well then by my aforementioned logic ... as you must have just bought a wiiU i'd hold out until at least mid next year.  no sense getting two toys back to back.  i think a price cut for vita was pretty much confirmed so by june-ish next year you can probably get vita for probably ~$50 cheaper and with a better library.

but i will say this...vita is a really good console so far.  most of its games aren't the big system sellers you'll find on other systems but LBP is probably the most fun i've had gaming in years.  tarsier did such an amazing job with this one.  escape plan, gravity rush, uncharted, retro city, wipeout, stardust, rayman, mutant blobs, sound shapes, PSAS (i'm just listing my games btw :P) are all really good. 

i think of my vita much the same as i imagine a lot of nintendo fans will think of their gamepad.  you get a full console quality experience but you can just chill on the couch while the wife/gf/whatever whats a show.  even better, i was able to keep on playing at the in-laws house over thanksgiving.  i've always had a sigma about handhelds being inferior before.  psp games (from what i downloaded for vita) were all pretty bad.  the lack of the second analog made a lot of games control wonkey.  vita -- just by including that second analog -- makes everything translate to handheld perfectly with no concessions and it is really, really satisfying.  the touch screen open up new kinds of gameplay (for sony franchises) and the rear touch screen ... well to date only escape plan uses it well imo but tearaway looks like a fantastic use as well.  vita is just really versitle and satisfying.

bottom: i highly recommend the system but i dunno, you might just be better off waiting a bit.

how does that help in telling him he should have grabbed a deal that doesn't exist anymore...

Since you missed Black Friday I would wait until after christmas. Enjoy your Wii U for now and get the Vita when the console(I mean the U) enters the post launch window slump.

I don't really like 'convince me' threads, especially when it comes to consoles. If you are a decently intelligent person, you should be able to make judgment calls on this type of purchase on your own. There is a worth of information available from game reviews, official unboxing’s, price comparisons, official vita threads here and other sites with the same information, it just takes due diligence on your part.

Want to know the cons of owning a Vita? Look no further than most of the walls of Nintendo and MS loyalists (here or anywhere), they seems to know the vita's demise better than Sony.

Bottom line, f you have spent years gaming, you would have a preference of what you want and do not want in a videogame experience, console or handheld. Take those intuitions and make a judgment call and live with your choice. If you buy one, you can add your experiences to the official threads here or on Neogaf, make new friends, etc etc.

then why didn't you say so! (sheesh.. making me get the wrong idea..)

300$? lol, I guess you didn't hear about them black Friday deals.

I will kill this puppy if you don't buy a Vita

Well that has been the best argument I've seen yet lol

I didn't care about Persona 4 Golden up until about 2 hours ago lol

As far as everybody goes, it is really useless telling me about the Black Friday deals that no longer exist.

Shame on those other people for listing good games that you might enjoy!
