Sony revealed today a new, limited edition bundle for the PlayStation Vita that includes a memory card and PSN game.
According to a statement on the PlayStation Blog, a new PlayStation Vita 3G/Wi-Fi bundle at launch includes an 8GB Vita memory card, an AT&T DataConnect Pass good for one free 250MB session, and a PlayStation Network game for $299. Sony did not detail what game would be available as part of this bundle.
Additionally, if you pre-ordered the PS Vita First Edition Bundle, Sony is now including an AT&T DataConnect Pass, and a PlayStation Network game. This bundle still includes the limited edition case, a 4GB PS Vita Memory Card, and Little Deviants game.
Though the game never went on sale for $49.99, Capcom said today Resident Evil Revelations will now sell for $39.99 instead.
Capcom released a statement explaining the reason for the price drop, which you can read in full below. Be sure to check out our review of the game here if you're still on the fence about it.
Late last year we announced the console-sized adventure that is Resident Evil Revelations would arrive on a 4GB card instead of the standard 2GB card; this increase in memory size led to an increase in price as well, raising the retail cost to $49.99. And while we're confident in the game's value at that price (and the reviews reflect that sentiment as well), we're also exceedingly pleased to say that after weeks of effort, we've been able to lower the price to $39.99.
Since the announcement of the $49.99 price point, we've spent weeks looking for a way to bring your cost down to standard 3DS pricing. Today we can finally confirm we were successful in this, and hope the reduced price encourages even more people to check out this strong entry in the Resident Evil canon.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning locks out an entire quest line comprised of seven individual quests unless you have an online pass.
Destructoid reports the final retail copy includes a code that unlocks the House of Valor quest line and the Mass Effect 3 tie-in armor. Those who purchase the game new will get the code for free. But if you buy the game used and the code has already been redeemed, you will have to purchase a new code, which typically cost between $5 and $15.
Game Informer asked EA for additional comment and details about the content. We'll update this story if we hear more.
[Update]: Here is EA's statement:
The House of Valor quest line is free bonus content available to those who purchase a new copy of Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning for the Xbox 360 and PS3 by entering the Online Pass included with the game.
PC players who purchase Reckoning at one of the many digital retailers online including Origin, Steam and more, will also receive the House of Valor quest line at no cost.
