PSXE Poll Update: PlayStation Vita Wows The Sony Fans
See Full ImageThe PSP feels a little outdated, especially after seeing that PlayStation Vita presentation at E3 this year.
It was the clear focus of Sony's press conference and based on our latest poll, the "PSP2" went over quite well with viewers.
The majority actually say they'll snag the fancy new portable unit the instant it releases, and most of the rest say they'll get it eventually. While the world continues to advance and everything seems to be getting smaller, mobile gaming gets more popular with every passing day. And besides, when you have the power of a PlayStation 3 in your hands (just an estimate, of course), that's all the more reason to give next-gen handheld gaming a try. Those touch-pads are pretty interesting, too.
This week, after the debut of our PSXE Show in PlayStation Home, we want to know what you think. The only reason we do it is for the readers and fans, so if we need to fix it, we need to know. Also, bear in mind that we'll be asking you what you want in the future; i.e., what sort of content you'd like to see. Right now, we're just handling that ourselves but we want you to be involved as well.
Lastly, stay tuned for news of the second episode. Depending on how fast we can get the third show done, the second might be up by this Thursday...

You'd be crazy to store videos in 1080p on the Vita, though, when the actual screen is 1/4 that size. File's too big.

I mentioned the point about the chipset being 1080p capable because a lot of the mobile chipsets can playback in 1080p, but the displays can't handle it. That's hardly revolutionary information though, so I don't know. Perhaps they were compensating for the pointless downvotes elsewhere?

I hope it has netflix capability.
I guess I can't vote in this poll as there's no option for those who were unable to attend the first time. Feels weird, I've never missed a poll.

I believe you still go into the Community Theater in Home, and still see it until Sony makes up a new reel.
That reel goes in a continual loop right back to the start, so if you don't catch the PSXE show right away, just kick back in one of the comfy seats with some virtual popcorn and await the show.

You should watch it before Thursday if you don't want to sit through other videos, though.

Very few people have spare time, so short bursts of high quality gaming is becoming very popular, and that's where the Vita will thrive. Playing half hour bursts of MGS Peacewalker or God of War on my PSP was the freakin bomb, and in bed too!! Had FF VII, VIII and IX stored on a memory stick too for portable gaming goodness.
I traded my PSP several months ago at the first announcement of the NGP (now Vita). Thought it best to get my 100 bucks trade value while the PSP was still good.
With Uncharted, Littlebig Planet, Modnation Racers, Killzone, Resistance and Street Fighter X Tekken coming to the Vita, suddenly the 3DS and Ocarina of Time 3D doesn't seem worth the cash. Waiting for Super Mario, Mario Kart, Star Fox 64, Kid Icarus, price drop and bigger battery model of 3DS before worth purchasing. 2014 mid year sale might be my Nintendo splurge. :P
PSvita... 2012 birthday present. Mmmmm... birthday can't come fast enough now!!!

rang them again today since they were suppose to ring me on wednesday but surprise surprise dident.
they STILL havent had a look into it!
2 f*cking weeks and they have done jack sh*t!
last time i rang they said it would be sorted within 48 hours, not 2 f*cking weeks and counting!
cant f*cking believe this, its been going around in circles since f*cking january!
6 f*cking months (and counting) to sort 1 f*cking account out!
unbelieveable!
i think i do have to take this to court only way im going to get anywhere!
while im at it might as well file separate law suits over my infamous 2 hero edition, and PSN+ subscription too.
and they say M$ has poor customer support!
my god, not even lucifer himself could give such poor customer support!
then removing the video out feature was another poor decision, cant believe they did that!
as i said yesterday whats the point of having such a powerful system but restrict it to such a crappy screen?
might as well hire a crane to lift a leaf!
as for home, well wasted like 1GB downloading all the crap so i could visit the E3 space and watch the conference,to be greeted by a sexy black screen for 2 hours so im done with home for good!
got better things to waste my download usage on!

You know if your communication style here is any indication of your communication style with Sony, it's no wonder you have difficulties. I suspect they're sitting there shaking their heads wondering what the hack they've done to deserve you.

I just think Sony had seen all your negative posts aimed at them & they've decided to permanently put you on......."ignore".

When I had to get service on my ps3 they even lost my entire box somewhere in the system and I had to get the manager at the shop where I delivered the machine to call them - they refused to talk to me, insisted on the shop calling them. And then they told him that my machine simply was lost, no sign of it.
I got a new machine eventually, but not before waiting a *long* time, we talk about many, many weeks here.
So I bought a Slim in the meantime. :D

I am waiting on the Vita to see what it's like when it first comes out, if it's not for me then I wont buy it. Uncharted looks great on it though.

Why isn't "can't see it" an option in the poll? You got readers from the entire world, psxe! Not just the USA!

Anybody know if it will be able to support flash and watch youtube videos?
What about Apps? Does it do 1080p?
