Sony reveals rainbow of Playstation Vita colors

Sony continues to unveil new looks for its console and handheld gaming systems during this week’s Tokyo Game Show. While the previous announcements were focused on the Playstation 3, the latest rainbow of options to be revealed are for the Playstation Vita.

Kotaku has posted eight photos form the floor of the show featuring the Vita in various colors. Along with green, blue, and indigo options, there’s also a swanky gold Vita on display, among other colors.

And though the photo apparently doesn’t do it justice, there’s also a white Vita that looks it be right at home next to any Apple product (or the original Nintendo Wii).

It’s interesting to note that, with the exception of the white Vita, the colors shown for Sony’s upcoming handheld don’t differ all that much from the current (and previously announced) color schemes for the Nintendo 3DS. Heck, they both even have that crazy gold model.

There’s no word on whether all of these colors will be available when the Vita goes on sale next year.

I was a PlayStation Portal hater. Now it’s one of my go-to gaming devices
A PlayStation Portal plays Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

In November, I reviewed the PlayStation Portal. I was mixed on Sony’s streaming handheld at the time, frustrated with a corner-cutting execution of a good idea. It seemed like a poor value compared to simply slapping a cheaper Backbone controller on a phone. As is often the case with tech reviews, though, I only had a short window to test it out where I was more focused on the more objective side of what the Portal does and doesn’t do. Would my feelings change when I was using it naturally?

I’ve gotten the answer to that question over the past few months. While I barely touched my Portal after reviewing it in 2023, it’s quickly become a go-to device in my home as of January. I’m now breaking it out at least once a week, finding some practical use cases for it. Though my overall assessment of it hasn’t changed, I have a more tangible understanding of where it can be a useful -- if superfluous -- PS5 companion. It’s a needless luxury, but one that I’m finding that I'm happy to indulge in.

The PlayStation Portal’s launch just so happened to come right before a major life change that would shift my perspective. After living alone for three years, my girlfriend moved into my apartment last December. It’s been a natural change that’s working great so far. That shift does come with some lifestyle changes, though. We’re both crammed into a one-bedroom apartment, which means we’re sharing a tight space. We remotely do our jobs feet apart in the same room, and most evenings are spent lounging on the couch.
