When the PS Vita goes on sale Dec. 17 in Japan, it will cost ¥25,000. With the weak dollar, that’s US$326. So it’s best to go by the portable’s American pricing: $US250. With that in mind, how much are Vita games going to cost?
According to Famitsu, Uncharted: Golden Abyss costs ¥5,980 for the cartridge version and ¥4,900 for the download version.
That’s $US78 and $US63 respectively with the exchange rate. It’s safe–although unconfirmed–to assume that the cartridge version will retail for $US59, while the download version will cost $US49.
Ridge Racer on the PS Vita, however, has a lower price point. It costs ¥3,980 for the cartridge version; the download version is only a hair cheaper at ¥3,580. Those prices come in at $US52 and $US47 with the weak dollar. Once again, imagine that they will be priced at $US39 and $US35 for the U.S.
Though, Namco is offering Ridge Racer for a lower price for a limited time. Between Dec. 17 and Mar. 31, the download version of Ridge Racer is ¥2,980. With the exchange rate, that’s actually $US39, but in Japanese money, it’s roughly the equivalent of $US29.
