Sony is releasing a new games bundle for the PS Vita in February: the Indie Games Mega Pack, featuring 10 top titles from innovative and up-and-coming developers. The pack with feature games like Hotline Miami, Velocity Ultra, Thomas Was Alone and more, along with a 4GB memory card.

PS Vita memory cards are available in three sizes and will be priced at the following:
