Amazon Lists PS Vita Release Date?

In: Articles by Edie Sellers

21 Jun 2011

It’s hard to know if this is just a wild guess on the part of online retailer Amazon, or if it’s something official. But either way, when we see something in print, it merits a mention. Amazon is currently listing the PS Vita as having a release date of December 31, 2011. What makes us [...]

Look, I won’t lie. There’s been a lot of confusion about this since the news first hit. So let us spell it out for you. It started with a employee blog for a Japanese game retailer noting that a new Playstation 3 is set for release. The new model — CECH-3000B — reportedly will start [...]

The whole security thing just got very, very nasty.

The group uploaded the file to file sharing sites twice: Once in its initial posting and a second time after the site removed [...]

11 Jun 2011

One of the many questions about the PS Vita — and perhaps one of the largest — has been the memory-storage medium.

If you’ve ever tried to connect up with a buddy on the Wii, you know exactly why it’s not the console of choice of online-mulitplayer fans. Simply put, Nintendo’s Friend Code system is balls. And not the good kind. Whereas both Sony and Microsoft make finding and connecting with friends relatively easy with an account [...]
