400-page hardback book documents PS Vita’s ten-year history

With PS Vita approaching its tenth anniversary, author Sandeep Rai has launched a Kickstarter for a 400-page book documenting the entire history of the now-defunct device. Vita Means Life – which had a target of £ 6,000 but has already exceeded £ 15,000 at the time of writing – promises to “take a look back at the events that shaped the format’s fortunes, from its well-received announcement to its rocky launch” and all afterwards.

The novel, which is a hardback collection of three books Rai has written before, has been expanded with “new material” describing recent events. The final product will be divided into four sections spanning the history of the hardware, interviews, retrospectives and an extensive library showing all the PS Vita games ever released in Western Territories.

If you would like to support it, then you can pay £ 27 for a physical and digital copy, with a release date set for April next year. There are some stretch targets, including an improved e-book and a collector’s guide, the latter of which will be delivered with all purchases should the project cross £ 30,000. You can find out more information here, but with the Kickstarter already over £ 15,000 with 29 days left, we can probably already call this one a great success.
