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: Out of the box the Vita is classically gorgeous, and I mean classically in a voluptuous sense; the Vita feels huge in the hand, and for a mobile device that's meant to fit in your travelling pants, well, it must be time to get some more accommodating p...
Great quality games; Touchscreen and touchpad introduce unique ways of playing games;
Proprietary memory that's required and not included; PSP and Vita games are very expensive on the digital store; Mediocre battery life;
While Sony has loaded some truly great technology in the Vita, it's clear that the console isn't perfect.We reviewed on the WiFi version which matched our needs perfectly. We're not really sure why the 3G console would ever be needed, and shudder to think...
The PlayStation Vita is the most powerful portable gaming device on the market that's backed up by an excellent range of games that will only get better.Dedicated gamers will give the Vita some serious consideration if they haven't already rushed out to b...
