Review on Sony PS Vita WiFi by Hoo Chong ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

The device is clearly an amateur. Personally, it satisfies me and even pleases me for the confluence of several obligatory reasons: 1) Enough conscience and funds to pay for the work done by my respected company Sony (otherwise - flash the PSP) + 2) They don’t let me play at all either at home or at work, they remain only different nooks and crannies like an electric train and a toilet, you can't even drag a laptop there :) + 3) Well, you just have to love electronic games. And for communication and casual games, there are a lot of more suitable devices. From fighting games I chose MK, so as not to stand out among the 2022s :)

Pros
  • 1. Games - a lot! The official list as of November 2022 has over 400 of them, which is quite comparable to 1800 on Steam. There are titles, and exclusives, and quite playable PS1-PS2-PSP collections. Yes, there are not enough "smart" ones - strategies, quests, RPGs (not to be confused with jRPGs - there are plenty of them). However, I doubt very much that the critics of this item go through at least 1 game a month, and if you have enough time for this, then why take a portable ?! play something bigger. The same applies to complaints about secondary functions - a browser, a video player, etc. If they exist - that's fine. 2. Sony quality. What should work, works smoothly. Here I combine many things: buttons, sensors, menus, graphics and much more, together form a gadget that is pleasant to hold, look at and press everything just like that, for the love of art. 3. The 4-core processor, along with other bells and whistles, is more powerful than many current (and future) gadgets of a similar size / class. For a reasonable price of 12 thousand: 8500r Vita + 3000r 32GB card (because it is pointless to take less, calculate the price for 1GB and the size of each game is 0.5 . 4GB) + 270r monthly PSN subscription (otherwise there will be nothing to play) . No brakes are observed, except for the actual launch of games. If Vita is used for its intended purpose, then it will fall apart rather than become morally obsolete or bored.
Cons
  • Flaws 1. Price of games. 2-3-10 times more expensive than the same games on Steam. Any demos and even a PS + subscription are surrogates. There will be no adjustments for 2022 poverty, prepare your wallet. 2. Everything is tightly tied to everything - games to the account, a memory card to the console . A failure in one link - the investments burned out completely. And get your wallet ready again. 3. Extremely crooked system of interaction between Sony and the client. Instructions on one portal, registration in the PS Network on the other, purchases in the PS Store on the third. They constantly put something marketing under their noses, despite the fact that the interface is sorely lacking elementary settings, screenshots, relevant links, intelligible descriptions of games, etc. 4. The above problems make PS Vita a toy for adults, or for very loving / advanced parents. Unlike the same PSP, which could be given to a Kinder and forget about both of them :)
