The release date for a new ice silver PS Vita has been disclosed by Sony, and this model is expected to hit select markets across Asia soon. To be exact, it will be arriving on store shelves in Hong Kong on February 28, in Singapore on March 4 and in Malaysia on March 6. This fresh hue of the handheld console will only be made available on its Wi-Fi variant, and will of course not feature any hardware changes.
The price details of the ice silver PS Vita have also come to the fore via Sony. Gamers in Hong Kong will need to shell out 2,280 HKD (approx. Rs. 15,685) so as to lay their hands on the machine, whereas those in Singapore will have to purchase it in exchange of 399 SGD (approx. Rs. 17,221). In Malaysia on the other hand, it will be sold at 1,099 MYR (approx. Rs. 18,988). This information was revealed by Sony recently through the official PlayStation websites of the respective nations.
Launched by the Japanese electronics giant in February last year, this gaming device has been performing mildly in markets worldwide, say reports. A number of first-party as well as third-party titles have been coming its way on a regular basis. These include the likes of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Sound Shapes, Gravity Rush and more.
This console is known for the 5-inch OLED touchscreen that it carries on its front, while another one of its main highlights is its dual analog setup. And then there’s a touch pad at its back, adding one more control option apart from the usual keys of course. Our review, in which we granted the device an Overall score of 8.5/10, has a complete lowdown on all the traits it has to offer.
Even as this newly colored model gears up for a launch in Asian territories, all the eagerness of PlayStation fans is fixed on the February 20 event which Sony recently announced. It is being noted that this gathering will see the PS4 being unveiled for the first time. We’ll have complete details about the event right here, so stay tuned.
