I would say the Vita, although the expensive memory cards are a huge con for me. Hopefully Sony decides to sell some bundles, so the prices become less outrageous.

The price of Vita itself, everywhere outside North America, is pretty outrageous. It costs £230 ($363) to the 3DS' £140 ($221), where in America, it is $250 to $170.

Some markup is normal, due to import prices and higher sales taxes, so the 3DS' price is fine, but charging damn near an extra 50% is not okay. I hope that Sony realises that soon.

Yeah, it is pretty expensive in the UK. Still, the 3DS launched at £230 as well, and that came down in price fairly fast if I recall correctly.

The outrageous prices I was reffering to were those of the memory cards though. I want to buy games from the PS Store, so needing to buy some super expensive memory card isn't really ideal. :/
