The announcement last week that AT&T will be the exclusive 3G provider for the hot new PlayStation Vita did not go down well.
The scene is Sony’s big PlayStation showcase in Los Angeles last week, an event that helped kick off the annual E3 promotional circus of upcoming video games. We’ve got several thousand video game industry professionals and reporters mostly cheering or politely clapping for each piece of PlayStation news. And then they say this thing gets to have the lightning-fast AT&T mobile broadband network as its exclusive 3G provider?
Yeah, I’m sure iPhone customers still fondly reminisce about the days when AT&T was their exclusive option.
(Note: The first take in the video here is from Sony’s official feed of the event; the second was pulled from YouTube.)

Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 10:20 AMIf Sony wanted to kill their new PSP why did they even bother with a new product?
You would of thought they’d learn from all the mistakes of the original, but they’ve found new ways to limit their market.

Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 10:12 PMTypical Sony. We know this is going to be stinker but lets at least make some money out of a side deal and screw the consumer.
People please stop buying this crap. You know your going to buy it, use it a couple of times on the couch or on the bus and then go back to using your phone to play angry birds.
There is nothing new here. Just another way of parting you from your hard earned cash.
