Just Push Start: PlayStation Vita is the successor to Sony’s PlayStation Portable that debuted back in 2005. With the release of the Vita in Japan, a lot of people were impressed with the new features the handheld offers to gamers and fans alike to the PlayStation brand. With a super bright five inch OLED screen and dual analog sticks, the Vita is what the PlayStation Portable fans has been longing for. However, at the price of $249.99 for the WiFi only model and $299.99 for the 3G version, is it time for PSP owners to invest in the PlayStation Vita?
Carl Williams writes, "The Sony Playstation Vita is a marvelous hand held gaming device. I personally don’t own one, yet, but I have been fortunate enough to borrow some here and there from friends over the years. The PS Vita is also a bane for many independent developers that want to release games for it as it has not been opened up. Until now. The first release of a new crack that opens the Sony Playstation Vita to independent developers is finally here. Only took what, four or five years?"
VRFocus: Back in May of this year, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s (SCEE) Simon Benson hinted at the possibility that the PlayStation Vita may be part of the long-term plan for Project Morpheus. Since then, a member of Benson’s team at SCEE London Studios has gone one further, confirming that the handheld console is already being used internally.
Sony Computer Entertainment head Andrew House has admitted that the PS Vita's future is uncertain outside of Japan.
