This is wishful thinking in my part, but I'm sure I'll get bored and go pick one up at Best Buy in a couple of months. My sate for new gadgets always outweighs my willpower to resist.

Picked up my Vita from Gamestop earlier and I couldn't be happier with it. The visuals in Uncharted are just amazing and look like something on a console. I know there'll be a price drop within the year but this thing is worth it if you ask me. Anyone who's thinking about getting one, you wont be disappointed.

Mine was waiting for me at my doorstep when I got home. Pretty excited to get everything started.

before anyone asks, the box on the right was inside the First Edition box. I thought that was strange.

I'm setting everything up. I already had a chance to try the Vita a few weeks ago at a Vita social club event in SF, but I'll say it again: In person, the OLED screen is huge and beautiful.

Btw if anyone's looking for Vita wallpapers and backgrounds, here's a site that's uploading them daily, and you can enter your own submissions as well. Since the Vita has 10 icon screens you can slide around in (each screen can have it's own wallpaper, that's 10 wallpapers that you can apply at a time.

I'm using this one for now,

With this as the lock screen:

Which works like this:

Re: Playstation Vita (formerly PSP2/NGP - $250)

That does look snazzy. I really hope this sells well - so much potential here....

Re: Playstation Vita (formerly PSP2/NGP - $250)

I really prefer Vita's PSN store to the PS3's, which is a cluttered mess. It's also really easy to transfer the stuff I had on the PS3 onto Vita.

It's a really nice machine, I'm impressed by how fast the OS is. I'm not quite in love with the analog sticks yet. They don't have as much travel distance as the Dual Shock sticks. As of right now, I still prefer the 3DS slide pad when it comes to portable analog sticks. I also dislike how fiddly it is to swap out game carts. You really need your fingernail to pry open the game cart slot cover. It's annoying. Also, the PS button stays lit for the duration that the Vita is on. At the moment I don't see a way to turn it off. It's kinda distracting.

I had Hot Shots Golf and Wipeout sent to me along with the system. I haven't actually played them yet as I'm busy fooling around with the OS, pre-installed minigames and downloading demos from PSN.

Generally, I'm really impressed by the Vita. The last time I've was this impressed by a portable device was the PSP back in 2004.

It did say on the website they were having them in-store o play with, but didn't say which stores

Hope my local has t to try out.

They said every single one in the UK will have one, its just a matter of when.

Plasmid you have unleashed my envy lol

Re: Playstation Vita (formerly PSP2/NGP - $250)

So far, so good! This is quite the little piece of tech. By far the most impressive thing is the screen, it is just gorgeous. To be honest, I haven't had a lot of time yet to mess with it, but I have had fun getting everything set up and playing a little bit of Uncharted and UMvC3.

Cant wait to hear fan impressions on Golden Abyss

So far I've really enjoyed it. The gameplay mechanics are really good and I love being able to adjust my aiming by tilting the system around. Watching videos online just dont do the graphics justice, their almost on par with the PS3 and thats saying a lot. The scary thing is that games usually look a lot better a year or so after launch, but this looks phenominal!

Thanks for that...I've heard it looks nice. When i do pick up a Vita, that's my number one title thus far
