Simultaneous launch and pricing for each territory detailed.
Sony has announced that its upcoming PlayStation Vita handheld will launch in the UK, US, Europe and Australia on February 22 next year.
Speaking at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, SCEA president and CEO Jack Tretton confirmed the release date along with pricing for each territory. The price of 3G connectivity comes to £279.99 in the UK (€299.99 in Europe, $449.95 in Australia and $299 in the US), but if you're happy to stick with the Wi-Fi model the console will set you back £229.99 (€249.99 in Europe, $349.95 in Australia and $249 in the US).No details were given on what games each territory can expect in the launch line-up, but Tretton makes mention that there are currently 100 games in development globally, including Resistance: Burning Skies and Uncharted Golden Abyss, along with a host of native social applications such as Near, Party, Facebook and Twitter.
Last month, Sony revealed that the Vita would make its worldwide debut in Japan on December 17, with 26 titles available at launch.
If two months is too long for you to wait, Vita's region-free nature makes it easy enough to import. However, get your order in quickly as it was revealed yesterday that pre-order stock is selling out fast in Japan.
We recently spoke to the men taking charge of the Japanese giant’s next console discuss its creation – and future.
