Online retailer ShopTo claims PS Vita will come out on November 4th, games will cost £39.99

More or less every time a significant game or piece of hardware is due, a retailer apparently leaks the release date by publishing it online. Every time this happens, the release date turns out to be nonsense.

And so we turn with due scepticism to the news that online retailer ShopTo has revealed that Sony's PlayStation Vita portable console will be available on November 4th, with an RRP of £279.99. Though Sony hasn't revealed UK pricing, this is pretty much in line with expectations for the 3G model.

Along with the console ShopTo has also listed Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout PS Vita (presumably referring to WipEout 2048), Killzone, Resistance, and others with an RRP of £39.99.

Speaking to MCV, Sony claimed that it had, “not made any announcements about software pricing, so that's just speculation.”
