Sony prices PS Vita accessories

AppId is over the quota

Sony unveiled accessories for its upcoming next-gen portable PlayStation Vita back at E3 earlier this year, and with the cavalcade of news arriving from the weekend’s Tokyo Game Show, it was only a matter of time before all these accessories were priced. Now they have been, in Japanese Yens, but it’ll give you a pretty good idea of what’s to come once the handheld launches in regions worldwide.

• Memory card 4GB – ¥2,200 ($29)
• Memory card 8GB – ¥3,200 ($42)
• Memory card 16GB – ¥5,500 ($72)
• Memory card 32GB – ¥9,500 ($124)
• AC adaptor – ¥1,800 ($24)
• USB cable – ¥1,300 ($17)
• Cradle – ¥2,800 ($37)

• Protective film – ¥800 ($11)
• Card case – ¥600 ($8)
• Case – ¥1,800 ($24)
• Pouch – ¥1,500 ($20)
• Travel pouch with cleaning cloth and wrist strap – ¥2,300 ($30)
• Carrying pouch (black) – ¥1,800 ($24)

Surprised? For better or for worse? Some of these price tags might seem a bit steep but then again, this is the way companies actually make money with a product that hardly will. Expect cheaper third party accessories to pop up by the PS Vita’s December launch though because, well, that’s just the way it goes.
