White PS3 coming to Europe and Australia in November
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlaystation 3 Slim
There's nothing a like an (almost) fresh and exciting color variant to make us totally forget about the PS4. Besides, this little dazzler will come with a 320GB HDD and two equally white Dualshock controllers, which means you'll only have to spray-paint your PS3 Move, headset, external drive, wheel and eyebrows to match. Look out for it at GameStop in the UK, Germany and possibly other Euro nations too, as well as at Electronic Boutique in Australia from November 1st -- or just pre-order via the source links below.

Sony PS Vita up for pre-order with Dec 31 release
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPSVITA
The Sony PS Vita – the company’s replacement to the PSP – has gone up for pre-order at Amazon, with the retailer suggesting a December 31 2011 ship date in the US. Both Amazon’s US and UK sites are offering the Vita, each having the WiFi-only and WiFi + 3G versions up for grabs. Pricing starts at $249.99 in the US and £229.99 in the UK.
That gets you the WiFi-only models; if you want integrated 3G, you’re looking at $299.99 in the US or £279.99 in the UK. In the US you’ll need to sign up to an AT&T data agreement in order to actually use that 3G connectivity, and Sony – or Amazon – is yet to confirm which carrier(s) the UK version of the handheld will be offered with.

Today, Nintendo revealed a new Wii bundle featuring a slightly redesigned console that will not be compatible with GameCube software or accessories.

Sony announces WiFi-less PSP E-1000, hits Europe this fall for €99
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPSP-E1000
Sony had more than just a PS3 price cut to reveal at its Gamescom press conference today: it also announced that it will be releasing a new budget-priced PSP model that sports a new design and curiously ditches the WiFi capability that the PSP has had since its debut. No word of a North American release just yet, but folks in Europe will be able to pick it up this fall for €99 (or about $140, though we're guessing the actual US price would come in below that; the standard PSP-3000 currently demands €130 in Europe). Hit the gallery below for a closer look.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPSVITA
No, we’re not joking. The latest pre-order updates from Best Buy and Amazon suggest the Sony PlayStation Vita will not launch in the US and UK until the 30th of March 2012. That’s nearly three months after the December launch in Japan. Following the initial shock of the PS Vita delay, today’s update feels like Sony is rubbing salt in our wounds.

PlayStation Vita will miss Christmas shopping season in U.S., Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPSVITA
Sony’ next-generation portable video game console will not launch in the U.S. until early 2012, Sony Executive Vice President Kazuo Hirai told The Associated Press on Thursday. Sony’s PlayStation Vita will become available later this year in Japan, but it will miss the all-important holiday shopping season here in the U.S. and in Europe as well. Some, such as Daiwa Securities Capital Markets analyst Koki Shiraishi, believe Sony’s sales will take a huge hit as a result. “That’s when you do half your year’s sales,” Shiraishi told the AP. “This is going to prove painful for Sony.” When it finally does launch next year, the PlayStation Vita will start at $249 for a Wi-Fi-only model and a 3G-equi...

Sony Insurer Claims It Shouldn't Have to Pay Off After Hack
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPlayStation 3
An insurer for Sony says that it shouldn't have to pay off legal claims for the Sony PlayStation Network earlier this year.
Zurich American Insurance told a New York state court that it did not feel that it should be held responsible for compensating Sony for a attack on Sony's network that forced the game-console provider to take down the PlayStation Network for weeks. Subsequent hacks also attacked Sony sites in Japan and Europe.
Zurich American's documents allege that it should be liable for claims "asserted in the class-action lawsuits, miscellaneous claims, or potential future actions instituted by any state attorney general," according to Reuters, which first reported the story.
