The PS Vita will now retail for $269.95 in Australia for the 3G and Wi-Fi model, Sony Australia has confirmed.
The news follows the announcement of similar price cuts for Europe and North America at the Gamescom convention in Cologne.

Vita memory cards have been reduced also: a 4 GB card is $19.95, a 8 GB $26.95, 16 GB is $46.95, while 32 GB is $84.95.
Sony also announced today that both Borderlands 2 and Fez will release for PS Vita, though no specific dates were offered. Mojang also confirmed Minecraft will reach the portable device some time in 2014.
The cut follows admissions earlier this month by a Sony executive that the Vita has underperformed at retail.
Sony also confirmed at Gamescom that the PlayStation 4 will launch on November 29 in Australia and New Zealand.
