html\">PS4 launch games for South Africa listed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smaller, lighter Playstation Vita handheld revealed by Sony<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":58194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[21,11204,1643,527,71,11205,11206],"class_list":["post-58193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-headline","tag-new-ps-vita","tag-playstation-vita","tag-ps-vita","tag-sony","tag-tgs-2013","tag-tokyo-game-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
