You might not know this if you don't keep up with mobile tech industry news, but AT&T is switching up its data pricing scheme for 3G customers. Earlier this month, the wireless provider announced a change that did away with its two previous plans: 200MB for $15/month or 2GB for $25/month. The new plans cost a bit more, but offer more data in return: 300MB for $20/month, 3GB for $30/month and 5GB for $50/month.
The 3G data pricing for Sony's PlayStation Vita -- which AT&T will be responsible for in North America -- was announced a couple weeks earlier, and it fell close to the old model: 250MB for $15/month or 2GB for $25/month. Those two plans have now changed to fit with the newer pricing, Sony's AT&T page for the Vita reveals: the 250MB plan continues to cost $15/month but the second plan has been upped to 3GB, for $30/month. Both of these are still no-contract situations, so you can opt in or out whenever you like. Consider this your public service announcement.

Not a phone person at all but want internet wherever I go in my pocket and the ipod touch is a no go, Vita is a bit big but thats ok.
It will have to have a decent web browser though.

Never mind then...

yeah definitely not worth the price. I don't see the real purpose of 3g for a portable gaming device. I can understand it if it was for casual gaming. the vita is not

I got an Idea but EVERYONE has to OPEN THEIR MINDS TO THE POSSIBILITIES. Ready, ok, here goes.
UNCAP THE DATA PLANS AND ALLOW FREE UNLIMITED DATA!!!!

What a ripoff, and what really ticks me off. Sony has PS Vita 3G bundel for $350, in which you get the PS Vita. one week earlier. But not the WiFi version.

The Sad thing is Sprint has an unlimited data plan for a set price, but sucks far as connection for phone calls, so it problem has bugs with data transfer. Yet AT&T seems to be the best on the market but has pricing issues. Someone needs to bring Sprint's Unlimited data plan for a reasonable price and combined with AT&T's Speed (or Roadrunner or what not like Speed).

man this sucks! my 3G is paid for, but the problem is that we dont know really how much data we need for what were trying to do. how many MB will it take to do a video chat or playing online? all we really know is we DON'T want to download games or anything else for that matter in 3G mode! that would just be suicide! Why do i fill that AT&T is sending me on a suicide mission that will have me six feet deep in another cell phone carriers cut thoat drama by summer time!

No, it will work only with AT&T and you do NOT have to have a contract with them for any other device. The service will be a la carte so you can pick and up and start and cancel anytime....however for those prices why would you want to?

So does this mean that I can buy the 3G/WiFi Vita and NOT have to automatically buy an AT&T plan? Will the 3G Vita work with T-Mobile or any other carrier??
