Saros delivers Returnal 2 in all but name

Housemarque's Returnal remains one of the best PS5 games. Built to kill, raised to die, and fine-tuned to annoy the shit out me while dragging me back in for yet another go at  2AM.  Not-a-sequel Saros ropes in my one of my favourite actors Rahul Kohli into the mix with proper shields, greater weapons freedom, Indian-styled visuals, and borrowing  Xenon 2: Megablast's palette and violence.  Saros is set on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet.

Some stores in Japan cutting 3G Vita price

I wouldn't read too much into this as an overall Vita strategy, but a few stores in Japan have lopped 20% off the price of the 3G model to help it out the door. This apparently sold a lot less than the WiFi model, as you'd expect and my guess is they want to get rid of them quickly in case sales don't recover.

Will this by the PSP Go of the Vita family? I can't see it selling brilliantly in the west, as many gamers already have one big mobile bill to deal with and thought it would do better in Japan. If retailers don't see it like that then Sony may have a problem, but one it can deal with by limited discounts, bundling in phone stores and so on.

I don't think it will affect the WiFi model's price until Sony absolutely has to cut it. Give that about four months as a personal guess.
