Well that is a good topic. I have a 3ds and I "like" it... And it seems there is some better titles for it than the vita, that's why I've been waiting.so if its not better "game wise" then there is no point of me getting one.

SasoriSoren:
Exactly. If there isn't a must have game for it, I won't get it.

MedaForce:
It's a great piece of hardware and I would like to get one someday but until it gets some great exclusives (and i mean true exclusives and not ones that also show up on the PS3) I just can't justify the price.

I would say wait till E3, most likely we'll get a price drop and maybe they will be showing off a lot more games for it.

sheep2001:
It really is alovely piece of kit from a hardware perspective, but the titles havent been very good. Even wipeout and ridge racer have failed to excite me, and they are 2of my favourite franchises, so Mine has mostly been gathering dust. Although, this week I got lumines free with PS plus, and I love it.

The good:
The dual analogue sticks are really solid, and feel much better than the PSP stick.
The screen is fantastic.
Decent battery life.

The bad
I don't care much for the rear touch pad, it feels a bit gimmicky.
I don't like having games on little memory chips, and they mostly don't come with instruction manuals. It's only a tiny step away from being download only.
The new release games are ridiculously expensive for the most part. If you are used to casual gamng on an iPad for less than a dollar a game, it's a bit hard to swallow paying 60 for a vita title. Regardless of how much better/deeper it is. Mobile gaming has changed, and the vita missed the boat.

I cant really fault the actual unit, but I can only recommend it if there are games you want to play on it, and you don't mind paying for them.

madrocsz:
Suppose I should give a more realistic review of the system. My 3ds comment was simply a matter of opinion, there are some excellent games for the 3DS but I just base it on which one I simply play more.

Pros

Comfortable feel, can play for hours no cramping
Battery life is more than suffice for a long day of gaming
Screen and responsiveness are excellent
system software, again quite snappy
dual analog
playstation store (especially if you have PS Plus)

Cons

Pricey both system and memory
low amount of games currently
not very pocket friendly
