Pramod, Luton Mature gamer

Score 9.0/10
Good points:
Fantastic machine. Very easy to use, great graphics - just like having a PS3 in your hands. Also the sound is exceptional when using headphones, so the whole game experieince is immersive. Augmented Reality is something else! it is great to see this technology coming to mainstream. Overall I am VERY happy with this. Forget the bad reviews, try it out for yourself. It really is the best handheld on the market at the moment. I find it hard to put it down. Just needs more games, but they will come. However with PS+ membership, it really is great value for money as it can be used on the PS3 and PS VITA.
Bad points:
It scratches far too easily and my unit does look used. It is a shame, Sony really should up their game on the materials used.

Marc, Blackburn Hardcore gamer

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
Decent games
Some good apps like YouTube
Playstation plus
Psn
First party titles like Uncharted are excellent
Developers like ubisoft putting time into making games specifically for vita like assassin's creed liberation
Hopefully full ps4 integration in terms of remote play and cross controller
Bad points:
Expensive memory cards
Games like fifa 13 and call of duty declassified. The third party developers treated the vita versions of these games as an afterthought and still charged full price.
Needs bigger memory cards eg 64gb and 128gb
No Netflix for uk
Remote play not being utilised that well on ps3. Hopefully it will have full integration with ps4
