A small number of Sony stores, on the other hand, even claimed not to know anything about the lower price.

However, Joystiq noted that not all the Sony stores it contacted were offering the lower price, and as far as we know, Sony HQ certainly hasn’t (yet) made any official announcement about any PS Vita discount in the US. The image above, snapped at a Century City store in LA, indicates you’ll save $100, but the bundle is available from Sony’s online store for $249, leaving you with a still-reasonable $50 saving.
