The PlayStation Vita’s Battery Will be Replaceable

The English version of the PlayStation Vita manual is now available via the PlayStation website and one of the more interesting things to come from it is that gamers will be able to replace the battery, which indicates a possibility of better-performing models being released down the road.

Other interesting tidbits revealed in the manual concerning the upcoming hand-held device are as follows:

• The PS button lights blue when you have notifications/messages.
• You can have six Live Area apps open at once. When you open a seventh, the first app opened is terminated.
• You can have 100 Live Area icons on the main pages (you can delete icons, edit their order, the background image, etc).
• The PC management software provides a blanket backup/restore function for all the data on your card.
• Downloaded games are installed automatically when you go back to the home screen. When installation of a game is complete, the game icon appears on the home screen.
• You can synchronise trophies with the PSN and view them on PS3. Platinum trophies are also included.
• The Vita takes around two hours to charge and a full charge provides around 4-5 hours of gaming.
