If CVG and VG247 are to be believed, the PlayStation Vita won’t arrive on European store shelves until early 2012. Although the release date has yet to be confirmed by Sony, they are still aiming for a pre-Christmas launch in North America. It would be disappointing if the European release date is in 2011.
The projected EU price that most retailers are predicting for the purposes of securing those early pre-orders is £239/£289 or €249/€299 but so far, only the US price of $249/$299 has been confirmed.
