Sony teases 'slimmest' PlayStation device coming to the UK on January 30th
1/24/2014 2:15:00 PM
We've had a lucky run with product teasers recently. Instead of being totally vague, they've deliberately given us some inkling of what to expect, and we're hoping that the Sony flyer above -- summoning us to a PlayStation event in London -- does so too. We're told the briefing will introduce UK journalists to the "slimmest" PlayStation device, but we're not told that we're definitely going to witness the launch of a whole new product, which -- to our minds, at least -- suggests we might be looking at the UK launch of the PlayStation Vita TV (though it's probably just a new Vita model). At just 13.6mm thick, Vita TV is the thinnest PS device that we know of and it's currently only available in Japan, so a launch in the UK could potentially be a big deal. We're gonna go ahead and rule out a super slim PlayStation 4 already.
Acting as a sort of miniature console / set-top box hybrid, the Vita TV offers a cheaper, but less mobile way to play Vita games, by hooking up to your TV over HDMI and using a DualShock 3 controller at the other end. And given that its Japanese price equates to around £60, we might hopefully see it cost around £80 including VAT, or perhaps less than £100 when you factor in the URQ (UK Rip-off Quotient). Alternatively, we could be horribly wrong about all of this -- maybe it's an all-new, super-thin PlayStation Vita handheld (the latest Japanese model is 15mm thick). Who knows? We'll be there at the event, in any case, with a flask of coffee and a pair of calipers.
