Calm down, calm down

The Internet went a little bit crazy this afternoon. “A price cut,” screamed the masses, “Finally a Vita price cut.” Their cheers were a little bit premature.

Sony has announced a price promotion for the Vita – but it’s limited to France and it’s not what you think.

If you purchase the system between 1st June and 15th July in the land of frogs’ legs, you’ll scoop a €50 rebate. And that’s pretty much the end of the story.

The platform holder said of the promotion:

This is a limited retail price promotion that is only available for a short space of time in France.

Of course, a price cut could be announced at next week’s E3 – but we’re not holding our breath.
