Check it out, and come back here when you’ve had enough screenshots for one day.

PlayStation Vita US launch bundle: 8GB card, 3G, and PSN game for $299

This is sweet. Near the launch (February 22 in the U.S.), the PlayStation Vita (we want one so badly, Sony. *wink*) will have a bundle that retails for $299 and contains an 8GB memory card, 3G + WiFi Vita, a PSN game (of unknown title), and an AT&T DataConnect Session pass “good for one free 250MB session.” It is reasonable and Amazon seems to be the only retailer with the limited edition bundle currently available for pre-order — at least for now.

Kudos to Sony for getting an attractive package available at launch to boost sales.

Skyrim 1.4 beta patch hits Steam’s servers

Ready for a Skyrim beta patch? Yes, Bethesda is awesome enough to issue beta patches for issues you’ve been experiencing with what is currently the most popular game on Steam — The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. What it turns out this patch does is fix several rare errors, quest errors, crashes, as well as addresses memory problems, so for any user I think it’s worth looking into.

To get the update, go into your Steam settings and opt-in for a beta participation that pertains to Skyrim. Steam will then restart and the update will be downloaded.

As for the mod tools, they come out later this month. See the changelog after the break.

PlayStation Vita 3G Data Plan Pricing For AT&T Changes

There is going to be an AT&T 3G version of the upcoming PlayStation Vita. However, the prices for the accompanying data plans has changed since the Vita’s debut at E3 2011.  There’s the $15, 250MB plan and a higher $30, 3GB plan. Previously AT&T announced a cheaper $25 2GB plan instead of the 3GB change. Anyways, since there’s 1,024 megabytes per gigabyte, paying double for 12x the space is fair. Via: AT&T

Microsoft knows the Xbox 360 dashboard update had 1080p and color space problems; working on fix

So, it has come to Microsoft’s acknowledgement that the Xbox 360 dashboard update that started rolling out in late-December was great, but there are some serious bugs to make mention of. The first being that 720p seems to be the default setting for the interface, not 1080p, causing some users problems with HDMI. Then there’s the color space, which can sometimes be completely off. So, that all being said, Microsoft is working on a fix, we just don’t know when it will be pushed out to the masses. Via: Major Nelson (Twitter)
