Ok, so I have about 470 some odd dollars of amazon gift card saved up on my account. Bought some books, a new watch, and still has this much left. I am thinking about getting the Vita for this Xmas, so I can play at night when I am on call and the hospital is quiet.

So if i get it around the end of this year (Black friday or so); i am expecting some sort of bundle or discount.

What games would you guys recommend, I am thinking:

1. LBP Vita (it's a game within a game, hopefully user generated content can help fill in time gaps of new release)

2. Gravity Rush (Heard good things and apperantely sold enough for them to THINK about making a second one)

3. Uncharted GA (still on the fence, may get a used copy)

4. Rayman Origin (looks like it can be fun, may get a used copy)

5. Soul Sacrifice (when it comes)

6. Persona

5. Soul Sacrifice (when it comes)

6. Persona
  • You can buy LBP for PS3 for cheap now. (its not the same but close enough and as said is alot cheaper)
  • Gravity Rush is the only game on Vita that seems to be really awesome.(right now)
  • Uncharted on Vita is the worst Uncharted game that exists  so this should not be the reason why one should buy a vita.
  • Rayman Origins also exists on PC 360 PS3 and looks better there and is cheaper.
  • Soul Sacrifice  as you said when it comes. So you could have not mentioned it at all because it has nothing to do with the term NOW.
  • Persona is also available on PS2 for cheap. And can be played on PC in HD with an emulator. (not the same but again close enough)

(I know you cant take your PS2 or PS3 with you but think about it  will you play a role playing game in a hospital? This is more something for games like tetris etc games that consume less time)

So I dont think now is not the time to buy a vita. 
The time to buy a Vita is when the price dropped and a ton of games are out.  Lets say the vita will flop and not alot of games will come out  you wasted alot of money.  Sure if noone buys the Vita because it is still struggling it will automatically kill it but its up to you if you want to risk "losing" money or not. If you buy one go and buy a used one its cheaper.

I would wait for a price drop but again its up to you  just ask yourself if you really need one NOW. Or if you can wait  and if the answer is  I CAN WAIT then you know its not the time to buy one right now. Dont just buy stuff because you want to buy stuff.

If you want a excellent portable then get the Vita. The quality of the build is next to none. The 3ds XL looks cheap and plastic compared to it. 

There are a huge amount of games available for it right now. A gigantic selection of PSN and PSP games with the new edition of playstation mobile means you will never be stook for amazing games to play. 

Assasins Creed liberation looks amazing too. I agree with guys on this, the Ps Vita is the cool thing to hate right now. 

You never lose an oportunity to take a jab at the 3DS. Never.

Have you tried the 3ds XL yet? I have and I prefere my 3ds. Better build quality except the screen is obviously better on the 3ds Xl.

I bolded his reason he's thinking of a Vita. So all your its cheaper on console arguments hold no water.

Now for games...hmmmm... psp games + psone classics + minis + psmobile + vita games + psn games = tons and tons  of games that can be played on the Vita...there goes your other argument.

or maybe he could just by a 3Ds and play a bunch of shovelware... yeah.. thats a better choice.

Moderated,

And yet everyone taking a jab and ripping on the Vita gets a free pass? ohohoho.. the double standards are strong here.

Have you tried the 3ds XL yet? I have and I prefere my 3ds. Better build quality except the screen is obviously better on the 3ds Xl.

I have both versions of the 3DS. I like the built of the XL more. I think the only advantage the 3DS XL screen has over the original 3DS is the size. I don't know but it looks to me that the XL screen has little yellow tone. I got the XL because the original gave me a terrible pain in my hands.

This is also a problem with the 3ds, sometimes it gives cramps. If you have used the Ps Vita before you can clearly see which console has the better build quality.
