In an unusual turn of events, Taiwan will get Sonys new portable games console – the PlayStation Vita – ahead of the US, something of a rare occasion as Taiwan is rarely seen as a key market for gaming consoles. Although Taiwan is only getting the Wi-Fi version for the time being units are available for purchase now and are expected to ship on Monday.
The standard retail price without any games for the Wi-Fi version of the PS Vita in Taiwan is NT$8980 (US$296/S$383), slightly cheaper than the expected retail price of the Wi-Fi model in Canada which is expected to be the equivalent of US$299. The reason were comparing it to the Canadian model is that the US will get the 3G model initially, just like Japan.
However, buying a games console without games doesnt make a lot of sense, so you can also pick up various bundles that come with a selection of games (one per bundle), a 4GB memory card and an accessory pack for NT$11,350 (US$374/S$485). Oddly enough, the bundle with Dynasty Warriors: Next is an additional NT$300 (US$10/S$13) than the other bundles.
