Ps Vita Wifi Bundle

I bought one and it came in broken and the ac adapter is not there

Ok. So I purchased the psp vita for my bestie..and it was a great hit..it practically looks brands new...He is very happy with the item...It was super bubble wrapped to make sure all buttons stayed in place since it not come with its original box.Very happy with purchase ty..

The seller came through with flying colors. All problems were corrected and I'm glad to do business with these first class people. Yes I'm happy

I thought I was going to use it for play video games, play music and play some movies. But it doesn't work for micro sd.

Nothing to dislike.

Sony are a company who know how to do it right. They have been a special company for gaming for a long time, whether on a full sized console or the handheld.The PSP was a great little system, it brought the mainstream, heavier titles of gaming like Need for Speed, GTA and many many more to the small screen.My opinion of the PSP and now the PS Vita, have been that they were/are consoles for hardcore casual players. Someone who doesn't care too much about how or when or what they play but want to feel a bit of quality in their fingers. Which is in fact the reason I sold another great selling console to buy this one. Which I'm sure you know the name of. I wasn't feeling like I was getting my money's worth.First off, the Vita is very expensive. There is no denying. The console itself isn't too bad, but considering you will probably want a game or two, a case? Some screen protectors? Insurance if you are that sort of person. I spent £250 before it even arrived. And the fact this console requires a memory card to play. The proprietary cards Sony designed for this console are extortionate. They made them for the purpose of preventing piracy. That and just like many companies today they probably realised, they can do what they want and if people want a Vita (which understandably a lot of people do), they can charge what they want and people will still buy them. And they are correct. Doesn't mean we have to thank them for it.Without that card this system would be a much more reasonable price. That card sends it from reasonable considering this is a very nice console overall and you are getting your money's worth, to just a little bit too much.Anyway so I opened this thing up and had a quick leaf through the instructions etc. Nothing important there. And then I fired it up.The first thing I realised about this console is it is a bit smaller overall than it would appear in the images. Anyone who has held a PSP for any length of time probably will feel that this console is quite a deal smaller than the previous PSP. But the problem is it has gone from being a slim console to being borderline anorexic unfortunately. For anyone with small hands this is probably decent. I don't have small hands but I don't have massive hands and this console feels too small. I don't know what the obsession with making things smaller for the sake of it is. Especially in cases like this where they appear to do it without any regard for comfort. This console is more comfortable I believe for long periods than the 3DS or DS Lite. Those consoles are even smaller and you know it after playing. This isn't too bad but it could be better.The dual analogue sticks is a definite plus. Now you have the control of a dual shock on a handheld. They are sensitive. Light and very effective. I love them. If there is any negative and it is that they fall into the same dual shock pit fall. The left analogue stick isn't high enough up the controller to be totally comfortable. It feels like you are having to force you thumb down to reach it and considering that is the analogue stick that is the business end of most games, camera, movement, aiming etc. it really shows and the ONLY discomfort I've felt since playing this handheld is in my left thumb from this slightly unnatural positioning.On the back of the Vita there is a touch pad. The touch pad is a good idea, and I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunity to use it in future games. It is a shiny panel, it does look matte in the picture but I can assure you it is glossy. I've used it in a few games and it does work nicely. Feels a little unnatural at first but you get used to it after a while.Second I think it is time for a handheld to try and go entirely the dual shock route. If there is one thing that full sized consoles do well overall is the controllers. They have the art of putting as much controls into easy to use button mapping down to a science. It is time PS put their R2,L2,R3,L3 buttons on their handhelds. And made the handhelds just as comfortable.The console feels very solid. The buttons are crisp and easy to use. The touch screen and back panel are fantastic things. The screen itself is very nice resolution and is the perfect size as far as I can see. Any larger and it would be too heavy, any smaller and it wouldn't be big enough.The user interface on starting this up is an improvement over the previous and the PS3 interface if you ask me. Fully utilises the touch functions and is very well designed and smooth.The battery life on this console is pretty poor overall. With blu-tooth, wireless on and brightness on full this console lasts probably an hour and half. Turn all of these things off or onto minimum though and you can tease out a good three-four hours. I haven't officially timed it or anything but that is about what it feels like. But as this is common with most electrical devices today it isn't a major problem overall. I mean if you are out and about, blu-tooth and wifi are not going to be the top of your priorities list and the brightness is more than enough on minimum to see in pretty much any light so can't be accused of forcing you to waste your precious power.Form factor is important but user interface is less so (as long as it works, which it does). The reason I moved from 3DS to Sony was because I was sick of owning a console I wasn't using. Games on a console are total preference and opinion. It is my opinion that I hate most of the games on 3DS. They are all half arsed ports that look pretty terrible overall, or they are childish enough to make me think twice. That is why I moved to PS Vita, I saw plenty of games I felt I would play.PSN is the future of games in my opinion and Xbox Marketplace/Steam on PC as well. Many people like their physical games but I am sick of trying to find room for disk boxes on my shelves. Digital only games, will come sooner or later, but it will most likely be sooner than you think.PSN holds every game on the PS Vita, there are plenty of them though the list isn't all that long. But of the games on it, there are a lot of high quality, battle hardened titles on it that everyone remembers from the PS1/X days. Mortal Combat, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, those sorts.Then you have the PSP game catalogue. The PS Vita uses SD cards to play it's games. The old UMD days are over, and it couldn't have happened sooner. No more whiring noises coming from the device, no more ugly UMD drive thing popping open on the back. If you have a large PSP stack at home, KEEP YOUR OLD PSP. The PSP UMDs are not backwards compatible with Vita. As it stands there is no way of playing your UMDs that you own on Vita. But a massive selection of PSP games are available on PSN to download. You will have to buy them again though. Luckily they aren't that expensive overall. I haven't seen one for over £10.And finally one of the best parts about owning a PSP or Vita, is the fact PSN has a selection of ported PS1 games. Silent Hill 1, Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3, Medieval, Crash Bandicoot, all of those old gems can now be bought at reasonable price online, downloaded and played anywhere you have your Vita. And if that isn't a great reason to own a Vita alone I don't know what is.The games list on Vita is expanding, slowly but surely it is getting there. Just last week Jack and Daxter, Jak II and Jak III were made for Vita, E3 2013 revealed a number of nice looking games coming along.Then finally the party piece of the Vita. PS4 is engineered at an architecture level, which is a load of circuit boards and wires to most of us, to be compatible for the Vita. Now what that means is, you can use the Vita on PS4 games that allow it as a second screen, much like the Wii U does now. But best of all you can play your PS4 games on the Vita. Yes that is correct, though not in the sense you might expect.The PS3 can use what is called "Remote Play" on Vita right now. Except the PS3 wasn't designed to use it on purpose. The PS4 on the other hand is, so while on PS3 there is probably 20 really crappy games that can use the feature Sony have told us ALL PS4 games will be compatible for Vita EXCEPT the games that are designed to use the Playstation Eye.So what this does is as follows, you connect up your PS Vita to your PS4 using a similar method to linking two phones via blu-tooth. You give a pin to both parties and all people using the pin can connect up. So the PS4 starts up, and starts up a game, the game uses the PS4's hardware to run the game, the PS4 then converts all of the game footage into video, and transmits it wirelessly to the Vita. You control the game using the Vita controls which sends your inputs to the PS4, the PS4 does its thing then sends the result back to the Vita, so in essence you are playing your PS4 game, on your Vita and viewing it by video.The magic to this comes in the form of something called Gaikai. Gaikai is a game streaming service which Sony have bought. Gaikai is a name to sell this process to the public, what Gaikai really is is a bunch of servers. The same way Amazon has a server/s, which we all log into to buy our stuff, Sony have these servers which are used to push game footage to the Vita. The absolute specifics in this are where my knowledge runs out, but what it does mean is the process I described above for playing your PS4 games on Vita, can be done anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. So out at a friends house? Play your PS4 on Vita. Having lunch at work or taking a break? Fire up your PS4 at home from your Vita. At the airport waiting for a two hour delayed flight? Play some PS4.In theory this is what Sony are going for, in practice though there will be some issues. The main one being you will probably need fibre optic connection to pull it off seamlessly. Ever been watching a youtube video and it just buffers over and over and over? Yeah me too, well that is what is going to happen in a way on your game if you don't have exquisite internet speed. But don't be alarmed you don't need to use Gaikai to use the remote play. Gaikai will be needed if you want to use it a long distance from the console. I mean why would you use the remote play if you have the PS4 near you? Well most won't but I personally probably will at some point.Luckily this is still early days, it may not be as bad as it probably is at the moment.A cherry to that cake is though, that Gaikai has been rumoured to allow you to play the entire back catalogue of PS3 titles. This will work on PS4 and on Vita. So in essence the PS Vita not only has its own selection of games, it has the PSP catalogue, the PS1 classics collection, the majority of the PS4 games provided you own a PS4, and the entire PS3 catalogue as well. Gaikai is supposed to be up and running in 2014. Lets hope they don't change their minds!So to summarise, this console is fantastic, it is reasonably comfortable despite a few issues. The console is top quality, it is easy to use, it has an astounding range of features that can be used by game developers. And the games catalogue isn't too shabby either. To top that off Sony have announces some beefy plans for this system in years to come.It may be expensive but Sony sure make you feel like you have made the right choice.If you want to know whether it is worth it for you, have a look at the games available, on here and on the Playstation Store, then ask yourself if you can see yourself playing those games. That is what I did and I am so happy with the purchase.

I know because of who makes it, the Vita is never going to be given a fair go by some and that is a genuine shame, as this handheld is incredibly impressive. It delivers a massive amount of technical horsepower that nearly puts it on equal footing with HD home consoles, a rich, diverse feature set and an easy to use dual stick design which handheld consoles have been crying out for for many years now. It is an exceptional piece of kit... but it isn't without it's flaws... not the least of which is the expensive price tag (Even though it has dropped significantly in price since it first went up for pre-order).First, the design of the console... which is perhaps a tad on the "long" side (Though this is understandable given the huge screen it has I guess) in addition to being fairly heavy for something this size (Along similar lines to how the very first PSP was I'd say)and as a result it can feel a bit big in the hands initially, but once you manage to adjust to it, it feels very comfortable to use, with the buttons and screen all placed in fairly tight proximity to allow for easy switching from analogue sticks to buttons to touch screen on the fly. It's a layout that works very well for what it needs to do, though there is perhaps a complaint to be made about how small and fiddly the analogue sticks can feel. Also, I'd strongly recommend you get both a wrist strap and a screen protector for safety before you even touch the thing. The screen can smudge quite easily when you're touching it and switching around control methods leaves open the danger of dropping it. Better safe than sorry. It's a great design overall, if not a perfect one, but it does what it needs to and that's the main thing I suppose. The covering tab for the cartridge slot isn't much fun to open if you don't have long nails either, and the actual game cartridges themselves are ridiculously tiny. I could see them being very easy to misplace or lose if you aren't careful.Second, the console's features, which is where it shines brightest. The feature set on offer here is pretty amazing, with a variety of control options to draw on besides the standard buttons and thumb sticks. The touch screen is particularly impressive in just how responsive it is. Most of my experience of touch screens up to now has been through the various Nintendo DS consoles, so what the Vita does could be the norm for smartphones and the like, but I gotta tell you this is worlds apart from the comparatively simple jabbing at the lower screen of the DS with a stylus. The home menu demonstrates this nicely with a completely touch navigated set up of "Apps" (Called the "Live Area") that responds quickly and smoothly to the slightest touch and so far the in-game implementations have impressed, with Uncharted for example, letting you do such things as "draw" a path along handholds on walls for Drake to follow rather than navigate him manually with the sticks, and carvings you can take charcoal rubbings of, where you actually 'rub' the screen to create the rubbing. It works beautifully. The rear touch pad is perhaps a slightly less impressive feature so far, but there is some clever implementation of it in some games, such as Uncharted again, where sliding your finger up and down the rear pad can be used to adjust zoom levels on sniper rifles and cameras very easily and Stardust Delta has a mini game where you have to 'crush' asteroids between your thumb and finger using the touch screen and rear pad simultaneously. Clever, but thus far it's more a novelty than a genuinely essential control element. There is also a gyroscope built in for 'tilt' nonsense in games that to be honest seems just as annoying as it did on the 3DS. It's not a feature I'm a fan of in general. Hardware features aside, the software features (Sorry... "Apps"), have some really nice functions as well, including cross game/party chat, which is a feature people apparently wanted very badly on the PS3 for whatever reasons. It seems to work very well as far as I can see. There are standard features such as the media players for videos and music and a web browser (That doesn't have flash support yet, so no Youtube for you!) in addition to a console tutorial/mini game collection called 'Welcome Park', which walks you through the various features of the Vita and then sets you challenges in using them in order to earn trophies, which are catalogued in the efficiently laid out trophies app, which gives you the option of viewing either your Vita earned trophies only or a full collection of all your trophies earned on Vita and PS3 combined into one big list. Sadly you can't as yet view Vita trophies using your PS3, but your PSN ID card does keep tracked of Vita trophies thankfully, once you've synched both consoles up to the network of course. Synching your trophies by the way is considerably faster on Vita than on PS3 (Has yet to take longer than 5 seconds or so when I synch them on it), and it synchs them automatically whenever you launch the trophy app, handily. The system also lets you use custom soundtracks on any game, manage your PS3 friends list and associated messages, take pictures with the front or rear cameras, and also remotely access your PS3 via wifi or ad hoc, which works much better than the same feature on the PSP, but still doesn't allow you to play PS3 games via the handheld... yet. An interesting app I thought was the 'Near' app, which uses the network to scan for other Vita users in your area and provides data on what they are playing, which games are proving most popular and what the players think of those games demonstrated using emoticons and pie charts. It's an interesting tool that has seen me inundated with friend requests from people who live nearby (who presumably found me using Near themselves) and the 'gifting' function that many Vita games incorporate utilising Near (That sees you receive content for games like extra missions, challenges, collectibles and such from other users as you 'find' them via Near). I could see comparisons being drawn with the 3DS' Streetpass and Mii features, but the way in which the two function is very different (eg, You can't set your Vita to exchange information with other Vita owners you'd pass in the street), but that's still probably the closest comparison I could offer for it. Lastly, I'd like to make mention of the way the Vita keeps track of the progress people on your friends list make through games and gives you a breakdown of the milestones they've hit in those games. For example, I was starting Wipeout 2048 after trying it out on launch day and when I touched the 'app tab' for the game on the Live Area, it brought up a series of chronologically ordered boxes showing my ID beside pictures of trophies earned for that game and such info as "achieved a time of 1m 45s on course X" (Not a real course btw, just an example) along with boxes showing people on my friends lists' trophies and times for various courses and how they compare to my own. It is basically like Need for Speed Hot Pursuit's superb Autolog feature... but for every game (Every game I've played so far at least). There are other features, but I'd be here all day covering them all. Suffice to say, on the features front, this console is a beast.The technical prowess of the machine is well known as being equally impressive, but trust me, it's only when you see the scale and level of detail on display in titles like Uncharted that you really appreciate just how much grunt the Vita has. True, you can see how it doesn't quite match up to the visuals of the PS3, but it's pretty damn close... so close that it almost doesn't matter. The quality obviously varies from game to game, but given just how impressive so many of the games available for it on day one are, it's going to be a sight to see what sort of games start appearing once the hardware has been properly mastered by developers. It's a powerful piece of hardware and no mistake.Speaking of the games, it seriously cannot be overstated how exceptional a software line up the Vita's launch games are. There are some truly excellent titles available, with the highlights for me personally being Uncharted, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Wipeout and Ninja Gaiden, in addition to superb downloadable titles like Stardust Delta and Motorstorm RC (Which are both very cheap to purchase as well). I've bought 8 games for it already, and can see at least 4 more I want to get just from the launch games alone. I don't want to labour console comparison nonsense here, but in all honesty, I'd rate the Vita's first day games line up higher than the 3DS' first YEAR games line up, as in almost a year of ownership of the 3DS, I have bought a grand total of 9 games, with nothing else interesting me yet released. I'm not a fan of fanboy baiting crap like this, but considering we're talking about new handheld hardware, comparisons between the two machines are inevitable, despite how different what they both offer is. There is, however, a point to be made about how the Vita's short term release schedule is fairly sparse for the rest of the year, with only about 2 games a month showing on most release calendars. Likely this will change come E3 and it's announcements, but for the moment things could be a tad more... "populated"... on the games front, especially in comparison to the 3DS, which is finally hitting it's stride in the coming months from the looks of it.Chances are you'll have made up your mind about the Vita already based off of disproportionately negative coverage from some sectors of the media that's more about grinding an axe with Sony than it is how the Vita itself shapes up and of course the reports of poor sales of the thing don't really help it's case, but seriously, if you haven't already, go to your nearest HMV or somewhere and try out a demo model of the console for yourself and I think you'll be very surprised by just how well it works and how impressive the games actually look running on it in your hands. Every person I've let use my console so far has been deeply impressed with it despite none having any real interest in it prior... leading me to believe the only thing that's going to make up anyone's mind for sure about the Vita is actually trying one yourself. If it still does nothing for you at that point... hey, at least you gave it a shot... but I daresay most will find themselves surprised by how much they like the look of it. And yes, I'm aware I'm saying reviews such as this one are essentially useless here if trying the machine first hand is the only way to make up your mind about it, but it's the truth. I can harp on about how much I love it all day, but why should you listen to me when the only opinion you should trust is your own? For my part though, despite some minor issues with the design and a price tag that could perhaps be described as a bit high, I think this console is exceptional. There is a lot to love here, and while you'll probably be bombarded with negativity about it from certain sources, I have no hesitation in saying that most of what you'll be hearing/reading about it is total crap. I think it's well worth the sub £200 price tags that are now more or less the standard for it. Maybe it won't last, I'm not in a position to judge that, but while it does I'm going to enjoy it.Try it out.

This Item is seriously good even though it is getting old. It pairs up with a ps3 and ps4 perfectly. If you are thinking of getting one they are really good. You just have to get your hands on one to really see how. They are ahead of their time and are truly an amazing console like experience on the go.Ok so happiness out of the way lets get objective. I had heard of the Vita dying and looked at getting one with reservations, as I felt there would be a decreasing amount of games to play. I also thought it was a product that was almost to much, it was a console on the go (who has time to play 4hrs of games while on the go). You want something quick and fun yet portable. However, I looked up reviews and looked at the games list and got one.Here is why I took the plunge, negative first then positives:Negatives are the memory cards are a joke (made me drop a star cause a memory card is required for the device), and way to expensive but you just have to bite the bullet on them. No new AAA games developed by sony will come to Vita. The initial cost of a vita is a tad high but this is counteracted by the second hand market and the product when you get it makes you appreciate it and think that it is just about an ok price after all.Positives: So starting with counteracting the negatives the memory card is the way to go with a Vita so if you can get a bundle with a card to get you going then go for it. I do then advise later to just go all out on the massive japan 64Gb that works on all vita systems UK or not, or a 32Gb thats here in the UK. the reason for the recommendation is the experience of having your games with you on the go is made so much better when not having to look through tiny game cartridges (However, saving memory space I advise getting vita exclusives on cartridge). No AAA games is not a problem at all having a ps vita on it own opens up a massive collection of games on vita so far and a good bunch of classic ps games or ps2 games (If you don't believe me search the ps store or google plenty of people post updated lists). The console cost is high but its screen, controls and feel are quality, it just works as a device really well and is a great working piece of kit. It really is an amazing bit of kit. The beauty of it is you can (just like with phones) have multitasking so just hit the ps home button and your game is paused ready for playing again later you can open other programs or even games, this is great for quick games. Th experience is even better when plugging headphones in and having a gaming session for a few hours just on the sofa, immersing you in your games.Positives that are not counteracting the negatives: If you have a ps3 or ps4 get one! Seriously just get one! With cross play on quite a few games. With lists of those games posted online for people to check before buying on the ps store, means you can by a game and play it at home on your ps4 or and or on the go on you new vita (long train journeys spring to mind). If you have PS Plus service get one! This means you get four games a month I think. You basically get more games to play under that subscription you have (who doesn't want that). The game are normally the better games too. You have remote play meaning that if the TV is being used your games can be streamed from your ps3 or 4 to your vita so you can play any of those games pretty darn well (depending on your wifi), anywhere in the house. New games are coming to vita and sony are opening the vita to indie developers and making that experience better. If you like indie games get one there are loads to try, this is where you get your quick pick up and play games and its a growing area for the vita with new games every month. The cost is a pain and yes you will need to buy a big memory card eventually. However, two bits on the memory card I found was that once you by the games they can be re downloaded to 3 active devices as much as you want so once you have completed the game you can un install it to save space an re download and install it if you want to play it again. Secondly, I currently have a 8Gb card and it has 9 games on = Spyro trilogy, Crash trilogy, Indie games. I am looking to save for a bigger card but it proves that if you have indie games or ps1 and ps2 mostly then you can store quite few on the card. However, vita exclusives, I would advise buying on cartridge to save storage if you plan to have lots of games, as they are 3 gigs ish or more. However, indies are like 800mb mostly so you can store quite a few. As normal. check and see what games you want to get and see what will fit your wants best.So overall this device is not dead it does a huge amount of stuff and makes the best out of portable gaming. I hope I have helped people decide. I did a lot of research before buying this product and so its hard to sum all that knowladge up. However, I am over the moon with it as its ticks all the boxes I wanted, I can only hope the information above helps you with researching what you want from a vita and get an idea for whether it ticks your boxes.

I was a fan of the PSP and PS3 so sooner or later I was going to fall for the Vita. I had pre-ordered a Vita before its launch then actually got cold feet and cancelled my order. A couple of weeks after the launch and the good things I was hearing I gave in and ordered one after selling my PSP and entire PSP library of games. I bought the Amazon deal with the memory card and choice of discounted game (Rayman). Upon receiving the Vita I was a bit disappointed that you have to update it immediately before you can use Playstation network but that's common with most smart devices now as there are always software updates after the launch. I updated the Vita by connecting it to my home Wifi and it downloaded and updated itself quickly. The interface it uses is very different from anything you will have seen on Sony before as its been designed for the touch screen. Each application is like a disc and you can flick up and down between screens as you install more applications or games. The built in 'Welcome Park' application/game walks you through the basic features and controls the Vita has. I recommended you play through this first and earn some trophies if you are quick enough :) I then connected to Playstation network and checked which games I could download onto my new Vita as some PSP games and Minis are compatible with it immediately. I was happy enough that I could download my PSP versions of Modnation Racers, Little Big Planet and Practical IQ and play them on the Vita. I could also download some Minis I have bought as well as Motorstorm RC as I'd already bought the PS3 version and you get the Vita version free. So before I'd even tried my Rayman game I'd already a nice collection of games on my Vita. I recommend you go on PSN and get Skype and the free Vita Paint application (see below for the free games and applications you can get from the playstation store). The console is very easy to use - I don't see the rear touch pad being used much at all but maybe I'll be surprised. I connected it using remote play to my PS3 and played Bejewled 2. Remote play works just like the PSP at the moment but because of the Vitas better processing power I'm sure it's something they will expand on. Overall I'm happy with the Vita so far - its very early days and I think the best is yet to come. I'm sure as its been so popular at launch we can expect to see some great titles very soon. I say go for it!Current list of FREE titles you can get from Playstation store for Vita:*Skype*Paint Park*Cliff Diving (using augmented reality cards)*Fireworks (using augmented reality cards)*Table Football (using augmented reality cards)*TOM Blitz (like Bejewled)*Frobisher says (like a Simon says game)

I bought a Vita because I never owned a PSP and wanted to play some old PSP games. I felt £200 investing in a cutting-egde PS Vita was more sensible than £90 for a budget PSP.Hardware: Amazing quality screen, stereo sound with headphones output, capacitative touchscreen and rear touchpad are very responsive, microphone and cameras are also good quality, bluetooth and wifi present in all models, powerful CPU and GPU. Battery life isn't bad at around four hours. Only complaint would be a lack of video output to play on a big screen, but I suppose they still want to sell PS3s! One promising feature is that of streaming PS3 gameplay to the Vita, but haven't tried that yet.Gameplay: As near to a home console as has ever been seen. The touchpad, tilt sensors and cameras feel gimmicky, but I'd rather have them built-in if that makes this a so-called 'ultimate' handheld. R2/L2/R3/L3 are of course absent, but it is a handheld. The right analogue stick is incredibly useful, and can be mapped onto the D-pad in order to play PSP games using both analogue sticks.Software: Embarrassingly small and expensive games selection at the moment, but for anyone who didn't own a PSP there's the PSP back-catalogue. The Vita's apps-style system is nice, although it becomes a little annoying having to load a trophies app each time you want to look at the list or sync it with the server.Online: Nice features such as Near (find other Vita users nearby) and Party (online chat), slightly annoying that you can only link/log-in with one PSN account - perhaps this is to make it harder to share one Vita between two or three.Cost: For what it is, this device isn't too badly-priced - compare it with the likes of an iPad. Both are, after all, toys and not meant for work purposes etc (ever try writing even a longish email on an iPad?), biggest differences are that Vita's games are for the moment hideously overpriced, and that the Vita has proper controls. As I mentioned, the PSP back-catalogue is there (we're talking ten dollar games in some cases), though Sony are taking their time to port everything, and there are no PSone games yet. Overall, I really hope the price of the system and games will come down over time, and I trust that Sony will dramatically increase the range of games available - you need some killer apps, guys!Other gripes: The memory cards - they're amazingly small, and weigh 0.6g each, but they're too expensive when compared to SD cards of the same capacity. In most cases, you'll need a memory card to play. The content management system is also quite rightly described by others as a chore - think Google Chromebook before they gradually started to improve the file manager.Summary: hardware and gameplay are amazing, software has some way to go regarding variety and pricing. If you don't own a PSP, though, there's a lot of old PSP games you can get on the cheap. So if you're new to PS handhelds I'd say get one, but if you're upgrading I'd hold off for a better range of games, and a small drop in the console's price.
