Any And Every Gamer Loves To Accessorize Their Vita

Anyone who purchases games knows that just having a console and its software can offer a great experience, but if you want to expand your gaming experience or get the most out of your games, then you’ve got to pick up the additional accessories to make it happen. Whether you’re just looking for something to add a little bit of immersion, take better advantage of the beautiful musical scores in your games, or just add some life to your console, games, or handheld, then having the right accessories is an absolute must.

The Vita has a handful of “official” accessories out right now as well as many other “unofficial” accessories that can be just as useful as their branded counterparts. If you want to get the most out of the life of your Vita, then the obvious first step is to protect it from harm. The absolute first thing you should buy for your Vita is a screen protector for its front OLED. Being both the visual display and an control surface means that the last thing you want to do is see it scratched or damaged. You can go with the official screen protectors put out by Sony, but I find that any type of protector that will work with a smart phone will do just fine, especially those “cut to fit” sheets.

Another important piece of protective gear is either an individual case or carrying case. Cases for the Vita itself will protect it from some damage if dropped and can also keep it safe from spills or foreign objects it might come into contact with (especially important if you’re playing outside). The NERF soft foam case makes a great shock absorber if your Vita happens to slip out of your hands and its foam will protect the handheld itself from wear as well. If you don’t want to carry it around in your pocket, invest in a carrying case where you can also store your games and other accessories as well.

While the speakers on the Vita are remarkably powerful and high quality, you can really immerse yourself in your games’ environments with a nice pair of headphones. Sony has an official pair of in-ear headphones available for the Vita, but once again there are many unofficial products as well. In fact, the Vita supports most standard headphones with its 3.5mm audio port on the bottom next to the charging port. Practically any kind of headphones you might already use for your PC/laptop, audio player, or even console will work.

The last and arguably most important accessory for the Vita is the memory card. Unless you purchase a bundle, you’ll need to purchase the memory card separately (which can potentially get a little expensive) so make sure you get the size you want. Sizes are 4, 8, 16, and 32GB so you should aim for one that will be able to store all the music, movies, games, DLC, and other content you might want so you don’t have to end up purchasing a new one or having to delete or shuffle around your data to make room. You may not need to purchase any extra accessories for your Vita, but having them can extend its life and make your gaming experience that much more fulfilling.

What kind of networking features will it have?

The Vita, no matter which model you have, will work with a number of networking features, ranging from game features to apps. Near, LiveArea, and Party are great for meeting and keeping in touch with new friends as well as commenting on each other’s achievements and seeing what people nearby are playing. As far as non-gaming, the Vita will support multiple social networking apps like Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare, just to name a few.

What kind of battery life can I expect?

On average, the Vita will last about 3-5 hours, depending on your settings. Taking precautions like dimming the OLED screen and turning off Wi-Fi will increase the life, but more feature and graphically intensive games will use up more juice than those less graphics-focused.

Do I get anything for my Vita from having a PSP?

Well, this is a yes and no situation. Just having owned a PSP doesn’t count for much, but if you downloaded any digital titles for it that are compatible with the Vita, you’re entitled to download them again to play on your Vita at your leisure (assuming you use the same PSN account for your Vita).

What exactly does Remote Play do?

Well, Remote play does a lot of things, but at its core it allows you to use your PS3 with your Vita from anywhere you have an internet connection. There are only a few PS3 titles out that support Remote Play with the Vita, but more and more games will be soon supporting it. You can also stream any media your PS3 has access to (either on its HD or on a PC on the same network) for viewing/listening on your Vita. Finally, with the PS3’s PS1 backwards compatibility, you can Remote Play PS1 titles through your Vita from anywhere you can connect to the internet.

What kind of hardware does it have?

Well, the Vita has a stunningly detailed 5 inch OLED screen that displays a 960×544 resolution (16:9) with a whopping 16,770,000 colors which gives you unprecedented depth for a handheld gaming system.

Both the front and rear camera are 0.3MP and support 480p video recording.

Is there anything it doesn’t do?

Well, as much as I want to answer this with a no, there are things beyond the Vita’s (current) reach. As of now, the Vita doesn’t support Flash and, by extension, YouTube or any other online media requiring it to run. It also doesn’t support the use of UMDs from the previous PSP, though as mentioned above you can still download and play compatible digital PSP titles.

All in all, the Vita is a great handheld with almost limitless possibilities for expansion in the future. If you’re on the fence or don’t have one already, you’re missing out on an amazing gaming experience.
