How badly do you want a PlayStation Vita? Can you not wait until its official February 22nd release? Sony has announced a new bundle for you! The "First Edition bundle" is available for pre-order at "select retail locations," starting today.
For $349.99, you'll get the 3G Vita, a limited edition case, and a 4GB Vita memory card. This package will be available one week early, on February 15th.
In addition, the First Edition bundle will include a copy of Little Deviants, a cute game that takes advantage of both the front and rear touch panels, the built-in motion sensors, the front and rear cameras, and microphone. Essentially, it's the perfect tech demo to show off everything your shiny new handheld can do.
The standard price for a 3G Vita is $299.99, while games cost $39.99. A 4GB memory card is likely to cost more than $20, meaning this bundle not only gives you early access to the system, but a slight discount as well.

You're looking at it from the wrong angle. The hardware may be worth $300, but that's not how a purchasing decision usually works. I decide how much I want to spend to be able to do portable gaming. If $300 is more than I want to spend to make that part of my life, it doesn't matter what the hardware in the Vita is. I decide I want a big TV and then decide I am willing to spend up to $X fulfill my desire. That some particular TV is $X + $1000 and totally worth it based on the features doesn't change the fact that that kind of TV is beyond what I'm willing to spend to have a big TV in the house.

Part of me hates myself for considering doing this >.<

The difference between the Vita and the 3DS is that Sony won't be able to afford to lower the price to $169.99 once they realize no one is buying it. They're likely already selling it at a major loss considering the beastly hardware inside. The Vita might just crash and burn even worth than the $250 3DS did.

even worse*
