A real bomb, the potential is there.

Here finally the new Sony console whose code name was NPG but whose official name is now the PS VITA.
This console is available in two models, a compatible WiFi model and a model compatible 3G connection costs being borne by the player is the WiFi version I chose because I would serve me via my freebox access .
First observation, she would like good in the hand and especially the console is very light, there are two analog sticks, one on each side, to the left there is also a directional pad above the stick and the right side 4 found Sony buttons, which are against a little small, especially for me who has the great fingers. We find the sears on the top, a button for brightness, one for sound.
The display on the front (touch) is incredibly bright is accurate, there really is sacred divide with the PSP or 3DS! The rear of the console has a "grainy" area that is a touchpad, games ... can use this new feature will require that developers be imaginative!

The games are in the form of memory card, be careful because the door to insert is not really damn good, and she seems quite fragile ... Attention! Some games require obligatorily a memory card (in various sizes and sold separately) in order to boot! It is an accessory that will quickly get you!
In terms of autonomy, with the brightness to a level of 3 to 4 and wifi lit it takes approximately 4:30. By disabling you can scrounge 15/20 minutes more. It sounds can be quite low, but it's more than the 3DS yet has smaller screens and above the console has a mode automatic standby when you stop playing and put the console in standby it saves battery .
As for the games in the first parts eyeful, and it's hard to realize that we play on a portable console, not on a PS3 salon! After party you will also see that you will unlock trophies! Indeed the interface of PS3 trophies is repeated here and Vita games also succumb to this fashion trophies, you can connect your PS Vita to your PS3 and synchronize all the trophies. By cons if you have multiple accounts on your bad news PS3, vita can handle one account per memory card, it will be necessary to buy a card player ...

For the console operating system, forget all your pins PS3 and PSP because the interface have nothing to do, we forget the xmb and here you have a touch-based interface, you must find its brands because at the beginning it is quite confusing, but after a while, you realize that this interface is very intuitive!

This console is thus a real little bomb, it's graphically stunning, the sound level is faultless (good quality headset strongly recommended anyway) and now ... the ball is in the side of developers studios, that console is an open door to the future, I think we will impress in a few months when the games developed actually take account of the potential of the machine!

My game tips: Uncharted: Golden Abyss (PS Vita) and Everybody's Golf (PS Vita)! You can purchase the eyes closed! The only downside from my perspective is the size of the console, in fact it is still more than a portable handheld console.

Remember also get quickly a screen protector to protect your console.

Update: Watch the sector charging cable is not foolproof, ie you can put it into the socket in either direction, we must pay attention to what the small symbol PS is facing forward, if not Console does not charge and worse it will restart a few minutes before! What a pity he was not planning to do to plug the cable in the right direction ...

Update 2: Warning possessor of Freebox Revolution, VITA raises a problem of compatibility with the WiFi 802.11n (the most recent and powerful) used by the Freebox, the vita can not connect to the wifi and it is unable to download demos or games. Pending a Sony solution here is a temporary solution:
1. Log in to your Freebox Management Interface (mafreebox.freebox.fr)
2. Go to the WiFi> Configuration
3. Go under the section '802.11n mode, choose the mode' Off 'and confirm.
You will suddenly switch to a mode wifi slightly less efficient but at least you can use the wifi.
