Oh, I wasn't talking about you. I read your new post and agree with your view. I was just talking about every other person who said something bad on this thread.

I'll never buy a handheld at current 3DS or PSV prices, but while despite the improvements from PSP-1000 to -3000 I didn't buy a PSP even when its price fell to very low levels, and by now I won't buy a DS anymore, because the big screen version stayed at a high price long enough to make me lose interest, I must still try PSV at all and 3DS more than superficially to decide. About 3DS, I'll wait for a big screen, two analog pads version (the 2nd pad add-on is beyond kludgy and horrible!) to drop to low price to decide, but about PSV I just really got to try it, and I'm quite curious, but I already know from the PSPs I tried in the past (1000, gave me hand cramps, hated it, 3000, barely acceptable), that thumbsticks position in PSV, coupled with bigger screen and larger device overall should make it more comfortable for me than its predecessor.

You know what this thread needs more of? Impressions.

Got my PS Vita yesterday.

Pros
- Beautiful, large screen.
- Solid feel.
- Smoother buttons compared to my 1st gen PSP.
- Dual analog sticks will rock alot of games.
- Remote Play of my PS1 games look pretty darn good.

Cons
- Battery life
- We are never gonna get a UMD to Digital program, so if they are on PSN and Compatible, we will have to buy it all over again.
- Would have been nice to have the analog sticks and D-Pad/Buttons a little further apart.
- Wi-Fi can be a problem when you try for the very first time. If you have problems change the DNS from auto to googles DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Future:
Games. Games. Games. What will make or break this system ultimately will be the games. We need a good steady stream of awesome games. I should be able to find at least 2 new good games to buy each month, if not more. Time will tell if this happens and the system can meet or beat its predecessor.

The contrast ratio.

If you've been playing games on a 3ds/psp/smartphone then you've probably been gaming on a LCD screen. These have particularly bad contrast ratios. Its gotten better over the years but the difference between LCD and OLED is quite clear.

Ive had a galaxy S2 for about 6 months now, and ever since ive had it, i cant stand LCD or even weaker OLED type screens. My phone even puts my pc screen to shame (and i have a pretty good pc screen samsung SyncMaster XL2370).

The colours are just amazing on OLED! Coupled with the high res of the PSV and you've got one of the best screens in the mobile space period.

So either you've already had prior experience with an OLED screen or a high end flatscreen TV, in which case the PSV's screen wont be anything truly amazing to you OR you have some sort of bias against the PSV, because if you going from a LCD screen to OLED its a massive difference. You can even see the difference on a low quality youtube video!

LOL Runa216 are you for real??

You made a horrible statement about the 3ds, D21lewis calls you out on it by showing you what a silly comment it was, using the PSV/psp as a **sarcastic** example and you actually replied by just about calling him a troll? LOL. Boy you missed the boat on that one XD

Am i the only one finding this hilarious??

I wish i had impressions of the VITA

In regards to games, while I only speak for myself, I think I would prefer to download a couple DD titles like Escape Plan every month than pick up full retail titles at $40. There just aren't a lot of portable games that I'd be buying at that price given my portable playing habits, which are admittedly probably better suited to iOS games. Rare is the portable game that I will play for over half an hour at a time, and for that little play is rarely worth the price of a retail title. But, traditional controls as an option in addition to the existence of big titles like Uncharted that are worth the full price make the PSV the best in terms of choices when it comes to portable gaming. 

I gave up on any hope of a UMD license extension program after the PSP Go never gelled. Some will remember the same type of exchange program was thrown around, never to be realized, so I'm neither surprised nor annoyed it's not happening. I would have jumped at the opportunity to ditch my UMDs. 

I like the new box the games come in. Smaller then PSP and DVD cases, and they look sleeker then DS cases. PSP cases looked disproportionate.

I'm not a fan of the fact that game cases don't come with booklets. Those booklets were like....a bible for me.

Every game has an in-game manual easily accessed from the PS menu and every one that I've seen so far is better than the in box booklet typically shipped with retail games. They're in color (most game manuals aren't) and because there's no print cost, documentation writers can layout as many pages as they want. 

Considering that no one who actually games on the go carries their game boxes and manuals anywhere they go, printed manuals are pretty unnecessary for portable games.
