Sony PlayStation Vita |
Although the
official launch of the Sony PlayStation Vita is set on February 22, it appears
that consumers who already paid for the $350 first edition bundle of the game
console may have already received the device.
The US
market is supposed to officially see the Sony PlayStation Vita on February 22
but gaming enthusiasts who want to get the device can reportedly purchase it
already through the first edition bundle.
This first
edition bundle reportedly comes with the 3G Sony PlayStation Vita, 4GB memory
card, case for the game console, and the Little Deviants game. The bundle was
delivered to consumers who pre-ordered the bundle although gaming enthusiast
will be able to get the game console before the coming week if they purchase it
as soon as possible.
However gaming
enthusiasts who will get the Sony PlayStation Vita before the official US
launch date will have to shell out more as the first edition bundle will cost
around $350. On the other hand the 3G bundle of the device will be sold at
around $300 when it is purchased after the device is officially launched.
The Wi-Fi
version of the Sony PlayStation Vita reportedly cost around $250. Japan was the
first market to see the release of this mobile game console in the later part
of last year. The game console features a five-inch OLED touchscreen display
along with a pair of thumb sticks.
Games for
the Sony PlayStation Vita can be purchased online or through brick-and-mortar
retail outlets. Observers had earlier given the Sony PlayStation Vita an
excellent rating for the visuals although the battery life was reportedly
lacking. The mobile game console also
relied too much on a separate memory card.
