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

HEXUS Where2Buy
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)

Abstract: The PS Vita features a 5-inch OLED touchscreen and a new-look GUIIf you're a video games fan, you're going to love the Playstation Vita (£220 inc. VAT). Sony's handheld follow-up to the PSP is a gorgeous black device, curving round a 5-inch OLED touchscre...
The most powerful portable games console around, superb 5-inch 16:9 OLED touchscreen, light yet durable, as fast as an injury lawyer at a house fire in most circumstances, genuine effort to expand its remit beyond mere gaming
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)
Expensive it may be, but the PS Vita offers the best mobile gaming experience around. Its OLED screen is simply divine, and the whole device’s performance belies its diminutive size. It may not set the world alight, but if you’re a serious gamer then i...
Powerful quad-core processor; Big bright screen; Comfortable controls
Unimpressive battery life; Very big and bulky; Console and games are expensive; No internal storage; limited multi-tasking
The powerful PlayStation Vita offers dual-analogue controls and a big, bright screen. It's very bulky though, with unimpressive battery life, and the high price of console and games means that all but the most hardcore gaming nuts would be better serve...

Expensive for a handheld, Unimpressive battery life, Minor issues with Remote Play and media support
Impressively powerful and astonishingly feature-packed, PS Vita is - at least for now - the ultimate handheld games machine. With its touch-capabilities, augmented-reality cameras and motion-sensing capabilties it's a versatile little beast that should ...
Five-inch OLED touchscreen, Quadcore processor, Launch games line-up
Expensive, Fiddly card ports, Focus on core-gamers
Sony has really surprised us with the PS Vita, a dedicated gaming portable at supposedly the wrong time that could be so much more. Perhaps that's why it's dropped the 'PlayStation' logo from its belly - to signify a planned convergence with the app-heavy...
Looking first at the PlayStation Vita hardware we have a unit which first and foremost feels very comfortable to hold. At less than 300g it shouldn't cause fatigue in long gaming sessions and the front controls are well placed within easy reach of each...

Beautiful, bright screen, Surprisingly light but solid, Amazing, consolequality graphics,
Too wide for smaller hands, Vita game selection is currently limited, 35 hours of battery life
As a device, the Vita is stellar. It has all the right pieces in all the right places – the huge, bright screen, the dual analog sticks, the acceptable battery life, the size, shape, and weight. I wish all Sony products were like this – intelligently desi...

Abstract: Video games are welcome at the table of popular art, alongside movies, music, and television. Home consoles get a lot of attention, but portable gaming has done the heavy lifting when it comes to expanding the reach and acceptance of the medium.The road t...
Abstract: The PlayStation Vita has come a long way in the last two and a half years. Sony's handheld console has navigated a winding and sometimes uncertain route, often deviating from whatever we thought its original course would be. And yet somehow, these many mo...
