There’s a new handheld gaming system in town called the PS Vita. \u00a0The PS stands for PlayStation and the PS Vita upholds the HD like graphics quality and\u00a0immerse\u00a0gameplay\u00a0of its bigger counterpart, the PlayStation 3. \u00a0I first held a PS Vita in my hands when I visited the PlayStation headquarters<\/a> back in November. \u00a0As PlayStation Ambassadors, several bloggers were invited up to learn more about what PlayStation has in store for its fans.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, MomsLA, a popular bloggers group in Los Angeles (and the three\u00a0co-founders\u00a0are all partners in crime with me as PlayStation Ambassadors), hosted a PS Vita party at the hip…and temporary…Vita Hill Social Club<\/a> in Santa Monica. \u00a0The Vita Social Club opened just in December and will stay open for just a little longer during the national launch of the PS Vita on Weds., February 22nd. \u00a0The Vita Social Club is free to the public and houses scores of PS Vita’s to play with and try different games. \u00a0The Club offers comfy leather seating, a cool vibe, and free snacks!<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures of the scene from our MomsLA closed party event:<\/p>\n

This \u00a0is what the Vita Social Vita Hill Club looks like from the street. \u00a0I would guess that most people walking by don’t even know that it’s open to the public.<\/p>\n

I loved all the comfortable seating and accents. \u00a0Each sofa and coffee table throughout the club has about 4 PS Vitas to try different games. \u00a0The kids had a great time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Boxes of Pizza were piled up compliments of Fresh Brothers Pizza<\/a> to nourish us while we focused on our game. \u00a0The bundt cake bites from\u00a0Nothing Bundt Cakes<\/a> were superb —\u00a0so moist!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nEvery couch was filled with bloggers and bloggers-to-be’s. \u00a0Love this green leather couch!<\/p>\n

These kids are enthralled with the new Ben 10 Galactic Racing game, based on the Ben 10 TV series on Cartoon Nation. \u00a0You can actually use the PS Vita as a\u00a0steering\u00a0wheel to steer your car.<\/p>\n

Ahh, there’s nothing like kicking back in a nice leather chair with a leopard “skin” rug and playing your PS Vita during your time off.<\/p>\n

The PS Vita includes a 5 inch OLED screen which makes it light in weight and provides stunning graphics. \u00a0Other features include:<\/p>\n
