The Vita, I cant stand being forced to install software to use an electronic device.

[QUOTE="Eponique"][QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

@0rbs 2,560x1,600 Exynos 5250: 32 nm, 2.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A15 CPU, ARM Mali-T604 GPU It's expected to be the first device to be packing the new Arm's cortex-A15 architecture.lbjkurono23

ok you really need to explain wth your talking about because im really gettign all confused here.. the biggest memory out there for vita is 32GB... that costs $100... getting a $250 vita makes the system from $250 to $350.. not $450 because $250+100= what??.. ding! $350!

jk :P

but yeah you get what im saying and its a huge gap compared to the crap apple does and how pricy their systems are

[QUOTE="lbjkurono23"]

Vita for gaming, most of my use with the tablet is for web browsing when I'm feeling lazy.

[QUOTE="Eponique"] I own a Samsung Galaxy S so I would agree when it comes to the smartphone space :P Their tablets have been pretty average though. In the war between iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1, I'd pick the iPad 2. The specs are equal for both, but the iPad has the better app store by miles, and the tablets are the same price. The iPad 3 is way ahead of the Galaxy Tab. It's not like the smartphone space where Samsung/Google seem to be a year or two ahead of Apple.Eponique

Well I wouldn't compare the third gen ipad against the second gen GTAB, check out the expected specs for their next tab(third gen, then one that you should compare it to), ipad 3 isn't even close. Higher screen res, Arm's cortex-A15. Beast is all I can say.

@sprucecaboose: Yeah, it's not up to par with the high-end smartphones/tablets

That's not that big of a difference as I thought you were going to say.

Yeah, I'll be interested to see how the real world performance is for all of them. You know how tricky numbers look on paper these days.

Don't get a vita as a portable internet browsing device. Only get one if you want to play games.

It's expensive, but it's even harder to justify 500 bucks for an ipad.

Dedicated games handheld vs. multimedia device with no buttons...

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Well yeah, I want a few PS Vita games as well, but not sure if I want enough to justify $300./ShoTTyMcNaDeS

I don't know, it's hard to explain. I've had an iPad 2 now for a year, and I find that I barely ever use it now. I think the problem is that it doesn't really have a place in my life.

As far as mobile media consumption goes, my Galaxy s2 is better. As far as games go, my 3ds and Vita are much, much better. As far as a portable writing device, my ultrabook is better. As far as drawing goes, a pen and paper are better. Do you see what I mean. Maybe if you're the kind of person who wants to do multiple of those things at a time and you're willing to settle for doing them at a reduced level, then the ipad is perfect for you?

so ps vita is stronger than the ipad 3? u mad?

Vita for hardcore games Ipad 3 for casual. But if I had a choice. the Pad of course. Even though I don't really like apple and their cult members.

Buttons, that is all I have to say.

Guys I was seriously considering getting a Vita and then I saw what the iPad 3 had under the hood and I have to ask with all that muscle, can the iPad 3 seriously pull some bigtime devs in and get some legit games on it like an actual Madden, NBA 2K, a CoD or BF type FPS and a Skyrim-esque RPG? because if you think about it, the WiFi Vita is $249, but then you need atleast an 8 GB memory card which is like $40. Yes, the Ipad 3 is twice the price of the Vita, but it has so many more capabilities beyond just gaming. I have to think "bang for the buck", the Ipad 3 wins hands down! Maybe the Vita is a better pure gaming device, but maybe not!! Your thoughts?ShoTTyMcNaDeS

iOS gaming already has titles from all of the genres you've referenced, and several of the franchises. If you're not familiar with what's available, you should really take some time to check out some of the games companies are putting out. If the controls aren't a barrier for you, there are some splendid games available. If you are familiar with what's available, but not impressed/satisfied, then don't expect the iPad3... err "the new iPad" to change your mind. The resolution, GPU, and RAM bumps are going to enhance gaming on the device going forward, but you're still going to be playing in much the same fashion as before.

You mention "more capablities" as a selling point for you, and if so, then iPad could be a good choice for you. In my opinion, the best "bang for the buck" GAMINGdevice between the two is the Vita.... and the best "bang for the buck" handheld is the DSLite.

In all honsty, neither

A xbox 360 and 3DS is the best combo, they get all the games

Vita is already ancient technology comparing to iPad3, so between the two i would go for ipad 3 of course, that has better games too, bigger screen, better graphics, vastly better resolution, bigger battery life etc

There is no comparisson really

For gaming: VITA

For everything else: iPad 3

Vita, no question.

How about both?

I have a Vita and I just preordered a 3rd gen iPad.

I'm looking forward to a lot of the potential games from the big name developers that have said they are making Vita games.

Two different markets. These products shouldn't even be compared.

I will dive into the tablet market once the Win8 tablets drop. i refuse to become part of the apple ecosystem.

Which version did you get, and did you get on the pre-order early?

Ya I said this like 8 pages ago. However the Vita is NOT on par with the ipad; it exceeds it. The VIta uses a Cortex A9 QUAD core to the Cortez A5X dual core. GPU is likely the same but the clocks of the systems aren't known. Apple will likey throttle it lower. Even if not, you are correct that the ipad resolution takes a LOT of power to run natively . Like 3X the pixel count. So likely any game that was similar would have to be displayed at a very low resoution which would look horrible on the ipad screen since ANY game that doesn't run natively on an LCD/IPS etc screen looks pretty bad.

I'd buy the Vita. Longer lifespan (5-10 year cycle, justifying the cost of entry far more than the iPad justifies it's own), better hardware (even if only marginally so), and so what if the iPad 3 has a larger, higher res screen? The fact of the matter is, the PSVita has honest to goodness buttons, which outweighs any of the positives that the iPad has going in it's favor.

Ah 64 gig wifi black here, preordered soon as the site went up.
