We know the PlayStation Vita will be available in Japan first on December 17th, 2011. And we also know it'll be available in Europe and Australia
come February 22nd, 2012. What about North America? Because that's
where I be. Well that, according to IGN, who received official
confirmation from Sony, will also be available on the 22nd of February.
That's only like 125 days away ... as of me writing this.
But if you just can't wait you can always [color:17cd=blue !important][color:17cd=blue !important]import the device straight from Japan, because after all -- the PlayStation Vita is region-free -- meaning no content restrictions. Import, pay duties and play ... all day!
What about prices though? Well the standard Wi-Fi version will amount
to a total of £229.99 (GBP), €249.99 (Euros) and $349.95 in Australia.
However as expected the Vita that also includes 3G functionality will
reach higher retail prices of £279.99 (GBP), €299.99 (Euros) and $449.95
in Australia, bare in mind that this is the cost without your fees from
your 3G price plan.
As far as games are concerned, it is rumoured that a staggering 80
are already in production during the pre-release era of the new
innovative [color:17cd=blue !important][color:17cd=blue ! important]handheld. Not only this but the Vita is said to have a form of augmented reality, similar to that feature on the Nintendo 3DS.
