Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In addition to sporting a 5 inch touchscreen, two analog sticks, optional 3G, and hefty processing power, the handheld PlayStation Vita can be used as a PS3 controller.
"You could drive a display from a PS3 game," said Sony R&D man Phil Rogers, as reported by Eurogamer. "PS3 can send data down to Vita and Vita can display it."
Such a feature for the PSP replacement could strike a blow against Nintendo's newest ventures.
Gaming giant Nintendo has been presenting the upcoming Wii successor, the Wii U, as a home console whose main innovation is a 6.5 inch touchscreen controller.
Nintendo has already announced an August 12 price cut for its latest handheld, the 3DS.
It was introduced at $249 (£229, €249, ¥24,980) in March, but will now retail for 30% to 40% less from August 12, at $169 and ¥15,000 (around £149 and €159).
The PSVita will also be priced at $249 when it launches during 2011's last few months. Precise details are expected August 16, during Sony's presentation prior to the Gamescom Expo, Cologne.
