I bought the ps vita in hopes of it being a great system with fun games and This year I was proven wrong. To me there are about 5 games that are good. This system has been out for almost two years and there is only about 60 games for it and the games that are coming soon are 10 that are officially...

I'm not sure why target is selling these for [...] when they've always sold them for [...]. The system is not worth buying at this [...] price point, but if you can find it for [...] you should buy it. Very bad value here.

The PS Vita is actually a pretty well thought out product. I loved the PSP despite the fact that it has some major issues such as the browser performance. However, I think the PS Vita has taken quite a step forward to solving the previous issues.

Let's not beat around the bush; we like the PlayStation Vita, we like it a lot. In fact, we're happy to say that we have never fallen for a handheld games console as much as we have the PS Vita. It is to hardcore gamers what a Penny Black is to a philatelist.

The most powerful portable games console around; superb 5-inch 16:9 OLED touchscreen; light yet durable; as fast as an injury lawyer at a house fire in most circumstances; genuine effort to expand its remit beyond mere gaming

Simple-to-use interface; bright and clear display; good controls

HD video disappointing; games are pricey; surfing the net is clunky

PlayStation Vita proves the day of the handheld console is not over!

Expensive for a handheld; Unimpressive battery life; Minor issues with Remote Play and media support

The PlayStation Vita is the portable console that hardcore gamers have been waiting for. It trumps the Nintendo 3DS and smartphone competition in raw power, graphics and quality of titles, while the dual analogue sticks and rear touchpad controls provide lots of room for future innovation.

I love it but the memory card prices have killed the experience for me :/ either way I love it but I spend a lot of time deleting games to make room for others.
