A week after the PlayStation Vita was released in Japan, Sony has confirmed the pricing for PS Vita games and accessories for regions such as Europe, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, commonly known as the PAL territory.
The PlayStation Vita has reached decent sales in its native Japan, and now Sony is getting ready to debut it in the rest of the world next February. We already know about the pricing of the actual console, but now the company has presented the price structure for the Vita’s games, which range from blockbusters like
Uncharted to smaller titles like Wipeout 2048 or all-new ones like Unit 13, as well as its various accessories, ranging from the
controversial memory cards to chargers or various kits.
In terms of games, prices will start from €29.99, for all-new properties, to a pretty steep €49.99, for major franchises like Uncharted, so check out the full PS Vita game pricing details below.
