Playstation Vita

[fatelinka]

What are some of your views? I want one myself but along with other people the cost for the Vita and a memory card is almost a turn off from the system. One thing I enjoy most oddly is the dual analog sticks, no more claw! =D
I would also get the WiFi one.

One of my coworkers picked one up and he seems very happy with it.

I didn't pick up a PSP, so I'm tempted to get a Vita at some point so I can play any worthwhile PSP games I missed as well as any upcoming Vita titles worth playing.

The weird thing is that I kind of just want to pick it up for the Persona 4 port (since I never finished it on PS2... but then again I could just hook up my PS2 and finish it that way.)

True, having a horrible computer im kind of hoping to get PS02 for it in 2013 myself.

I've had one since day 2. No regrets, it's an awesome little machine.

But like with any system, it depends on the games, the current selection may or may not be interesting to you yet. The future, however, looks bright!

Looking at the games it's getting, the one I want at least... You could say they're going back to the kind of library that made me love my PS2. JRPGs, Anime style action games and GTA games that don't suck

I mean it has Gravity rush, an anime style sandbox game with a cool concept + that FF10 remake + Persona port + Tales of innocense remake + FF type-0 HD + Grand theft auto Vice City Nights (Not sure if that's really confirmed) + PSO2 probably going to be my most favorite online RPG in existence???

Also it's Augmented reality looks a TRILLION times better than 3DS' or iPod's AR.

I can imagine it being a PS3 in your pocket, except... a PS3 that ACTUALLY HAS GAMES. But at the same time it costs like a PS3 that could fit in your pocket too... Which is probably why I'm not getting one any time soon.

Only thing that looks bad to me is the price.. and It kinda bugs me that it's bigger than the PSP, and I already thought the PSP was kinda huge... If it got any bigger it may as well had been a gamegear. Then again I'm one of 12 people that actually LIKED the gameboy micro.

TL;DR: Library looks PS2 level awesome and... I do plan to get one after a pricedrop/inevitable slim version comes out.

They had some Sony guys come to where I work to show it off. From what I saw it was ok. Decent enough graphics (then again anythign looks good with a tiny screen). A few new features, such as using the camera to show a background for a fighting game. Clever but it's just a pointless gimmick at the end of the day much like the 3D feature on the new DS.

I'm just tired of Sony and Nintendo releasing new handheld consoles every few years in all honesty. I thought I might get the Vita for PSO2 but then I saw screenshots today for it and my god it looks hideous. Of course these pictures were stretched to appear on this website, but even still I think i'll give it a miss.

I've had some experience with the Vita and it is pretty neat, but the $250 - $300 price tag and the cost of each individual memory card is steep. The camera quality when comparing it to the 3DS is lack luster as it captures images at 720p while Nintendo fit in a camera that captures images at a higher resolution.

I would have gotten one by now if it wasn't for the somewhat low battery life. My PSP doesn't last as long as it used to on a single charge, but having it barely last longer than my PSP(4-5 hours) I'd rather wait it out until that improves. Also not all PSP games are compatible which is a turn off as I still play most of my PSP games currently.

Seriously, dat gimmick. D:

Spoilers: Augmented Reality sucks.

I tried one out at Target and Bestbuy.

Overall it's a great piece of hardware. Modnation wouldn't start though, but Gravity Rush and Uncharted played well and looked good.

My main problem with it other than price though is that it's huge and the thumbsticks didn't really give as much resistance as I like.

So I'm sort of in this weird position where the thumbpads of the 3ds give too much resistance, while the PS Vita gives not enough.

Overall the Vita's screen I was using also has a few smudges on the screen and it was a little reflective from what I remember. Also I don't like the small start and select buttons, and they are sort of embedded into the thing so pushing them is a bit of a pain since I lack nails.

When better games come out for it then I might think of getting one. But for now I'm just preparing for the large rush of 3DS games that are coming out.
