PlayStation®Vita transforms the way you experience your favorites titles. Through technologies like the front multitouch screen and the rear multitouch pad, motion-sensors, and augmented reality, PS Vita brings the biggest and best games to life in a whole new way. Coupled with the rich graphics and new social gaming features play your favorite adventures with an all-new spin.

The latest product design coupled with quintessential PlayStation® features all come together in this flash forward device. Built around a brilliant 5-inch display, every curve was designed for the best grip in mobile gaming. And the unit is ultra-slim and easy-to-carry for a deep & rich level of gaming.


The PSP's successor, the PlayStation Vita (formerly codenamed NGP) is going to give the holidays a bang with dual analog sticks, a 5-inch OLED touch-screen, a rear touch pad, a front camera and a rear camera, and most of the same buttons the PSP used - the directional buttons, the L and R shoulder buttons, the four action buttons, the PS logo button the power button, and the SELECT and START buttons. The volume controls will be somewhere else. This new console will also feature an ARM Cortex-A9 core, which is a four core processor.

One thing that Sony has kept quiet about was the battery specs - how long would this battery last? As you experience an augmented reality, will the battery have as much life as your visual experience? But we do know that the battery can't be removed, which means two things. The battery doesn't fall out when the system is dropped, and the door isn't eventually going to break. The downside is that the infamous Pandora Battery can't be used if some IPL and pre-IPL exploits are eventually discovered, unless the console can be opened to obtain the battery.

Sony has decided to use a new game medium for the PS Vita. Games that are purchased are received on a flash memory card. Downloaded game content, save-data, and the game will be stored. A separate slot on the PS Vita will house additional memory, but the format is still in the dark.

Prices are $249 for the regular model, and $299 for the 3G model. If you'd like to purchase the 3G model, they'll be available at an AT&T store. AT&T will only provide the 3G internet coverage, but you can't use it as a phone. However, it should probably have Skype installed like the PSP Slim models. Sony promises an international release around the holiday season late this year and around the start of 2012!

PlayStation Vita (previously NGP) FAQs


Think that this amazing console's name is a bad one? Some people think so.

EDIT: Space bar and period/greater than key broken.
