Now, via an update published on the PlayStation Blog, the company has given the handheld device a firm, official release date.

Sony has announced that the PlayStation Portal will launch on November 15 this year “in select markets”. Currently, pre-orders for the portable are available via PlayStation Direct in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Portugal.
