Rumour: PlayStation Vita Will Be Released on October 28th?

Most Sony PlayStation fans today will be itching to get their hands on the Next-Generation of Portable gaming; the PlayStation Vita. And after much speculation in regards to the official release date of the device in the United Kingdom, it may possibly have been unveiled by Blockbuster UK.

Sourced by IGN, an anonymous reader sent an image of a Blockbuster UK flyer, listing all the dates and pre-order prices of numerous upcoming titles, as well as Sony’s upcoming portable console. Both versions of the PS Vita, according to the advertisement, will be released on Friday, October 28th. It also shows that the Wi-Fi only model will retail at £229.99, and the 3G and Wi-Fi model will retail at £279.99, the same prices listed by all other UK retailers.

This news has arrived just after yesterday’s press release for Supremacy MMA, which indicated that the PS Vita would see a retail release this fall, making it more evident that such a release date can be very likely.

It is however undetermined as to whether this advertisement is in fact authentic, due to no official confirmation of the release date being made by Sony, and can therefore be nothing more but a rumour at this time. However, the date does coincide with Sony’s global launch window.

Push-Start will keep you updated on the story, but here’s to getting yourself a PS Vita just in time to wrap up for Christmas.
