Data Plan Adjusted for PlayStation Vita

Just weeks ahead of the North American release for the Sony PlayStation Vita, the 3G plan for the product has seemingly been switched up by carriers AT&T. Originally, the plan was being priced at a total cost of $25 per month, with a data limit of 2GB. This plan, which was previously found on Sony’s official PlayStation website, is now being advertised with an increased data limit of 3GB for a price of $30 per month.

This increase can be viewed in two different ways for PlayStation Vita players. Certainly a 1GB kick up in data for only $5 is a lot of bang for your buck. However, many users of the vita may not be planning on that much data use regardless. Despite early reports, some have speculated that the lower data plan will still be available for those who aren’t planning on getting anywhere near 3GB in use.

Some more cool news involving the Vita was released this week with the announcement of new accessories for the handheld console. A grip assistance feature was released in Japan, in which an add-on can be attached to the Vita to have the regular feel of a classic PlayStation dual shock controller. Another accessory release overseas has also gained attention, as Sony showed off a portable USB power set. This set will serve as a charging station for the Vita battery. The USB power set is expected to be a big hit here as it can also be used for the Nintendo 3DS.

The Vita has received some speculation involving battery life upon the early releases in Japan. Products such as Sony’s portable USB power set should help to alleviate any and all concerns involving the battery life as the North American release for the handheld console is just weeks away from a February 22 arrival in stores.

PS Vita unlocked?

PS Vita will be released in Europe soon, but right now it hackers are close to unlocked / hack the PS Vita.

On internet forums and sites, it has in the past week posted videos and pictures showing how people can run unsigned codeon a PS Vita, probably a copy, purchased in Japan where it was released before year end.

Hacker, provided that it is all true, is so far only on the use of a hole in the module that emulates the PSP code and not the OS itself in the PS Vita. An early ”Hello world” program can be seen surfactant film and later presented as recently as this week.
For Sony’s part, it is still no danger of the roof when the notch is hardly possible to exploit to run pirated games, and alsoteaches the hole going to close again quite easily via an update.

Sony have no comments

With one fell with 78 percent in its second week, PS Vita’s Japanese sales figures dramatically low. What do Sony? “No comments”, allows PR Director Satoshi Fukuoka health. While doing 3DS its best week so far and reach yearly goal of 4 million consoles sold two months early.

According to analyst Tero Kuittinen in, economics site Forbes, Sony has “big problems” and will probably be forced to lower the price of the console significantly. Nintendo did the same with 3DS and has indeed been a big upswing, which they also may be selling the magnets 3D Super Mario Land, Mario Kart 7 and Monster Hunter for 3G.

You can probably history by now: PS Vita was released on 17 December and sold in just over 300 000 units in two days. Okay numbers, but maybe not what Sony expected. The following week, sales fell sharply and the portable console monster was great beating from both the 3DS and – perhaps even more remarkable – seven years old PSP.

PSVITA is region free

It has on several occasions mentioned that the games to PSVITA probably will not be region locked, however, there has never been confirmed. So one person took on this task and asked Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida on Twitter about PSVITA is region free and in response to the question he was simply “Yes, that’s it.”

Mostly good news since it is generally hard to deal with regional states, especially on a handheld console. However, will, in all likelihood, the PlayStation business still be divided into regions which means that you get a little fiddling with different accounts if you want to get stuff from the PlayStation business.
