PlayStation Vita Release Date Leaked?

According to a promotional flier issued by rental giant Blockbuster, gamers could have their hands on Sony’s eagerly-awaited next generation portable console this autumn. Both the wi-fi and 3G models (respectively priced at £229.99 and £279.99) are set to launch on October 28th.

Sony has been quick to address the listing with the usual dose of ambiguity, stating that the PlayStation Vita is billed for a “phased global release,” offering very little insight as to whether the PSP successor will actually be available this holiday season.

Don’t forget that earlier this week a press release from 505 Games for its upcoming sports title, Supremacy MMA, also mentioned that the Vita will be launching before the end of the year.

  1. Sounds good but like most retailer flyers it’s mainly estimate.

    Although releasing before xmas woul mean a lot sold due to the xmas market the fact it would be released in a period of imo the golden age of this generation’s games could be mental.

    I personally will say:-
    Japan – Oct/Nov
    US – Nov/Dec
    Europe – Jan/Feb

    However I so want one of these beauties – I got 3DS day one also but hardly played it as it really ain’t as good as I thought and 3D effect is nothing special.

    • And it gives headaches after 15 minutes.

    • it would’ve been better if there was more games and well?… its a good system.. I only bought Japanese games which isn’t surprising, the rest was a bit unappealing.

  2. Well, theres only a few downloadable games I am eagerly awaiting this year on consoles, so if this is true, GREAT :D

  3. u will not see vita till 2012

  4. still havnt got the funds to get this, still want it to be released before xmas though

  5. What is this holiday season – the Christmas period? Do we have to use terms that only make sense to Americans?

  6. Still waiting for any info about how the 3G version works – costs, network, contract etc. Holding off on pre-ordering until I know what I’m actually buying. Or have I missed an announcement?

  7. Hope this date is true, I go to New York on 1st November, so this would make the flight more interesting.
