New Vita Hitting The U.K.
The redesigned PlayStation Vita has been confirmed for a U.K. release, hopefully meaning it's one step closer to being announced for North America.
The slimmer Vita will hit stores in the U.K. in a "matter of days," according to MCVUK, who has received confirmation from Sony.
Among the changes for this new Vita (only available in the wi-fi version): It's lighter, slimmer, boasts a better battery life, has 1GB of built-in storage, and switches out the better-looking OLED screen for an LCD one.
In other Vita news in Europe – Sony has announced the 10-game PS Vita Indie Game Mega Pack for February. The games included are:
- Alien Breed
- Thomas Was Alone
- Velocity Ultra
- Men's Room Mayhem
- Coconut Dodge Revitalised
- Limbo
- Hotline Miami
- Total Recoil
- Superfrog HD
- Floating Cloud God Saves the Pilgrims in HD

Our Take
This new-version Vita is heading westward, and given Sony's pushing of the handheld as the perfect accessory for the PS4, I'm confident we'll be getting it too.
