PlayStation Vita

Sony Playstation Vita, the upcoming portable game console from Sony Computer Entertainment, won't be released as everybody expected in the end of 2011 but in 2012. Only Japan is getting the device before Christmas. Speaking to the press in Tokyo, Sony Chairman Kaz Hirai  clarified that the launch would not be accompanied by a lowered price, despite Nintendo's hasty and reactionary price drop on the Nintendo 3DS.

"We packed so much into the device and made it very affordable," Hirai said. "There is no need to lower the price just because somebody else that happens to be in the video game business decided that they were going to lower their price."

 The PlayStation Vita will start at $249, alongside a 3G-enabled version for $299. Taking into account the new portable console's specifications it's pretty reasonable price. 

Unclaimed Money

The topic of unclaimed money is getting pretty hot lately especially when public discovered that 1.5 billion dollars go unclaimed every year. And that's not taking into account 0.5 billion dollars of unclaimed lottery prizes.

It is estimated that the combined amount of unclaimed property held by all state treasurers exceeds $10 BILLION. And it is estimated that in excess of $10 BILLION of withholding tax remains unclaimed each year by the rightful owners and beneficiaries. By example, the Iowa Lottery currently has an unclaimed Hot Lotto Prize of $16,500,000 that will expire on December 29, 2011!

Some of the fastest ways to lay your hands on your unclaimed money are:
1. Explore the State treasury sites: Almost every state treasury has an unclaimed money site which is full of relevant information and tools for the application of claim. These websites are continuously updated with the most current list of unclaimed money search recipients.
 2. Explore the Government sponsored sites: Lost bank accounts, Savings bonds, and Pension funds.

So take action right away and you may get some of that pie too.
