The Vita has landed take a look at the Japanese PS Vitas launch hardware

Hollander Cooper was the Lead Features Editor of GamesRadar+ between 2011 and 2014. After that lengthy stint managing GR's editorial calendar he moved behind the curtain and into the video game industry itself, working as social media manager for EA and as a communications lead at Riot Games. Hollander is currently stationed at Apple as an organic social lead for the App Store and Apple Arcade.

If you’ve been reading GamesRadar over the weekend you likely saw the barrage of Vita coverage we put up, covering the launch software and the internals of the system (you can read about it here). But even though we’ve, so far, been impressed with the Vita’s insides, we’re also pretty happy with the outsides as well. The touchscreen(s), the analog sticks, the size of the screen – it’s all impressive, and worth pining over.

In order to celebrate this side of the system we’ve gotten together a gallery of images showing off the hardware, and comparing it to other systems you might have in order to give you a better idea of how it will look in your hands come February 22. Take a look!
