For people saying "All it has are watered down versions of PS3 games, so there's no reason to own a Vita":

1) That's not entirely true. LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, etc are not smaller versions of existing games on the PS3, they're brand new experiences. Many say the Vita LittleBigPlanet is the best one. In addition, some experiences you can only get on the Vita, like Gravity Rush or the upcoming Tearaway.

2) Are you able to play your PS3 on a plane? Do you take it with you in hotels? Do you hook up your PS3 in the car on long road trips?

Basically, the argument on the games being watered down PS3 games can be true for some of the "Vita versions", but to generalize it is a bit unfair. Also, the ability to have a console-quality experience on the go is appealing. I love to watch baseball, but it really cuts into my gaming time, so when a game is on, often I'll play my Vita while watching. I also travel for work sometimes or with my in-laws and wife to Florida, so having a great gaming experience when I'm away from home is great.

Yeah, Sony fans point to how great hardware is a lot, but damn...the Vita is a great piece of hardware. Incredibly powerful, great controls, being able to suspend my games and apps in memory, a fast OS, a beautiful screen, unbelievable battery life and a solid and sturdy build. I think it's worth every penny of $250, though yes, the memory cards are vastly overpriced.
