The reason why I don't have a handheld system is because if I'm home and I want to game I'll play the superior games on PS3. I don't take a bus or train and I'm too busy at work so honestly I'd never really use it. If I were to handheld game and was sick of mobile casual games, I'd likely go 3DS but mainly because of the software.

As a Vita owner, I wouldn't buy one.

I got it, hinging on the hopes that they'd bring over a killer app from the PSP. But if you like the other games they have for it, go ahead. It's a great system, it's just that Sony never put enough effort into it.

Hard to win when people are obsessed over pay-to-win games which focus on grinding and <$5 games on their mobile devices.

Decided to get a Wii U instead. May only be slightly more useful.

The games on Wii U are supposed to be really fun from what I hear.

Was able to score a new Vita slim for $128. We'll see tomorrow the condition it arrives in.

Pick up Lumines for it!

I also downloaded some Playstation Store games a la the SNK variety. Mega Man on it is also great.

We'll see. I already got MLB 13 and Gravity Falls for $8 each. I need to investigate where I want to go from here with PSP games - download or keep buying UMDs as I find them. My 1k PSP is slow as turds.

Just installed CFW on the PSP so it should go a lot faster now.

Ahh man, the new Vita just came. It's beautiful. Bought it off of AWD for $128 and it's basically new, if not new. Awesome.

Nope, it can't. Two different topics. He owns a PSP as well.

Sorry, there's really not a PSP thread that I can tell.

Now that my PSP has been upgraded, I really enjoy gaming on both. The PSP is actually slightly more comfortable, and is now a bit faster loading games. Not apples to apples, but still.

I kind of wish I had a train commute or something where I could play them on a regular basis.
