The rumors and the leaks about the official name for Sony's next portable, tentatively called the "Next Generation Portable" (or NGP), are looking more legit today.
Folks have spotted wording and details buried in the HTML source code for Sony's official E3 website that indicate the handheld will be officially dubbed "PS Vita." This corroborates the leaked information, which including alleged marketing materials and anonymous sources.
Of course, Sony could just be completely screwing with everyone, and will totally take us off guard during next week's press conference. You know, the one where Rebecca Black will be performing.
[Thanks, Pedro!]

I'm still gonna call it the NGP. I will never ever say "PS Vita." In fact, that's probably the last time I'll type it.
This handheld-held is Vita, Vita
Either way NGP is much better.
That said, I'll still be buying one.
I think it's Vee-Tah. And yeah NGP sounded cooler and not like a brand rye biscuits.
Every times someone talk abou Rebecca Black, it's mean HE IS JOKING xD.
Rebecca Black is just a internet joke xD. I hope you was joking about the joke xD.
And about Vita, it just mean "life". In french we said "Vie", and in latin it's Vita.
And for english, you need to said it like that
Vee-Tah ( like "Ve"lociraptor )
not Vie-tah ( like "vi"ce city )
I think it's Vee-Tah. And yeah NGP sounded cooler and not like a brand rye biscuits.
PLAY STATION. WII. And X BOX.
Is this worse than any of those?
Also, Protip: Use Firefox and/or FireBug for source viewing rather than Chrome.
Also, cocks.
Yup, this is worse.
We'll all just get used to it, and it will become the norm.
This? this is bullshit. it's good name for cereal flakes for fat, lazy women not for a console.
VITA? ha ha
Hey did you play the new vita game?
The new vita is sick...
Did you use your vita at all last week? .... No, why would I it's called a vita.
If I pick up one, I'll be thinking that every time.
