I've paid $240 for a 3G model back in November of 2012 and I'm enjoying it still. I've bought a bunch of games for it since, but all you need is a PS Plus subscription, really. Like most of PS Vita owners, I wish for more major releases and strong exclusives, but I can't really complain, since I also own a 3DS and a bunch of other systems. PS Vita is a great piece of hardware, for sure.
