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

Sony PlayStation Vita
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)
The PS Vita is a excellent mobile gaming machine, not because its hardware is very fast, not because it has a great screen, but because it can provide a gaming experience that no other device on the market can. Interestingly, there has been a lot of noise...

I adore this thing, and urge anyone who plays games to go and have a play with one at a store. Even if you decide to wait for a price drop, a bigger library of games, or a hardware revision, playing the Vita is like a little glimpse of the future that's w...
Large and responsive OLED touch screen, Terrific graphics, Dual analog controls, Rear touchpanel control, Good game library at launch
Expensive, Proprietary memory not included, Nongaming functions and features draw mixed reviews, Battery life could be better, Transferring files is cumbersome
Abstract: Video Review: The PlayStation Vita has arrived, marking Sony's latest handheld console with cool features like an OLED multi-touch screen, Bluetooth and Wi-fi connectivity and more. So does the PS Vita fulfill its promise of being the most advanced por...
Abstract: While Sony has seen some success in the portable gaming market, it has always struggled to compete against Nintendo. With a solid fan base since the launch of the original Game Boy, Nintendo has always had a solid lead over Sony and their efforts in po...

The screen is a thing of beauty, Plenty of speed and power, 3G brings a better social gaming experience
High cost, Proprietary charge/sync connector, No onboard memory, Cameras are average
This is a true beast in all of the best senses of the word -- great hardware, spectacular screen, and an impressive library of games, but it also comes with a relatively high price tag....
