I got a 3ds today and it wont connect to the internet. On the connections it will connect but not to stuff like the web browser and the eshop. Should I return it for a Ps Vita?

For the short amount of time ive played it, ive not been impressed. Ps Vita looks more interesting to me now. Nintendo always have had wacky internet. 

I bought it at walmart, I should be able to get a refund I think.

Well...if you really want a Vita, go for it.

I don't know why your 3DS wont connect to the Internet, but that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to want to swap it for another system.

The Vita is awesome though, so if you do decide to switch it up, you wont be disappointed :)

Both systems has a good amount of games (depsite the stupidity of the internet) for their point in their lifetime. All depends on which set of games you'd prefer. As usual.

I figured we were combining what we don't give into some paradoxal anti-care.

is it not a 3DS XL, I wouldn't have opened it but instead returned it, paid the $30 or whatever more for the 3DS XL, and wait a month for Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon... I dunno, see if you can put the package back together looking new, see if where it came from can be returned full price and upgrade to 3DS XL or a Vita if you really want one, but I've a feeling 3DS XL would be the better one to have

lol, no http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOV_rVrnezE Guerrilla said they are actually running the Killzone 3 engine for Mercenary, too. You can say you prefer the 3DS's lineup all you like. You can say it has more overall appeal and sells a lot more. But if you really want to see them go head to head graphically, its not even a fair match when you have a competent dev making the games going head on.

Read what I wrote. I don't even care about Killzone myself (not an FPS fan), but it sure does have the graphics to back up the Vita's power. Which is the only point I made or am making.

That depends on what you expected. They still aren't even close to the same level when you get down to it.

Is it something to do with your router encryption? Why can't you get online? That's odd--MK7 is great online.

Lol why would you get a handheld with no games? The 3DS has such an awesome lineup this year. The Vita? Not so much. You can get a crappy killzone later in the year but thats all I've seen

If you are not happy with the 3DS then yes, Return it and get a PSvita. The PSvita is exactly 1 year old. Feb 15th 2012 I got the limited edition early First edition bundle with Little devients, 4GB memory card and a carry case.

So I am happy with the PSvita. There is a years worth of game out now. So you will be able to find something to play. The offical Birthday of the PSvita is Feb 26th 2013. That was the North American wide launch on Feb 26th 2012.

So yes return the 3DS and get a PSvita. The White PSvita bundle with a 4GB memory card and Assassin's creed. For $249.99 so you will have to pay the difference. There is also a Black PSvita with 4GB memory card and Call of Duty declassified. Also for $249.99

But the game is no so great.

You can't access the eShop which has games of its own such as Pushmo and Crshamo, Mutant Mudd, Mighty Switch Force, etc. Also can't access the Virtual Console.

Good that you got it working again. Under no circtumstance should you trade in your 3DS for a Vita. If it were the other way around I can imagine you playing through P4G and then returning it to get a 3DS.

Yes, they are. Although it's not as big of a difference as the gap between the ds and psp.

True it they have a 3ds they have different interest to begin with. But same can be said for trading vita for 3ds. When 3ds wouldn't be able to satisfy my intrest in shooters like vita can.

I used to agrree with you but then sony started making handhelds powerful enough to play them. Now it feels as natural as playing them on home consoles.

Might be worth selling yours on second hand and holding out for the new Vita they're supposed to announce.
