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


If you want a excellent portable then get the Vita. The quality of the build is next to none. The 3ds XL looks cheap and plastic compared to it. 

There are a huge amount of games available for it right now. A gigantic selection of PSN and PSP games with the new edition of playstation mobile means you will never be stook for amazing games to play. 

Assasins Creed liberation looks amazing too. I agree with guys on this, the Ps Vita is the cool thing to hate right now. 

You never lose an oportunity to take a jab at the 3DS. Never.

Have you tried the 3ds XL yet? I have and I prefere my 3ds. Better build quality except the screen is obviously better on the 3ds Xl.

I have both versions of the 3DS. I like the built of the XL more. I think the only advantage the 3DS XL screen has over the original 3DS is the size. I don't know but it looks to me that the XL screen has little yellow tone. I got the XL because the original gave me a terrible pain in my hands. 


This is also a problem with the 3ds, sometimes it gives cramps. If you have used the Ps Vita before you can clearly see which console has the better build quality. 

I like the XL better because it doesn't end up with smeared fingerprints all over the place that I have to constantly wipe off all the time, and well, the screen is bigger. I don't think the Vita has a better "built" quality, I think it has a more comfortable design to hold, which was a major problem with the 3DS, the XL is a little better since it's bigger but Vita is still better to hold. My problems with the Vita are:

1.) How it's priced after you take into consideration the ridiculous price of the proprietary memory cards at 32GB(it's mind boggling when Class 10 Micro SD 32GB cards can go as low as 19 USD)

2.) The number of actual good games compared to the competition present and in the years to come, If you compare my played time of my DS and my PSP, it wasn't even a competition, and it'd just fall into the same thing again if I get the current Vita. Even if you compare the currently known games, it's really no comparison and it's all about the games at the end of the tunnel. List of Known Vita Games on Wiki, Please update if anybody sees any left out btw, it hasn't been updated since the end of August- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Vita_games and this is the list of 3DS games- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_3DS_games 

 

Now, I'm not saying Vita is a bad piece of hardware, I don't even know wtf happened to Sony since the PS2 days and I'm personally an owner of a lot of Sony products. I've played some good amount of Vita since that's what friends are for, but I have no incentive to buy one, it's just not a good value, not ATM anyways.
