That’s A Lot Of Games! Narrow It Down For Me
Of those, the big headliner is probably Uncharted: Golden Abyss, a portable entry in the popular Uncharted action-adventure series that will tie in with the PS3 Uncharted games. Other big titles in the launch catalog include racing game Wipeout 2048 and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, but don't miss out on cool downloadable games like Super StarDust Delta.
When Can I Get it And What Does It Cost?
The Vita launches in North America on February 22nd and the entry-level model (Wi-Fi only) will set you back $250. Sony’s also selling a 3G model that will cost you $300, with the optional AT&T data plan costing you another $15 a month for 250MB of data, or $30 a month for 3GB -- identical to the iPad 3G data plans. The Playstation Vita should be available at most game stores and large retailers, though you may want to pre-order a Vita if you want to guarantee you’ll be playing yours on launch day.
