Battery life is going to be 3-5 hours.

Ugh. That's as bad as the 3DS.

On a positive not though, they announced that the MGS HD Collection and Zone of Enders HD Collection will be available on the Vita at launch.

At the Tokyo Game Show today Sony showed off the Vita's remote play with Killzone 3...

Today during a presentation at the Tokyo Game Show 2011 in Japan, Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida demonstrated the PlayStation Vita’s remarkable ability to remotely play PlayStation 3 games. Mr. Yoshida then proceeded to get his butt kicked by the Helghast in front of a bunch of people.

The PS Vita’s sharp five inch display faithfully showed off the beautiful shooter. The tiny portable generally did a good job of keeping up with the massive explosions and frenzied firefights, but the framerate did suffer a few times. The dual analog sticks of the PS Vita made navigation and shooting look easy. Mr. Yoshida explained that the missing shoulder and analog stick buttons can be compensated for by using the Vita’s rear touch panel. I’m not sure how configuring these controls works or how it feels, but it’s interesting way to address the problem. Whether it was nerves, lack of practice, or a clunky interface, Mr. Yoshida struggled with the game, often firing rounds clear past the enemy and falling to his death.

The remote play feature also works with television programs. It appears that you can stream a show to your PS Vita while someone uses the TV for something else. This functionality reminds me of one of the Wii U’s biggest selling points.

Yoshida said that technology for remote play is in the hands of developers. There’s no telling if all games will be available for remote play, but Killzone 3 certainly is. Let’s cross our fingers that this awesome feature becomes widespread across PS3 games.

The hidden costs of the Vita

The hidden costs of PlayStation Vita: 3DS-esque battery life and mandatory memory cards | Joystiq

Hearing about the proprietary memory cards is the biggest deal. What a bunch of bullshit. So some games will have space on the game card to save but not all will, so you're forced to buy some overpriced proprietary card.:pissed:

External battery add-on has been announced. Supposedly giving gamers an extra 6-10 hours of battery life.

Sony has announced a new external battery for the PlayStation Vita that supposedly adds an additional 6-10 hours of life to the handheld console. The battery's capacity will be 5000mAh which is more than double the Vita's internal battery of 2200mAh. Therefore, with both batteries you'll be able to get a whopping 9-15 hours of playtime out of your Vita with this accessory.

The external battery weighs 145g (about 5 ounces), its dimensions are 70x67x22mm and it will be released in Spring 2012. The price for the battery is still undecided, but, as it's a Sony product I'd bet anywhere between $50-70 is a safe bet.

[Twigg4075]

Wow, so they are already planning a pricey add-on for their systems own deficiency. Stay classy Sony.

[SethMode]

Ugh. Keep giving more reasons for portable gaming to remain dead to me, Sony.

Dude, if you get this, you HAVE to post up another "how to play" video. How the fuck can you play a handheld system with a screen in the middle with one arm?
