I loved the size, it felt like I was holding 300 bucks. I think Uncharted Golden Abyss looks about as good as the first Uncharted.. Wipeout also looks stunning.

You didn't use the 2nd analog stick!? I took to that baby like a duck to water.

I used it when I needed to, but kept forgetting it was there. In Gravity Rush, you are given the option of using the stick or motion sensing to aim and I preferred the motion sensing. I wouldnt say UGA looks as good as UC1. It has alot of jagged edges and isnt as smooth as the first game was. Its very apparent when looking at the character models. Theres no comparison for me

Gravity Rush seems like a game built for motion sensor tech. I wouldn't want to play Uncharted or Wipeout with just motion controls, lol.

I knew I should have waited. Oh well.

I'm very on the fence about Vita. It corrects some problems I had with the PSP, but leaves others. Technologically it's the best pure gaming handheld ever IMO. It adds the second analog stick I wish the original PSP had, adds in 2 touchscreens (1 alone kicked ass on the DS), and adds 3G to make every aspect of it feel completely portable. Plus the graphic boost is nice.

However my biggest gripe with the original PSP was that no games solidly hooked me. That's not to say there weren't great games, but they felt like console-lites. I started to wonder why I should set around playing a lesser graphic and featured game when my PS3 was a few feet away with a similar game. In the end I was using my PSP more for it's various functions than gaming. Where Nintendo handhelds have games like Pokemon, and Scribblenauts that offer gameplay I can't get on a console.

To be honest, I don't travel far all that much, and never take a portable to work anymore. So while I like portables, they mainly get they're use at home for me.Uncharted does look amazing though, and the touchscreen should add something unique to gameplay. I'm leaning towards waiting for a Slim and price drop though.

 

[Benstamania]

I seriously don't know how much slimmer the thing could get.

 

[Nathan]

Maybe not slimmer, but I hope later models will add things like HDMI output, so I can connect it to my TV.

 

[Benstamania]

That would be nice.. I will just hope if that ever happens that Gamestop will give me good trade value so I could upgrade.

 

[KALEL114]

FYI. If you preorder the WiFi version and a 4gb Memory Card from Amazon, you will get the Memory Card for free. Just add both to your cart and when you check out, you will receive a promotion discount toward the Card.

 

[Havok83]

I seriously don't know how much slimmer the thing could get.

they'd downsize it like they did with the Go, DS Lite, etc... The thing is judge and there's definetly room to make it smaller

 

[Benstamania]

I think it's a perfect hand size. Dang tiny handed people ruining everything.

PS: the Vita has been advertised like crazy during Monday Night Raw.

 

[EML420]

Im going to get my Vita at Target if you buy a Vita there you get a free 4 gig memory card (while supplies last). Im not sure what im going to buy im getting Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom for sure but my orginial plan was to get MvC and a 16 gig memory card.
But theres a starter kit its 40 bucks and comes with a 4 gig memory card and a carrying case and headphones. But if I do get lucky and get a free 4gig memory card buying the kit might seem pointless.
Ahhh choices I really want a 16 gig memory card I want the space.

 

[Superhero 101]

I got a $50 dollar gift card from gamestop to get my 16 gb memory card. Ugh tomorrow will be such a slow day for me... But can't wait for Wed. I'm skipping class to get my Vita on Wed Accounting can kiss my @$s

I think the size of the PSP 2000 is a perfect size. Id welcome a future version shrinking it down to that size. The Vita as it is, is huge

 

[Benstamania]

To you, it's huge. To me and many others I know it's a perfect size.

It can still go in your pocket just fine. That's why I don't want to wait, because Sony probably will buckle and make some weird feeling little thing that will cramp my hands up.

I hope they don't.. Same with the 3DS.. Enough with the redesigns.. If a redesign includes and HDMI port, gorilla glass, ext.. OK. A redesign just to make it smaller is pointless, IMHO.

 

[Benstamania]

I don't mean to come off as some jerk who makes fun of midgets or whatever, I just hate when companies scale things down.

 

[Sparta*]

Im definitely warming up to my vita, played umvsc3 for hours over the weekend, the best part is how smooth it runs

Redesign is happening and would be naive to not expect one. Slimmer versions of consoles, especially handhelds almost always come and that's bc there is large demand for that and they tend to sell well. You may think its the perfect size but Sony will most likely release a smaller models to appeal to those who prefer that

 

[WolfCypher]

The DSi XL was the exception to these redesign rules; they made their system fatter.

 

[Electro UK]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand it's out in the UK!

Of course, I still have another 9 hours until I can actually get it, but it's out all the same.

 

[KALEL114]

Lucky. I am going to have to wait a few days since I got it that low price from Lockerz. I've waited this long, a few extra days won't kill me. [BLACKOUT]It actually will kill me.[/BLACKOUT]

Make sure to let us know your first impressions Jamie.

 

[Benstamania]

Well.. a day before release and I cancel my reservation.. for no real reason really. I want one, I do.. but right now I feel like there are a few games I let go (Uncharted 3 being one of them) that I want to catch up on before jumping on the Vita.

I hope it does well.. and by summer gets a nice price drop.

 

[Superhero 101]

Well it's out!! Atleast on the eastern side... still have another 10 hours before i actually get mine.

 

[EML420]

New game plan lol if im lucky enough to get a free 4gb memory card at Target with my Vita then im going to do there get 2 get one 1 free UMvC and Uncharted and Ninja Gaiden. But if all fails then im going with the orginial plan Vita 16gb and UMvC lol.

 

[KALEL114]

Gotta admit, I'm impressed. They promised Twitter, Netflix, and Flickr day one; and they delivered. Can't wait to get mine in.

 

[Sparta*]

hopefully the psn store will have the UMVSC3 DLC available now so I can get it on my vita
