Japanese games rag Famitsu has published some fresh deets on Sony’s incoming handheld gaming device, the PlayStation Vita. Of course, we can’t read Japanese, so luckily adriasang<\/a> has kindly translated the article.<\/p>\n

According to Famitsu, Vita’s web browser will support Java, HTML5 and cookies, but not Flash, which is expected to be patched in later.<\/p>\n

Additional revelations include:<\/p>\n

– Sony is looking at ways to allow users to carry their save data from current generation PSPs over to Vita.<\/p>\n

– A “portable charger” will be available, effectively doubling the capacity of Vita’s built in battery.<\/p>\n

– Vita doesn’t use a memory stick or SD card, so the only way to get music and images to it will be via your PS3 or PC.<\/p>\n

– It will possible to make gradual adjustments to Vita’s brightness.<\/p>\n

– Quickly pressing the power button will put Vita into sleep mode.<\/p>\n

Earlier today we published news of an indication on local PS Vita pricing<\/a>, although nothing is official at this point.<\/p>\n

Local online retailers have begun listing the device for pre-order, with Kalahari offering the 3G model for R3,299.95 (a “special” offer down from R3,799.95). <\/p>\n

Takealot.com, lists the pre-order price<\/a> for the Wi-Fi-only and 3G models at R2,799 and 3,499 respectively – but clearly stipulates that prices are subject to change.<\/p>\n

We are still awaiting confirmation on local recommended retail pricing from Sony product distributor Ster Kinekor.<\/p>\n

The PS Vita will be available in SA on 22 February 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n
