The new gen consoles life cycle is almost over and i have gotten many many hours of enjoyment out of my ps3, but i think its time to let go. No really any new games coming out that im particularly interested in besides maybe "the last of us" and "metal gear rising". I think i can go without playing those games. The ps vita has really caught my eye recently and i kind of just wanna kick back and play some hand helds until the ps4 is released. It cant be more then a year until its released, and im really interested in the vita line up so far. Im wondering what you guys thing/would do.

I would never sell a PS3 for a Vita given its current lineup. Almost everything worth playing you probably have played already on your PS3 or can buy it for cheaper and play it with better graphics and more comfortable controls.

it sounds like you're only planning on getting vita to "tide you over" until ps4. imo, that's a waste.

Don't do it. It's a cool device but not worth the money.

I did same thing but instead selling my my PS3 I sold my Xbox 360. There is absolutly no games that are coming out that I'm interested in and haven't touched system over year, so I thought it might be time to sell it.

if you want to make good profit on the ps3, now is probably the time to sell. who knows when ps4 will be unveiled.

As much as I love the Vita, I would never trade my PS3 in towards one. The library isn't great and if you're bored with your PS3 then you're really going to be bored with the Vita due to its lack of games. I would keep the PS3 if I were you.

If that's what you want to do, it's not a bad idea, but will you miss the PS3?

i went thru a time where i was bored of my ps3... and my wii, and my 360, and my 3ds, and my vita, and my psp too.

but if i had traded them in, i would had regretted it, cause since then ive also had the urge to play games on them again. e.g.i hadnt played my ps3 in like 3 months, and then i was playing it almost non-stop for the past month)

now if you really want a vita and dont want your ps3, make sure its not just a passing urge, cause if u dont have the money to buy the vita without trading in ur ps3 u prolly wont be able to buy it back either if you find u dont like the vita.

besides, i love the ps3/ps vita connectivity, especially whats been announced (things like the little big planet 2 thing, and the cross buy program), so i would recommend trying to keep ur ps3 and just try and save up for a vita.
