What customers say about "Screen"
Sony PlayStation Vita Handheld Game Console
  • The touch screen is super responsive.
  • The screen is amazing - large and clear.
  • The touch screen and "back touch screen" plays a great role on some games.
  • The new model has an LCD screen, still sharp picture but maybe a little less contrast, but much improved battery life.

What customers say about "Multimedia"
Sony PlayStation Vita Handheld Game Console
  • Good for trips or travelling! Plus there is a lot of master piece games you can download or purchase through PSN.
  • It has excellent graphics, but also it has an excellent camera so we used it to take photos.
  • Also it has wi-fi so we used it while overseas to get onto the internet- so very useful for our trip when I did not want to be bringing my laptop!
  • Some of games on psn don't even have descriptions & or pictures to explain the games purpose.
  • The system it self is also disappointing , with certain features missing like battery percentage, skipping music with L& R.
Sony PlayStation Vita Slim Handheld Game Console
  • The product works well, and I'm glad my bluetooth headphones work well with it.
  • Very sturdy and sleek.
  • Very powerful hardware. Great camera.
  • Awesome system, awesome screen, awesome price.
  • The worst of this device is the camera quality.
