Sony has unveiled their latest PS Vita model and the new addition to their hardware family, the PS Vita TV. I think i just heard Microsoft quaking in their boots.
Sony PS Vita
Features:
- The new model replaces the original’s OLED screen with a 5 inch LCD screen
- It is 1.5cm thick (20% thinner) and weighs 219 grams (15% lighter)
- Has a built-in 1GB memory
- Comes in a range of six colours
Sony PS Vita TV
Features:
- Inexpensive version of Sony’s latest PS Vita that plays games on your TV rather than the palm of your hand
- It has a card slot for playing your physical PS Vita games; but can also download PS Vita, PSOne classics, and PSP games from the PlayStation Store
- Can stream content from popular services such as Hulu or Netflix
- Will have a remote play function allowing you to stream PlayStation 4 games to another television (Ed: Yes!)
- Connects to your tv through HDMI and plays games in 720p and 1080i
Does this Sony announcement excite you? I am not much of a PS Vita fan (I still use my Nintendo DS and Sony PSP), but the PS Vita TV does get me quite excited!
