Engraved jewellery is not uncommon in the Western world; engraved video game consoles are. Still, the latter very much appears to be a thing in Japan, as Sony has launched a PlayStation Vita engraving service in its homeland, which will cost you ¥500 ($4) per character. This means that getting 'Push Square' emblazoned on your handheld will set you back approximately $40. Worth every bright green buck if you ask us.
You can also opt to have your PlayStation TV personalised if you prefer, but seeing as all of ten people own one of those, we doubt that there'll be a particularly long queue for that part of the service. All the same, we quite like the idea of customised consoles, but we very much doubt that Sony will be rolling this out overseas. Imagine for a second that it did, though: what would you get written on your device?

I know people knock the Vita, but, I absolutely love mine. Whilst my missus is watching some colossal pile of shite like Big Brother or TOWIE I can be whisked away to far off lands like Tamriel and spend hours killing things with my sparkling staff of nasty-ness
@stupidget Yeah, I love the Vita, too. Great little machine.
I stumped up the cash and bought a 64gb card last week.I now love my vita so much more it's like a new console for me I've downloaded all my back log ps plus games and bought a few new download games like borderlands and I've got just shy of 30 games ready to play whenever. Previously having an 8gb card I was forever deleting and redownloading. And most of the games I have only take my fancy randomly now when I go on holiday it will be so easy to pickup and play whatever whenever. The best vita purchase I've made
@gingerfrog Yeah I'm going to get a 64gb card. I've got a 4gb card (!!!) which means I keep having to remove stuff to install new stuff . Where did you get yours from and how much?
@stupidget
I paid £65 from cex. You can select the item u want then enter your location and search nearest store to you with one instock or order online. I had to pay cash so chose to drive to nearest store. If u can buy online then eBay has the from retailers around £55. It's completely changing my use of the vita I have nearly 30 full games like uncharted, killzone, borderlands, need for Speed, sly, And many indie and still 28gb left. I'm also going to replace my retail games with download versions as they come on offer so I'll always have everything with me.
It is sad when I read "engrave" and my first thought was "putting into a grave".
@sinalefa
That's a big step.
@gingerfrog Yeah thats what I need to do. I still have a sizable Vita backlog of games I need to play and I prefer to download Vita games. I'm working with a 16gb right now so half my games I'll have to redownload.
