Slim PlayStation announcement next week

PlayStation UK is teasing a new ‘slim’ announcement for next week.

The invitation to a breakfast event set to take place at 9am on January 30th simply reads:

Following the biggest launch in PlayStation history,
join us for an introduction to the slimmest.”

What could it mean? Well if we were guessing folk, and we are, we’d say it is the news of a UK release for the Slim PlayStation Vita, as released in Japan last year. The new PS Vita is 20 per cent thinner and 15 per cent lighter and replaces its nice OLED screen with a not-quite-as-nice-but-you-probably-won’t-notice LCD screen.

We’ll know for certain next week.
