LOL I can see my original point has completely gone the way of the dodo already. It's best to just let it keep flying.

Oh Oh Blzer, from your post, your mother or father taping you on the shoulder telling you to go to bed correct? LOL!

Again, so far from my original point.

Don't know why I thought LittleBigPlanet would be a launch title. At least that eases up on my wallet, maybe long enough to make it a summer birthday gift.

The most technical and comprehensive review I've seen. Great read.

In-depth technical analysis of Sony's latest, greatest handheld.

We'll be taking Vita to task on a range of aspects across a substantial review, covering off the following topics:

• PlayStation Vita: The Design
• Screen Quality, Performance and Battery Life
• Games Analysis: A True Next-Gen Experience?
• Investigating Vita's OS and Apps, Media Playback and the Browser
• Backwards Compatibility, PSN Account Switching and the Digital Foundry Verdict

Thanks Flawless, this review breakdown was very well done and we know how much Eurogamer is not a fan of Sony products. Also the PSP emulation sounds very impressive. As much as I keep thinking this is expensive, it's a day 1 purchase for me.

PlayStation Vita: The Digital Foundry Verdict

With all its features and control methods, PlayStation Vita is the complete package. In hindsight, additions such as the multi-touch screen controls and a second analogue stick may well have been exactly what the PSP needed to stand out from the crowd, and it's a pleasure to see these ideas finally realised all together on a single handheld platform. From a raw processing standpoint, the hardware is capable of delivering on a graphical standard that lies somewhere between the PS2 and PS3 (although much closer to the latter), while being able to multi-task effortlessly with a range of social apps.

Whether or not the current naysayings surrounding the Vita's mass commercial appeal have any merit, it can still stand proud as an enthusiast gamer's dream handheld. By combining a familiar console button layout with a large capacitive touchscreen, it offers something that simply doesn't exist anywhere else on the market and even just from the launch titles we have an impressive range of decent quality games, and the kind of heavyweight first-party backing that was lacking from the 3DS launch.

But let's bring this back to the original question: is it worth the money? If you're buying the Vita as a flexible multimedia device with the added perk of web browsing functionality, then you'll likely be just as well served by the many tablets and smartphones available today. The media apps and web browser are lacking in their current form, but are constantly subject to change through firmware updates so we would hope that Sony improves them over time as it did with the PSP. If it's a pure gaming machine you're after, however, and if you subscribe to Sony's vision of taking the home console experience on the go, PlayStation Vita is precisely catered towards your needs.

I get money from grandparents; I meant it as a gift to myself.

Seriously, these posts have derailed into unrealistic personal matters for the worst. And IMO, Rayman has nothing on LBP.

For as much as you hate people trash talking your affinity for swapping electronic equipment on a dime, you sure don't have a problem taking pot shots at other people.

Cut It out.

Mortal Kombat Vita due this Spring

A Vita version of the recent Mortal Kombat reboot launches this Spring, publisher Warner Bros. Interactive has announced.

As with last year's game, NetherRealm is developing, with the studio planning exclusive new content specifically designed with portable gaming in mind.

What? You want to know exactly what these new features are? Sorry, Warner is keeping them under wraps for now.

"The NetherRealm team is committed to making sure that we follow up the success of 2011's Mortal Kombat with an equally compelling experience on the PlayStation Vita," commented series creator Ed Boon.

"The original game content and new features we developed for the PlayStation Vita will provide gamers with the best fighting game experience available on the new mobile platform."

Imo, Wipeout 2048 should come bundled with the Vita. That's just me though.

Crap, that video just reminded me that I'm going to want music on my Vita.

Goodbye iPod Nano, hello 32 GB memory card.
