PS VITA Review Part 3 - Gaming Hardware & User Interface

[MartiNDrum]

TOOOOUCH IIIIIIT! Awesome vid man!

[victor10986]

dude where is da place wher ya put the memory card

[TooMuchTMIH]

i really think sony dont get it no plastic plz

[E1SUNZ]

WOW your massive hands make the psvita look so small o.O

[LaRRy9797]

how a Battery is energy on what in full use

[LaRRy9797]

how many energy batery in very off

[ParanoiaGentlman]

i think the cpu is only by samsung and the oled screen is by Sony

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@ParanoiaGentlman Way around, I'm pretty sure Sony makes their CPUs themselves with the exception of the Cell Processors found in the Playstation 3, but even those were modified by them.

[MrCohibaboy]

i got mine yesterday , i think they fucked up with the buttons though, they should have put the select start and home at the bottom where its always been , and then they should have dropped down the joysticks a bit and then they could have made the d pad and other buttons bigger . the buttons are just way too fucking small , japan is only thinking of themselves because its not a big deal with their tiny ALIEN fingers , yes im from melb vic australia too . the buttons are too small for us

[senex250]

I would have liked to hear some technical informations, such as screen resolution, or data about the hardware inside.

[mike47912]

@senex250 Here you go Buddy ;

-4-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore

-512 MB RAM, 128 MB VRAM

-5-inch OLED multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, 32-bit color, 960 × 544 HD

-4-core SGX543MP4+

[DimensionWarcraft]

whats the battery life like?

[rickychannel1]

it look sooooooooo small in you hand.

[spardassin]

11:56 thats what HE said! lol

[TYFGF]

Boy:Mom I want UGA

Mom:What do you want???!

Boy: I want Uncharted Golden Abyss

[anthony246ful]

@TYFGF FAIL!!! top comment attempt.

[TYFGF]

UGA = Uncharted Golden Abyss

[ps3fan420]

I'm not a fan of the d-pad being connected, I prefer them to feel like separate buttons. If you are quick with cross, square, triangle, circle, why wouldn't you have the same skill with your left thumb?

[Saroku1000]

@MrToastOmnomnom the same problem would be with the playstation 4, just better graphics and not much more.

[JAYWALKERS3000]

ps vita, inspired by iphone?

lol,k  next thing your going to tell me is that the droid phone's are inspired by treadmills -_-

[SiIXEN037]

about the glare when used outdoors, why don't you just but a anti glare screen protector? there, problem fixed

[ECZKID]

Why must everything be compared to the iphone? -.-

[Blunty3000]

@ECZKID Because it's a an extremely widely know common point of reference... no fucking point using a point of comparison that ISN'T familiar to the most people possible...

That's why you'll commonly hear things compared to the "size of a tennis court" instead of "the size of a tlachtli ball court" becasue hardly anyone will have a fucking CLUE how big tlachtli ball court's were. DUH.. is that REALLY so hard to figure out? once more; COMMON POINT OF REFERENCE... DUUUH.

[playguu]

@Blunty3000 what's a tlachtli ball court?

[Simplemindedgenius]

@Blunty3000 No it isn't a common point of reference. The 3DS would be more appropriate seeing as it's a GAMES CONSOLE and not a FUCKING PHONE lol

[mjordannc23]

@ECZKID

you sir just got shit on.

[victor10986]

@ECZKID cuz iphon is bomb as good as ps vita but i think ps vita is better unnnhhhhhh

[MsSharpshooter2010]

so its a PS Iphone

[Slipknot666917]

finally someone who answers the questions I freakin been asking love this vid

[Slipknot666917]

wtf is a sim card is it the memory card or what

[RPST10]

The UI is a lot quicker now because of the updates

[blaqducebby]

whats the sim card for? is the psvita a phone too?

[SahGamerView]

@blaqducebby

for 3G internet connection.

[blaqducebby]

@SahGamerView thanks.

[waynelang20011]

@blaqducebby for 3G use

[THENEVPRODUCTIONS1]

you mess around a squeeze and pull your to easy its only little it will break to easy, THATS WHAT SHE SAID!

[THENEVPRODUCTIONS1]

your intro song reminds me a little of red dead redemption

[SHORTstopp99]

@devils6196 is asking for hate from Blunty, of COURSE you can download games from the PSN you dumbass.

[Thatomgninjadude]

UK has a good point, there is hardly any sun so know reflection :D

[HeIljumper]

inspired by the iphone...? you realize the psp has always had that metallic looking edge and it came out in 2004 (iphone in 2007)

[FrAuSkY125901]

@HeIljumper That was obviously sarcasm dude

[SiIXEN037]

@HeIljumper

hahahah, i think he realize that you are actually right, thats why he kept his mouth shut.... LOL

[BenBown]

Apparently it's really easy to accidentally put the power cable in the wrong way up because they forgot to design it properly.

[stretchandy]

Can you use the back touchpad to control the menu? or is it all with the front touch screen?

[xLngo]

I never understood why you would make a portable device which is practically unusable outside?

Isn't that the point of being able to play your game on the go? PT etcs?

Or are companies now aday more concerned about those people in the toilet....

[sspeet]

@xLngo your are right. Nowadays, the potable devices are just used to play in the bed or.. on the toilet.XD

[machstarfox]

@sspeet i play on the train as well as those things you said...

[dragonmasterpap]

@ShadowN1nja11 hahahaha

[billytamer]

you have uncharted too? you didnt show that in the first video =D

7:20 thats funny cause there is a commercial for this (for the remote play) where a dude was playing it outside and he seemed to be having fun

[GetPatriotized]

@billytamer just because you're outside doesn't mean it's sunny -_-

[billytamer]

@GetPatriotized except it is in the commercial. clear day

[pspmodder69]

2:43 when he put it in on right side a little led was twinkling :D

[bknp91c]

two thumbs up

[monst3r150]

Something that I was wondering about was in ur previous vids it had a leaflet about 100 hours online?? Does that mean after that u have to play for it!???

[Robbyzbot]

@monst3r150

I think thats if you use it on 3g.

[insomniaczack]

little big planet narrator voice?

[jedolley]

I don't think the silver/metallic-ish ring around the Vita is inspired by the iPhone 4. The PSP Go had something similar. IMO Sony just blended the looks for the PSP 3000 and the Go which is why the Vita has elements of both.

[JGunslinger16]

LOL... he said "niggle".... hahahhaa

[getsugandrew]

Can you use you tube on vita

[getsugandrew]

Is reality fighters pre downloaded onto the vita

[NeverEndingInc]

@getsugandrew no.



[juankrlox]

I wonder you showed up in part 1 and 2

[MrSoDiesel]

soo...on one of your videos you said, "i choked on the price a little bit of the memory cards". I was curious as to how much they were. and i wish i never found out. 100 dollars for a fucking 32gig? insane price...

[TheIrishViper]

Is the Touch Screen on the back a finger print magnet like the front screen ?

[SHUTUPNOOBZ]

you are awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HighJumpin87]

hows the battery life?

[MrSoDiesel]

@HighJumpin87 3-5 hours...depending on what you are doing.

[MCconsolegamer]

your the man, man! i love you ( videos )

[MapleBalls]

The mini usb port on the psp was for charging & moving movies, audio & backing up save games.

[WillieB383]

blunty are you going to sell your old psp? i preordered my vita also, but i still would want a old psp

[Djshrimper]

man, why would anyone want to squeeze it along?...oh..oh god! 0_0

thumbs up if you get it :)

[LenartKovac513]

can you put your phone sim card in it

[TheLbprincess]

OH BLOODY HELL, nice videos.

[Playdendo]

verizon is doing it in the uk

[jjaquu]

no one else heard the wibley wobbly doctor who reference?

[jubelbrixio]

when i was watching, i was like "don't fuckin do that, no don't!. oh fuhhhhhh! your like smashing the vita!!!!

[mo4415]

you love the game marvel vs capcom

[PokefIurry]

Vita's got a nice interface (really cute animations) but I really dislike the generic "Pages-of-app-icons" thing that everything going on right now. Some touch ups to the XMB would have been great.

[Nickoroni101]

Hey guys, I am like, a little over the average gamer and I need a vita memory stick. How many gigs do I need?

[ThePsychoticWombat]

@Nickoroni101 If you're going to buy stuff from psstore you will need at least an 8GB one, I would recommend a 16 GB though, however if you aren't going to buy from psstore you will do just fine with a 4 GB one

[ewannorth]

@Nickoroni101 if you are not downloading stuff the 8 gig but if you are going to get the 16 and if you want download all your games then you will need the 32 gig

[alaness31]

looks cool but not worth it

[cjcool91]

5:46 giggity...

[Makotoichio]

Can't see the screen outdoors? I'm glad I didn't waste my money on the limited 3G model.

[devils6196]

Hey blunty can you tell me . CAn you download games from psn ?

[technologyguy223]

@devils6196 yes you can

[pesanze]

That menu is everything but elegant

[KanzakiShionX3]

lol Deadman wonderland and Steins gate <3 2 awesome anime`s :)

[thebluescaptain]

MADE IN CHINAAA!!!!! :D

[TheAngelicDemise]

I'm not even planning to buy the Vita, I just like to listen to Blunty's voice.

[jcrinji]

Are L and R analog triggers or just digital buttons?

[epicbatll69]

@jcrinji they are actual buttons, similar to psp

[someomeproductions]

lol where i live the vita will cost about 500 bucks that is 5990 mexican pesos

[mellowcowism]

The screen is plastic? WTF!?

[JTBMX1]

turn up the brightness outdoors

[Blunty3000]

@JTBMX1 HURRDURR GEE I NEVARD THINKED OF THAT!!! .... get the fuck out of here you moron, of course I turned up the fucking brightness.

[scruffylittledog]

@Blunty3000 I'm subbed because of the way you reply to comments.lol

[ECCY101]

@Blunty3000 turn it down indoors as well or it could hurt your eyes

[niftyminecrafter]

@Blunty3000 lol :)

[sanukoriju]

@Blunty3000 You are Awsome

[mellowcowism]

@Blunty3000 I love your rantiness. :D

[almhim]

@Blunty3000 LOL

[AouAreAH8er]

My reaction at 1:08 NOOOOO NNNOOOOO please leave it alone! You're going to kill it! NOOOOOOOOOO!

[TheBrandonstokes09]

I know I'm lame, but I notice nearly every review I seen disliked how the apps and games don't start automatically after you tap them, I personally think it's a great idea because I dislike when you accidentally start up stuff and you have to wait for the whole thing to load up to close it, lol, so I think it's made like that just to reassure that's what you want to do, it's just a few more taps, I honestly don't understand why people complain!

[Blogkingdom]

You. Are. Amazing.

[CyberMcRock]

I've had a go at the Vita and jesus christ its amazing.

[ryry8380]

You people on youtube handle your devices like shit.

[JainerBIGBOSS]

this guy treat the ps vita like a 5 dollars toy

[fdsal0]

@JainerBIGBOSS its a stress test i guess

[XHeavensEclipse]

@JainerBIGBOSS so what

[JTBMX1]

@JainerBIGBOSS too true

[NotTheColourSilver]

@JainerBIGBOSS doesn't mean its as fragile as one

[MapleBalls]

@JainerBIGBOSS He is reviewing it. I'm glad he did.

[soberson08]

Haha I'm glad he tried twisting it for me :D

[KJohnStevens]

lol vodafone is uk as well

[f72836]

your making me not wanting to buy it

[ZackFair78]

the only thing that annoyed me about the vita,having to use the touchscreen for all of the main menu screens and some games

[AZZA280]

3g version just with the sim card thing or wi fi aswell

[WassupLasVegas]

not downing the vita, but i don't really see any major developers making good games for the vita. i don't see Call of Duty or Need for Speed being made for the vita.

[Blinxerizer]

@WassupLasVegas

The system has barely been out in the other half of the world, and it just coming out in the US. It's still early, so why would you expect a COD game already? Give it time and don't even assume that it wont be made (since we have 2 thumbsticks now). Besides there are 26 launch games for it...

[The4Dev]

@WassupLasVegas

Call of Duty is being developed for it, as is Killzone, Mortal Kombat etc.. Give it a year and all major game developers will have titles for the vita.

[KJohnStevens]

@WassupLasVegas this thing is really powerful. it has a quad core cpu.

[DaveSimonH]

It looks a really nice system. I was an early adopter of the original PSP, but this time I'm going to wait and see if the price plummets the same way the 3DS did.

[owais238]

1:41 did he just say sim card :s

[reclif]

Is this the 3G model?

[cheezo545]

i dont really think sony would have changed the XMB if there was a way to scroll it using touch screen LOL

[EeeScape]

@cheezo545

They need to update the XMB. It's good. But I like the app/button look better. 

[hromi]

interface is looking and working fine only, but web browser speed and capability is the biggest disappointment... overall impression is quite good... from HW side I just hate those Sony owned memory cards... just disgusting way of making money!

[erictingler]

How can you throw it around like that! every time I hear it hit, and scratch the table I felt A little light headed! 8/

[acinimitable]

Really they stole the multitasking card view from Apple (The last company to implement multitasking) If he said palm or android it would have been more factual and the metal band comment can be made about loads of products heck my olddddd 2001 walkman had one

[NZLoneSniper]

@acinimitable That would make sense seeing as how one of the main designers of the Vita also worked on the walkman.

[Jferrari427]

There will probably be a lower price but cheaper made version of this in a year or so.

[FloodofRainAD]

finally, i could see what the interface was all about. thank you!

are there any features in games or the interface that the sim card function would take advantage of or is it just a feature for game trophy updates and stuff?

[david1337sjoeburg]

hey, blunty!

can i use my psp account on a ps vita?

[darkkirby3]

how u hav psvita did it come out already?

[LazyGamerBoy54321]

@darkkirby3 No it comes out this month on the 22nd I believe.

[majkravos]

Its actually better than the PS3. :D

[OMGDUDE25]

LOL TOUCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11:55

[Majorasword64]

The fact that it has 3-5 hours and the screen can't be seen well on the Vita is rather a downside.I know the 3DS has rather poor battery but that was because of the 3D effect which could be turned off.

[Majorasword64]

I like how they are all squares,triangles,circles,and Xes.

[Jonezzee1911]

Weekend Confirmed musics!!!

[kabelfjernsyn]

cant they put in any feature without being a apple copy? -.- i mean most stuff has been atleast on 1 other device

[VideoGameMan125]

LOL wow why does sony put the speaker grills where your hand is gonna be? xD

[partyguy245]

I dont understand why people bitch about the price when they want a 500 dollar shitty ipad and some 250 worthless turtle beache's :p

[wiifanboy0]

3.5 mm jack?



[wiifanboy0]

does the psvita play the background music all the time?

[boredandbootleg]

@masos10 yeah you would still have to pay. Think of it as your cell phone even though you don't use it and you have a plan you still have to pay unless it is a pay as you go plan which I doubt they have for ps vita.

[MrAckerboy]

@boredandbootleg They confirmed that it is no contract

[boredandbootleg]

@MrAckerboy Thats not true, in America, ATandT already has a plan for it, In Japan Dokomo has a pre paid plan, and in Canada Rogers is developing a plan for it. Think about it, hwy would a cellphone company give you free service? If sony was the service provider, for sure it wouldn't be free, bu they are not the cell phone companies are.

[MrAckerboy]

@boredandbootleg I meant that it isnt a plan, but that its monthly so you dont have to pay by just not using it sorry

[cyberhero10]

If you could only get one, would you get this or the 3ds?

[Lvl71Turtle]

@cyberhero10 this definitely

[XkriskrossX]

I'm hoping that the build quality stays as it is or improves when sony rolls out the slim edition.. becuz just about every other "improved" playstation device used retrograded manufacturing with cheaper and lighter materials. PSP 1000 felt like it could stop a bullet and the 2000 felt like a 95 year old anorexic :D

[thepotterfan98]

do you need a memory stick in order to store photos , videos , media etc ???

[XkriskrossX]

@thepotterfan98 Yes but the biggest vita games max out at 2.5 Gigabytes but most average at less than 1.5 so its possible to carry 6-7 of your favorite Vita blockbuster titles while still carrying around your ripped DVDs, PSP/PSone/Mini games, and most of your favorite tunes and memorable photos without issue :)

[sw201444]

@thepotterfan98 you answered your own question dumbass

[yoddoify]

See how fast this is, it beats anything!

[COOKYgamerLALT]

@masos10 the 3G model has wifi too. So im sure if your 3G plan runs out you can you use your local wifi for internet. Almost kinda like some phones. Yes you have to pay. Hopefully they have where you just buy a years worth.

As for what you said about not touching the vita for a month im not sure. It probably goes on anyway when you aren't playing. Idk. Hope it doesnt.

I wiah you didnt have to pay. But if they have something like a year plan it'll be better.

[masos10]

SOME ONE PLEASE RESPOND! i need to know if with the 3g model you have to pay monthly no matter if your downloading something or not. like if you didnt even touch your vita for a whole month and you would still have to pay 14.99$ or something like that. also would you have to pay for playing multiplayer with the 3g plan. cause i want to buy the version that comes a week early but it only comes with the 3g model and not the wi-fi only. some one please respond

[MrAckerboy]

@masos10 The AT&T DataConnect Pass plans are month-to-month with no long term contract. All plans include complimentary AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot access in the United States.

There are two plan choices:

250MB for $14.99, 30-day recurring, which starts at the date and time of purchase, with the ability to opt out at any given month.

3GB for $30.00, 30-day recurring opt out, which starts at the date and time of purchase.

[Montarbaur]

Backfacing Camera :D xD

[nathanuc1988]

iPhone inspired metallic band around the edge? PSP-1000 had a similar design back in 2004.

[llRoBoBinHoll]

Nice vid by the way!

[llRoBoBinHoll]

Wow you got huge hands lol :D

[abadeam]

where's vita made ? is it made on china or what ? cuz the 1 u have on the vido from back type in second 0:12 there's word >>Made In CHINA !!

[TRASHRAVEN]

thank you im planning to buy this. hopefully it does well in the u.s.a. thanks again!
