3G PS Vita Coming To Canada! It's About Time


Submitted by tbag; September 11, 2012

Back when the PlayStation Vita was launched in the US it was available as either a wifi or 3G Version.  Unfortunately that was not the case for their neighbor to the north. I can imagine this was disappointing to many early adaptors of the new PS Vita handheld who couldn't chose a 3G version, and if you are part of that group than I have some good news for you.

On October 2 Sony will be launching a 3G version of the PlayStation Vita to those of you in the north. The new 3G PS Vita will make its debut in Canada at $299.99 and will come with vouchers for Gravity Rush and Unit 13. The 3G service will be available through Rogers as two different service plans: 250 MB for $15 a month or 5 GB for $35 a month but don’t be fooled.  Although you can use 3G for things like Facebook and Flicker you will be unable to connect to the PlayStation Store or play your games online with 3G.

# Info Incorrect in statement above — Andyid 2012-09-12 17:01
The statement above saying that it wont be usable for PS-Stor or online gaming is in correct as per what i read in the blogs.

Do correct me if im wrong! ;)


Above statement:

"Although you can use 3G for things like Facebook and Flicker you will be unable to connect to the PlayStation Store or play your games online with 3G."

Statement from Sony Blog:

"PS Vita systems with an active Rogers data package can use software functionality developed specifically for the 3G-enabled model, including turn-based, asynchronous multiplayer gameplay, instantly updated rankings and leaderboards, immediate access to the latest downloadable add-on content, and real-time community news."
