From the moment you switch it on
You realise the PlayStation Vita is unlike any handheld before it. Graphically it’s the most powerful there has ever been. Its OLED touchscreen is a sight to behold
Giving games a beautiful console-like sheen. The touchscreen itself works wonderfully well and is highly sensitive
With no noticeable lag whatsoever. Just try playing Uncharted
Golden Abyss and att

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
No all
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)
After my affair with lovely Vita, what is clear to me is that dedicated handhelds will be around for some time. PS Vita doesn't try to replicate a smartphone's convenience and that is where its strength lies. There are plenty of reasons to justify th...
Large, highresolution display; wide selection of launch games; impressive graphics; plenty of potential for the future,
Console, games and storage are all expensive; 3G version doesn't currently appear to have any major advantages; short battery life,
Opinions of the Vita are likely to be split, but we're largely impressed. It's a pricey but powerful gaming handheld that's backed up by a wide selection of quality games ...

Brilliant! The hardware is fantastic and although some of the software is still a bit rough but I expect that to improve over successive updates. It's probably only one for avid gamers, but the quality of those games and what the Vita can deliver means th...
Excellent screen; phenomenal graphics; great mix of familiar and new controls,
Expensive memory cards; battery life.
If you don’t consider yourself a gamer, then the PlayStation Vita isn’t going to change your world. Buy a tablet or a smartphone and you’ll get ample gaming goodness and a device you can use for other things. If you are a gamer, however, the Vita is ju...

Position of analogue sticks (you have to bend your thumbs round to use them), Proprietary format memory cards, Quite bulky for a portable console
The Sony PlayStation Vita is a first-rate piece of kit! It's well built and finished, and boasts a superb OLED touchscreen plus high-end graphics. The buttons and analogue sticks make for great gameplay, while the touch-controls bring new possibilities...
Great games launch package, Wonderful aesthetics, Brilliant screen, Packed with highend tech, Intuitive interfaces,
Pricey, Video playback not great, Both cameras poor
In just about every measurable respect, the Vita vastly outclasses its chief rival, Nintendo's 3DS. Where that dual-screen darling offers up the visual pop of autostereoscopic 3D, it's not impacted the overall quality or innovation of games released fo...
As with any new gaming platform, the key to success for the PlayStation Vita is the development of sufficient great games, but we like the design and build of the Vita. ...
