Copy and paste.
*sigh*... I am a sucker and I will end up getting up, but damn, the cost of the PSV is going to make my pockets cry. Then again, the graphics are to be as good as early PS3 games, so as long as the developers can keep the gameplay above par, then my complaints of cost will be drowned out.

449 AUD for Wi-Fi + 3G model? Well Sony, the least you could do is wear a condom if you want to f*** me! That is the same cost as a PS3/360 + games bundle. I get that it can do a lot, but really? Didn't the announcement of the PS3 and prices teach you anything?PlayStation Vita launches in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Australasia, Canada, the US and Latin America from 22nd February 2012, Sony has announced.
The Wi-Fi-only version costs $249 / €249.99 / AUD$349.95 / NZD$449.95. The Wi-Fi plus 3G model goes for $299 / €299.99 / AUD$449.95 / NZD$549.95.
UK pricing remains unannounced. Sony is yet to confirm the European launch line-up of Vita games, or reveal which 3G service provider will handle Vita in the UK.
"Our first-party studios and army of publishing partners have been extremely hard at work to ensure that PS Vita launches with a vast library of titles that deliver unique gameplay experiences that go beyond any handheld or mobile device on the market," said Sony US boss Jack Tretton.
More than 100 games are in development for Vita, including Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Resistance: Burning Skies, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Assassin's Creed, FIFA and Call of Duty.
