PSTV would be pointless as I need a portable device otherwise I can play my consoles, tho, so nope.

I thought your goal was to play games that weren't available anywhere else?

Is there really almost nothing I can get on Vita that having been a PS gamer my entire life hasn't already provided me?

(I'd recommend getting a Vita over a PSTV anyway, it's just your whole angle in interacting with me in this thread has been "give me games I can't get elsewhere" not "portability is important to me").

BraLoD said:

can you provide me some more insight on PSV games not on PS3/PS4 (can be on PC, DS, 3DS, whatever) and more PSP games compatible with it?

I can't really do the PSP compatibility for you unfortunately because that's just too mammoth of a job even for me. Just go onto the PS Store of whatever region you're from; go to the PSP tab and flick through the games. The ones compatible with Vita will have Vita flagged up on the listing.

If you're a US gamer there's an out-of-date but somewhat relevant list here:

But bear in mind games get removed from PSN all the time. The longer you wait; the fewer PSP games playable on Vita will be able to be downloaded. I can tell you Ace Combat: Joint Assault used to be on there but it's not anymore.

As for Vita games not on PS3/PS4, here's what I can come up with (that are somewhat decent and might interest you):

- Adventures of Mana
- Ar no Surge Plus has extra content on Vita not available in the PS3 version
- Atelier Rorona; Totori; Meruru; Ayesha; Escha & Logy; Shallie have extra content on Vita not available on the PS3 versions
- The Caligula Effect
- Civilization Revolution 2 Plus

If you're into importing and using guides I can give you like 5-10 more recommendations too lol.

That's just from a quick 10 minute sweep, there's probably more that I'm missing.

But honestly, if you don't mind me saying... it sounds like you just don't want a Vita. You keep putting up all these barriers and hoops you want the console to jump through before you buy one, and I get that it's an investment and you need to think about it but... buying a console should be fun. The hardware is as cheap as it's ever going to be now - price will only increase as they get rarer.

You should be thinking "yeah I really want to play xyz on it" and you've already listed games you want to play on it, but you're still hesitant. Which suggests you don't really want one. So don't get one then, save your money and get something else :P
