Hi chaps, I snapped this picture at Dick Smith DFO on Sunday. 20% off their regular price of the Wi-Fi and 3G Vita. I thought, sure, that's not bad.. but perhaps I can get it lower. SO I trotted off to the three Good Guys stores here in Canberra, one had no stock, one wouldn't pricematch that low (their lowest offer was $358 for the 3G), but the third one came good, after some.. 'robust' negotiations.
So using the 20% off gift cards purchased on Monday, I paid $268 in total - down from the original price of $417. Your mileage may vary, but at the very least, if you're in Canberra, there was plenty of stock left at Dick Smith DFO.
I've edited out my own information and that of the salesman at GG, but here's a copy of my receipt.

Good luck!
Nice find.
Being such a terrible negotiator myself, I doubt I'll be able to talk TGG into price matching DS, but props to you.
I think I will wait for an official price drop, because the Vita is doing poorly worldwide. Also I have a feeling they will do a second revision next year, which is normal for electronics anyway, but I'm hoping they will slim it down. That thing is huge. The screen alone is the size of a phablet. It's not very portable IMO.
