The Vita is Coming!

The PS Vita is set to hit our shores in late February, 2012 (the 22^nd, in fact). We’re pretty excited to see what the device does in terms of performance, graphics and so on.  And now we have some news on unit pricing, game pricing and more.

The recommended retail prices for physical copies (boxed copies, if you prefer) of several titles have been confirmed, and it looks like the games will retail between R349 and R549. Here’s a list of launch titles from Sony, the makers of the PS Vita:

•             Wipeout 2048 – R449

•             Unit 13 – R449

•             Little Deviants – R349

•             Reality Fighters – R349

Naturally there will be a number of third-party titles available as well.

As for the units themselves, they will be available in 3G and WiFi flavours, priced at R3599 and R2999 respectively.

Three varieties of Vita memory cards will be available at launch: 4GB (R199), 8GB (R349) and 16GB (R499). In addition, the following peripherals will also be available here in South Africa at launch:
