Want vita but short battery life's holding me back.

You guys who have one, do you find it as an issue? or is it better to wait for a redesign with better batterylife?

Never had a problem. Seems to always last me longer than I need.

I don't own a vita, but I own a 3DS - which has WORSE battery life than the vita, and I don't find it to be a serious issue. Battery life is 4 hours, that covers most long train journeys or short flights or drives or whatever. I don't really see many situations where you're going to need 10 hours of HD gaming. If ever I use handheld consoles away from home (or away from a means of recharging) I don't use it excessively anyway. I personally think it has plenty of battery, but that's just me.

Yea well my problem is i work 12 hour nights stationary alone so it's something to pick up when the hours are ticking. using for music, and other things, So i thing more hours would be great

Well that's a different story then, haha. Does wherever you work have no power outlets that you can use? I mean lugging around the charger would be a pain but I mean it's a 12 hour shift.

I think if you're looking for a time killer, for music and videos and simple games, an iPhone or something of the sort would appeal more to your needs.

Do not have any isssues, my Vita lasts longer than my 3DS, I actually played over 5h with one load (Disgaea 3) and didn't run out of battery
