Best Buy discounts PS Vita ahead of Black Friday

Best Buy is getting a head start on the competition with its PlayStation Vita Black Friday deal. As of right now, Sony's handheld device can be had for just $169.99 — that's $30 cheaper than its regular price. The model available is the PlayStation Vita 3G/WiFi with 8GB Memory Card.

Although numerous retailers will be discounting the PlayStation Vita this holiday season, Best Buy will be the lowest. Most others will be selling it for $179.99.

Aside from the various Vita exclusives — like Killzone: Mercenary and Tearaway — Sony's handheld works in tandem with the PlayStation 4. Thanks to Remote Play functionality, you can play most of your PS4 games directly on the Vita by streaming the gameplay over WiFi, essentially freeing up your TV for other uses. Sony also offers other incentives like Cross Buy, which basically gives you both the handheld and console versions of a game for one price.
