So I was given the device again with a memory card for an updated review. Coincidentally, the same time as this thread popped back up. Anyway, this time I get to keep it as payment rather than the $100 I get paid per review. WOOH.
I love the device. I agree with Sirean, it feels quite phenomenal. With just a few bucks a month, the PSN+ gives you a variety of great games, including Uncharted etc., but the treasure are the Indie and Free to Play gems.
The key to getting the most out of your Vita is to not buy a single disc game, and just get a huge memory card. Then, you can download the AAA games for half the price from PSN. Luckily, I got the Vita 2 months ago during the holiday sale, where I only spent $7 on the PSN membership and at this moment in time, I've put in less than $15 and have a huge library of magnificent games. I find it so hard to put the Vita down!
If you have a Vita, play Jetpack Joyride. It is absolutely free and just an amazingly fun game. I am so addicted to my Vita. Other games such as Wipeout, I never really liked on the big screen, even though I tried really hard on the PS3. But it seems that Wipeout is made for the Vita.
In other news, why are all the Angry Birds games so expensive on PSN? $40 for Star Wars Angry Birds? What are they smoking?
