Anyone else really impressed how Sony is handling the PSVita?

Everything announced for it so far has been very pleasing... great entry price for the tech, no region lock, great launch lineup, dual analogs, $40 pricepoint for new games and among others. Has Sony impressed you with its second handheld?

Don't worry, we will find something to hate. I mean it's Sony and they're japanese for crying out loud! ;)

Incidently, my divorce has resulted in me being kicked out of school and living with my parents so I'm all good in regards to clean clothes :?

I was, however, insinuating that certain forums seem to love sticking it to Sony for reasons that shall remain forever unlearned :P

i3DS

Actually yes,

I'm still not interested in buying one however because I'd rather just play a PS3 that does exactly the same stuff, other than some touch -screen gimmick stuff that I don't really care about in this particular instance.

That's the problem with Sony's handhelds. They don't differentiate themselves enough from the home console experience, and there's never really anything I can get on them that I couldn't get on the home console bigger and better, so there's never really enough incentive to want to buy one.

The pricing is what Im impressed about. The games not so much.

[QUOTE="iliatay"] The whole point of a handheld is to give a home console experience WHILE BEING HANDHELD. but I guess some dont like that...

amaneuvering

A handheld system is supposed to provide both. A console like experience on a handheld is very appealing to many people. Yes unique experiences are needed too especially today, but people also want console like games on their handheld. It's a good thing Vita offers both!

If this was last gneration of handhelds I would agree but so far in this handheld generation seem both 3DS and PSV will be delivering a washed out home consoles experience and PSV is doing it in less washed out way.

Love what their doing with it yes

It looks pretty good to me. I might even get one at launch which is saying a lot considering I never bought a PSP.

[QUOTE="amaneuvering"][QUOTE="burgeg"]Actually they do like that. They had no problem with it on every Game Boy system and they have no problem buying the usual Nintendo franchises on DS and 3DS that you can get on home consoles. This is just the latest excuse people are using to downplay how awesome the Vita looks. I highly doubt even the people saying this crap actually believe what they're saying. "Vita is just a portable PS3" is the best people can come up with to downplay the Vita right now, even if the 3DS is full of nothing but ports right now and the only good games on the horizon are from franchises you can also get on consoles. Not to mention the fact Vita is getting original games that look great too. Personally my most anticipated launch title for Vita is Gravity. After seeing the 8 minute gameplay video of it I'm sold. Looks really original and cool.

Exactly, the gameboy gave you a HOME CONSOLE experience (nes, snes) in a handheld...its just that home consoles technology grew so fast handhelds were so far behind, and up until now the handhelds are finally catching up, so its really just an excuse for nintendo fanboys to throw back at sony.

If the battery life is longer than the PSP that would be an instant purchase for me. DS Lite is still godly with the 14-18 battery life.

Ya I'm impressed. Great price, the handheld itself is quite capable, it's a nice piece of tech. There's only one or two exclusives I'm looking forward too tho (Gravity Daze, Sound Shapes) so I'm looking forward to more unique titles that I won't find on any other platforms.

they're doing really well, almost too well...:?

I definitely like where they are going with it so far. If the games are there I will get one.

A quick not of worthy info.... IF you do indeed use your Iphone/Android for gaming purposes, expect the very same battery life the portables provide you with... That's one of the reasons phones will not become your game device of choice in the near future..... You sort of need your phone to last beyond a day without a recharge.

As others have stated it should be the same as the PSP 3000, which would put it on par with 3DS (if not a bit better).

ew no, never, to many buttons, to many buttons too many touch screens

launch lineup is garbage except for uncharted.

I think it looks good, my question is on whether it will appeal to the masses.

How is it gimmicky? It uses all standard controls, those other things are extra and purely optional, a good concept that Nintendo seems to have trouble following.
