The new look version of the PlayStation Vita has today been confirmed by Sony Japan. It is scheduled to be released in Japan on October 10th and will cost the equivalent of £122/$180. The unit looks similiar to the design of the Vita you have now but will be 20 per cent thinner and 15 per cent lighter, one downer is the omission of an OLED screen.
