Sony PlayStation Vita launch event at 99 Sudbury

The device features controls galore with a touchscreen on the front and, interestingly enough, a rear touchpad on the back as well. There’s also front and rear cameras as a GPS, wifi, bluetooth.

The 5″ OLED screen was bright and vibrant handling the graphics of all the games seen that day very smoothly without jitters. I would get a screen protector if possible.

On another note, with all the controls such as the rear touchpad, it won’t be feasible to have a protective case on while playing with the device. Dropping this device will be likely with the gyroscope enabled games. However the device feels solid and rugged.

The six axis motion sensor was very smooth and responsive.

All of these elements make for interesting new dimensions in gaming. Whether these features are unique enough to warrant the purchase of a dedicated portable gaming console versus the similar experience on a smartphone remains to be seen in sales but Sony shows there’s no momentum being lost here.

  • Comments Off on Pfaff Porsche 911 Launch Event

Pfaff Porsche hosted the unveiling of the new 2012 Porsche 911 at Brookfield Place in downtown Toronto on February 15, 2012.

Features include being 40 kg lighter, with a wider and lower stance, increased horsepower resulting in a “no compromises” combination of lower fuel consumption and faster lap times.  Aesthetics included revised headlights, side mirrors moved from the A pillar to the door while remaining true to the Porsche look.  The emphasis was that this agile sports car is not the most powerful car in its class, but claims it has the best power to weight ratio in its class.

Fantastic catering was provided by Obika Mozzarella Bar. Other sponsors included Erdinger, Stiegl, Glenfiddich and more.

ABOUT THE PORSCHE 911 CARRERA

Nothing has changed. Except everything. The new 911 has arrived. Redefining the standard, as it always has. More than 90% of its parts are completely new or significantly re-engineered. But behind it all, the same race-bred passion that has defined every 911. Reduced weight, lower fuel consumption and increased horsepower with improved stability and driver comfort. Porsche. There is no substitute. The new 911.
