Updated with bundle details and memory card prices.
Sony has FINALLY dropped the price on PS Vita. It's officially $199--for every available model. That represents a $50 drop for the vanilla wi-fi model, and a significant $100 drop for the 3G model.
Even the newly-released Walking Dead bundle will be available for $199. That package includes a 3G system, a copy of The Walking Dead for Vita, and a 4GB memory card, easily making it the best value of the bunch.
In addition, Sony also pledged to bring down the price of the system's egregiously expensive memory cards. A look at GameStop reveals some seriously-slashed prices:
- 32GB:
$119.99$79.99 - 16GB:
$69.99$39.99 - 8GB:
$44.99$24.99
These prices are still too high for the amount of memory they offer, but they're far more palpable than the original MSRPs. Given how generous PlayStation Plus has been for Vita owners, getting a higher-capacity card should be of utmost importance to Vita users.

You really honestly think they would drop the price of the vita $150 within 3 months?

At that price it would be more expensive than the new Xbox. As someone who has been on the fence, now it seems that you really need a vita to utilize the whole system. I did not own a PS3 or Vita, so as someone who would have to buy both for the next gen the PS4 isn't as appealing as it once was. $500 for xbox and kinect or $600 for PS4 and vita... I'm not really sure which is the better option. The second screen playability is cool but I'm not sure on how many occasions I would use it. Like wise... if the kinect turns out to be a slightly better version of the first and not a really drastic improvement, it will also be wasted space and money. Decisions Decisions... maybe i should just get a gaming pc...

The problem with this logic is misunderstanding of profit margins. There will be a bundle someday, but waiting for one just to save $100 at this point is silly. If you really want both consoles just buy them both, otherwise buy one and save your money for the other later when you want that one.
If you have no interest in either of them then why even say you are waiting, that is a misrepresentation of the truth.

The memory cards were the biggest deterrent for me. I'd feel like a moron spending $85 for 32GB

Why not including a 4 Gb card in that bundle and a code for Uncharted Golden Abyss or Wipeout 2033 ?
It would be a better fight against the upcoming 200$ Pokemon X &Y bundle... -
$80 is still WAY too much for a 32gb card. What a joke.
