12/31 is always a placeholder date for Q4/next year

I mean, what company releases a product on new year's eve?

Yup, what KG said. It's just a placeholder. Unfortunately I think March is probably going to be the most realistic. Just based on Jack Tretton's comments with Keighly after the E3 conference would lead me to believe that is the case.

As far as a business stand point I think they could seriously be missing the boat if they want to compete with the 3DS and they don't release until March. The 3Ds isn't selling that well and now is the time to pounce. the price point is perfect to slay the Nintendo "dragon" but if they miss the holiday season they might be screwed.

I'm not saying they should rush the thing but they might be dead in the water with a March release.

It will be release before Christmas, that would only make sense.

[tigstah]

get it out by thanksgiving. black friday, people eager to shop. you will have a better product (spec wise) than nintendo and at the same price point. its a no brainer....and like twigg said the 3ds isnt selling well anyway.

I wish these bastards would just set a concrete release date already. Me wants.

I'm dying for some new information on this thing. But I'm afraid we're probably going to end up having to wait till the Sony thing in Tokyo in September before we get anything news worthy. Just can't wait to get my hands on it and Uncharted.

Gamestop told me that 12/31 was a concrete date but I never beleive them haha. I agree with KG that its just a placeholder.

Seeing as that's a Saturday, I don't see any way that they aren't full of shit lol.

Game Informer article stating that Blockbuster has an October 28th release date for the system...

While it's far from a sure thing, a flyer supposedly leaked from Blockbuster pinpoints the release of Sony's new handheld – in the UK, at least.

According to the advertisement pictured below (courtesy of IGN), the hardware is set to launch on Friday, October 28 in the UK. That's only three month away, but it would ensure that Sony hits the target release for this holiday season along with giving people plenty of time to buy games before the year ends.

Given the lack of confirmation from Sony (and abundant speculation on the device's release date), I'm going to wait for an official announcement before I believe anything regarding when the Vita will be available.

The PSV passed it's FCC testing. Looking more and more like it will end up coming out this year.

October 28th is the perfect time for this sucker to come out.

Same day as BF3, though. Some of you guys are going to take a serious hit to the wallet that day.
