SCEE confirms first party games available for PS Vita EU launch; prices detailed
Following SCEA’s announcement regarding the launch titles available for the Vita’s US launch, SCEE has followed suit, providing a list of the first-party games available at launch in PAL territories (which encompasses Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand). Interestingly, and despite launching the same day in Europe, SCEE has not detailed the launch games available from third-party publishers. However, they have confirmed price points for the first-party launch games – and if you’re wanting to pick up Uncharted: Golden Abyss at launch like I am – expect to pay AU $69.95.
Here’s the launch game line-up along with prices for each:
