PS+ is a great service, but on Vita it's less than stellar. In the many months I've been a Vita owner, I've played only three great or near-great games: Gravity Rush, Wipeout 2048, and Retro City Rampage, the last of which is available elsewhere. As a PS3 owner, I'm quite happy with the selection on PS+. As a Vita owner, I'm not very happy at all.

But back to Scisca's point: Vita gaming is less expensive than 3DS gaming. I guess that's true if you rely solely on the games offered on PS+, although you have to add in the subscription costs and the costs of memory cards. But, personally, I would much rather spend a little more for the system with the bigger and better library (3DS in this case) than spend a little less and play only what Sony decides to give me on a monthly basis.

I disagree. I really liked Uncharted, Dokuro, and Virtue's Last Reward and there's several PSP games that meant for Vita owners as well.

Also, even without PS+, Vita gaming is cheaper. Sales happen far more often they do on eShop.

Maybe so, but again you're limited to what Sony puts on sale and then stuck with a digital copy (not my preference, but I know others don't mind).

I will say that I've spent a lot less on my Vita than my 3DS, but that's largely because there aren't many must-have games for Vita right now. I own one physical copy of a Vita game -- Assassin's Creed, which came with the bundle -- and the rest via download voucher or PS+. Meanwhile, I've invested in about 15 3DS titles and a few eShop games. So I guess 3DS can be more expensive, but that's because it has more to offer me as a consumer.
