Sony's yet to announce the line-up of games it will be bringing to the event, but expect the usual suspects: Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048 and Everybody's Golf Next. Fingers crossed Sony use GamesCom to give PlayStation Vita a big 2011 European release date. Please.

Please date PlayStation Vita for 2011

Please date PlayStation Vita for 2011. Please date PlayStation Vita for 2011. We predict two fates for Sony's GamesCom press conference this year: jubilation or abject disappointment.

It's the report we've all been dreading, but it's finally here

Both VG247 and CVG are reporting that the PlayStation Vita will not launch in Europe until 2012.
