Introduction

Sony PlayStation Vita Reviews, one realizes that this device comes with a powerful punch that has great power packed into its otherwise small demeanour. Its 5 inches touch screen with 3G, Wi Fi capacity and quad core processor, dual camera backtrack pad and multiple motion sensors make this an ‘owner’s pride’ (& neighbours; envy ...of course!). Sony PlayStation Vita Features might suggest that like the older predecessor, it might have similar looks, however coming with additional analogue sticks make its presence unique, (also by the fact that it becomes difficult to be put into the pocket). Considering the fact that it has the 960 x 544 OLED display make the games look glamorously appealing in this device.

Design

Further analysis of Sony PlayStation Vita Features suggests that it comes with many different kind of interface options like the touch screens, and buttons. This at times can get a little confusing initially; considering the fact that everything might seem a little too overwhelming for the users. However when one gets hold of the interface and its functionality the device simply rocks! Certain other Sony PlayStation Vita Features like the ability to track and spot other Vita users is simply commendable! An additional feature in this is that the PS3 owners can easily switch between PS3 and Vita with the same game, and the interface is so responsive that it responds immediately without any time lags. Also multiplayer online gaming is highly integrated with the Play station Network that simply augments the whole experience of game playing.  Sony Play Station Vita Price in India is Rs 20,000 for Wi Fi and Rs 25,000 for Wi Fi and 3G capacity Vitas.

FinalVerdict

Verdict Though highly expensive, but coming from Sony, the PlayStation Vita offers a completely different experience amongst the gaming consoles that are handheld. Again as gaming console it definitely has great potential, but at the hefty price tag that accompanies it, better all round performance would have hiked the utility all the more!
