That's an exaggeration about the 3DS one.  The 3DS one simply doesn't have HTML or Flash.  I'm sure the Vita has at least one of the two (probably HTML?). 

When I was saying "barely any better" I meant in terms of its speed.  It could have been updated since I saw a comparison video around a few months after the launch of the Vita in North America.


Well, i found the 3DS one difficult to use. The Vita one is speedy if you have a good wireless signal. The browser has been improved in system updates in the past.

Have they fixed the annoying bug where every website needs to load twice? It was still in when I last used the browser ~1 month ago. Haven't used it again since. Completely destroyed the browser for me. Also, for some reason it is much slower than the browser on my Galaxy SII and the multitouch features aren't nearly as fluid. It is better than the 3DS browser, but far from being a pleasant experience.

I find the Vita to be incredibly nice as a device next to your bed. You can get in bed and you still have acess to everything you would on your living room. You can watch a movie, a series, play a game, surf the web with the really good browser or engage in apps like skype.
Its like having your pc and TV right there in your bed.

Of course, i also use it when i know im gonna have to wait somewhere. But i use my Vita daily before going to sleep.


From what I've seen (not sure if it's changed), but I heard the Vita browser is barely any better than the 3DS one.


Nem's right.  Vita's browser is pretty awesome these days.  You can even go to certain sites and, if it won't let you view the video then and there, it automatically downloads that video for later.  It's quite capable.

They definitely must have updated it since I last saw its performance. Though I can't say I'm surprised, they updated the camera while the 3DS one remained the same (just with more apps).

As of now, the 3DS is getting some nice RPG's. So I'll have to go with the 3DS

Easy: 3DS now while letting the Vita library build up through PS+ then a Vita after Gamescom/heavy bundling/price drop initiatives !

If you grew up with games like Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Fire Emblem, Kirby, Yoshi, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, Sonic, and now even Smash Bros., go with 3DS.

If you like umm.... Uncharted, Persona, and Y's go with PSV.

Funny guy... Aren't 'ya....?!

Considering that you can play FF 1-9 on Vita, and 10, 10-2 are being remade for Vita as well... How is the 3DS exactly platform for those that grew up with FF?

Maybe he's referring to Bravely Default, but I'm not too sure.

That's not necessarily a positive. Having to download videos from Redtube instead of having them streamed was one the most disturbing experiences I've had this year. I don't want to WAIT for my porn :/

If you like Persona, you will probably like Shin Megami Tensei and the rest of the 3DS's bountiful supply of JRPGs, so go with 3DS.

Okay I get the Final Fantasy giggity but the rest are true. I am talking about from the NES-Wii in regards to the "grew up with" thing. Final Fantasy 1-6 were all on Nintendo consoles. Did you honestly think I would be that dumb?
