I went by Gamestop today and their demo model is gone. I wonder what happened.

@d21lewis I probably got a glitch or people have dirtyed the system to pure uglyness.

It got jacked or broken.

I should check my local GS to see if this isn't common. I kind of want to try the Gravity Rush demo anyway.

I finally played a Vita at Best Buy. I wasn't impressed by what I played.

First, the screen isn't as beautiful as claimed to be and no it wasn't because there was a few fingerprints on the screen either. If I had to choose between a seem-to-be HD OLED screen and a glasses-free 3D screen(Nintendo 3DS). I would choose 3D anyday simply because I notice the difference and it works as it should.

Next, the buttons feel cheap and too close together(at least the X button and the down d-pad button). I didn't really feel the games I played using these small buttons. They should've made them bigger. The analog sticks worked as should, but they don't travel far so I felt that when I moved the character they could actually have time to walk to run. But, I didn't feel that. Also, they are small.

The games I played were Gravity Rush, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and Welcome Park. I really didn't like the load times in the games. It shouldn't take that long to load especially if it's on a game card. The graphics didn't impress me either. There not as beautiful as you would see them on a video, which is ironic because whenever I watch a 3DS game on video it would look better when I played it in motion. I will say that the touch screen wasn't as tedious as I thought it would be, but the rear touch pad remains to be questioned since I gripped the system with my fingers on the pad. I tried holding it differently, but I didn't like the other feel.

I can't really say anything about Gravity Rush. I wasn't diffcult and it was easy to grasp the controls. I didn't feel the combat in the game and the boss battle was too easy. I expect the game to be much more diffcult in the final version.

Uncharted remains to be one series I can't see the praise. I just didn't like playing it and the touch controls were unresponive.

Welcome Park is Welcome Park, that's it.

Overall, I didn't like the system and was unimpressive by what I played. I know many of you will say that I'm a Nintendo fan and i'm saying this to downgrade the system and I will not disagree with you. I am a Nintendo fan. But, I will not say that my experince is lie in anyway. This is in fact my opinon of what I felt.

*kind of agrees with some points*
*Gets to the part about the 3DS's 'superior' screen*

stopped reading there, bro.  

I own the system, I've already put in 50+ hours with it, and while I Agree there's no excuse for load times (seriously) and I'm worried about the buttons being too close, the screen is absolutely gorgeous.  

It's weird!

I don't like it, it's too unergonomical.

It's sleek, the buttons feel cool, and the quality looks really good, but it doesn't feel durable to me (like like my GBA SP or DS), and I never liked playing with the screen between my hands. Makes sense for shooters, but I still wish the screen folded.

Waiting for a 3DS redesign.

Tried it a Gamestop last week. It was comfortable and light. The Analog Stick are small but light and comfortable.
I tried the Uncharted of course I tried to see if i will get into it better than the console ones which I hate all 3. It kinda like it better. The navigation is quick but stupid.

One thing I hate is the fact that the games don't tell on screen when touch screen is needed. The start screen on Uncharted has nothing display saying use touch screen I was pressing x like 5 time until I touch the screen to get started. The use of the touch screen is dumb.

I played it at game stop today and my first thought was "wow that looks slick" and then when I grabbed it I thought "wow this feels cheap" lol

The buttons were definitely small but they were solid, unlike the PSP, which I like.

Not gunna lie I wasn't blown away by uncharted, but thats probs because im currently playing through U3 and that game is stunning.

Wipeout was fun but more of the same.

Good to see there are overall good impressions, I might have one in my hands sometime next week =).

You prefer the 3DS screen not because it looks better but because you think 3D sans glasses is impressive. Knowing how simple it is and only going off of looks you can't deny the Vita looks better.

The rest are at least ok opinions so I will not bother arguing them.
