Retailers have begun to post prices for the Vita launch line-up, and it looks like there are going to be some sore wallets come V-day.

On the more fiscally-friendly end of the spectrum, games like Reality Fighters and Little Deviants are being listed for as little as £17.99, with an RRP of £24.99.

WipEout 2048 has been spotted at £29.99 (RRP £34.99), putting it in the same price bracket as top-tier 3DS titles.

However, the much-anticipated Uncharted: Golden Abyss appears to be retailing at £39.99, with an eye-watering RRP of £44.99.

How much?

This places Naughty Dog's portable pillaging simulator alongside triple-A home console games in terms of cost, a decision that might raise a few eyebrows.

The above prices are currently listed on Play.com. It's important to note that prices will vary between outlets, and may change before the Vita launches on February 22nd, 2012.

Sony has gone on record saying it would take "a more tailored approach" when determining the cost of Vita games, so expect to see a variety of price tags hanging from next year's launch line-up.
