Playstation Vita – AT&T 3G Plans

I’m not in to gaming all that much, but this seems like a nice little device from Sony. Seems like it does it all. Here is the pricing info:

Via NY Times:

When Sony’s new portable device, the PlayStation Vita, arrives in American stores on Feb. 22, customers will have the option to buy two data plans from AT&T to play games online anywhere they are.

Sony’s Vita, announced last year, includes a five-inch display, dual analog sticks for game controls and a quad-core processor.

The Vita will come in two models, a version with Wi-Fi only and a version with Wi-Fi and 3G cellular connectivity. For the version that includes both Wi-Fi and 3G, customers will be able to choose from two AT&T data plans: $15 for 250 megabytes a month or $25 for 2 gigabytes a month.

The Wi-Fi-only device will cost $250, and the 3G-plus-Wi-Fi one will cost $300.
