Playstation Vita Review

   With the huge success of PlayStation Portable selling over 71.4 million units worldwide, Sony is all set to release the next version of the PSP called as the PS Vita. The gaming console packs a quad-core graphics processor, which is even impressive than the iPad 2. It looks quite similar to the PSP, however without any doubt the Vita is more impressive and elegantly designed. It sports a 5-inch OLED multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, 24-bit color with a resolution of 960 × 540 qHD and has pixel density of 220 ppi.

    The Playstation Vita is silmilar to it’s predecessor in design, size and although quite a bit heavier than the PSP 3000, it is lighter than the PSP 1000. The Playstation Vita sports a slightly larger screen, with it’s beautiful 5-inch OLED screen. The screen displays very bright and beautiful images, but suffers from the same fundamental problem as the PSP screen did, it has trouble keeping glare out even with the brightness turned all the way up, the device is very difficult to play outside. The Playstation Vita is jammed with technology though, sporting the four face buttons (notably smaller than the PS3 controllers and PSP face buttons), two shoulder buttons, a “Playstation Home” button that will pause the current application and allow you to access other applications, two thumbsticks which are significantly smaller than on a PS3 controller or the PSP but are raised and feel like thumbsticks. On top of that the system has a front multi-touch screen, rear touch panel, front and rear facing camera as well as built in six-axis control (Yes it works significantly better then the six-axis controller).

    First thing you will notice when booting up the Playstation Vita is that Sony did away with the XMB in favor for floating circles that represent the apps that you have on your system. Whether it be apps pre-installed, apps from the PS Store or games that have installed onto your system, everything can be accessed from this screen. When you first put in a game cartridge the game will install a very small file onto the system, which will act as you’re game launcher. From there it will bring you to a launch screen, dedicating memory and such to the game, but the system hasn’t started the game yet. From this launch screen you can update the game or browse the internet for more information about the game as well as being able to access the in-game manual. The multi-tasking is handled surprisingly well, the vita can have up to six different applications open at the same time that you can switch through with ease. When finished with the application you simply swipe from the top right to the bottom left and peel away the application and poof it’s gone. It’s a visually pleasing effect and closes almost instantly making a very fluid experience.

    Let’s get this one out of the way. The battery life is awful, but considering the specs of the device it’s impressive they can get as long as they do. The system will get about 5 hours of play time per charge, with about the same time running network features but i’m guessing significantly less if network features aren’t disabled throughout the game. Luckily you have a few different options to charge, the system charged via USB cord. There’s a wall adaptor included but you can also charge from your computer and PS3. The Vita has some compatibility with the Playstation 3 at the moment but it’s limited to backing up the items on my vita and restoring from previous backups.
