NGP Officially Named the PlayStation Vita, Priced at $249 and Coming This Holiday Season

Contrary to the last price announcement Sony made where everyone asked "Are you serious?!?", this one was with positive disbelief rather than the negative variety.  In what's easily been the announcement of E3 to this point, Kaz Hirai dropped a nuke on Nintendo and revealed that the PlayStation Vita would be released this holiday season at an entry price point of $249 for the Wi-Fi only model.  The PSV (as I'll be calling it) will come equipped with 3G on arguably the nation's most terrible network, AT&T, for 50 more clams.  Despite the AT&T announcement which was openly groaned at by those in attendance, this was an absolute dagger to the 3DS.  Same price point, but with a much larger feature set to allow developers a myriad of opportunities.  Get your dollars ready... you'll need a pre-order for any prayer of securing one of these come this Christmas!
