How exactly do you rate 3DS battery life then? Non-existant? It is quite a bit better battery-wise.

If you play games that are equivalent of 3DS games (graphically) it lasts much more.

How exactly do you rate the 15h DS battery life then?  (has as much to do with the Vita as your comment)

Good that you go and defend the Vita so blindly.    The Vita somewhat tries to be a PS3  and therefore it is a PS3 with shitty battery life.   The 3ds doesnt try to be something else like the Vita does. So saying the 3DS is a Wii or whatever with shitty battery life makes no sense here right? Especially when the threads topic is the vita.
Thanks.

Call the Vita whatever the hell you want, it's still a handheld like the 3DS, and it's battery life is roughly the same. It's a valid comparison and he had every right to bring it up.

Now we are already at people defending other people defending their precious  device ;)  (you clearly are upset since you cursed lol)

I know he had every right to say what he wants since he is a free perosn.   But  what was the point of that?   I mean the thread is about the Vita and opinions   I share my opinion about  not seing alot of portable games  but instead I see console style games like Uncharted.  A game which is a worse game than the PS3 Uncharted's. Then I see black ops and resistance both being shitty games and worse than their console counterparts.  Thats why I see the vita having some kind of identity problem. It is a portable gaming system but it somehow doesnt know it is. (sony even said it wanted the Vita to bring console gaming experiences to handheld systems)

Again what has the 3ds battery life to do with the vita? I mean the Vita battery life is shit  but having a 3ds with shitty battery life doesnt magically make the Vita have unshitty battery life. Why do you even compare the two here? Again what is the point of this other than fighting the 3ds and defending the vita?

I just mentioned the 3ds DS and PSP  so people  see that I play portable gaming devices nothing else. And I mentioned the PS3 since the Vita somewhat tries to be a PS3.

So I stated why I dont have a vita and the only thing I get are off-topic replies.....  that argue my opinion LOL. (wont work)

The way I see it I didnt do anything wrong (other than daring to criticize a holy sony product)  I said why I dont own a Vita (might change in the future) I even praised Gravity Rush as a game that makes me want a Vita. Mentioned why I dont have one yet (it has a personality disorder ^^)

P.S I could also have said the Vita is a PS3 with shittier graphics    would you then go and defend it and say the 3ds has even shittier graphics? Thats not the point of my sentence since the 3ds doesnt try to be a Ps3 or Wii  it has its own identity well   not really since its some kind of DS  but thats okay since both have the same purpose/heritage. 
So yeah in this case comparing the Vitas graphics to the 3ds would make as much sense as comparing the Vita to a pencil because the graphics or the battery life or being a pencil or not  clearly has no impact on my decision to buy the Vita or not.  The Vita identity problem is the reason why I dont buy a Vita and thats what I said. 

Can we move on now?

You simply said that Vita has a shitty battery life. I said that its battery life is class-leading and to prove my point, I said that its battery life is better than 3DS. The point is not a comparison, it is that your point is simply wrong. Get it?  I don't attack you, I just show you you are wrong. Do you also think that Mercedes cars have shitty safety or Ferrari cars are slow as hell too?

I've considered purchasing it, but in the end decided against it. With barely enough time to play 360 or PC, it would just collect dust on my shelves or in my bag. As I usually read on the tube, and none of the games besides gravity rush and uncharted really appealed to me. I just don't see it as a worthwhile investment at the present, and battery life is pretty abysmal by my standards, but then again, I think the same of my phone and iPad too, and both have sub 20 hours battery life of consistent use (iPad 3 and lumia 900)



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

No. You can't criticise one platform and defend the other when they both suffer from the same problem (not that it's even a problem, batteries just simply haven't advanced as fast as other technology).

You replied to my single sentence with an off-topic rant, several paragraphs long, and you generalised and provoked SONY fans. You might want to re-evaluate who is being defensive here.

See bolded if you can't understand what's wrong with your post.



Quick question - Is vita region locked?



3DS FC :  4339 - 3326 - 7693. Add me :) Nickname Tin

I am at the brink of buying a VITA just for Uncharted and Assassins Creed. But I haven't even finished my PSP backlog and after the last generation I hesitate to buy a new console in the first years. I am somehow expecting that there will be a remodelling soon and that accompanied with a price cut.

Yesterday I already had the AC Bundle in my shopping basket on Amazon but I didn't like the Idea of only having a download voucher. I am not a big fan of digital download. I don't know, maybe I should just wait for another year until some more games are available. I hope that Square-Enix will support the VITA... they brought some amazing games like Birth by Sleep, Dissida and Crisis Core to the PSP.

I only play Nintendo handhelds, yet I also don't have a 3DS...yet.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
