According to a flier released by Block Buster UK, PlayStation Vita release date was shown as October 28. Whether this news is authentic or not, it has yet to be confirmed.
This was reported by IGN, Block Buster UK released a new flier which listed the upcoming games and consoles. It contained a listing for PlayStation Vita as can be seen below. The listing showed a 28th October release date and a launch price of 229.99 euro for the Wi-Fi only model. The 3G model was listed as 279.99 euros.
This price is a little expensive as compared to the US. The official price for US was $250 for the Wi-Fi only model while if we convert this European price to US, we will get $330.
It is still unconfirmed whether this is for Europe only or it is a global launch date. Japan will be getting Playstation Vita on 12th December, 2011 as announced by Kaz Hirai during this year’s E3. Sony previously said that PS Vita will launch in Japan and US first before making its debut in Europe. This news makes it look like Europe will be likely getting this handled first but like we said, it is a rumor only so far so better wait for the official launch date.
Recently, Nintendo slashed the price of 3DS from $250 to $170. This was a surprise as 3DS has been barely out for a few months now. The PlayStation Vita, being the direct competitor to 3DS, needs to have a stronger launch in order to benefit Sony.
