As some of you may know, for the last so often, I've been having an internal feud with myself about what system to buy with my tax refund, which is now definitely coming Tuesday. There was the Xbox One, which has the tech that interests me most, and the better-looking launch line-up (as of E3). The PS4, which has some amazing-looking games coming out, and WILL have a Naughty Dog game in the future; plus, it's cheaper, which means I could buy a couple of extra games, PS+, and perhaps a second controller. The Wii U, because it has full Wii support, awesome co-op games, and some incredible-looking games coming in the very near-future.

But then, there's the Playstation Vita. As some of you may know, I used to have a Vita. I only ever bought one game for it (Uncharted: Golden Abyss; beat it), before I traded it back in and bought a ton of games, L.A. Noire, Sonic Generations, Max Payne 3, and Red Dead Redemption GOTY notwithstanding. I don't know what the heck I was thinking! I suppose I was just young back then. Turns out there were many more Vita games out/coming out that I really wanted to play, but the two biggest reasons I want one above all else: Persona 4, andthe games on this list.

Those are some truly awe-inspiring titles, coming to the Vita; much better looking than the PS4's, at the moment. I really need a handheld, as I'm not content to only playing on my big screen via my PS3. I already have a 4GB memory stick from last time in plain sight, as well as an 8GB... somewhere. When and if I pick up a Vita, I'm picking up Persona 4 Golden, and a 32GB stick (the biggest, and not big enough). Is there any other peripheral I should buy to enhance the experience? How about games? What are the top Vita games on the market (retail, digital, PS One, PSP, cross-play with the PS3; outside of Japan)? What about Japan-only? Any of those awesome that include an option for English? Are any of them awesome enough for me to learn Japanese?

The Vita's library is great so far and is probably my favorite library as far as one-year-from-launch games go. LBP and WipeOut are easily the best in their franchises, GR is awesome, I loved Uncharted mostly, Persona 4 isn't boring as hell like P3P, Ninja Gaiden was really fun, Virtue's Last Reward... you guys know how much I love Zero Escape, etc. So yeah, go for it, especially with PS+. That alone helps a lot. If you're going DD, go for a 16 or 32 GB if you can find prices for them. At full price though, I'd be especially wary with the future of the Vita. Any sort of discount sounds awesome though.

WELL If you do wish to buy a PSP Vita, DO NOT get it wet, DO NOT drop it, DO NOT accidently do anything to it or it WILL break. I know this because I used to have a PSP and it broke by having a little rain get on it.
