Don't compare systems
Posted 9/14/12
The ps vita is a great system, but you can't compare it to the 3DS. They are two completely different systems with different functionality. Some comparisons made by ShayShay are inaccurate. The 3DS also has Netflix, a wonderful working and competent web browser, two cameras (that can take 3D photos, record 3D video, and send 3D data. The 3DS does have only one analog stick but most games don't need it, (and if you prefer two analog sticks, there are two devices that can add the extra analog sticks). I own BOTH systems, and BOTH systems have their strengths and weaknesses. If you have the money to get both (Or the money to buy one and put the other system on your wishlist so you can get someone to get you the other as a gift like I did), get both. Both systems are great for different things, and both systems are backwards compatible (for the vita, any games that you may have bought on your previous psp if you had one, you can download again on your vita, and even download & play some ps1 games on it). Both systems have some AWESOME exclusive games, so if you don't have to choose, don't.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
So I never really write reviews, but I feel like this product deserves one. First, to explain the scores you see above. Performance: I give it a 10 because it does what you expect it to do. The system itself is very easy to get used to. The display and graphics are absolutely phenomenal. With it, I got Uncharted and downloaded the Rayman Origins demo. The system performs really well. It lived up to my expectations. Value: I think this is a tricky one. The system itself, I think, is worth the $300 price tag it's being sold for.. mainly because of what it can do. Granted, the games are pricey and over time it's going to cost you a huge investment. But it gives you what your mobile phone does, except on a larger screen. With the 3G, you browse the internet quite easily, you communicate with people on your friends list, and come February 22nd, you will be able to use social applications with it like Facebook and Twitter. Now, there's another side to the "value" aspect. Whether you WANT to spend $350 on this bundle is completely up to you. Keep in mind, though, that you will probably end up getting a case for it. You'll most probably get a memory card for it. AND you'll probably want to play Little Deviants. I wanted the game because it shows what the system is capable of; kind of like why I got Pilotwings for the 3DS when I got it the night it came out. If you're looking for the wi-fi version, you're better off saving the money and waiting for launch. But if, like me, you wanted to get the 3G system and you know you're trying to get a case and such, then this is a decent deal. The price will probably drop within a matter of months, but I didn't want to take the chance and wait. AND my local GameStop had extra units of this and I didn't pre-order it so I got it. If you're able to find an extra unit at your local GameStop, GET IT if you don't mind spending the extra $50. And as it stands, like I said earlier, you're probably going to spend that $50 separately, anyways. So for value, if you're INTERESTED in what it gives separately, it's better to get it via this First Edition Bundle. Functionality: the main menu is very fluid. It's easy to get around. Seems kind of weird and iam sure they could have done better.. but for what it's worth, I like it. I have no problem with it. Battery is whatever; I don't sit for hours and play games, though.. so you might not like it. Turn off network data and battery will last longer; obviously. And as it stands, you're not going to need it on all the time. Does the system have problems? Sure. It collects dirt very quickly, the screen is glass so the glare is absolutely ridiculous wherever you are. It's lighter than I thought it would be, which is a plus. When you're holding it, the touch pad gets in the way on the back and it takes some getting used to. For example, when iam playing Uncharted, my fingers will slide against the back touch panel and I'll randomly slide down a rope or something. So it takes some getting used to. Another problem is that the menu and so far most of the gameplay literally does NOT allow you to use the directional pad. It's there for a reason and so far, I haven't been able to use it; not in game menus, not going through options, nothing. It's kind of upsetting, but iam sure it will be worked out in the future. You should get a screen protector; just in case. The one that comes with the PS Vita Starter Kit for $39.99 is AMAZING. I put it on perfectly and nothing is wrong with it. No bubbles, nothing. The system has room for improvement, but my rating gives respect to what I think about the system right now. It's all about instant gratification, and buying the system early and paying the extra $50 definitely gave it to me. Hope this helps! :)

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
Okay I would like to start off by saying that the PS Vita had me fooled. When I first saw this thing a year ago, I honestly thought it was a dumb idea. Then I watched so many videos of it and had to have it. I brought the first edition bundle because I couldn't wait. I had my vita for some time name and can honestly say that this is for responsible 16 years and up. This is a delicate piece of hardware. It is very cool to have a handheld that seems just like a console on the go. The only problem I had was when I tried to turn it off but the light was still one. It eventually went off and only had that problem once. If you are looking for a cool Teen/Young Man to play games with feel free to Add me kingbj_1. The games I have right now are Little Deviants(obvious), Uncharted: Golden Abyss(Beat already), Wipeout, and UMVC3. Overall, this device is just amazing and spectacular in every way. The camera, I would say, is pretty bad but if your just using it for augmented reality, its pretty cool. So I give this system a 10/10

Few days late, but oh well, all I can say is awesome little package. I got uncharted, hot shot golf, wipeout, and lumines besides devients in the FEB version. Oh and I did get the 32gb card(ouch on the wallet) best investment. And did get a screen protector.
Waiting on the 22 when I hope PS vita is alive with more things to come!

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
The First Edition Bundle does not come with the advertised Data Session Pass. The normal 3g/wifi launch bundle is a way better buy. Little deviants isn't that great and the case is whatever. It comes with a 4gb memory card and the 3g/wifi launch edition comes with an 8gb memory card + a free game and a Data Session Pass. The thing is pretty expensive for a portable, it is pretty ridiculous. The games that are out right now are nothing special. It is definitely not worth it's price but it is an amazing handheld gaming system. I have heard that the device is not powerful enough and fps dips in some parts of games. The memory cards are way too expensive also. It has really neat features but I find in games where you can use them I prefer to use the default buttons and analog sticks over tilting and touching for ease. Don't get me wrong I love my vita but I find I will have to wait a year for me to really enjoy using it. Tax is way too much and you could probably save money buying the vita and games online. I ended up coughing out $600 for my first edition bundle+5games. The merits of buying a launch vita though is they are usually the ones that get custom firmware on them.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
The $349.99 price was a tad high but well worth the investment. Id like to thank a well informed gamestop employee for that, When I finally received my own PS Vita I got to work and played with the features it offered. There was no joke when it came to six axis motion sensors, front/back cameras, responsive touchscreen/backscreen, and a nice 5 inch OLED monitor to add to the awesomeness. The graphics were amazing and up to date with our next gen consoles. I had no problems loading up the complimentary Little Deviants game and that game was a blast! It was like its own Little Big Planet genre that fully utilizes the PS Vita's capabilities! Ive heard others complain that its not "fully portable" but theres no problem leaving it charged while you play or just playing it for a few hours. I really dont want to over use such a expensive device. The Vita has alot of potential to add applications like Facebook, Youtube, Google, etc etc and I have no doubt in my mind that they will add more to it. Also if anyone is really reading my review and ever get one of these sweet Vita's dont forget to update your handheld! You can not only take pictures with your camera but record video as well(why didnt it just do both in the first place? Your guess is as good as mine). I just got this yesterday and only put 1 hour into playing with it but today im going to really spend time and observe the other functions of this handheld.

Ok, so I got my vita yesterday. Was so excited to play it and it does not disappoint, I was glued to it for hours. Only games for it I have right now are little deviants and the super stardust dlc you could get for $10. Both are really great games and had me playing the vita all day.

This is the Best Handheld ever! It plays HD Games! It also plays movies! It can do 3G! It is so better than Ipod! I love my 3DS but this is so better! But one thing I hate is no 3D! You can buy free games and it is the best thing to do AR games! It like a handheld PS3 with no 3D!
