PS Vita Receives Price Drop; FF X HD Still Exists

Posted on Monday 18th February 2013 at 12:51 by laszlow

At a press conference a few hours ago, Sony announced that both the WiFi and 3G versions of the PlayStation Vita will receive price drops down to 19,980 yen. This is a price reduction of 5,000 and 10,000 yen respectively, bringing the Vita's Japanese price down to approximately $214 US or 138 GBP. It is unknown if this change will be carried over to other territories as of yet.

At the same press conference, Sony and Square-Enix showed off the Vita version of Final Fantasy X, apologizing for the long delay between announcements. The last we heard of this HD re-release was in summer of 2012 in what amounted to yet another "please wait." Square-Enix was unprepared to provide a release date, but claimed that it would be coming shortly and to "wait for that."

So... Square-Enix told us nothing about this anticipated port, except that they're working on it and to wait some more. Gee, thanks.

	Vita has always intrigued me, so I might end up picking one up if the price drop comes to the states. I like the functionality along with PSN, so it's fairly appealing. I'll have to do a little more research...or just wait until FFX HD comes out. Any news is good news!

	It's not enough of a price drop for me, especially since there really aren't many if any (actually I can't think of any) must-have titles for the system. Persona 4 Golden is about the only one that intrigues me at the moment and I don't feel like I have to have it.

	I have the Vita already. Will I get free games like when Nintendo 3DS dropped in price? Hahaha, I kid, I kid.

	Better them take their time with the HD release of a game that already exists.. if that'll increase the chances of it being any good.
