not kidding you my local walmarts stations have been either removed since 2009 and or rrod'd -360
and gamestop is a new store , just opened recently fairly small in size not much room for all those display thingys this is a small town , well compared to palmbeach ,. also the walmart took theirs down due to breaking down and kids abusing the guitars in the 360 demo casing also the 360 it self was rrod'd not much i need to explain , so no im not kidding you we didnt even get a midnight launch in idaho gamestop . walmart obviously has theirs at midnight all the time but again i went in there today and not one person was even bothering with the vita 's and they again like the psp situation they only had very little vita games they did not even get todays releases at all ,
this walmart is notorious for that like for instance i go looking for ps3 version or ds version of bloodstone neither copy was available yet they had the 360 version for the longest time and they got driver renegade 4 weeks late
thus why i use gamestop almost more then often ,
point is if you want to demo somthing over here youll need to drive 60 miles plus away to the bigger cities (twin falls or boise)
and now since i got my vita my first impressions well heres the pros and cons
pros-
dual analog
nice cameras and screen
slightly better visuals then the nintendo 3ds but its not noticable by much when i compared asphalt 3d to ignition , uh uh sorry ubi that was a fail ,
video cameras
some decent games-asphalt uncharted modnation racers
cons
-4 hour -5 hour battery life-thats a given though i had not let the battery die yet i watched a youtube video using the same game im playing and it cut off 30 minutes shy of 5 hours
the placment of the x and the 2nd analog ---too close when i was playing asphalt i had a hard time because the joystick was always getting pressed so i use the r button in that case from now on also the small buttons -start select- those always annoyed me on the psp i just hope these aint gonna do what the psp did - i had un responsive buttons on psp 1000 quite a few times , i just wish these two buttons in particular wasn't so small
menu navigation- why do i have to use the touch screen with buttons present , - thats a con i hope they fix via a update
again on the screen um smudges smears -- ya just like my dart/mytouch phones. i just hate that constantly wiping it down also when i first got mine it was dusty as heck litterally like the company did not insulate the boxes
not related to the system but the packaging , and printed material --- you mean to tell me they took 5 sheets of charmin ultrasoft ? thats became the norm , i bought sims 3 pets and forza 4 last xmas , omg . i pulled out this small instruction manual 4 pages long , well the vitas is 8 pages but ugh . and then theres the normal manual - why did they include 2 manuals 1 was enough . ill take that toilet paper one and shred it .
and when we get into the games them selfs -nice cases small , slim but wheres the instructions why am i paying 30-50 bucks without an instruction manual they should deduct 5 bucks at least for every vita game cause they dont use paper
that later is my main concern
but overall pretty solid in deed does need software . after going through the list today not many of those interisted me asphalt and modnation and uc were the only ones. i thought i would get ridge racer but ---- you tell me is 3 tracks and 5 cars worth it ?
