E3 2011: Sony NGP now called PSVITA, coming Fall 2011!

Edit: Rather than mess things up here with two completely different consoles. We have a new PSV Hacks (psvhacks.com) website. At the moment you’ll find the latest PSV news when the hacks and homebrew arrive you’ll know where to find it. More on this soon…

We knew the NGP name was  a codename, but Sony just announced the PSP2 aka NGP is now called the PlayStation Vita or PSVita for short. Bad name? We think so. PSP Go 2 or PSPII or PSP2 would have been nice, but hey were not Sony. Its very similar to the NGP prototype we saw earlier. Only changes I see is the new slots on the bottom of the unit where the game card will go and next to that the users own memory card for saves and user data.

PSVITA will launch this year (Fall) with two models the Wifi model for $249 and the 3G+Wifi model on AT&T for $299. The price is about right and good on Sony for keeping the price down. Launch titles included: Uncharted, Golden Abyss, Street Fighter X Tekken, LittleBigPlanet, Modnation Racers, CritterCrunch, Ruin, WipeOut 2042, Stardust HD and Hot Shots Golf. More to come, but its a huge line up and impressive to say the least.

    whack ass sony

  • Magical3

    I love the vita, except for the stupid touch panel. I feel like Nintendo has gotten to Sony, that Sony feels the need to add the touch panel for not having two screens. As soon as it is possible to hack the vita I will try to disable the stupid thing!

  • pSpFevEr

    can we play youtube videos on PSVITA??

    • squiggs

      there are phones that are crappy (any android that isn’t 400$) that make a psv look like a supper computer and can play youtube so put 2 and 2 together to make 4 and what do you think

  • No0ne

    Indeed Vita=life
    but it also could be taken from the letter B (prononced like Vita in Greek)
    marking their second portable device

  • Hackable??

    “vitamin” will be the name of CFW :D :D

  • SuperstarX64

    The name is ugly but the console itself is pretty promising… This thing runs on a Cortex with a SGX, It will be of no surprise to see some android ports or things like that a couple of months after the launch…
    It will be out on Fall, so pretty much like it will be at my country after holidays…

  • Nightless

    Lets see…
    Pros – Graphics look awesome, Dual Analogs that allows for a larger variety of games (DualStick Shmups, FPS’, etc), Console Design looks nice and sleek, Price of console/games are reasonable, specs are good…
    Cons – XMB Menu looks like shit, Touchscreen in front is cool and all, but touchpad at the back is kinda… Eh. Don’t care ’bout the name… Yeah, Ill get it a few months after launch I guess, when the price drops and more games are released.

    • GMR

      You’ll get it a few months after launch when the price drops? LMAO good luck with that. You think the price will drop a ‘few months’ after launch? Try a few years. Sony have said they will be making a profit from the hardware after 2-3 years. That means AT LEAST that much time before they’ll even start thinking of a price drop.

      • Nightless

        Then I’ll get it then, lol.

  • SquallDNA

    i dont care about the name, i just wanna have it!

  • SuperstarX64

    This is a whole new battleground for Sony and the Hombrewers, I’m looking forward to see what will come up…

  • joseph

    wow the price is good , but is that a usa price ? i expect ripp off australia to sell it for more than that , but i hope not , i will definatley get the $299 model and all those games on the release. the name is a bit funny sounds like a name you see on a box of vitamins haha psvita.

    P.S a piece of advice for those of you who will get it do no uprade
    Do not attempt to hack until a full working and tested Psp vita hack has been released.
    Do not get this bricked or you will literally shit bricks

  • Stoner_Noob

    Its basically a combination of a ps3, psp, and itouch.

  • curious

    It doesn’t have a UMD slot, right?So you just download games from their site?

    • Jakx102

      Sony will offer games on psn as well as cartridges like the 3DS/DS.

  • xXx

    Once it is capable for hombrew it would be fucking awesome to see a Dreamcast emu for it, it should have enough power to emulate it :D :D

    • gmc

      oh man it has arm dual core processor clocked from 800 mhz to 2000mhz and graphic card equivalent to x box 360

  • Colourless

    I Juz wanna learn to make some crack for this thing when it come out~ Pray for me partner ^^V

  • dombnewb

    OMG, just noticed this-
    The speakers are placed phat-style: next to the sticks, so they’ll be muffled all over again…
    That is, of course, until PS Vita Slim & Lite n’ Brite!
    also, proprietary flash media sucks.
