E3 Update: The Playstation Vita Revealed

With the Sony E3 Press Conference wrapped up and lots of announcements made (including a 3D TV and more games to look forward to), the once named PSP2/ NGP has finally been given an official name - The Playstation Vita! Sure, it may take some time getting used to the new name that sounds like a mineral water product or a past Microsoft product, but it's even stellar to know that this baby packs a punch in graphics and has touch screen capabilities! What's more, it'll cost $300 dollars for the 3G unit, and $250 for the wifi only unit upon release! More details can be read on Kotaku, but you can expect Vita, which means "life", to hit the global market come fall this year. Check out the official E3 trailer below, courtesy of Sony!

Rumor: The NGP official name is PSVITA?

E3 is underway, and even before Sony gets on with their Press Conference for the show, a lot of rumors are flying in the interwebz already. One such rumor is the official name for their Next Generation Portable system (The NGP, or formerly known as the PSP2). According to a post from Kotaku and via NeoGaf, Sony has trademarked the name "PSVITA" with the Trademarks and Designs Registation Office of the Europen Union as of June 6. It has yet to be unveiled, but the logo image has spilled online and you can see it above, making it most likely that this is THE new name for Sony's new portable gaming system. More updates will come of course when the Sony E3 Press Con comes, so for more on this rumor story, visit Kotaku and NeoGaf.
