Lick this screen. C'mon, you know you want to. OLED is O so awesome.

I was one of the first Vita adopters when it first came out. Got two units with 2 x 32GB cards (one for my bro) and it was needless to say expensive (about US$410 each at the time for the bundle). Have to say despite the initial lack of software we love it (especially playing Unchartered and Capcom Vs Marvel). Am Read more

I have one major qualm with the Vita's hardware... the mandatory purchase of the memory card and the exorbitant price of said memory cards. Read more

"I use my smartphone, but [the Vita] makes me feel that 'games should be played on game machines."

Unity3d entered into a strategic partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment. If it was possible as a consumer to make and upload your own games on the vita. It would be a world of difference. Read more

Yeah I would say it's pretty darned niche, and I actually don't even like that word. Not to invalidate the game or anything (or the people who are fans), but I just can't see A very Japanese looking "Fairy Fencer" having that much mass appeal in NA. Read more

Oh, how shiny you are. If only the Vita was worth the price.

I love my Vita, but I don't want to marry it.. It works perfect for me since I work 4 jobs (3 as a personal trainer and 1 as a bartender). I'm always on the go rushing from here to there and everywhere. My game library is huge thanks to PSN and the 60 titles I have from PSP and PS-One alone. Wish the battery lasted Read more

This could rival Skylanders if they worked it right. At the minimum, given Nintendo's close Pokemon ties to Toys R Us in the US, maybe this could come to the States as a TRU exclusive, with the arcade machine sitting in the electronics department. Read more

The biggest problem that the Vita has is simply prices for games are too high. I don't mean for brand new Vita games, I know those are already cheaper in the US than Japan, I mean the PS1/PSP games or older Vita games. Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational is $36 on PSN, $20 in stores, and $18 for a download code on Read more

The Vita is an amazing piece of hardware but for me, I won't even bother if I can't get at least 10 hours out of it. 3DS has exact same problem. The only way to get good battery life out of them is by adding external battery packs or carrying around a rechargeable battery pack. Read more


Let's just face the facts... Sony made a serious mistake trying to take on Nintendo in the handheld market. If they want to sell a handheld, they should go for a different audience / function. Read more

I came into some money last week when the bank accidentally gave me too much in a loan. I decided, sensibly, to use this money wisely, and instead of paying some money off my loan, I booked a holiday to Italy and with the left over coin I could get myself a new console. I could have got a Wii U or a Vita, and the Vita Read more
