Nah I don't think it will happen. It would have had a crazy amount of hype by now. Anyways I might buy it. If a big and good game releases. 

also is gravity daze or uncharted even confirmed launch games because that would be the only reason i would consider getting it at launch.

I'm pretty sure they are launch games..well if I'm not mistaken U:GA is definitely a launch game. Gravity is confirmed a launch window game so it will follow soon after even if it's not available day one

They should release with a 2 month later 1/3 price cut to top nintendo LOL

We also reached out to Sony for comment, and they confirmed that Vita would receive a "phased global release" this holiday season

ww 2011 confirmed?

hmm...i dont believe it...i mean a Europe release before a Japan release of a Sony console?get the fukk out!

i hope it comes with Uncharted bundled and some pre loaded software. Just hoping the Digital Distribution store is good and SONY dont completely screw it up, and also lay down localised overpricing on DD games here in AUS.

 No they didn't :/. They've been saying 2011 in Europe every single time they've given it a date, whether that was at some developer presentation in the UK, to retailers, or some other times i forget.

 They only thing they've said officially officially is 2011 in at least one territory... we'll find out at the German Games con thing anyway. I hope :/.

I think Sony didn't plan to release the Vita before 2012 in Europe, but now that Nintendo cutted the price of the 3DS Sony would be seriously dumb not to release it on time for Christmas.
A 3DS at €170 is gonna sell like crazy at Christmas, Sony should under no circumstances allow that to happen. I think we will see a worldwide 2011 release announced at GC.

I wish people would stop abbreivating GamesCom, I keep reading it as GameCube ...
