The vita in my opinion has at least 2 A++ games (Virtues Last Reward, Persona 4 Golden); With those two games alone, to get platinum and full endings in both games, combined would take roughly 150 hours. You also get access to tons of PSP and PS1 games that sync with your PlayStation 3.

I'm more satisfied with the Vita than the PSP, especially when it's pretty much impossible to "hack" at the moment. There is strict DRM on it, which you barely notice if you are a legitimate customer. The balance of DRM is convincing enough for developers to actually spend money and develop on it.

When final Fantasy comes out this year, expect another A++ game with at least 100 hours of gameplay.

I think people are not giving the Vita enough credit.

Speaking of which, if your credit score is over 650 you can easily get the vita on a 6 month no interest payment plan.

@Sepewrath On the contrary, the costs to develop games will always get cheaper if it ever reaches a point like that. Unfortunately the price is more strict DRM and ways for the developers to make games easier (hence why the next generation consoles are Intel based)

This is all useless for people such as myself, that suffer from prosopagnosia. I've covered more emotion in a simple DS game than any graphics could do. It's the story and writing that makes a difference, not the "shaders" that hide 90% of the face with an annoying shadow.
