PS Vita: General Discussion

[bambaroo]



At this years E3 Sony announced the name of the next generation portable known as PlayStation®Vita.

Just thinking the same thing so does anyone know , also I presume it will take mini sd cards to add memory so what is the largest card memory wise that it will support,one more thing I heard it will support both downloaded media and also media will be coming in a cartridge form ? So has anyone got a picture of the cartage media ?

A few things that I would like to know.

If I buy the model with out 3G connectivity will it still have a sim card port so I can get a sim card at later date.

What memory card will it use, SD, MMC, PRODuo or a new type that is not available yet.

What accessory's will it have for this accessory port.

How much memory will the PSVita have, I am not asking about internal storage but system memory, (PSP had 32MB) my best guess would be at least 512MB as any less would be pointless with a quad core CPU

dont think there gonna sell the wireless model with a sim card slot because that the whole point in the 3g model.
