Why the PS Vita is a Winner

The device was received as a bit of a average machine when it was released in Japan a few months ago.

Sony saw quite low sales and expectations that the mobile phone had replaced the handheld gaming market were prevalent among reporters in the gaming world. However, the release in the UK and Ireland has seen a lot of acclaim for the new machine - so what are its specific exciting points?

Power

The Sony PS Vita offers power that is comparable to that of a Playstation 3 in the hand. Now that's a large amount of ability in the hand and allows for some graphically amazing games on a device not much bigger than a phone.

Sony has showcased these abilities with a great emerging lineup which includes WipeOut, Ridge Racer and a number of other great starter games. These games showcase the graphical power of the new Sony device, and it's easy to see its power over that of the Nintendo competitor the 3DS. Of course, the PS Vita isn't a machine capable of glasses-free 3D, but then again, is 3D TV not on the way out and more of a mere novelty than a necessity.

Build

Though made of plastic the PS Vita appeals as it is a very sturdy and well built device. Sony has used quality plastics and added some lovely additions in the shape of the excellent analogue joysticks. These two protruding pieces offer the excellent aesthetics and also functionality of the Sony Playstation 3 joypad, yet on this little portable machine.

The joysticks themselves work a treat with the machine and really feel excellent during use. In fact, we'd say there are the nicest controllers on any portable machine we've used for a long time. Add to this, the great game line-up and we can see the device trouncing the Nintendo equivalent. Also, expect to see a number of great accessories as time goes by, especially on sites such as KGBDeals

Screen

The 5-inch screen of the PS Vita is a lot larger than that of the original PSP and is all the better for it. Though the device is slightly larger, the screen offers a far more dynamic feel to it and really has that great punchy feel you get from top end mobile phones, which KGB offers accessories for quite often.

It's also a capacitive screen and not a more irritating resistive version like the Nintendos. This allows for great in game fun and adds a lot to the machine. When you include the prevalence of the capacitive touch screen back on the Vita, which is used as an additional way of moving during the game and is set to be put to a number of creative uses, you realise how inventive this new device is and how for gaming phones and tablet's lie in, its wake.

Technology

For its price, the PS Vita is a fantastic machine, especially when you consider the additional array of technology inside its pretty interior. The dual cameras, analogue sticks, Wi-Fi

Sony recently released the new handheld PS Vita on the European market. The gaming

connectivity which allows you to download games and its number of graphical processors and sheer power - you realise it packs a lot of bang for its buck. You can also play your old PS1 games on it for free should you feel the need, so original WipeOut and Metal Gear Solid can be on the menu if you wish.

In fact, we're not sure what sort of profit margins Sony is making on this device. Considering they used to make a loss on the PS3 until it was around for a period, we don't expect they're making a lot and would imagine hope to make money back on peripheries and games - perhaps the reason you need to fork out £40 for a memory card to play the thing - a bit rich we felt. Wait and see if you can get lower cost third party versions on sites such as kgb deal.

The Vita is a lovely machine and we can really see it being a success for the Japanese company, no matter what the naysayers believe.

Make your House the Home you Always Wanted

The coming of the new year brings a little bit of a spark to our lives. In fact there is probably no better time than now to add a few bits and pieces to your home and make the most of the brighter days.

Fortunately, there currently are a number of excellent KGB offers to aid you in this task and we've got some great ideas and reasons to take advantage of them.

Cleaning

The whole notion of spring cleaning seems to have become a bit of a cliché in recent decades. Originally, spring cleaning was just that a big cleaning of homes in spring. In a time before dishwashers, washing machines and vacuum , of course a spring clean was a lot more essential and also a lot more work than the usual.

However, this isn't to say that you shouldn't bother with some form of extra effort for the new year. We've come across a number of great KGBDeals to turn your home into a sparkling new look abode. How about a professional cleaning service, who will steam your carpets and so kill all those unwanted germs and bacteria that vacuum never pick up. Or, have you ever thought about getting a proper window cleaner in to make those windows crystal clear.

One thing that amazes is that it's only after you have these services you often actually realise how dirty the home really is.

Boiler

The boiler is certainly the nerve centre of the home for many. Without heat neither brains nor limbs work. A boiler service is a great way to ensure that the whole boiler and your heating system is up to scratch and offering you the very best performance for your home.

A warm home is often a comfortable home and the boiler, though a simple piece of equipment can often go array. Boilers often heat more radiators than they should, they also have to contend with all sorts of pipes and the problem not only of themselves aging, but other parts of the system. Ensuring yours is working properly before the next cold spell will save you money, time and hassle and ensure your boiler is running as efficiently as possible.

Handy Man

Many of us don't have the time, or unfortunately the skills, to fix up those bits and bobs in our homes. This is why getting a handy man in is a great proposition. Handy men are often available on sites such as KGB Deals and others and provide you with a couple of hours of their services.

Turning their hand from anything from that broken bookcase, to the strange noise from under the sink. A handyman can really ensure that everything in your home is in working order, therefore doesn't cause you those unnecessary niggles.  Remember that a stitch in time saves nine.

Landscaping

Another great feature people often tend to overlook is the garden. Getting a landscaper into your home now and again can ensure that those unwanted and unsightly plants and sad to say weeds are kept under control.

Landscapers also do a great job at recommending the best sorts of plants for your area. Unfortunately, not all ground was created equal and depending on where you live the sort of soil around it may determine what grows best. Other factors to consider are the amount of light getting into an area and also the drainage.

A great landscaper can advise you on which of these is best and how to get the very best from your garden. Of course they can also advise you on the cosmetic area and ensure that your home looks completely tip top.

By using all of the above services, by keeping an eye out for them on kgbdeal services you can save a significant amount of money and have your home looking great coming into the summer.

Five Fashion No Nos

The fashion world is a cruel place - one where some of the most fun fads look laughable in once sepia coloured from. We all look back at some of our parents sartorial choices and grimace, however there have been a number of fashion faux-pas we should all be conscious of. So, as it's still in the month of January, sit beside the fire place with that photo album, as if you've pictures wearing any of the items below, you may consider sending them to the fiery pits of hell.

Onesie

One of the most recent and more notable pieces of clothing to come into existence in the recent half decade, or so is the onesie. Once the reserve of toddlers, the onesie has become a piece of kitsch, but functional clothing that to an extent is an ironic style trend. Your children won't understand the irony we can assure you!

Though the onesie is probably the best piece of clothing ever invented for the winter period, it doesn't create that sense of sex appeal some may envisage. This lack of attractiveness is possibly down to the issue of it turning a person into something resembling a small child - so to an extent heaven sakes for that! However, do stoke the furnace, it will be hard to explain.

Mesh Shirts and Vests

For a man the idea that a mesh shirt, or mesh vest could perform in a favourable manner in fashion terms is like saying mixing marmite and old slippers is a good idea as the colours are often similar!

Mesh vests and shirts are the clothing equivalent of octogenarian bungee jumpers - a bad idea! In fact, we can't think of a single instance where a mesh piece of clothing would ever be a good idea. Perhaps for those who find regular clothing catching fire and require a draft, mesh clothing is a good idea - we don't know anyone with that problem however and can't recommend them. There's no excuse for poor clothing with the likes of daily deals sites offering up to 70 per cent off clothing

Sunglasses at Night/ Indoors

Though technically not exactly a fashion and more of a choice, wearing sunglasses inside is something that deserves to be punished by unfriending of the virtual and also real variety. Comedian Larry David, of Seinfeld and Arrested Development fame said '"You know who wears sunglasses inside? Blind people and assholes."He's a funny man, who's sharp as a tack, so if you are of the persuasion to do this  - take it as a hint not to.

Stupid T-Shirts and Sports Jerseys

T-shirts with puns and other such sexually suggestive references should only be worn on TV, by those playing the character of geeks/ losers/sexual deviant.

In real life, even if you are one of the aforementioned, you probably don't want to be tarred more than likely. Unless. that is, your urges for blatant self abuse and social alienation becoming increasingly prevalent, due to some psychological issue or another.

T-shirts with sayings such as 'If Found; Return to Pub', Liquor in the front,; Poker in the Back, or 'Yo Ladies, Free Piggyback Rides!' should all be avoided, lest you want to be understandably unpopular.

Sports t-shirts may seem to create a masculine appeal, however are made for what they suggest they are made for - sport - so only wear them in a football stadium, at the gym, or while playing five-aside etc.

Side Ways Baseball Hats

Aside from not making any sense and looking silly, the sideways baseball cap is a scary prospect. Anyone, who has placed a baseball cap on their head at an angle that just evades gravity has obviously spent a good, five to ten minutes pouting to some Ice T, while nodding their head to something to do with 'pimps, bros and drugs'.

The effort, let alone the fact your mother doesn't allow you two, out of three of the aforementioned, means this whole fashion is just one that creates an inevitable cringe among the sane. Using daily deals sites such as kgbdeals can help with this.

By avoiding all five out of five you certainly limit your chances of laughter in the immediate and also long term future. However combing all three together  earns bonus points in our books and might even pass as a Halloween costume of sorts - one of the great deals of combining all five.

Street Jazz

The now infamous Pineapple Studio in Covent Garden in London has a wide variety of classes, one of which that is catching on across the UK is Street Jazz. This class is based on the Brazilian samba beat and mixes it up with some classic ballet and other forms of dance.

Street jazz is a fun and slightly cheesy way to get fit, though it must be said involves some sexy dance moves and real pop music lead by real choreographers. It's a great way to burn the weight off, but is also a fantastic way to tone up all the muscles in your body, as well as getting fit.

Yoga

This is certainly a classic that deserves its place on the list. Originally Indian, Yoga is great for improving posture, flexibility and sexual performance. At over 5000 years old, it is a little longer in the tooth than Street Jazz, though does wonders for flexibility, anxiety and mood.

Though there is a perception that it is a form of exercise for the older among us this is not at all true. One of the most famous practitioners is Ryan Giggs. Considering he's approaching his 38th birthday and still has his place in one of the best teams in the world and going strong - it's probably a good recommendation.

By choosing an exercise class, keep an eye out for the best value with daily deal sites such as KGB Deals. These can really offer you a great opportunity to get fit, socialise and have fun for less.
