Sony and AT&T have revealed the price plans that will be available to US owners of the 3G-enabled Vita. Originally, a 2GB data plan was announced for $25 per month, but this has now been replaced with a new 3GB data plan for $30 per month. A cheaper plan for $15 per month offers only 250MB of data.

With less than a month to go until the launch of PlayStation Vita, Sony have announced two PS Vita 3G/WiFi bundles. If you were one of the lucky consumers to pre order the PS Vita First Edition Bundle, you will get all the bonuses previously announced, but Sony will also include an AT&T DataConnect Pass good for one free 250MB session, and a PlayStation Network game.
