Today the PS Vita went on sale Japan. One also arrived at my house! And in this video, I fire it up for the first time.
The PS Vita, Sony’s successor to the PlayStation Portable, will launch in the in the US and Europe on February 22, 2012. In Australia, we’ll get the machine on February 23.
Be sure to check back for Kotaku‘s PS Vita review.

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 12:22 AMWTF? It’s the weekend and some brand new hardware is released, are you suggesting they simply ignore it?

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 1:21 AMIt beats having nothing new. Hell if there was nothing to complain about many people would be lost.

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 12:18 AMLooks pretty cool, but what’s with the swipe thing at the beginning? It seems kinda pointless (or as though Sony is screaming “hey look, it has a touch screen, impressed?”)

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 11:42 AMThat might have just been a first-boot thing, as a way to make sure the user realises that they’ll need to interact with it as a touch screen device during setup.

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 9:23 PMI would say that this was six minutes of my life that i’ll never get back, but I only watched the video for about ten secionds before realising how pointless and stupid it was.
Seriously. Fuck you Brian Ashcraft, you are a hack journalist and everything you post is garbage

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 5:18 AMOoo, make sure you suss out the remote play for the review.
I’d like to know if it supports all games, and if it can be used when you’re away from your home & if it can be used through 3G.

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 9:16 AMOh god, what a long-winded setup… I wonder if you can just use the dpad to scroll the menu, touchscreen controls for the sake of it are such a slow way of inputting data.

Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 4:18 PMYou chose English US and not UK? Have you gone mad!?!?
