PSVITA reservation, expectations and worries. (MAY GET EDITED LATER)

Hello everyone. As you may of you already now the PSVita, Sony's next handheld is just around the corner. I'm almost sure that many of you are right now the same boat I am. Recently I went to Gamestop and reserved the Wi-Fi model.

Seeing videos of the system on youtube grabbed my attention and although it seems promising at the same time I don't feel sure about the future of the system. I'm kind of worry about spending large sum of money and in the end getting disappointed.

$249.99 for the system, $34.99 for 8gb memory, $19.99 carrying bag and $39.99 for game. The real total price I will end paying is a whooping $344.96 That's without counting the taxes.:shock: The last thing I want is to regret spending this much money and getting disappointed.:shock

In the end, money doesn't grow on trees.:( I'm just a College student right now saving and trying to find a part-time job. So I need to keep an eye on my savings.

After thinking it a lot I came to the conclusion that if I am going to get a PSVita there's no need to have a bunch of systems. I have GB Pocket, GBA, DSLite, 3DS and will have the PSVita. One thing that have been holding me from selling it is that in this system the DS games look more colorful than in the 3DS.

I hope to not regret selling it.:roll: Someone is going to pay me $70 dollars for it in a short time from now. So that's a big more less paying for the PSVita.:D

I don't want to end disappointed and regret spending a large amount of money like what happened with my 3DS. I do like the system but the initial price was too much to pay for it, it was clearly a like $180 dollars system.


My expectations from the system

1. Great games after each other. I don't want to get a system only to wait a year or more for two great titles to grab my attention. Even if you are not going to buy every single game, it is great to have a lot of variety.

2. Much, much better screen than the 3DS. I want better and briter colors. I like the 3DS screen but for some reason the DSLite one is backlight is stronger.

3. Better online system than the 3DS, at least similar to the PS3.

4. Great user interface and options to customize like wallpapers.

5. Great sound capabilities, they don't have to be superb just great.

6. The most important , I want to fell the system is worth the money every time I turned it on. I want a system with a lot of support lots of demos to download.

My biggest worry

1. Getting dissapointed after spendig a large amount of my savings and regretting buying it.

2. Spending the large amount of money and see a large price-drop announcement soon.

3. Ending with a system with little developer support or with a system that died like the Sega Dreamcast. In short wasting my money.
