Just two months to go, and gamers of the Sony persuasion can get their thumbs-on the PS Vita (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/14/sony-playstation-vita-debuts-in-japan-on-december-17th-partneri/). While we were getting comfy with the available list of this PSP successor's dos and don'ts (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/21/in-case-you-didnt-know-ps-vita-will-play-nice-with-psp-in-ad-h/), out comes further info to rain on our anticipated PlayStation Suite (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/playstation-suite-sdk-beta-coming-in-november-offering-games-in/) parade. According to a report from ASCII, game downloads over 3G connections will be limited to a max of 20MB. What does that mean for you, prospective buyer? Well, kiss that 500 - 600 strong library (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/14/sony-announces-bucketload-of-playstation-vita-launch-games-teas/) of PSP titles goodbye, and say hello to a catalog of minis. Sure, you could always hook up to some decent WiFi to purchase and play those old favorites uninterrupted, but that kind of defeats this portable's on-the-go design. Rest assured, this download cap could still change before the handheld launches in the US and UK (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/04/sony-playstation-vita-handheld-will-miss-christmas-in-us-and-eur/). And anyway, you didn't think you were going to get far on that three to five hour charge, now did you?
