New information about PS4 and PS Vita

Hey guys and gals at Sony Japan’s pre-TGS press conference there was a vast array of information regarding next gen consoles and the PS Vita. 
First off the Vita is now designed for "a more casual and easier to use model” it's also thinner, lighter and  comes in different colors. It’s  not only 20 percent thinner and 15 percent lighter than the standard Vita model but the main thing is that its more “affordable,” packing a 5” LCD (liquid-crystal display) display instead of an OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen. Battery life has been increased by an hour which added to the generous battery life it already has is just amazing. Sony as also announced a 64 GB memory card for the Vita however this so far is exclusively for Japan 


The biggest shock was unveiling of an all-new piece of Vita-related hardware. It’s called PS Vita TV, and it lets you play Vita games on your television. Now that's freaking awesome!
The idea of PS Vita TV is to let you play Vita games on your TV using a DualShock 3 controller.However PS Vita TV has a card slot for Vita games, and accepts Vita memory cards, so it will let you use video streaming services. It will even let you play your PlayStation 4 via Remote Play with DualShock 4. Sony are really pushing for the Vita to be the ultimate go to device when it comes to mobile gaming so if your a Vita owner 2013/14 will be a very good year for you and with rumors of a PS3/4 Vita bundle Sony could be racking in the cash.   





In other news the PlayStation 4 will launch in Japan on February 22, 2014, and will cost 39,980 Yen or $401 on its own with a DualShock 4 controller, or for 43,980 Yen $441 with the PlayStation 4’s camera. A special “First Limited Pack” will also be available, which will come with a download code for Knack and a one year guarantee on the hardware itself.  This year and next looks like a very expensive year for gamers and hardware enthusiasts.
