Kotaku: PSVita Review

Wow, I did not know the PSV had sixaxis built in! :o Not that I'm a huge fan of it, I'm just making a bigger deal than I should :P. Anyway, looks pretty awesome. Feb. can't come soon enough :D. DethSkematik

It's a really impressive piece of hardware and so cheap for what it has. It will all come down to the games in the end though.

4 core, 512MB RAM, 3G+WiFi, OLED screen, but the most fascinating part is undisputedly bluetooth.

been wanting to see som proper reviews of the system. Thanks for posting. Definately want one of these, will probabaly buy a couple of months down the line after Europe release to go with my 3DS :)

Eventually i'll get it.

I think 'Vita' is a pretty s***ty name for it.

Hardware wise there was never any doubt. It's all about the games. Solid launch games it looks like it, they need to keep the momentum going.SaltyMeatballs

I agree, so long as they don't suddenly lower support like they did with the PSP, then the Vita should get a nice library of games

Wooo... another Vita circle jerk thread.Zeviander

Wooo... another Vita circle jerk thread.Zeviander

All those games and nothing interesting to play.

It looks great, Ill buy one when I can. Here in the UK though it is already getting a bad rep. Its hit mainstream news that the hardware is having issues.

They have also confirmed that it will launch in the uk with 33 games. Thats a good selection for launch imho

Wooo... another Vita circle jerk thread.Zeviander

Anyway, never been much interested in portable gaming but this does seem like a winner.. Hmmm ? :P

I think I'd rather buy an Ipad than a Vita. I'm not dissing the system, but the price makes it questionable for me. Sometimes I don't like looking at the amount of money I spend on games. To my my right, I can see a 360, wii, ps3, psp, ds, 3DS, and a few large stacks of games. Would I like to have the Vita? Sure, but I don't know if I really need one.

i swear to god sony are a s s h o l e s. why the hell didnt they relase this for NA also i want this for the holidays :evil:

I have no interest yet, you me it's just an expensive Sony product with no identity. When it get's a ton of great games, 6 months a year in and it starts showing what it's about, then i'll be interested. But Right now it's no more exciting to me than an iphone or ipod or something.

I love my PSP because it can double as a decent media device. How is that aspect on the Vita? Plus, I saw the Vita's spec mention it has a built-in GPS. Will that be for US-spec Vita's as well?

Buy this mid-cycle, people. There are no games at the moment, but the hardware looks sweet - would love to see homebrew software on it.

Sounds like a real quality peice of hardware.

I'm interested but I'd be even more interested if I didn't already have a PS3.

Not only that, it got same senors as Move which is more accurate :)

You really didnt know about that? i knew since annoucment, not to mention PSP Go had BT too

...How? :?

Peredith

-Bluetooth is supperior to WiFi for local area multiplayer, it's much easier to set up

-BT headset support (you can find vieos about it right now)

-PS3 controller support? (i know PSP Go had such function)

-Other wireless accesories support

Checked and not available in the US until Feb 2012 !!?? WTF, I may have bought one for myself for Christmas. :oops:

Oh well, that's what I like about MS being a US company, the gadget would no doubt launch here first but TBH, they'd likely do a worldwide launch. Eh, I think the Premium higher priced version of Next Box will launch with a unified handheld :shock: I'm in !! :P

Look at how the 360 and Wii launch went in early december when those were launched mass shortages and silly prices on eBay, its probably a better idea its a staggered launch for logistics and general things such as making sure theres enough to go round.

But again, I'm sure Sony has it's reasons and some may be what you pointed out. :P

Am very hyped for the Vita... but there are few games I want to play on it so far.

I think 'Vita' is a pretty s***ty name for it.

That is a good point, I don't know why Sony keep missing the boat with this. PS3 launched in the UK in March with a massive price tag, a seriously ballsy move. People couldn't even shift them on ebay, because that only works at Christmas when people really want one in time. And the Vita will cost north of £200. Again seriously ballsy.
