Vita Hands-on!

The folks at BGR just got their hands on Sony’s brand new PlayStation Vita — its next-generation portable gaming console. Games were crystal clear in HD and the device was light, but large enough to feel like a great immersive gaming experience. It’s probably a bit too big for most pockets, but it will be perfect in a backpack. Also, you’ll probably note the fingerprints in some images — the device is definitely a grease magnet.

The controls all felt snappy and they didn’t depart too much from the previous-generation PSP, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, the demo units they played with were locked in game-only mode, which meant they couldn’t back out to check out the other pre-installed applications, the default user interface, or the web browser.

The Vita will land for $249.99 but there will also be a 3G version available from AT&T for $50 more. Unfortunate isn't it? Seems like all the new handheld consoles are really expensive. The 3DS was expensive, and now Vita follows. Guess I probably won't get them with their current pricetag. Though I can't deny that they're looking great!
