I'm excited for it, but I'll wait for a few months to see if any problems arises, plus more games will hopefully be out by then. I don't think a release has been pinned down for outside Japan yet, right? It'll be a while before I get one, since I need to buy a new PS3 and catch up on its back catalog of games.

i made the official thread on it, there's your answer LOL

but no seriously, haven't been this excited for a hw launch..ever

It has a lot of cool features, it's mighty powerful, and it looks like it has some killer games...but I have no use for handhelds anymore.

The Vita looks amazing but smartphones and the iPhone in particular has pretty much just destroyed handheld gaming.

For portable games, as cool as Uncharted looks, I don't want cinematic epics for my portable gaming fix, I want Angry Birds and Words With Friends. Short, sweet, and simple is the way to go and you don't need power to do that.

Next, there's all the other things the Vita does. This is where it has the leg up on the 3DS but, again, my iPhone already does all of this and probably does it all better. If there's something I need, there's probably an app for that already at my finger tips and iOS5 made things even easier.

Finally, there's size. Phones fit easily in my pockets, handhelds don't. The Vita I'm sure is much more comfortable to hold, but I'm more concerned about the time spent carrying it around. Portable devices are all about being portable.

So as cool as the Vita is and as interesting as so many of the things are that are on it, I don't need it at all. The fact that it at least has some cool games keeps it from being a 1/10 but I'd still give my excitement level on it a 2/10.

9/10

Looks like it could be the best handheld ever. Never been one to be excited about hardware launches but the Vita has got me for some reason. Looks like it will have some amazing games. I don't want some .99 cent hot garbage either.

 fail lol

OT: will be the first handheld I buy since the GBA

i guess 9/10, though i may hold off purchase till next years holidays instead of launch.

People get upset when I say things like that, like it's some kind of personal insult if I don't like a Sony product.  :-/

5/10

I'm still waiting for games that appeals to me. But I think that I

5/10 - Indifferent

I'm still waiting for games that appeals to me (the same applies to the 3DS).

1/10 Zero interest in the games shown so far.
