Sony's long-rumoured PlayStation Phone is expected to be officially announced on December 9, ahead of a planned commercial launch in February 2011.


That's according to MobileCrunch, which is carrying a photo of an event invite received by French tech blog Nowereelse.fr. The invite features an image of the four PlayStation symbols alongside a picture of a telephone.

A source claiming to have seen the PS Phone first hand told the site that the event invite is real, and that the device's screen is "mind-blowing", on-par with the iPhone 4s retina display.

Apparently the PS Phone is "nowhere near ready", but Sony-Ericsson is nevertheless aiming for a February 2011 launch.

The off-contract price of the handset could be in the region of $500, with the purchase including five free games. Games will likely be priced like mobile titles and not downloadable PSP ones, meaning under $10, the site also reports.

The first pictures of the as-yet-unofficially-unannounced PS Phone hit the net last month.

Sony subsequently discussed how it may bring a PlayStation Phone to market - and even hinted that an iPad-style tablet might not be far behind.
