Sorry to say this but I hate the Vita I was hoping for much better things to come out of this system... and it doesn't even have many great games, they're pretty much all about shooting people, cutting heads off, and assassinating people.

This handheld is superior in graphics than any other currretn generation handheld but it lacks the most important factor: games. I'm pretty sure that it isn't selling well due to the fact that none of the games except Gravity Rush are worth playing. Take my advice and purchase a Vita after some acceptable titles are released. For now a Nintendo 3DS will do you good. At least it has great games.

PS Vita's are amazing
Posted 15/08/12
PS Vita's are amazing. What's gotten in to you they are so worth playing. I wouldn't pay i penny for a lousy, unreliable 3DS all the good games are coming out in September and Unit 13, Gravity Rush, Uncharted Golden abyss and wipeout 2048 are all great games

I love my PS Vita a lot. It's sooo much better than those wannabe portable game systems (3DS, 3DS XL, DSi, DSi XL) Everything about it is great. I'm not impressed with the internet browser though. it could be so much better. And I wish it had something lie iTunes so you didn't need to download music on it from your computer. All in all I really like it and would recommend it to anybody.

Bought this a couple days after the release date. Love it as much as the day I bought it! Great touch screen which responds a 100 times better than i expected! Dual cameras which are handy for Skype which runs PERFECT and very mobile! The amount of apps are fairly awesome( Facebook, Twitter Ect...) The web browser is OK, and its the only thing that i really not impressed with(I've seen no name tablets that utilize Web browsers better!) But I've got a laptop for that.
No standard Memory or HD which was a bit disappointing but cards are fairly cheap so not such a big deal. Lots of power,It runs a high res games like Uncharted and Rayman EASY(with crazy good FPS) and u can seamlessly move through the tabs and menus in the PS Vita's control screen while the games playing. Love the battery life which can be weeks on stand by or playing Rayman Origins for 7 hours straight! The System is made solid as well. It fells more like a tablet with PlayStation buttons. Not impressed with the lack of quality games released with the system tho. Really hope this part picks up. The new Assassins Creed 3 bundle looks awesome and i might upgrade to this in November(I'm a big fan of the white systems and Assassins Creed :)) I really do recommend picking one up if u travel or use public transit on regular basis or are a hardcore gamer(For consistent home use) All in all its worth the money and is a great and solid feeling system which is on sale for 249.99 with 4gb memory, case, game, Ect... (Wish i waited LOL!) Thanks for reading and happy gaming :)

The ps vita is great except that the camera is bad and there is no internal memory other wise the vita is amazing the touch screen and the rear touch pad are amazing so I would recommend this to anyone thinking of buying the ps vita.

I could not think of anything they could change. I would highly recommend this. some good games would be little deviants and gravity rush.

I personally love the PS Vita, even if it does have some flaws. Here are the flaws: The cameras are pretty bad. The game selection right now is not that good. Memory cards are pretty expensive. No good case out right now that I can play in and have the PS Vita be protected. . Me stating these flaws doesn't mean that the PS Vita is bad. I am just saying that it is not the best it could be. The games are still fine, with decent prices. Camera is not really used too much anyway. Mainly for Augmented Reality games. Memory cards not really problem if you buy the games at the actual store and if you get the starter pack. There will be a case made soon enough. . Amazing handheld overall!

This is an awesome system. the graphics are good and the games will be good, especially when bf3 and mw3 come out for it. the screen color is really crisp and bright. the rear touchpad is a good feature except that I think it needs to be smaller. when games such as bf3 that you can already stream on it using remote play, need to have a R2 and L2 button, you touch either side of the touch pad to use them. which makes the grip for holding it very difficult because the touchpad is so big. the speakers could also be moved too. when using the joysticks your thumb goes over the speaker and dampens the sound. overall a great system. and would suggest buying one. the AR cards it comes with are cool to, but a pain to have to carry around when you want to play a game that uses them like little devients. ( the AR cards for thoughs who dont know, use the rear camera and turn things like your table or floor into an augmented reality (AR)). Cant wait till more games come out and can be cross played with the PS3 ( only good game now that does that is wipe out). it will bring a whole new meaning to portable gaming and more users too. its a bit of a wait for some good titled games, a new call of duty is set out for September 2012 but should be worth the wait. and hopefully it holds the cross play option with the ps3. I could go on and on about it.

This is AMAZING. I love the fact the you can buy a real game or go on the network and download great games. This is so much better the the old Psp because you get the best of everything. You get a great touchscreen and the buttons are amazing as usual. This is a must buy.

I got my hands on a psvita and honestly i think when they get all there games out in the near future it will be more fun to play the psvita. not saying it will surpass income of ps3 as this is a handheld but me myself enjoyed it alot better then a ps3 and will be buying.

I agree.
Posted 22/02/12
I agree with you. In my oppinion, nobody should buy a game system until later on in the future because: #1 - there is a high probability that is is gonna be cheaper. #2 - when it is released, there is only a few games that are out for it, which can lead to having a "too high expectation level" (you see a list of games that are gonna come out in the future, making you expect it to come out months, even years, before you think that game is gonna come out). #3 - wait until more game you wanna get come out, sometimes you wait long enough and the system is really cheap. Believe me I know by experience how all of this feels, cause I got a 3DS within 1.5 months of when it came out, and there was only, like, 1 game I wanted out of, maybe 6 or 7 that was available when I bought it. And it was about $250. Currently, there are now about 3 of that 7 available in stores and it costs less than $150 in some places. It was much better when I got my PS3 for $200 (when it came out it was at least $500) last Boxing Day 'cause there was a heck of a lot more games that I wanted to get, there were sales on everywhere, and I had a heck of a lot of gift cards. Thankfully I had just enough to get a system, COD:MW3, and MGS4 using all my gift cards and some of my Christmas money. So yeah, that's my prooving story.

i can't wait for the PS Vita! I Ioved the PSP and this sounds like a super improved and cooler versions of it! And finally for the first time on a portable gaming system there are dual anologue sticks and it has wifi and two touch screens and there is already an impresive line up of games annouced for it. What's not to love :)

lol @ the poster who thinks PlayStation said not to buy the Nintendo 3DS...your loco.
This new handheld console (PS Vita) will give the 3DS some true competition in the market as the next gen system (finally).
Not sure about the NGP media format but I guess we'll have to see when they're finally released.
Personally looking forward to getting a WiFi version once they're released in Feb. 2012.

While I agree that the Vita looks pretty awesome, what in the world does it have to do with telling people not to buy a 3DS. The 3DS is amazing, even if it's library is currently lacking. The Vita looks like it will be quite good and I'm sure I'll end up getting one, but that's no reason not to pick up the 3DS.

i disagree....just because the 3DS has a lackluster lineup right now doesn't mean that it won't have awesome games come christmas. both systems have pros and cons so no you can't rub it in their faces because most people (me including) don't care what you have to say and probably have both...like me

Looks awesome. I Can't wait to get mine. I will definitely be reordering. The hardware and graphics look amazing and as good as any current home console. This is the future of the portable device market. The Nintendo DS has nothing on this. Uncharted looks great, but I am a little skeptical of Reality Fighter but other than that all looks smooth.
