The PlayStation Vita is available to buy from Vodafone
Sony's preferred provid
HD video disappointing
Games are pricey
Surfing the net is clunky
The price to pay for a handheld that offers console-quality graphics is a high cost. The PlayStation Vita costs up to £279 for a 3G version - just as much as a fully-equipped home console
More in fact. You could purchase an Xbox 360 for the price of a PlayStation Vita and still have enough to purchase a game. The memory cards
Too are incredibly costly. Expect to pay up to £27 for an 8GB memory
Games are comparatively expensive
There's a learning curve
Proprietary-tastic
That browser
Screen cover is fiddly

In travel pouch
Rear multi-touch pad takes a lot of getting used to
Front and rear camera qualities are nothing to write home about
Game loading times can be painful
Battery life is just 3 hours for gameplay (although better than the 3DS)
Position of analogue sticks (you have to bend your thumbs round to use them)
Abstract: Mobile gaming is all the rage right now with smartphones capturing a huge part of the market. However, dedicated handheld systems are powerful and have a lot to offer, so let's take a look at the PS Vita, Sony's flagship portable gaming device.Nintendo do...
There is no question that after a few days use the Vita felt like a handheld version of the PS3 in the palm of your hand. Technically it's quad-based CPU and graphics power provided a smooth gaming experience. Plus when viewed head-on the graphics and aud...

As a freebie, you can't complain, and the headphones are an okay, if not spectacular, matching accessory. If you're going to pay for it, though, don't spend too much. One last thing – you can only redeem the items until the end of August 2012. If it's aft...
There's no doubt that Sony has created a very powerful handheld gaming device in the PS Vita. It has thrown everything it can into creating a machine with excellent build quality that can play cutting-edge games. The controls are tactile and the games loo...
Abstract: The PS Vita is big. Game Gear big, almost. But thankfully, it's rarely uncomfortable. Measuring 182mm across, 83.5mm tall and 18.6mm thick, it looks fairly similar to the PSP 1000 model, but scaled upwards slightly. Therefore you've still got a black...
Well built, comprehensive controls, good launch lineup, good online store
Short battery life, games are comparatively expensive
If you're into gaming the PlayStation Vita makes a lot of sense. It's a well-built dedicated gaming system that's a lot like having a PlayStation 3 in your pocket (or at least in your bag). What it lacks in versatility it makes up for in focus, which is n...

The PlayStation Vita is one pricey bit of kit. But if you can justify the high costs, it is arguably the best handheld gaming experience around. PlayStation Vita is tagged with PlayStation, Vita, Sony, handheld, consoles and gaming. Select a tag (Play...
