The team at Sony in charge of the PlayStation Vita announces that it is working with Iron Galaxy Studios, Gearbox Software and 2K Games in order to launch a new special Borderlands 2 Limited Edition PlayStation Vita Bundle on May 6 of this year.

The game will also be offered as a standalone on May 13 both in retail stores and on the PlayStation Store.

The Vita included in the bundle will be a slimmer, lighter model with Wi-Fi, which has 1 GB of internal memory, more battery life and an improved overall design.

The package will include the handheld, a 8 GB Vita memory card and a copy of Borderlands 2.

The official PlayStation Blog announcement explains that, "We’ve been working hard to jam pack the endless looting and mayhem of Borderlands 2 into the palm of your hands, and we’re committed to porting over the heart and soul of the console original without compromising the gameplay you know and love. Soon, PS Vita owners can chase down Handsome Jack on the go."

Cross-saves with the PlayStation 3 version of Borderlands 2 are supported and gamers will also get access to six add-on packs for the title: Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty, Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage, the Psycho and Mechromancer Character Classes and the Ultimate Vault Hunter’s Upgrade Pack and the Collector’s Edition pack.
