Inside, the device runs very fast thanks to its quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor, 512MB of RAM, 128 VRAM, and a five-inch 16 million color OLED screen. With all these great features, it’s no wonder this on-the-go video game is getting so much excitement, but what are the positives and negatives of owning this portable gaming machine?
Pros
Video chat: Users who play or want to socialize can download applications to access: Facebook, Skype, Twitter and Foursquare.
Free region: The PS Vita has no region restrictions, so users can download and play games from any region in the world. This expands your ability to not be limited when it comes to having games to play on your devices.
Impressive user interface: Although the OLED display gets high marks for its impressive display, the same can be said for the user interface. It is very easy to use with a responsive design, beautiful icons, and touch controls.
Remote Playback: This is a function that allows remote use between PS 3 and PS Vita. Users can stream digital games between their PSP devices, but not all games are supported.
Best Dual Analog Controls: Analog sticks have been described as unique to a portable handheld. They are beneficial for controlling the game and player action in games and allow the development of future games geared towards this type of game controller. Unfortunately, the analog sticks and buttons don’t operate anything on the touchscreen.
Complete games available for download: On the day of the laptop’s launch, there will be 25 games available on launch day and more than 100 in development. Game prices will range from $ 9.99 to $ 49.99 from the PSN and other retail outlets that sell Sony video games.
Cons
Portability: Users should consider purchasing a case for their handheld. The screen of the PS Vita could be scratched, the device is a magnet for dust and fingerprints, and due to the size to accommodate the screen, the PS Vita is too large to be carried in the jacket or back pocket of the pants. Be prepared to carry it in your backpack or large bag.
Battery duration: Sony claims that it expects battery life when playing games between five and six hours with Wi-Fi enabled. However, the battery life has been reported to be around three to four hours. The device will last approximately five hours during video playback and nine hours during music playback in standby mode.
PS Vita memory cards: Instead of UMD discs as in previous PSP devices, the games will be distributed on PS Vita memory cards owned by Sony. Also, the memory card must be installed in the device for the music, camera and video player applications to work and also for some of the games to work. Users can also store saved games, PSN downloads, and personal media on the cards.
Users can only use one PSN account: If players use the same memory card, but have different PSN accounts, a factory reset must be performed to switch between multiple accounts. However, this issue seems to affect users who purchase games from multiple regions and at the same time affect the device’s free region capacity when it comes to downloadable games.
PSP game discs not transferable to PS Vita: Some gamers were hoping that Sony would at least offer a UMD reader so that older disc-based PSP games could be played on the PS Vita. Unfortunately, players in the United States will only be able to play PSP games purchased and downloaded from PSN and not from a previously owned game disc.
Hardcore gamers are excited about the new PS Vita and eagerly awaiting it. Sony, by offering quality gaming handhelds, has really gone out of its way to please users. The video game in this care is designed to impress with the onboard features. Sony has set the bar very high in direct competition with the Nintendo 3DS and most gaming enthusiasts believe that Sony has hit the mark on the future of video games on the go.
