UPDATE
The UK pre-order price for the Sony PlayStation Vita has been revealed, with both Play and Game offering the handheld for �279.99 (3G) and �229.99 (Wi-Fi).
As the more eagle-eyed of you will notice, this is a near like-for-like dollar and pounds pricing strategy, something us in the UK are unfortunately getting used to now.
ORIGINAL STORY
Sony's E3 conference revealed a few things about the Japanese Electronics giant, and not just contrition over the recent hacking scandal.
The big news was that the Sony NGP has been renamed the PlayStation Vita and, more importantly, the release date and price have been announced.
Sony has stated that the Vita will be coming to the US this Christmas. A UK release shouldn't be too far behind - a holiday UK release date would definitely see Sony in the race for most sought-after gift on our fair shores.
Network dependent?
The Vita will retail for $249 (�152) for the Wi-Fi only model but will likely cost closer to �200 when it lands on our shores - so if you're planning a winter getaway to the States you might save a few pounds.
The 3G model will be coming in at a slightly pricier $299 (�182) but will likely be subject to heavy subsidies.
Sony has announced that AT&T will be exclusive provider of the 3G Vita model in the US, which means we could see a similar situation over here with the likes of Vodafone or O2 nabbing the new portable console over their networks.
So come on Sony - give us a PS Vita launch date and price already so we can start planning the emotional assault on our significant others.
