So yeah, it turns out I bought a Vita last week.
The two most jarring things first:
The OS
I'm still nothing less than stunned about the smoothness and intuitivity of it all. I've been a PS3 gamer since launch and compared to the Vita OS it's just shite. It's a lot closer to the new PS4 OS.
The ergonomy
I've spent more time appreciating and navigating the menues than actually playing with it. Reason for that is the akward shape of it. I haven't found a comfortable hand position where I can control all buttons without shifting my hands. Most notably are the frighteningly short shoulder buttons which I can't really use because my fingertips are reaching well beyond them. Also the analog sticks are quite fidgety. I greatly prefer the design of those on the PSP.
That said I will probably stay clear of games that require a lot of skill controlling them.
I bought the Tearaway bundle on the Cyber Monday week on Amazon for 130€ which I thought was quite a bargain since I always had my eye on it and it should help me to get even more out of my PS4 with it.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
