Idle summers were once the perfect time to add to your reading lists, but thanks to Sony's Summer Blast 2013 sale it's now a great time to beef up your collection of Vita games.

Beginning July 2, Sony will slash the prices on several PS Vita titles for a full week. During the following week (July 9 - 16), those games will go back to their regular price but a new crop of Vita titles will see their prices slashed.

At current, this sale appears to be valid for North America only - but we'll keep you updated if news of a European sale should surface. Also note that those with PlayStation Plus membership can avail themselves of even deeper discounts.

The real standout on the list below is the Pocket Gamer Silver Award-winning Mortal Kombat, but here's the full summary of what Sony has in store for the PS Vita during Summer Blast 2013.
