Thread: Questions About Vita

PS Vita is already released in Japan, and it will be released in the west in no time, but we all have some questions about sony's new handheld. Of course the no one hasn't cracked it yet, so we will be talking about official features and "future possibilities" about the product. Here are some of my questions:

1. What kind of comptaibility does it have? Does it play everything on PSN including PS1 Classics, PS2, PSN mini's and PSP games?
2. Does it play psp umd's (this will mean a whole psp game library can be ported after it gets hacked)
3. Does all the psp games benefit from the second analog stick? If not, which ones do?
4. Do we have to use touchscreen for the launch games? I mean, do we have to use them, or are they optional? For example, in some moments of Uncharted Golden Abyss, I've seen touchscreen is used for hand to hand combat or cleaning the dusts on an old paper or balancing yourself on a ledge.
5. What kind of video files does it support?
6. How is the picture viewer? Is it good for reading comics or manga?

I'm sure there are Japanese members in the forum, who might've bought a vita, or even people who imported it. So I would be very happy, if someone could answer my questions.

Also, if you have other questions, please ask.

according to amazon 'Vita can play PSP titles, minis, PS one classics, video and comics from the PlayStation Store'. I heard that PS3 games dl'd off the PSN store (i.e. Infamous) can be put on the Vita, but a 4GB memory card won't cut it there. Better get the expensive one
