The wait is over...has it been worth it for you so far?

**ScrappyDoo** · 02-22-2012

FEB'ers and Launchers can finally enjoy the Vita together... For those that got it today, what are your thoughts?

**radgamer420** · 02-22-2012

Definitley worth it. As I said in the other thread I've been playing Uncharted and it looks amazing and the touch controls are well implemented. Yeah, this was money well spent. I'm a happy camper.

can anyone give me a dollar amount of the total of the vita + a 32gb + a screen protector and a game?

**Lethal_NFS** · 02-22-2012

Well worth the wait. The PS Vita offers more than what the PS3 can. If Mass Effect 3 was not coming out, I probably would not even turn my PS3 on for a while.

**emmerich** · 02-22-2012

I'm so jealous of the folk who can afford it right now

Thats around 400usd with a Wifi vita and a 40usd game. 3G Vita will add 50usd more + taxes (if any).

Myyyy prreeciiioouuusss

So glad to have it, spent most the evening downloading demos and trying them out! I'm hoping the games I ordered turn up tomorrow, REALLY wanna try wipeout!

Absolutely worth it. Thing runs like a charm, starting or switching from apps to games etc is quick and painless.
Touch works perfectly. Sticks are a little bit sensitive but probably because of shorter throw.

Screen is absolutely gorgeous...okay I'm going back to Uncharted now.

I would echo the above. I'm really pleased with this thing, over the moon infact! I can see myself playing/using this for a long time. The hardware itself is breathtakingly beautiful <3 seriously. Despite not having a glass screen and being made primarily out of plastics it feels so well made, very well put together - the weight is just right and I get no cramps that I would usually on handhelds of the past

There are a few niggles such as: not knowing what game cart is inserted - the bubble of whatever game is in the cart should at least have a ring or something round it. I still don't appreciate that I can't surf the web while having a game running (I think Sony have said they are working on this, however), and the shoulder buttons are a tad fiddly - I have to put more pressure on them that I would like, friends/trophies/messaging should all be under one app and be streamlined - the UI is very quick to the touch but it gets tedious moving in and out of things that should ideally be lumped into one sort of..portal (app)

Overall I'm extremely happy with my Vita, it is fantastic and the UI and services seem to be running very smoothly on what is launch, which is good going! I have no buyers remorse whatsoever. Reassuringly, everything I mentioned (apart from the shoulder buttons) is patchable so here's hoping Sony stays on top of it!

For me it was well worth it. It's miles ahead of the PSP and i was not a big fan of the PSP at all but, Vita is taking my time!!

**Edwerd** · 02-23-2012

im loving the vita so far

**floetry** · 02-23-2012

Still waiting on mine in the mail. lol.

I want to see what happens in april in may. If you look at vita's release schedule in april, it is DRY. I really hope they release a game that's worthy that month. Hopefully MGSHD.

**arfi-gorgona-O** · 02-23-2012

Amazing piece of hardware,i was never so impressed or interested on PSP,this is why i had 3 of them so far,but sold or gave away all of them.But this hardware is amazing...I'm so exited with it, bring elders scrolls pls it can easily do it

**Ariakace** · 02-23-2012

epic epicness! I have to say, i was really skeptical about the touch features being added to it, but holy crap it actually feels like youre doing something in the game rather than all these action button sequences. I really hope Naughty Dog nuts up and adds Vita support for Uncharted 4. The charcoal rubbings, and putting ripped up pieces of paper together and stuff really kind of breaks that 4th wall for me. color me very impressed.

**cpitt** · 02-23-2012

This question is to those who have bought one, have you wrapped it up or are you playing it with protection, I'm on the fence and would like to know if the screen is scratch magnet, if it is id rather have some sort of zagg screen protector before i buy it.

right now not playing it with anything on it, but i would definately get some screen protectors as the screen is a fingerprint magnet.

Yeah, I loved that too. Dont forget about using touch control to turn the combination on that lock. That was cool too.
