The Bottom Line:

"All it's cracked up to be"

The dual thumb sticks were the biggest selling point for me. I already loved the capabilities of my old PSP but was excited to also see the new media format. Not only do I love the sollid state game chips over the UMD format but if I get the 32GB flash media, I can download tons of digitally distributed games and DLC as well. If you just got the 4GB flash media with the Vita, don't fret because the built in Content Manager enables you to back up all your game files and DLC so you can always upgrade to a larger flash card for more storage and not lose any of your saved games.

I am a bit disappointed that Sony went with a proprietary form factor with their memory cards but it is understandable and not that big a deal when you consider what you're getting with the Vita package!

Awesome screen! Both touch screen and rear panel touch input! New and interesting ways to connect with your friends via the Vita's "Near" Application! I thought I would not use the 3G connectivity but it is so easy anc convenient to have that option when you're not near a hotspot. Front and rear facing cameras! (Work best in well lit areas but still not bad in dim light.)

Can't wait for the big name games to make it to the Vita now!!!! C'mon Modern Warfare or Borderlands! :)

Bottom line...I love it!
