Sony’s new handheld console, the PS Vita, has finally been released in Australia, and can now be found in stores nation-wide. Assuming of course, you’re heading into a JB, EB Games or Dick Smith, and not anywhere else.
The PS Vita boasts a 5″ OLED screen, a quad core processor and dual analogue sticks to provide a more console-like experience on the go. It currently comes in two varieties – a WiFi only version for $348 and a 3G/WiFi version for $418. The launch line up both in retail stores and online includes titles such as:
- Army Corps of Hell
- Asphalt Injection
- Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend
- Dungeon Hunter: Alliance
- Dynasty Warriors Next
- FIFA Football
- Escape Plan
- F1 2011
- Hustle Kings
- Little Deviants
- Lumines: Electronic Symphony
- Michael Jackson: The Experience HD
- ModNation Racers: Road Trip
- MotorStorm RC
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
- Plants vs. Zombies
- Rayman Origins
- Reality Fighters
- Ridge Racer
- Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen
- Super Stardust Delta
- Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
- Top Darts
- Touch My Katamari
- Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
- Uncharted: Golden Abyss
- Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition
- Wipeout 2048
That’s a long list for a launch line-up, and we’ll be taking a look at some of these games, and the system itself, very soon. If you’ve got a Vita and have tried out some of the games, why not let us know what you think in the comments or forum?
Will post some impressions when I get home from this painfully long day at work……
Can’t beleive sony didn’t fix the account drama when updating. Will confuse a few people
Really tempting, but I’ll waiting a few months before I get one.
There aren’t any great launch deals or bundles out, will probably wait until the library is a bit stronger, and the price a bit lower.
Still kinda dissapoined it’s $348 here… or US$250 in the states… was originally going to pre-order… but I think I’ll wait till it’s closer to the american price now
I’m getting mine from the states whilst my sisters are over there. Costing me around $450 for the WiFi Console, a 4GB Memory Card, a 32GB Memory Card, a Case (the one that holds the console and 16 games), the headset, the cradle, Uncharted, FIFA, Lumines, and Rayman.
Sounds good to me
Loving mine! Been playing rayman, motorstorm and fifa. All great games. Rayman the standout as it just looks incredible.
Vita menus are very sleek and responsive. Exiting and swapping between games and apps is very responsive. I also have demos for wipeout and Unit 13. I will be buying both hah unit 13 handles great with twin sticks.
All this and i havnt even put uncharted in yet…….
Also a nice tip to those lucky enough to have this amazing peice of hardware. Start button and PS button takes screen shot. Very nifty!!
Any questions fire away
