Psp vita

Is it worth it?
Ive wanted to buy this for a while before it even came out but now im thinking if i should buy it or not.
I seen ratings of 9/10 and stuff but i want your in put if you have used this system or know about it.
I got the money so if ya give me good or bad ratings ill probably still buy it after i come back from vaca.

Over-all its pretty good. The games are really detailed and almost on par with the PS3's early incarnations. The movies are all HD quality. The only downside is the touch screen which can be annoying at times, and the small clustered buttons. Given the second joystick, more of the games can be played the same as the PS3 games or the available games that are specifically for it, or the downloads that would require the second joystick.

So I would say it's worth it.

Thanks for your input and do you think the 3g is worth it?

I haven't been able to personally use it. I ordered it on Amazon while I was out here in Afghanistan, I haven't been able to use it, so I can't really give any advice on that aspect of the game.

It has long load times for flash memory :/.

Sony switched from the UMD to cartridges like the DS uses but, it didn't seem to change much because the load times are still long.

Oh i see ill probably get used to it i dont mind they would probably do some updates.

Its 75% better than the old psp's and I do recommend this if your looking for HD video and Gaming on the go, but i do suggest getting a spare memory card like an 8 GB or so.

Well it depends on what you want on the ps vita, But I recommend an 8 gb for more space for storage(Video's music games ect.) Expecially if you want to put Custom firmware on it with emulators for the nintendo 64, ps1 and possibly ps2(Hasn't been confirmed to work yet for ps vita but will soon) And many more game's will play on it, but only on Cfw.

Yep. cfw v1.60

I keep forgetting the PSP Vita even exists.

What a failed console.

I know something shouldn't just be judged on hype, but like I said - I keep forgetting it even exists. Nobody has one. Game developers aren't jumping over themselves to develop for it. It's not doing anything really ground breaking or newsworthy.

Sounds like the biggest waste of money.
