EB Games Canada: PS Vita WiFi For Only $170 (Save $30)

Get the newest handheld to go with your brand new PS4, or your PS3, or anything else for only $170 at EB Games!

In another life I covered the PS Vita launch. It was awesome. The touch screen and the back-touchpad make for some great ancillary game mechanics (like the SixAxis controller) without being too intrusive like some others (I'm looking at you, Kinect and Wiimote). The connectivity, for those who are interested in that sort of stuff, is awesome. To top it all off, it has an absolutely gorgeous OLED screen.

If you have a PS3 or, better yet, a PS4, this is a great companion device. Remote play is awesome and I love the idea of taking some classic games, for instance, like FFVIII with you on your handheld. It's kind of crappy playing a two or three year old game on your 70" LED TV, but on a handheld, it doesn't feel so bad.

This is a great price, too. You don't often see consoles come on sale because they are super low margin items or, in some cases, are loss leaders. Getting the PS Vita for $169.99 is great considering it was $199.99. You're saving $30! This could be a stock purge sale to get the original version gone before the PS Vita Slim comes here, which I'm assuming will happen some time soon. Normally I'm all up on a slim version of a console, but I guess the PS Vita Slim doesn't have the amazing OLED screen, so I might pass.

Shipping is around $6 for most people.
