Sony slashes S Tablet prices

Sony Electronics rang in 2012 with a surprising discount that may foreshadow much about the tablet market this year. Overnight I received email from a Sony spokeswoman saying the company "has permanently dropped the price of the Sony Tablet S by $100 starting today". This follows what seemed like a temporary $50 discount right before Christmas. If you paid $499.99 or $599.99 before Santa's sleigh ride, 16GB Sony S is now $399.99 and 32GB 499.99.

We can only hope Vita will also get an overnight price cut.

Hell if they drop it by $100 I'll get one at launch.

Cancelled my vita when i went to find a cheap copy of tekken 6. Was surprised when they offered me cash and didn't force me to take store credit.

Will early adopters get free games!?

The Vita shouldn't come out, but it will, and its thrashing on the way to a violent death will create annoying drama on the Internet.

Because iOS fans appear to be comprised of gamers and iOS haters don't have a lot of experience, just a huge capacity for anger, it is self-evident to whom 2012 will belong.

Looks like I am right so far, and CNET was wrong.

The update is the interesting part of that.

Same data plan as those iDevice things.
