The Vita is Beautiful. The Vita's Case is Not

The PlayStation Vita is a lovely-looking machine. Its case looks like something my eye doctor would give away to keep my eyeglasses in. Which means it looks durable and not-so-pretty. Take a look yourself in this image that popped up on the PlayStation Blog as part of the promotion for the week-early $299 Vita bundles that will be available in North America on February 15.

Those bundles include this case. For the record, I always used the soft case that shipped with the original PSP to house that system. It was like a mitten for that thing. I loved it.
