So how about that PSVita..

I'm gonna wait for the 3G model's price to drop.
Only game I plan on getting for it is Mortal Kombat.

There's a demo for Uncharted, so I'll check it out, but I doubt I'll be buying it any time soon.

I'm a total sucker and gave in. I bought a Vita. Really tempted by Wipeout and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus. There's a demo for Wipeout and it looks pretty darn amazing.



Tried Uncharted, but the aiming was pretty bad just because the right stick is fiddly and not that precise. Rayman Origins looks exactly like the PS3 version, and (mercifully) you can zoom in in the Vita version. The characters are tiny anyway on that little screen, and you get the power to shrink in later stages too.

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is the only game I've actually bought so far and it's just as fun as the PS3 game. The free AR titles are a fun novelty (well, apart from Fireworks), but novelty rarely lasts and they are no exception. But hey, they're free.

Vodafone is totally fuckin up with the 3G registration and stuff. Assholes.

I didn't bother with 3G.

Hehe, (eventually) you won't regret the buy Nonny. Any games on the horizon you are looking forward to?

Gravity Rush. I seriously don't know why they didn't push it through for the western launch. It looks like the Vita's only killer new IP.

If there's a few yakua games no this i might get one but that would pretty much be my only reason for getting one. It does look nic though.

Dynasty Warriors Next is very impressive to look at.

Bought Sigma Plus.

Touch screen keyboards are fiddly. The browser is a lot better than the a PSP's though.

Really? I heard it was much worse. I like the PSP browser, though. Been using it for years.

Moose i want to know what the whole remote play features are like. Can you play PS3 games on this, can you use it for anything else. EXPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

The remote play is exactly the same as the PSP's remote play. It's not worth the time it takes to try it out.

So only PS1 game and minis? Thats stupid.

I take back what I said earlier.
I'll probably just get a wi-fi version.

The touch screen makes it much easier to use. It's a lot faster too.

NGS+ looks decent. It's nicer in motion, although unfortunately it's only 30fps. The gyro-aiming is hella annoying. You can change the settings so you can use the stick to aim, but you can't actually turn off the gryoscopic aiming, so you if you want to aim with the stick you need to hold the Vita perfectly still.

I love this thing. I was playing Ninja Gaiden when the low battery thing flashed up, so I put the charger in. But what I had forgotten is that the charger wasn't plugged into the wall because I took it out yesterday to use something else. So about 20 minutes later the battery ran out and it shut off while I was playing. I thought I had lost all my progress since my last save, which included a boss fight.

However, I plugged it in properly, waited for the red light to stop flashing and stay constant (it won't turn on at all while it's flashing, presumably some kind of battery preserving safety measure), and turned it on. It had just gone into sleep mode and the game picked up right where it left off.

That's great Nonny

I have yet to find a Vita game that I can immerse myself in. The game I played the most was FF Duodecim, but that's from the previous generation.

I downloaded that free Motorstorm RC game, and that was fun for a bit, but I just stopped once I got a score on all the maps, hehe. Aside from those, I've downloaded and played almost all the demos, but the only demo I found worth keeping is Lumines Electronic Symphony.

Ok, so I'm seriously considering getting a used one for £200 at my local Gamestop. However, games are expensive, and blabla, I have to play PSP games, too. Are there enough games to keep you guys satisfied so far? Do you think I should wait til a new model?

The PSP used to do the same thing.

I'm still not sold on the Vita. Games are more expensive than many 360 / PS3 titles, which is ridiculous, and all the titles I've tried have been fun but not enough to make me want to spend £250 on another handheld device when I've once again barely used the 3DS for the last six weeks.

Depends on your style of game really. First full PSV game I bought was Disgaea 3, which came out midApril IIRC. Before that, I was satisfied from demos/my PSP download .

I think after E3 more light will be shed on the Vita, making it more appealing. As of now, there is still no PS1 Classic support, no Flash (for YouTube), and even some noticeable titles from PSP are not in the library.

Also, I don't know if the UMD thingy is fixed here. And now I remembered the PS2 games we were expecting, but won't get.

I'll be honest, I've yet to play anything on the Vita that I couldn't play a better version of on the PS3 (although the extra content in NGS+ was nice). There are no great, unique Vita games at the moment. But Gravity Rush is around the corner. That game is carrying the Vita's success on it's shoulders in my eyes. There's also Soul Sacrifice/Forsaken Souls, the new Inafune game. That's coming out at the end of this year or next year I think.
