It's between the GBA SP and the 3DS. Can't decide!

the gameboy. you can build houses out of gameboys, and castles, and bunkers, and they are a good weapon if you wanna trash a bank

GBA SP (backlit) vs DS Lite. Both practically perfect in every way.

Vita is my favorite mobile form factor period. Nothing else is as comfortable, and as versitile, especially if you have a 3G model. IMO, the only thing that would be better, is a 4G Vita. Then its PS3, and PS4 anywhere via PS Now and Remote Play. That is the holly grail of mobile gaming.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Wait, do you mean design like the "looks?" Or design like how comfortable it is? Design/looks-wise, Vita hands-down for me. It is absolutely gorgeous to behold.

Comfort-wise, I'd have to go with GBA SP. I adore my Vita, but when I play it, my hands start cramping since I find the thumbsticks to be too low. Same with the 3ds XL and any game that requires the d-pad on it. Cramp city (Population: me). I could play my GBA SP for hours and never feel anything. It felt like an extension of my hands.



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P

It could be either or really. Sorry for not being specific XD

The Vita is the greatest handheld hardware ever, without a doubt.

I just got my first ever PS Vita and I gotta say.. this thing is sleek!!! It feels weighted in my hands but still very light at the same time. The buttons all feel responsive and I love having two analog sticks. I wish they could have some how added an R2 and L2 because now those buttons are regulated to the annoying rear touch pad. But that's one small gripe. Overall I gotta say the PS Vita as far as design goes it does nearly everything right.
