Are you looking to pick up a PlayStation Vita in the near future? Judging by the current sales figures of the Sony handheld, you’d be among a select few who would actually owns the HD console. However, if you happen to live in Canada and don’t mind seeing your email inbox flooded with updates on the yet-to-be-released PlayStation 4, Sony will sell you the powerful device for a hefty discount.
One thrifty NeoGaf member discovered the hot deal, which promises potential buyers a $50 discount on a PlayStation Vita. How do you get it, dear Canadian reader? Well, it looks as if all you’ll need to do is sign up Sony’s updates on the PlayStation 4. Any announcements on games, pricing, or release dates will all end up in your inbox, but in exchange, the PlayStation Vita can be yours for the much more appealing price of $199.99. This can be used on all of the below bundles. Supplies are limited, and it seems that only the Assassin’s Creed pack is still in stock at this time.
Why the discount right now? Also, why do people need to know more about the PlayStation 4 before saving money? On the surface, that’s a pretty easy way to get people to both put money down on a Vita and learn even more about the next generation. However, it’s the Vita’s integration with the PS4 that’s really at play here. Remote play features and all the cross-buy games make the two consoles work very well in tandem, but in order for any of that to mean anything, Sony needs you to pick the thing up first.
