I love the playstation vita system its fun and its like having a mini ps3 in my pocket on the go with me all the time. Alot of my friends own one and its always fun playing games either with them or against them and either way we always enjoy playing it.

On the go fun

Not alot of games

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

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.

Plenty of us have a stab at the odd game when we're on a long journey or whiling away a boring commute. Chances are we're playing the likes of Grand Theft Auto, Plants vs Zombies or even Angry Birds.
