You already know most of the details about the next PSP. But now we know its name: the PlayStation Vita.
The Wi-Fi model’s gonna be $250, while the 3G model’s gonna be $US300. AT&T is the exclusive carrier of the 3G model of the Vita in the US. Wow. No. Wow. Wow. No word on the data pricing at the moment.
There’s a new “social connection tool” called Near which lets you play and recommend titles to people around you, kind of like Nintendo 3DS’s StreetPass.

They didn’t discuss how the games would work, are they on physical media or downloadable only?

Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 8:52 PMYeah, not sure if I’m willing to fork out $400 for this thing, even though it looks awesome, I’d probably just wait until the price drops. Still., can’t wait for it to be released :D!
