Actually, someone showed me a way to "soft mod" the PSP. This way it's stock, but I can load the modded firmware, and ta da!

I only really want it for Fire Emblem 7 and Mother 3, if I have to buy something, I'd rather buy the EZ-Flash Drive for GBA

softmodded my psp a few weeks ago. it didnt take long at all (about 10min). and now they have it because you dont need to buy anything (pandora battery).

as for playing gba games, it works great! im actually really into the fire emblem game for gameboy advence

How did you do it? Can you PM me a link?

Someone explained how to do it for me before, but I didn't do it lol. This time I will

If you like handheld gaming in itself, them I don't see how you won't love a Vita. If you've never owned a PSP then the Vita is a goldmine.



Gravity Rush,
Little Big Planet

While there are some true gems on Vita´s library what still prevents me from gettin one is: 1 - the device´s price; 2 - most of its best games can be played on the Ps3....



For people saying "All it has are watered down versions of PS3 games, so there's no reason to own a Vita":

1) That's not entirely true. LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, etc are not smaller versions of existing games on the PS3, they're brand new experiences. Many say the Vita LittleBigPlanet is the best one. In addition, some experiences you can only get on the Vita, like Gravity Rush or the upcoming Tearaway.

2) Are you able to play your PS3 on a plane? Do you take it with you in hotels? Do you hook up your PS3 in the car on long road trips?

Basically, the argument on the games being watered down PS3 games can be true for some of the "Vita versions", but to generalize it is a bit unfair. Also, the ability to have a console-quality experience on the go is appealing. I love to watch baseball, but it really cuts into my gaming time, so when a game is on, often I'll play my Vita while watching. I also travel for work sometimes or with my in-laws and wife to Florida, so having a great gaming experience when I'm away from home is great.

Yeah, Sony fans point to how great hardware is a lot, but damn...the Vita is a great piece of hardware. Incredibly powerful, great controls, being able to suspend my games and apps in memory, a fast OS, a beautiful screen, unbelievable battery life and a solid and sturdy build. I think it's worth every penny of $250, though yes, the memory cards are vastly overpriced.

Digital games and stuff

I didn't wnat to quote the entire thing, but when I was saying two digital games on the 3DS and Vita, I thought you were looking at the games Metascore.  That's how many 3DS and Vita games had 80 or above, not how many digital games there were altogether.  Not going to argue with the rest.  Don't feel like it anymore since it's all opinion anyways.

No, but some people, like me, may want or seek for different experiences on a handheld. And in this case, if I can have those games on my home console, I´d rather choose a handheld that provides me with different gameplay ideas, then, different games.

Of course, I just speak by myself. I know a lot of people who would love to continue playing their home console games on a handheld and for those, specially Ps fans, Vita is the thing to go. It´s a great device after all, but it may be not what every consumer wants.

This is something that happens with every console and every product. Heck, I even know people that are not interested in consoles anymore and only want to play games on a PC or on a tablet.
