PSVita (Successor to PSP, was PSP2 then NGP)

Anything is better than the battery life on my launch model one... If this hits here under 70 quid I might be tempted to switch to it.

Sony havce said every Vita game will be available PSN though based on this gen only a fool would pay the prices they like to charge

Loving the look of that D-pad, nice and raised. Whats the PSP homebrew scene like these days? This could be a nice machine once hacked methinks . . . .

I imagine it'll need to be hacked again from scratch, regardless of what the scene's like these days. And since it's a Europe-only model, that'll reduce the number of people that care enough to do it.

Good points, also cant find any info based on memory card expansion too

Just found out a friend of mine is headed to Japan in Feb and knows a few places where she might be able to haggle the price down a bit from the ?200 asked for. That's me sorted

[SuperDanX]

Any official dimensions of it yet?The Vita comparisson pic seems to indicate it's possibly slightly smaller than the 3000

Bigger than the PSP 3000 slightly, I am disappoint.

The brightness adjust controls are gone. Hopefully the actual buttons are a bit more responsive.

[Flabio]

You can do the brightness on the 'start' screen anyway can't you?

[Neon Ignition]

Bit cheeky referring to it as the PSPMini then

[Flabio]

To be fair, it was me that called it the PSPMini, I don't think Sony have given it an official name other than PSP at the moment.

[Dogg Thang]

Is the main purpose of this just that it's cheaper then?

[Flabio]

Pretty much yeah. Not sure why they don't think it's worth putting out in the US or Japan though.

[toythatkills]

How can they remove stereo sound and wifi, and yet still end up with a bigger, heavier PSP? Absurd.

[Flabio]

Higher density silicon chips are physically smaller but more expensive? Maybe they're using cheaper bits here.
