Great overall unit, though it needs some work.

The Vita is absolutely packed full of features, and I love it. I have never ran into any freezing issues, and the other problems I've read about such as squeaky triggers, one trigger being harder to push than the other, or the rear touch pad not working 1/2 the time when it boots. My unit runs flawlessly! The only complaint speed-wise I have is the Netflix app, which takes a long time to start up and load the menu with all the movies, though that is Netflix's programmers fault. I was a little upset that the FaceBook, Foursquare, and Skype weren't available on launch, but every app promised has now been released except for Skype which I am still eager to use. When I leave my house, the Vita has no issues changing over to 3G without notifying me or anything which is great, and it will automatically ask to connect to a wifi point if some are in range and you are on 3G and trying to do something that uses data. Another plus! I opted for the 250MB plan, as I'm almost always in range of Wifi, and so far I've only used roughly 15MB since the 22nd of February. Wifi and 3G speeds are great, no complaints. Connects to WPA2 networks, unlike the PSP! Sixaxis seems a little more precise than on my Dualshock 3 controller. Cameras on the Vita are terrible, but at least the photos AND the video are in 640x480. Some devices capture higher pictures than video. The touch screen works really well, but not as well as Apple's touchscreens in the iOS devices. Can't wait for my free PSN game! Everyone should get a Vita if you like Sony
READ ME this is very helpful if ur deciding on buy

your looking for the ultimate gameing device and this is it for sure graphics are great touch controls are amazing tilt controls are super responsive. but you cant watch you tube or any type of video with the browser there is no phone capabities and no video chat! 3g is pretty much a waste if you have home internet then go with wifi. it lacks in everything but great games and thats what it is made for.

I bought this console a little while after gamestop said that they were taking preorders. So I got the 3g because I knew I would be playing on the go alot, and more in the summer. I also preordered uncharted and later bought little devients because it looked pretty fun. They both are great games and I am hoping to buy Mortal Kombat when it comes out. If you would like to add me on psn my name is bmstc32.

First of all id like to say that this system surpassed my expectations which were very high to begin with, having to analog sticks is truly a step forward, the OLED screen is just perfect, the only thing i can complain about is the lack of monster hunter, but im pretty sure there will be one later on, this thing was made with true gamers in mind, no gimmick silliness, just pure awesome graphics, nice controls,and geat size for the screen, just beautiful, I have to tell people that they should give this a 10 even if they should rate this an 8 or 9 because there are some people giving this a 1, im just saying this so the overall is better and those people who give this a 1 are using the touchpad in the back as the sceern,(turn it around people thats the touch pad)
