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

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: PS Vita (Photo: Raymond Wong/DVICE)As of today, the PS Vita is officially available in North America and Europe (not just for consumers who bought the First Edition 3G model). Backed with a $50 million advertising campaign — the largest for any PlaySt...
This operating system is pretty awesome, and that not just considering the fact that it’s sort of new, just having been debuted over the past few months here on the PS Vita. This operating system is smooth, makes a lot of sense, and has a big future i...
Abstract: If you're in a hurry, you simply need to know that the PlayStation Vita is a very good portable video game machine that excels in ways that Sony hasn't bothered to hype. If you've got time, well… let's start with a true story: I recently had the oppor...
Superb hardware, strong game titles and great gaming controls
Console, memory cards and games aren't cheap

Excellent hardware, Powerful
Games are expensive, Storage should be cheaper
Vita is undoubtedly a lovely, luxurious piece of hardware, likely to delight gamers and gadget lovers alike. It's a powerful, malleable, not particularly portable machine capable of games that can keep up with almost – almost – anything you can play on yo...
Console gaming in the palm of your hand, unrivaled handheld device specifications, backwards compatibility with PSP games, impressive 5in screen, variety of controls, no gimmicky 3D effects in sight, 3G version available
Poor internet, fiddly transfer of data, no multitasking, no removable battery
There are mixed views about the price of the PS Vita, but considering the performance on offer, it isn't too pricey. The WiFi only version can be picked up for £210, making it around £75 more expensive than the Nintendo 3DS.Our 3G capable review unit from...
Abstract: The time of handhelds is far from dead, especially if Nintendo and Sony have anything to say about it. Nintendo's 3DS served as a nice update to their standard DS model, and while some may have prefered for the 3D fad to stop, it still shows that people a...

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. ...
Abstract: When Sony started teasing the public with pictures of their PlayStaion Vita last year, I must admit, I had a healthy amount of skepticism. Sure, the system itself is extremely attractive, but it felt a bit like I was becoming reacquainted with an unfai...
