Congratulations you are the first person online to accept being a fanboy BUT... Hate to tell you this you are just a regular joe who just prefers sony, a fanboy would never consider a next brand lol. But foreal if you dont have already, im telling you ps Vita is WAY better then people make it seem. Especially if you have a ps3. You can put more on vita with ps3, remote play, crossbuy on stuff like sound shapes and ratchet as well as ps allstars. And the ability of the system itself is amazing. I was on party chat, 8 people, playing different games, i was playing Crimson Gem Saga, my friend playing FFVII, the rest were all together playing UMvC3 and i was on twitter same time and we all went on youtube same time and syncd out videos watching new trailers and showing stuff like the ff next gen tech demo. I also was playing music while taking pics and sending everyone in the party as well as all kinds of other things at the same time without system laging or being interrupted. You can play ANYthing and be in party chat. 3DS i guess get if your not into online or dont care for trophies because 3ds does have more at the moment. But i have both and ill say 3ds doesnt get much playtime and the friends list and messaging system in it is almost useless since you cant message while in a game. But it has a notes system you can use for notes in game like if you need to remember a code in game. But you can screenshot and save msgs and so on vita as well and you have fb, better netflix, twitter, youtube, skype and so on and getting crunchyroll and crackle so as well as some sony apps like teasure park and free tom blitz puzzle game and so on. BUT nothing bad bout 3ds, if you can wait, get the lbp vita on the 25th, for 250 you get lbp vita a mem card and vita which is normal vita price and overall paying 190 for vita technically. But if you want now 3ds will save you alot of money as long as your not trying to get the xl. I dont accept the xl, seeing 3ds is pretty pixelated after getting use to vita, imagine xl. Since its upscaled. But thats just me :) have fun which ever you get. I support nintendo and sony :)
