Early word has it that the powerful handheld will not launch in the West until 1st quarter 2012. *sniff* Insert crying here...
I purchased a 32gb Apple iPod Touch for $319.99 before taxes and I got every penny of usage out of it. The Vita is designed the same way. It will browse the internet, read PDF files, watch movies, listen to music, have an Android app store, social networking features, two 5 mega-pixel cameras and brand new ways to interact with your gaming experience. Starting at $249.99 for a Wi-Fi only model, this is an awesome value. Also included is the Vita's 5-inch OLED touch screen allowing users to watch beautiful video content and read books with more clarity, providing a tablet like experience. Except of course, more portable. :)
Again back to the portability. The handheld is the same size as a PSP-3000. They are portable my friends, more than you think so. Yes, even more portable than an iPad or rival tablet.
This is a console my friends. It does more than a PlayStation 3 or X-Box 360 and is nearly as powerful. Some users won't need to purchase a gaming box to have a "console like experience", the Vita does it for you and you will have it with you 24/7. That is what Sony is providing gamers, a console in your pocket.
The delay of the launch sucks. I give you that. However, extra development time for Uncharted and other launch titles will benefit. It will launch in Japan this holiday season and it will provide Sony with much needed feedback for western launches.
I can't wait to get my hands on one.
