Get in touch with your PlayStation Vita console

When it comes to handheld gaming devices, you might not be completely sold. After all, is it possible to get the same in-depth experience you get with your PlayStation 3? Can it give you the detail, storylines and action you love from your PlayStation 3 games? If you have a PlayStation Vita console, the answer to these questions is a resounding yes. The console offers easy, interactive gaming with the familiar controls you know and love from your other PlayStation consoles, plus a touch screen option for more interactive content. PlayStation Vita games offer clear graphics and crisp sound, even on such a tiny device. When you take home a PlayStation Vita, you take home a multimedia device that will keep you entertained for years to come.

The physical PlayStation Vita console looks like a sort of oval-shaped device with a screen and the middle and controls on either side. The device, like your PlayStation 3 DualShock controllers, contains two analog sticks as well as the familiar PlayStation control buttons. The controls sit on either side of the screen, and neatly fit into your hands just like your home gaming console controllers. In addition, the OLED console screen is also a touch screen, which means you can directly access content at the touch of a finger. Additionally, there is a touch pad situated on the back of device for even further control of your multimedia content and gaming. The device has a built-in gyroscope as well, which senses movement in several directions and can translate it to action on the screen. Thus, you can play several games by simply moving the console in the direction you want your character to go.

Like many other electronic media devices, the PlayStation Vita can do more than just the task it was created for. In addition to gaming, you can surf the web using the Vita's wireless connectivity and download all sorts of content, including full-length movies and music albums. The wireless connection also allows you to access and download additional game content, which is especially handy if you want to try out a new game on the road. The Vita also includes built-in GPS capability, so you don't have to wrestle with your TomTom or Garmin in heavy traffic. Just boot up your handheld gaming console, and you will be able to find any location you choose.

Part of the multimedia appeal of the PlayStation Vita console comes from the ease with which you can access new content, but it also depends on the ability to personalize your experience. You can upload pictures and other content from your computer, tablet or phone using the included Bluetooth connection. You can also chat with other gamers via a wireless headset when you access this option. The dual cameras, both in the front and the back of the device, allow you to chat face to face or simply snap shots of your current location. You can take your gaming console to the next family reunion and upload memories of the event while you conquer the next level of your favorite game.
