What's there to like? Nintendo doesn't make mobile games.

If my old game state of mind was still alive, talking about the nintendo fan in me, I would love the 3ds, but nintndo style games no longer appeal to me. as for the vita, it ttys to be console like but the controls just don't work. if you are used to a console version of a game it will just feel wrong on the vita.

week minded individuals you feel they will be social outcasts for looking nerdy playing portable games on public transport. so they conform.

lol, lowever middle class in Aus means you shoudl be able to afford all of them.

I found myself playing handheld games, not on the go, but at home where my home console is. To me it was a little pointless, but to me. I don't play games on mobiles either, most are just repetitive motion games and just to pass the time. There are better things to do to pass the time.

I should say, my family are lower middle class. I have around $12,000 in the bank but I'm paying of uni loans, rent, utilities, etc.

I've actually got my first handheld last week, and so far I'm loving it! I don't know why I didn't get one before... It's simply nothing that's seemed interesting before.

LOL so am I uni loans and bills etc... You got more moeny than me in the bank lol I got liek $20. Sadly most my doe goes to the mortgage these days.

I have the Vita, but I would not take it out of my house to play. If I'm getting on the train to LA, or traveling I rather read a book or play with my DSLR. I'm 33 years of age, and there was a time when I told myself that I would game until I'm old and gray; However, I'm too self-conscious to play all the time in public. A book feels better, and comes with great perks. My camera needs attention too. I'm thinking of going full-frame, but I need to graduate from my crop-sensor before upgrading.

When you get to my age, you begin to value your time more. Should I spend my time on a video game, or read and expand imagination and learn a few things, or should I practice taking pictures and work on becoming a better amateur photographer, or listen to NPR and get caught up with all the current events.

Really, it comes down to so little time and so many things you want to do. It suck to be growing up.
