Agreed. I bought the Black Friday bundle because the deal was so good.
I haven't yet played the system -- it's still en route -- so take my opinion with a grain of salt. But as of November 2012 there aren't many convincing reasons to purchase a Vita for $250. There are some highly-rated games, but many of them are available elsewhere. I'm most excited to play Gravity Rush, Wipeout, and a couple others. Luckily the bundle includes access to those and more.
The biggest problem is still those awful memory cards, which are just unacceptably expensive. And the system -- again, grain of salt -- has no killer app. As far as I'm concerned, Super Mario 3D Land proves the usefulness of 3D on the 3DS, and is just a terrific game to boot. Vita doesn't have its own Mario 3D Land.
I would recommend you wait for another bundle deal, or a permanent price cut.
