PS Vita - missed questions

1) Proprietary memory stick? What, the Memory Stick Pro Duo isn't good enough?
2) If they aren't stating, then the cameras must be VGA instead of 3 - 12 MP?
3) No mention of internal storage space (yet), like the PSP Go (R.I.P).

Any speculation about any of this?

I think they said they were planning to add internal storage, but I've heard they are not adding it in order to bring the price down.

Also, it's a gaming device, why should you care about the cameras? Anyway, I guess the rear camera is mainly intended for games like Invizimals or EyePet, and not for taking photos.

Does anyone know if it's been confirmed that you can connect your PSV to your TV with a component or composite cable. Just like you could with PSP?

I did and I'm going to take a wild guess and say those PSVitas are developer versions that allow them to do that or they are the PS3 versions of the same game played on a TV.

Sony says theres no video out, can't really argue with that.

I'm sure they will support Memory Sticks or something similar, I can't see them going the same route as the PSPGo. -- My only question is if it'll be able to play UMDs? I don't know if this was answered or not somewhere.WSGRandomPerson

In short, the Vita cannot play UMDs. I couldn't find the IGN/Gamespot article amidst all the E3 stuff, but the link below says the same thing.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/faster-forward/post/e3-2011-sony-vita-to-get-staggered-release/2011/06/07/AG2sSJLH_blog.html "As for how gamers will be playing on the device, Sony said it will use a flash-based memory card for games, ditching the Universal Media Disc currently used by the PlayStation Portable, or PSP."

Here is an excerpt from the Sony Q&A:

"Q: What kind of game medium will PS Vita support? What is the official name? Why did you decide to introduce it?"

"A: It is a small flash memory based card, dedicated for PS Vita. Taking advantage of the flash memory feature, this innovative card can store add-on game content or the game save directly on the card. By adopting flash memory based card, SCE will be able to provide game cards with higher capacity in the future, allowing developers to store more game data to deliver rich, immersive games. We will announce the official name at a later date."

While I think it's kinda cool to not need UMDs, what the hell am I going to do with the ones I got now? :PWSGRandomPerson

What i want to know is. Will you be able to have different VA options on games, because if i play a japanese game i want it with subs not dubs.mep69

That depends on the creators of the game, not the console.

One thing I'm hoping is that we would be able to listen to music while using the browser, I've always wanted to do that on the psp, though i don't use it as my primary browser, but i guess that will drain the power fast.
