The memory sticks are still much but I'm going to assume Amazon will have the marked down even more now, maybe even another $20, making them actually half affordable.
they could've just, idk, made it use SD cards?
[QUOTE=Shadaez;41910845]they could've just, idk, made it use SD cards?[/QUOTE] Gotta recover losses on the handheld itself. What better way than to sell a massively marked up peripheral that is required if you remotely want to use the console? Just look at PS3 Dualshock 3 controllers, they retail around £40.
How much is the cost to use 3G on the 3g model?
[QUOTE=Liem;41910890]How much is the cost to use 3G on the 3g model?[/QUOTE] I think it depends on the carrier you go with. I don't think they are locked to any particular carriers normally.

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;41910941]That's a controller. There is no universal game controller. Anything can use SD cards. Sony just wanted to go proprietary.[/QUOTE] There is such a thing as a universal game controller if people agreed to a standard for input mapping (SD is a standard for flash storage, the analogy worked fine in other words). Sony went propriety because it's easy money, as has every other console manufacture except Ouya (who made a laughable attempt at a controller).
Every console ever has had it's own controller and that is never going to change ever.
For the 3G model can you still use your home's wifi to play online?
[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;41911099]For the 3G model can you still use your home's wifi to play online?[/QUOTE] 3G model has wifi but you can't use the 3G for multiplayer so it's not worth the higher pricetag plus the plan.

Haha, I just got a second hand PSP E1000 yesterday, my old one still works but it's a fat white and can't read memory cards. I'll probably wait till PS4 comes out till I get a Vita.
[QUOTE=Liem;41911317]Wait you can't? I'm not getting the 3G model anymore[/QUOTE] 99% of games dont support 3g play.
I paid $350 for my early launch bundle PS vita :(

Sony always had that fetish with Memory Stick. The cost for royalties is partly the reason why everyone stopped using it.
