elect Sony stores are dropping the price of the 3G PlayStation Vita. On Sony’s online store, the WiFi + 3G bundle is currently listed as $249.99, a $50 cut compared to its $299.99 list price, which puts it on even ground with the $249.99 WiFi-only model.
As spotted by Joystiq, certain Sony retail stores are making even deeper cuts, with some advertising the WiFi + 3G bundle at $199.97. Joystiq reports that stores in California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington are currently offering some form of discounts. Employees of some stores report that the 3G model is being discontinued entirely, while others suggest this is a temporary sale that will only last through Sunday. Vita’s price was cut last month in Japan, putting the WiFi and 3G models on equal ground at 19,980 yen (roughly $215). Since then, sales are nearly six times higher in Japan, though Sony still hasn’t formally announced a Western price cut.
