Is it worth Buying a PS Vita?

Playing FIFA is good taking a dump.

I tried playing uncharted in best buy and I was surprise how comfortable it is to hold. Although the problem is that I didn't see a lot of games for it. By now they should have had more title out for it. But i dont know if the price is worth getting for a Vita, I would probobly just wait it up for mjore progress. You might be able to buy something better or maybe just to increase your money stash while waiting.

Do you think in the upcoming months there will be more games for it? I read somewhere that Sony has a lot of games being developed for it right now, Is that true?Habsrule31

Also i would recommend the COD bundle i haven't really enjoyed Assassin's creed so far and since i enjoy Shooters more i would imagine it would be better. Ofcourse everyone has an opinion and if you want the white Vita then you may lean towards the Assassin's creed one.

I am looking at getting a PS Vita for Christmas or on boxing day. Is it worth buying if I travel a lot for sports and have an Xbox 360 and a PS3. If it is worth buying should I purchase the AC Bundle or COD Bundle? Habsrule31

I enjoy playing Vita if you're busy and always at work you can enjoy Vita since you can play it everywhere. It depends on what type of games you want.
So I would like to ask you what type of games you liked to play on Vita?

Yes it is worth it. The only drawback with the PSvita is the memory card prices. That is my only grip with the PSvita. It is a fantastic portable console. If you travel and like videogames than yep buy a PSvita. AC white bundle is a good pick.

One of the reasons I really like my Vita, compared to my 3DS is just because of the Playstation Store. There are just so many games already on it and it's great being able to play PS1 games on the go.

Its hard not to recommend one of the Black Friday deals. For $199 you get a Wifi Vita + 4GB + either Black Ops or AC Liberation. Thats an unbelievable deal considering Wifi was selling for $250 with no game or card back in March when it launched outside of Japan.

A lot depends on what you like to play. There are definitely good games for Vita + you can play a lot of PSP and PS1 games on it. If you never had a PSP, then there are a lot of high quality titles to fill the gap with.

i have a vita and it is not worth it. There are no games for it right now but I do see alot of potential and I think the future is really exciting for this console. I also have the 3ds xl and it is a much better gaming device with a far better library. I mean the only thing keeping the psp vita afloat right now is the fact that nintendo couldn't be bothered making a DS with decent hardware specs. If they did I doubt the vita would have survived as long as it did. So now the pros and cons of the ps vita:

First the web browser-->suprisingly terrible web browser, it is a poS that barely functions. Next thecamera on it is also terrible. In fact the camera is almost as bad as the nintendo 3ds camera. The graphics are good overall. In uncharted for example some scenes look awesome and then you go to another scene where everything looks like garbage. The 3ds graphics aren't as good as the vita but they're still good enough. The app selection on the vita is also terrible. I wish sony had just made the OS some modified version of android, then we would have had a million awesome apps running smoothly and enabling multi tasking. The vita OS doesn't allow multi tasking which is pretty messed up since its a quad core cpu. The secondary analogue stick for the vita is also not that great. Battery life is pretty weak. The vita does have potential like I said earlier such as the upcoming ps+ service...Im drooling just thinking about it. The OLED screen is also very beautiful (a finger print magnet though which I suggest you get a screen protector for) So those are the pros and cons for the vita. I believe that the 3ds is a better choice for gaming right now since the vita is NOT worth $250 plus another $50 for a memory card. I suggest waiting for the price to drop to at LEAST $200 with memory card bundled in. I got the vita since I traded a $100 playbook which made the deal awesome for me. If you get the vita it will be collecting dust most of the time as mine is.

i also heard that 3DS is better than Vita..but now im enjoying my Dokuro on vitaKukurochan

[QUOTE="DarthJohnova"][QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] 3DS has more quality gamesToxic-Seahorse

I love my Vita and will continue to support it because its most impressive handheld I've ever owned[PSP, 3DS, and PSVita]. I definitely would recommend the Vita to anyone who enjoys the playstation brand in gaming, but what peaple seem to forget most is that the Vita isn't even a year old yet, [70+ games in 9months] so atleast give it time and I bet it will turn out better than we could have hoped.

I promise you won't be dissappointed!

the thing about the vita is it is a useless handheld device. Yeah sure its a decent multi media device but the thing is everyone has a samsung galaxy or an iphone, and no one will use a vita over their phones or tablets for media. The 3ds also has media function, though the screen display and resolution blows.The psp1 was much more revolutionary back in the day, it was ahead of its time.

Also, please list the 18 games that you want on the vita as im having trouble finding even 1 game on the vita I want (aside from possibly nfs mw). The 3ds games wise blows the vita out of the water, though to be honest the 3ds' library isn't so great either. Well at least its backwards compatible with the DS so theres a huge library of quality games for dirt cheap.

[QUOTE="DarthJohnova"][QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] Well, while "quality" is subjective, the 3DS does have more highly rated games (if you count reviews for anything). A lot of those games I don't want, for example, kingdom hearts and Kid Icarus don't interest me, but I won't deny that they're quality games. Toxic-Seahorse

bro...are you sure you have the same vita I have? The one with a terrible browser (which could have been so much more) and multi tasking is pretty much one program open at a time. If you want to open up netflix and facebook then one must close...that is not multi tasking bro.

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"][QUOTE="DarthJohnova"] Yeah fair enough. I just don't think they've got enough third party support on the 3DS. Monster Hunter will be great though. I'll stop talking about that though as it's not the correct forum board ;) Looking forward to picking up a Vita though, hope it's good :)blaznwiipspman1

i guess ill take a pic then...

Apparently you don't have the same Vita I have. On my Vita you can play your music while playing a game. You can even be playing a game, decide to go look through the PS Store with your game satrill open and go right back to your game without loading it. If that isn't multitasking I have no idea what is. You sound more like a hater than someone who actually owns the system.

I didn't say the Vita was the best or even good at multitasking, just that the Vita could do it when the other user said it couldn't. What exactly is fanboyish about that? Yeah it could be better, but then again, everything can be improved.

Still doesn't make up for the fact that you were wrong.

I want a Vita despite the few games available on the platform. It is a great system with interesting functions. The first PSP got off to a rocky start but it eventually took off. I am sure it's the same with this second iteration by Sony. Keep in mind Nintendo has been in the handheld business for decades whereas this is only Sony's second generation in the business. Sony's nickel and diming practice like the memory card ripoff and their refusal to drop prices to better meet demand is pretty idiotic business-wise however.

I'd point out that all the Vita's competitors have been able to browse the internet in the background, while the Vita gained this capability last night. It's not exactly praise-worthy.

But you're right, it does have multitasking (however rare it is), and blaznwiipspman1 was wrong. I do like the capabilities that are there, but I wish more was done with it.

I think store functions and streetpass as well, both of which the Vita can do (Near being StreetPass' equivalent). Maybe it depends on available memory?

theres too much competition and choice for multi media on the market. You don't have to use your phone, you could use a very comfortable 7inch tablet like the google nexus 7. Multi tasking is still crap for the vita though with the recent 2.0 update I downloaded yesterday its gotten slightly better and it feels like the browser has also improved. OLED is nothing impressive especially when the res is so low. A samsung galaxy s3 has 1080p res on a 4.7 inch screen.
