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)
When it comes time to recommend a game console, it almost always comes down to games. Are there enough of them? Are they good enough? At this point, the Vita answers both of those questions with a resounding affirmative.AdvertisementThe Vita hasn't become...

Abstract: This is a review done by a PS Vita owner almost a year after buying the device. I was one of the earliest buyers at the beginning of the year, as I'm a real Sony fan. I filmed the review back then, as an excited noobster and now I'm back with impressions ...
Abstract: Posted in ReviewsIn 1989 I received a Nintendo Game Boy for Christmas. It was boxy, dull, and had a dinky 2.5” screen that could only display four shades of grey. It came with Tetris, which turned out to be one of the best handheld games of all time. T...

To put it simply, the Vita is the best portable video game system I have ever owned, and I have owned them all. I have owned a PSP, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Gear, Nintendo DS and a Nintendo 3DS. The PlayStation Vita triumphs over all of them.So shou...

Abstract: To now where the market it dominated with Smartphone gaming like Angry Birds or Draw Something, it would almost appear as if real true handheld gaming is out the door. Then you see a device like the PlayStation Vita that has the ability to take handheld g...
Big, beautiful OLED screen, Lots to play, lots to watch, lots to do, A new generation of interactivity and interoperability
