Looks great. I am assuming this is that new PSP's official name?

I'd still like to sell my PSP. Guess it's worth even less now.

I definitely want one.. I am still going to keep my old PSP for all of my UMD's, but I am stoked they FINALLY (after 4 generations) put on 2 analogue sticks!

They just unveiled the feature to play full games on the PS3, hook it up to your Vita, and play the exact same game on the Vita at the exact same spot. Definitely worth it when you're playing something and you have to leave for a family gathering or event ;)

I believe it's "compatible" games that will have this feature, not all games. I would love to be wrong, that would definately seal the deal for me

Is it just me? My brain wants to read PITA instead of PS Vita. Maybe it's my bias against Sony.

I still have my PSP. I hardly play it anymore since I got my first iPod touch a couple years ago. Now I have a 4th gen iPod touch, Dad has my 2nd gen, and my PSP sits in a case.

Might get the PS Vita for grins, depending on if Dad wants a new iPod touch this Christmas (I'm anxious for September!).

Oh of course, however with them being able to just port games over (If I remember correctly that's what they said) it shouldn't take them long to port something good.

The problem is (if this is true) is waiting for them to port and finding out what they think is important enough to port.

Yea I remember waiting FOREVER for them to port my favorite ps2 games over for the ps3, some of which still aren't compatible. I dunno about the vita. If I wanted something to play games on and web browse and such I would use my iphone or ipad or even my older Touch. Guess that is just me though.
