I'm getting it no doubt. DAY 1

[ryne candy]

A file from Sony that leaked is reporting a November 4th release date for ALL TERRITORIES

I think they are confusing it with the UK retailer that had 11/4 release date. Doubt it's coming out that early for UK.

This is getting even more interesting.

Skype on the Vita?

No question. D1C (Day One Confirmed) for me.

I honestly think it will. The quicker they get it out the quicker they bury the 3DS. I honestly don't think that retailer would have that date without any reason. Most retailers hold onto the placeholder date of 12/31. As far as the US date is concerned the US normally gets stuff before the UK or the same day. It is hardly ever the other way around. With the 1st PSP the US got it 6 months before the UK.

I too wish....but GameSpot stated that the retailer also listed a rather unlikely looking range of Vita launch titles, including Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Bioshock, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, Resistance, Ruin, Modnation Racers and Street Fighter X Tekken, which are all also being offered for pre-order for the same date as the new console.

edit: I also edited my OP (before your reply) because I was thinking of the UK and JPN...not even thinking of US. I don't think Sony is going to release it here first before "thanking" JPN for supporting the PSP with all the Monster Hunter love.

If this is true, which I doubt it is, but if so it could be the greatest console launch in history. All of those games are AAA titles. And I would probably buy all of them, except for SFXT.

The PSN is still down in Japan. Releasing the Vita without the PSN is exactly like Nintendo releasing with out the e-shop. I'm still thinking worldwide release. I think the days of scattered releases are over. Games are being localized at a much quicker rate. The system is region free. No reason to truly have a different release date for different regions.

I hope you're right. I'm starting to get so excited I might just Brink myself.:jizz:

While I'm hoping and praying that release date holds to be true, it does make a lot of sense to launch the platform before the holiday season. Definitely a day 1 purchase for me as well. Is there really a Killzone game coming out for it at launch or soon after? If so, I'll definitely pick that up as well.

I also expect the selection of launch title to suck just like every new system launch in the last 10 years

[Twigg4075]

When I reserved mine today they had about 15 games on a list scheduled to release at launch.

The manager pribted me off the list but I don't have it with me. I know it had Uncharted, ModNation, LBP, Street Fighter X Tekken and Little Deviants.

All of those scream successful launch

I agree. Although I know there were no Killzone, Resistance or Bioshock listed.

Son of a bitch.
