PlayStation Vita Launches Tomorrow

Tomorrow marks the date of the 22nd February 2012 and the UK launch of the PlayStation Vita: the predecessor to the promising but ultimately disappointing PlayStation Portable.

The Vita will set you back £230 for the Wi-Fi only model and £299 for the 3G & Wi-Fi model.  PlayStation Vita launch titles include Uncharted: The Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, WipeOut 2048 & Modnation Racers: Road Trip, to name a few.



The official midnight launch is being held at GAME Oxford Street, with a selection of special goodies being handed out and a couple of guests.  Wipeout 2048 developers Karl Jones & Ami Ledger will be there to sign copies of the game & the Vita Mobile Team will also be there offering people in the queue a chance to sample the Vita before picking it up.

Goody bags including merchandise will be distributed and the first person in the queue will receive a year's supply of free Vita games.  A select amount of invitations to an exclusive after-party at the PlayStation Vita Rooms will also be handed out, where fans can enjoy DJ-Sets, refreshments and an exclusive chance to sample upcoming Vita releases.


"As the official launch partner, we've been leading the way by giving gamers the chance to sample the console across 600 GAME and Gamestation stores and the excitement built around the PlayStation Vita launch shows that handheld gaming is as popular as ever," explained GAME and Gamestation marketing manager Anna-Marie Mason.

"With both our flagship stores opening at midnight to celebrate the launch of PlayStation Vita, we're getting set for a fantastic night of gaming and we're looking forward to giving customers the earliest chance possible to buy their own PlayStation Vita."


Gamestation's Birmingham New Street store will also be opening at midnight.  There were no plans to roll out nationwide midnight launches but ask in your local store to find out if they are doing a midnight opening.
