Does anyone know if you can push the analog sticks into the Vita when you're not using it? So when you're walking around with it in your pocket the analog sticks aren't moving around or break if you put in your backpack.

I personally would find the analog sticks moving up, down and side to side in my pocket kind of annoying.

Anyone else feel this way? Is analog design a deal breaker?

Put it in a case. Then put it in a bag? I'm sure it's going to be a tight fit in a pocket anyway.

I hope you can since I dont carry a bag around i'll have to shove it into my pocket

If your using a fabric case it can still move around. The only case you could use would be hard plastic, which doesn't seem like a good option to me... but I could be wrong.

I saw some of the developers had the NGP in their pocket during the Sony E3 press conference, so I thought it may not be that bad of a fit in your pocket.

Did you ever carry a PSP around in your pocket? That was already too big to comfortably fit in a pocket, and PSV is significantly larger. I doubt Sony has considered carrying it in your pocket whatsoever.
