Anyway, The Wi Fi version is sold out so This is really bad! Bomb I tell you! Bomba I tell you!

I saw the wifi version in stock yesterday (Monday, day 3 of Vita sales) when I went to check out some stores in my city.

I was thinking about trading in my psp and getting a wifi vita. Still unsure about it though.

I know it's only Amazon. XD

Yeah, I know, but I'm talking about actual Electronic/Game stores that also sell online. Like:

The first two, I was in their B&M stores as well yesterday.

 

Anyway, since I was mainly planning on using the Vita for videos and stuff like that(not games) I decided to buy a used Ipad 1 instead. I got a used 64gb ipad wifi/3g model for less than the price of a wifi Vita and 16gb sony card, or about the same price as the 3g Vita with no memory card. I still might sell my PSP though, depends on if I get a psp game for christmas or not.

I was planning on buying a vita just to use as a paperweight, but then I went outside, picked up a rock and glued a feather to it and it works just as well.

Seriously, why would you even think of buying a vita just for videos? That's like people buying an iphone just for angry birds.

People might actually buy an iphone just for a couple crappy games like angry birds.

The iphone isn't the best phone in regards to service.  Or at least it wasn't when only AT&T.  Then not to mention that whole antenna problem with havng your hand on the side. 

But you bring up the biggest POTENTIAL problem of the Vita, something the PSP suffered from forever.  And that is games.  I see in this topic many brought up Call of Duy.  Ha, first how has call of duty done in past on handhelds?  Second, why would someone get call of duty twice.  IF they already have the game on ps3 or 360, why get it on vita as well.   If Vita doesn't get a good catelog of UNIQUE games, they are in a world of hurt. 

What do they have worth getting right now?  Uncharted.  Is that it? 

From what I saw with PSP, the big system movers seemed to be Final Fantasy Disdea and Monster Hunter.  When or if any of those get announced, then will we see if Vita suceeds.  Everyones phone these days has 3G at minimum and can play videos, do crap load of media shit and even to an extenet play games.  Personally I can't stand to play any kind of traditional game on my phone, but some people seem to like it.  So would I ever get vita for its multimedia features?  Hell no.  Jus tlike the person you quoted, I would get the much better alternatives.  a BIGGER tablet, or else for portability a SMALLER phone.

Now as you said Vita is about GAMES.  Then bring on the games.  Dont' talk about games, when there are none.  3DS struggled cause of no games, now it rocking them and bringing out more and more all the time.  And you see its doing good.  I bet the 3DS isnt selling cause it now records 3D videos.  No its selling cause of mario 3d Land, Mario Kart, Resident Evil, ect.
