05 The Handheld That Waited

The PlayStation Vita wasn’t built to win. It wasn’t built to compete. It was built to belong.

In this episode of Press Start to Rewind, we slow down & revisit Sony’s quiet little handheld...the one that waited patiently in our pockets, our bags, & our nights.

Through listener memories, soft reflections, & the sounds of some of our favorite games, we remember the Vita not as a console…but as a companion.
