Ushering in a new era for the portable gaming industry and delighting gaming fans, du today announced a partnership with Sony PlayStation®, to provide data bundles to power the PlayStation® Vita 3G - the first handheld gaming system with 3G connectivity – on the telecom’s advanced mobile network, supporting the gaming experience with speeds up to 42Mbps. Bundles will be available from du, starting from AED100.
du’s advanced network enables a real-time gaming experience with limited latency – a feature that gaming fans will notice and appreciate while involved in group gaming on 3G.
With the PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) 3G, powered by du, users can not only play their favourite games anywhere, but also use the location-based features in the games, while keeping up with their gaming community and other social networks. The PS Vita has an incredibly vibrant five-inch OLED touch screen and rear touch panel, two analogue sticks and a camera in the front and back. Augmented Reality on PS Vita allows fans to capture 360 degree scenery and use it as the background of their next Reality Fighters game, a PS Vita title at launch. Imagine sending characters to fight at the top of Burj Khalifa or at Emirates Palace.
