AT&T data plans for the PlayStation Vita have been announced

Nothing really new here if you are familiar with data plans on the Apple iPad.

The PlayStation Vita will be available in 2 models: one that will have Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities and one that will only have Wi-Fi. Those that want to take their internet access with them where ever they go will most likely opt for the 3G compatible console which will not only be $50 more expensive (at $299 USD) but will also require a monthly service plan from AT&T.

The service plan will not require users to be stuck with a contract, which is nice, but the prices seem a bit heft for data. Like the Apple iPad, the plans start at $14.99 a month for 250MB of data which can be a lot depending how you use it (I have never gone over my 250MB on my iPad as there are hotspots everywhere). The other option would be $25 a month and give the users 2GB of data.

Those who sign up for an AT&T data plan will be given a free downloadable game along with access to AT&T hotspots around the country.

Which version will you buy?
