The Joystiq Show - 025: PlayStation Vita talk

It's been a week chock-full of gaming news with both Assassin's Creed 3 and Darksiders 2 getting release dates, word that Rayman Origins is profitable, copies of Mass Effect 3 going to space, and more. Alexander and Dave join Richard to cover the happenings of the week, and as exciting as all of that is, this week is really about Sony's latest handheld.

The PlayStation Vita is already in the hands of those who preordered the First Edition bundle, and is just days away from being widely available on shelves. In the second segment, join Ludwig, Richard and JC as they sit down for an hour long discussion on the ins and outs of the hardware, launch lineup, and overall impressions of the PlayStation Vita.
