THE BUZZ: The PlayStation Vita got off to a rough start in Japan, with many users complaining of bugs, unresponsive touch screens and complete freezes with their new systems.

Sony has released firmware update 1.5 for the Vita and now things seem to be settling down with the general public.

EGM’s TAKE: Hopefully these issues and bugs will all have been worked out by the time the handheld reaches Western shores next year.
