PLAYSTATION VITA (Rs.24,990)
The PlayStation Vita claims to be the most advanced portable gaming system ever made, with amazing visuals on its 5-inch OLED touch screen that almost look as good as the PS3 graphics. The Vita’s operating system is smartly designed, easy to use and ultra-responsive too. The unit feels great to hold and has excellent standby battery life, a plus point for hardcore gamers. Of course, there are also some drawbacks to this exciting gaming experience. For instance, it requires the purchase of a separate memory card to play a number of games and to use most apps, resulting in an added cost. The battery cannot be changed and, God forbid, if something happens to it, you’ll need more than luck on your side. It doesn’t have video output so you cannot really sit back and enjoy a big screen gaming experience. Then again, it is meant for a fun, portable gaming experience. It’s also unclear how much storage the Vita has on board. What we do know is that it will cost you more money for bigger capacity Vita memory cards. While the price is deceiving because of several hidden costs, gamers are getting an impressively complete package right out of the gate! While the Wi-Fi + 3G model is more expensive (Rs.24,990), the Wi-Fionly model comes at a cheaper price of Rs.19,990.
