Sony PS Vita Review

The PlayStation Vita is the worlds most advanced portable gaming system. It is actually a genuine mix of style and features packed into a sleek & portable form.

With portable gaming is going the smartphone side, it was not a very good move from Sony to release a new dedicated handheld like the Sony PS Vita.

The PS Vita sports a high grade feel with its fit and finish. The main attraction is the huge 5-inch OLED display, delivering the best visuals possible rivaling the iPhone 4S’ retina display. The screen is crisp,  vibrant by producing millions of accurately rendered colors.

The PS Vita is offering the most versatile features never before seen on any handheld Gaming device before, like a 5-inch Super AMOLED Plus Touchscreen display, front and rear cameras, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, Trackpad at the backside, Dual Analog and many others.

The PS Vita comes in two models – a Wi-Fi model and a 3G + Wi-Fi model. The 3G model’s purpose is to deliver constant connectivity to the PSN, multiplayer gaming, social functions and the mobile browser.

The Sony’s promise of giving a console-quality experience on the go is well kept by providing PS3 titles and also offering small games in the form of downloadables.

It may be the most powerful handheld console in the world but with the market for portable gaming going in favor of smartphones and tablets with the upcoming Quad core processors, its only upto Gamers to decide.

Sony PS Vita Wi-Fi Price in India – Rs. 13,500 /- (Approx)

Sony PS Vita 3G + Wi-Fi Price in India – Rs. 17,000 /- (Approx)
