Sony PS Vita price slashed in Japan, but no word on UK price yet Feb 18th 2013, 10:19 Now cheaper The PlayStation Vita has had a third knocked off its price in Japan. The console is now retailing for 19,980 Yen for both Wi-Fi and 3G models. It had previously cost 30,000. Sony however has confirmed it has no current plans to drop prices outside of Japan, with a spokesperson for the company telling Pocket-lint: "The price cut announced today is for the SCE Japan region only. We have nothing to announce at this time regarding pricing within our own region." READ: Sony PS Vita review The price cut will arrive in Japan on 28 February, after Sony's PS4 launch event on 20 February. It is entirely possible that Sony announces some sort of PS Vita price cut at the New York event, although we expect (and hope) that all eyes will be focussed on next generation consoles. The PS Vita currently retails for ?227 for a Wi-Fi and 3G model on Amazon. The Japanese price equates to around ?138 in the UK. Fingers crossed then that this new price translates overseas as that is a bargain if we ever saw one.
