It doesn't just sound like the latin for "life", then?

It sounds like a branded drink. How something sounds and what it means can, sometimes, be entirely different...

If you want to be more pedantic Vita/life on a bottle of water = water of life. And water is life. Etc, etc.

I reckon I'll be in at launch.

Wipeout, Uncharted, Everybody's Golf are all things I'd like to play more of. The Jonathan Mak game has me intrigued, and a new Super Stardust too. Maybe Ruin?

Plus, having bought a PSP Go (don't start on me) all my PSP catalogue will port right over. And that catalogue's pretty extensive now.

Hopefully, this one will actually catch on, and they'll get some breadth in the software rapidly.

I'm curious whether they'll make anything where having the 3G model will feel like a genuine benefit. I can't see me plumping for it at the moment. Wi-Fi will do me in almost every environment where I actually game for any serious duration.

£230 is a decent price. I think I'll wait for the first price drop and until 3rd party support picks up.

Won't waiting for a price drop take a lot more time than just buying a US model for cheaper?

I thought the 3g wasn't for multiplayer at all, but more for the social side of everything and downloading minis.

i.e. Fairly pointless. Wifi will do me just fine.

Same here. Plus I can always tether my Vita to my phone if I'm out and about.

why? why touchscreen?

do videogame companies think we are all hyperactive sugar addled kids who get immense delight out of poking and touching things with our greasey fingers?

Some game types work loads better with a touch screen.

Sony haven't region locked a console since 1999. Chill out.

I don't mean the console - the games. Are we going to be stuck with a crappy, expensive UK store that has half the content of the US and Japanese stores and nothing we can do about it because you have to have a credit card registered in that country to buy stuff? I'll obviously be buying a US machine.

This is the best of both worlds.

Standard dual sticks and touch screens. What's the problem - from the videos everyone has made it clear that the touch controls on traditional games are optional.

very few game types work better with a touch screen then conventional controls. The iphone and DS has shown that. Touch screen is a gimmick i wish will die a horrible death.

If the number of games improved by the addition of a touchscreen is greater than one, then please explain how its inclusion isn't advantageous.

There's physical games, too. And nothing to stop you registering a US account over here.
