Forums - Sony - Vita With HDMI, USB Patented

PS Vita with HDMI, USB ports patented

Sony files patent application for updated version of portable device with two new ports.

A new version of the PlayStation Vita could include HDMI and USB ports. Apatent application (via PatentBolt) filed last year--but published this month--details a new configuration of the device with additional ports.

 

The official PS Vita FAQ page states Sony has no plans to introduce a video output option for the device, though that information is only current as of August 2012.

No additional information was provided and a Sony representative declined to comment.

Sony is gathering media for a PlayStation Meeting in New York City on February 20 where the company is expected to announce the PlayStation 4.

If Sony does have a new PS Vita model to unveil, it is possible the company would do so during this event, though this is of course not confirmed.

Uncharted Golden Abyss isnt on PS3 though.

I think hes trolling.



Pretty cool feature. I agree though, should have just come with it at launch.



"The present application claims priority from Japanese application JP2011-171287 filed on Aug. 4, 2011"
