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.

- 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)

- 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

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!
