The PSVITA is the successor to the psp and is great improvement on many aspects and in my opinion has been extremely underrated. Controls: For Controls we have a the standard Triangle,Circle,Cross and Square from the regular dual shock controller which are all fairly responsive and only slightly...

Great Potential; Great control scheme; Great games,Console quality graphics; Can link up to PS3/4

Lacking of games

I purchased my Vita approximately six months ago and I'm extremely happy with it! It's unfortunate that the Vita has largely been overlooked by the mass consumer market. Largely this is due to the popular belief that there are not many games available for the console. This couldn't be more wrong!

The PS Vita is a huge step up from its predecessor the PSP, for instance it features dual analogue controls which makes many games easier to control, also the added feature of a front and rear touch sensitive surface increases the creativity of control methods.

excellent hardware; multiple control features and large screen

limited number of top quality released games so far

Odd review, battery life mostly accepted as reasonable for what the device is (not a phone!) games not that expensive - download prices look reasonable and around £30 for the likes of fifa, wipout and uncharted not really comparible to angry birds!

Versatile controls and potential for range of games it offers

No built in memeory - just stupid

Brought this for my partner as he is the army and finds this is a great gadget to have with him Not many games they could improve on that he loved the gift for valentines day money well spent as he did want it but the price put him off a little .battery gives you a reminder before it runs out of

I played one of these in game today and it was amazing, the graphics are the same or maybe even better than my xbox 360, is incredible !!!

i love the vita. great console. but i have problem. *start and select buttons - hard to press cause they're so small. *dark spots. - i also have problem in the screen. when i play the vita in dark place and when the screen goes black,but still on, some darker spots become visible. it annoys me.

The Vita has awesome power to play amazing games. Really good for on the go. However at this stage needs more support from Sony and more games. These will come. But its a shame because the Vita is a powerhouse and has amazing gaming capabilities. It really provides more then a smartphone can do.

i've had a ps vita since launch and i love it dearly, but it would be nice if there was a price drop to about $300 or $250

Large and responsive OLED touch screen; Terrific graphics; Dual analog controls; Rear touch-panel control; Good game library at launch

Expensive; Proprietary memory not included; Nongaming functions and features draw mixed reviews; Battery life could be better; Transferring files is cumbersome
