This morning in Japan, Sony held a press conference to announce (among other things) a new version of the PlayStation Vita.
The new version will be 20% thinner and 15% lighter, and will also have a slightly improved battery that lasts an hour longer than the original model.
It will also swap its OLED screen for an LCD, and will have a 1GB internal hard drive, though Sony also announced a new 64GB memory card for the Vita.
The new Vita will also be available in white, pink, light blue, and grey, as well as the original black.
It will be relased on October 10 in Japan, where stores are already accepting pre-orders, and while there was no word as to when or if this version would be released in the U.S. or anywhere else, it’s a good bet that it will at some point.
Whether we’ll get the white, gray, pink, or blue models as well as the black one, however, is a different story.
At a recent event held, in part, to announce the opening of their new Los Angeles studio, Konami and Kojima Productions revealed new details about the upcoming stealth action game Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.
Set in the studio’s theater, the event consisted of a previously seen trailer, a live demo — which was running on a PC and is representative of how the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game will look — and a Q&A session with director Hideo Kojima and art director Yoji Shinkawa that we were not allowed to record.

GAME REVIEW: Puppeteer
With lots of running and jumping in a two-dimensional world so photorealistic that it looks like it’s made of wood, cloth, and Elmer’s glue, Puppeteer is going to remind a lot of people of the LittleBigPlanet games. Heck, it’s even got a British narrator. But this adorable and inventive platformer from SCE Japan Studio (which Sony is publishing for the PlayStation 3, naturally) is different enough that both lovers and haters of L.B.P. might get a kick out of it.
Warner Home Video have announced that Pacific Rim will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 3D Blu-ray on October 15.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro (Blade II, Pan’s Labyrinth), and based on a script by del Toro and Travis Beacham, the sci-fi movie stars Charlie Hunnam (Sons Of Anarchy) and Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) as co-pilots of a giant mech who must fight similarly large monsters from another dimension. Which basically makes it Transformers vs. Godzilla.
Zenescope Entertainment have announced that Quest, a new miniseries based in their Grimm’s Faity Tales universe, will launch in November.
The series will be written by Pat Shand, who previously wrote Robyn Hood and Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: Unleashed Volume 1, and other books for Zenescope.
NECA have announced that they will release an action figure called Gentleman Caller Claptrap, a dapper version of the robot from Borderlands, in mid-December.
The 7-inch tall figure is modeled to look like the ’bot when he’s running the bank, hence his top hat, cufflinks (and cuffs), monocle, and mustache.
