I am actually starting to get quite concerned about the Vita. Sony is making so many great decisions, but they have made 2 huge mistakes

1. No built in storage

They have decided to use expensive proprietary cards, but they are pushing digital so much! They have said almost all the games are going to be digital, but how big are they going to be? How many will we be able to store? I am concerned that I will be getting my Vita on launch, then on top of the console, having to buy a 32GB memory stick so that I can play digital games, which brings me onto my second point

2. Price

This thing is far too expensive. In the UK, it is £230 for the cheapest model, compared to around £190 for a PS3, and even less for all the other consoles, it is just ridiculous (for the record, the PSP started at £180). I am sure the case is the same elsewhere, but this is an easily fixable issue, the other one is not...

But on the plus side, the games look great!


 The UK price will drop, as i said before the 3DS was £230 at 'launch' and everyone who pre-ordered it paid that. But a few weeks later it was £160 - £180, the retailers just set the price high for launch as the fact is some people will pay it. I'd expect the UK will see a ~£180 Vita bundle with a memory card and / or a game.

 This high launch price gauging happens with all consoles in the UK too... my mate got his PS3 for £600 from play.com, literally the next day it was £425. Same with X360 prices... only thing which didnt drop was the WIi cause they never had any stock lol.

Well that is still annoying for me, as I can't possibly wait an extra few months for this!

As for the PC storage of games, that does seem okay, though it would be SO much better with built in storage
