PS Vita 3G Plans See Price Jump

ATT increases price of top-tier service used for PS Vita.

PS Vita 3G Plans See Price Jump

Sony's chosen provider of 3G service for the PlayStation Vita has recently made changes to the pricing structures available for Vita users come February.  ATT has announced that a recent tweak in pricing plans has pushed the price up $5 per month, from $25 and 2GB of data to $30 and 3GB of data.

When the 3G version of the handheld launches in the U.S. next month,  ATT will offer two tiers of wireless data plans.  The first will run $14.99 and give gamers 250MB of data, and the second will be the $30 3GB plan.

It's hard to tell how well 3G will actually work for the device, and whether it's worth the extra monthly costs.  With plenty of features packed into the Vita, a Wi-Fi option might be a more viable option for many gamers.

    I’m assuming you can just tether a wifi model to a 4g phone right?

    I hate data plans, Wifi is everywhere…Home, Work, Offices, coffee shop, fast food places…Hell even my Grandma has wifi set up – just for company. She doesn’t even have a computer but she has wifi LOL.

    Just my personal opinion – monthly fee’s are always a bad thing. Avoid every excess monthly fee and you will find your self with a lot more money.

    A sim card slot would have been sweet. but that would be a nightmare to even attempt considering its a beast of a handheld console.

    I cant see that plan even working in the UK. Plus 3GB would easily get used if you actively and constantly use the web

    This dude is right, you gotta look and read first it’s not a contract you can just not pay it and have it there for optional use. The month u don’t want it, Don’t pay.. It’s good to have it incase of a long road trip, that is if your phone doesnt have it’s own hotspot.. Personally I don’t need it, but it is there for option.
