Ok, so I have about 470 some odd dollars of amazon gift card saved up on my account. Bought some books, a new watch, and still has this much left. I am thinking about getting the Vita for this Xmas, so I can play at night when I am on call and the hospital is quiet.

So if i get it around the end of this year (Black friday or so); i am expecting some sort of bundle or discount.

What games would you guys recommend, I am thinking:

1. LBP Vita (it's a game within a game, hopefully user generated content can help fill in time gaps of new release)

2. Gravity Rush (Heard good things and apperantely sold enough for them to THINK about making a second one)

3. Uncharted GA (still on the fence, may get a used copy)

4. Rayman Origin (looks like it can be fun, may get a used copy)

5. Soul Sacrifice (when it comes)

6. Persona
  • You can buy LBP for PS3 for cheap now. (its not the same but close enough and as said is alot cheaper)
  • Gravity Rush is the only game on Vita that seems to be really awesome.(right now)
  • Uncharted on Vita is the worst Uncharted game that exists  so this should not be the reason why one should buy a vita.
  • Rayman Origins also exists on PC 360 PS3 and looks better there and is cheaper.
  • Soul Sacrifice  as you said when it comes. So you could have not mentioned it at all because it has nothing to do with the term NOW.
  • Persona is also available on PS2 for cheap. And can be played on PC in HD with an emulator. (not the same but again close enough)

(I know you cant take your PS2 or PS3 with you but think about it  will you play a role playing game in a hospital? This is more something for games like tetris etc games that consume less time)

So I dont think now is not the time to buy a vita. 
The time to buy a Vita is when the price dropped and a ton of games are out.  Lets say the vita will flop and not alot of games will come out  you wasted alot of money.  Sure if noone buys the Vita because it is still struggling it will automatically kill it but its up to you if you want to risk "losing" money or not. If you buy one go and buy a used one its cheaper.

I would wait for a price drop but again its up to you  just ask yourself if you really need one NOW. Or if you can wait  and if the answer is  I CAN WAIT then you know its not the time to buy one right now. Dont just buy stuff because you want to buy stuff.

I bolded his reason he's thinking of a Vita. So all your its cheaper on console arguments hold no water.

Now for games...hmmmm... psp games + psone classics + minis + psmobile + vita games + psn games = tons and tons  of games that can be played on the Vita...there goes your other argument.

or maybe he could just by a 3Ds and play a bunch of shovelware... yeah.. thats a better choice.

Good to know you cant read my friend. Who said he should buy a 3ds? You feel hurt by what I said and defend for no reason other than misinterpretation and because someone said something not positive about the vita.

About the cheaper thing etc.  guess why I said sure you cant take a PS2 or PS3 into a hospital etc? Being in a hospital and waiting for work  is nothing you can do while playing RPGs where you cant just quit when you are needed etc.  Thats why I was talking about  games that consume less time like mobile phone games. (Seriously Tetris is no nintendo exclusive I thought people would know this by now... )

And buying a 200+  or a 100  or even 50 dollar console just to play games while you wait for work is not the best idea because you miss out on the  games that stand out the most. Games that can be played in small game sessions dont require you to buy a new system.

So this defeats the purpose of the vita or 3ds or whatever in this specific case.  I mean if he has a PSP DS he should take those and some puzzler or whatever or just use his phone   and not buy a 3ds or Vita solely for playing the handheld at work where he cant really concentrate on the games and needs to stop playing those when he is needed.

It just proves my point that buying the Vita just for this reason alone is actually unnecessary and thats why its not time to buy a vita.
