Well, it's not really a big surprise to hear this, but since it's confirmed it's great to share it with everybody: the PlayStation Vita will be available for a hands-on testing at Gamescom this year.

PlayStation Vita gets its first public bow at Europe’s biggest video game show from 17 August 2011, when gamescom 2011 opens its doors to the masses. By rushing over to the PlayStation stand you’ll get the opportunity to play on PlayStation Vita and boast about it to your friends – and you may even get the chance to meet us on the show floor and reveal what you thought of this incredible machine.
