    Playstation Vita: Australian Release February 2012

    My long commutes began very late into the PSP lifetime and thought I would hold-out till the 3DS. Well the 3DS hasn’t quite tipped me over just yet, and the announcement of the Vita had me quite excited beyond just the E3 presentation. Graphically it’s looking quite impressive and I need only demo the unit [...]
