I already pre-ordered at the £279.99 pricepoint so i thought it was ok, a bit higher than i would have liked but with the quality Sony is known to produce and actually having some amazing games in the launch window i can justify the price to myself

PS Vita's built-in Twitter app shown off in Hong Kong, we go hands-on (video)



Here's a little souvenir for Twitter addicts eyeing the upcoming PS Vita: at today's debut event in Hong Kong, we got to see said console's built-in Twitter app in action for the very first time, and we were fortunate enough to get some exclusive hands-on time with Sony's in-house software. As you can see in our video after the break, the overall design feels very much in line with Twitter's standard ID: the same shade of blue, the usual tabs on the left column, slick elastic scrolling in the timelines, and support for geotagging, hash tags plus photo attachment while tweeting. No surprises here, but hey, the app worked well for us.

That said, we were told that the app wasn't quite finished yet, and Sony still couldn't confirm whether this -- along with the other dedicated apps like Skype, Foursquare and Facebook -- will be ready for download by the time the Vita launches in Hong Kong on December 23rd (just a tad later than Japan's launch on the 17th). In case you're wondering, the Vita there will cost HK$2,280 (US$290) for the WiFi version and HK$2,780 (US$360) for the 3G flavor, both unsubsidized but cheaper than their Japanese counterparts. Of course, given that the console isn't region-locked, feel free to go do some shopping in Hong Kong then -- just save some for the locals, OK? Also, check out our gallery below for some close-up shots of the Vita's music and video apps.

EDIT: Let's see if I can embed the video here...

I think Vita is going to have the largest library of good and great handheld games, because the developers feel invested in it. Hearing developers genuinely excited about making games for Vita gets me excited as a gamer! :D

Nothing motivates people more than feeling they have a voice and what they do matters.

It is a shame more companies do not follow this philosophy than do.

this thread just got me so excited for Vita!
so excited infact I'm making a new sig to include some vita games i want!
