Subpar battery lifeLoading games and other programs is sluggish

Expensive
Proprietary memory not included
Nongaming functions and features draw mixed reviews
Battery life could be better
Transferring files is cumbersome
3G buy-in and usage adds cost

HD video stutters
Stilted web browsingLook and Feel...
The Vita uses proprietary media and connections across the board
And even requires the purchase of a separate memory card to play most games and use most apps
Which results in a hidden cost. Battery life could be better
And there's no way it can be rep

Storage should be cheaper

Memory cards and games aren't cheap
High cost
Proprietary charge/sync connector
No onboard memory
Cameras are average
No internal storage. Requires expensive proprietary memory sticks (even for some cartridge games!). Only one account per system allowed. Expensive games with no cheap options (yet)
Sony has got the hardware right. It looks good, it feels good, and it offers more input options than any other gaming device out there; handheld or otherwise. It’s definitely got a lot going for it that you won’t find on any other mobile device out the...
Beautiful 5in OLED screens; nice controls; great graphics; ability to connect to PS3.
No internal storage; expensive proprietary memory card; weak preinstalled software; short battery life.
The PlayStation Vita may be late to the portable game party, but it is a strong contender with solid hardware and a solid lineup of launch games. The Vita is also easily one of the most ad-vanced portable gaming system in recent memory with its gorgeo...
Abstract: First off, the thing is large. Larger than my Nintendo 3DS or a Sony PSP , that's for sure. Maybe it's because of the five-inch OLED screen. Or maybe the two analog sticks on either side of the big screen. Whatever the case, it's about the largest portabl...
Abstract: It's nice to get new toys every now and then. There's a ten-year-old kid somewhere in this old, forty-something body of mine, and that kid is always hoping to get some new-fangled gadget or toy he can play with. Well, today is that kid's lucky day!I just ...

Abstract: Playstation Vita was just announced this year and it exceeds the expectations of the most gamers. Why? because it has multitouch screen, a dual analog, a front and rear camera and a rear touchpad. Yeah, Playstation Vita has a lot of features. There will b...
Abstract: The PS Vita hasn't been a tremendous success. Despite its exceptional library of games and well-designed hardware, stiff competition from Nintendo, the rise of smartphone and tablet gaming, and the high cost of entry have stunted its growth. But Sony isn'...
Gráficos asombrosos, Dos sticks análogos para controlar la acción, La pantalla táctil trasera promete gran cantidad de novedades a nivel gameplay, La definición de pantalla y sus colores, Permite tener varias aplicaciones abiertas a la vez y cambiar rápid
No es retrocompatible con los juegos UMD, Juegos caros que no aprovechan las nuevas posibilidades, Es más cara que una Playstation 3 (en Argentina al menos), Obligación de comprar memory cards propietarias que son carísimas, No es cómoda para llevar en un
Está complicado el panorama para las portátiles actuales, en el momento en el que fueron lanzadas la DS y la PSP los celulares apenas podían mover unos píxeles grises en pantalla y por lo tanto no podían competir a nivel juegos. Hoy los smartphones y tab...
La consola es ligeramente mas grande que la PSP y mas ovalada, ademas es algo mas pesada, pero siendo sincero, no note estas diferencias hasta que puse las dos consolas lado a lado, las diferencias, ciertamente son perceptibles, pero a la vez son mínim...

La innovación de la superficie trasera táctil. La calidad de la pantalla. Dos palancas (joysticks) para un control más efectivo
La versión 3G todavía no está disponible. No es compatible con discos UMD del PSP. La sincronización con PS3 es fácil pero puede ser lenta si la red WiFi no está cerca. Las bocinas suenan muy bajo
Es una consola ideal para los gamers que suelen estar en movimiento y quieren traer un centro de entretenimiento portátil con ellos. Puedes descargar apps de redes sociales para estar en contacto con tus amigos a través de Twitter o Facebook....
